The current American lifestyle is not sustainable. I sincerely hope our species will clean up our act before it is too late. I have faith we can.

I am curious as to how you live differently than the rest of us. And, personally, I find referring to those created in the form and likeness of almighty God as a "species" to be highly offensive.

If we're not a species, then what are we? :emot-eek:

We were created after God's image; all other animals "after their own kind." It's a fine point, not linguistic but theological. To me, it merely lowers man to the level of the animals.

The Bible says that God created everything according to its kind (Genesis 1), i.e., "like begets like". I see no theological problem in understand the human species (in a biological sense) as comprising one Genesis

Well put. Lorax. :24:

Thanks! :P

"We" included me. Like most Americans I have a huge ecological footprint.

Species -- a reproductively isolated population of life forms.

...That offends you? :)

As for me, I am proud to be a part of America, the nation leading the way in cleaner technologies and a more efficient use of our natural resources. Unlike many third world countries, which never get trounced for killing the planet, for some reason.

Guess Evolution failed! :24::):P

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 15:14

The Trouble With This Green Tyrant Want-a-bee Is He Seems To Suffer From A Terminal Case of some Nose-Drip Viral Infection!

It appears to be spreading in classrooms and government chambers world-wide!

Maybe the world just misplaced their Bibles and now has no effective innoculation......

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
1 Peter 4:15

No Faith

No Joy

Sad

Trouble In Dodge

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 2:16-17

Snake In The Grass

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:4-5

Sheriff's In Town

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8

What A Difference A Day Makes

The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Zephaniah 1:14-16

What's To Worry, All Clean!

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Numbers 6:24-26

Love, Joe

I simply used the word "species" for its dictionary definition. The only thing I implied was that humans are (1) life forms which are (2) reproductively isolated. I never said humans were lowly beasts; don't worry.

As for me, I am proud to be a part of America, the nation leading the way in cleaner technologies and a more efficient use of our natural resources.

I am also a proud American. Most of all, I am proud of the principles on which this country was founded. I am less proud of some of our country's modern trends. U.S. education is subpar and our IT prowess is being outsourced. We were at one time a leader in clean technologies, leading the way in ozone policy reform, but that is no longer the case.

I agree about the US education system at the elementary level, although the world is still coming to American universities, but I am curious, if we are not leading the world in clean technologies, who is?? The EU? Great Britain? Australia?? Canada?? To whom are you referring? I mean, like I said, people are coming HERE, we are not going THERE.

Well, truth to tell, lest there be any confusion on this vital matter, Adam, our first parent, was a special creation of God. Not an animal, not a vegetable, not a mineral - but a special creation made in the image & likeness of his Creator. Or have you ever seen a cow, horse or an orangatang in holy worship & singing praises to the Lord of the universe?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
