The Horseless Carriage

It’ll Never Work

I love the environment. It is God’s Creation.

I’m a Christian and I believe that God told humans to take care of His creation. It’s one of the first things He told us to do.

Humans have failed. We have let greed and the love of money, along with fear and a desire for control, destroy the world. We have let global conquest destroy the creation.

I see posts on Facebook, where people argue that attempts to be more “Green” will never work. It costs too much. It creates pollution. It doesn’t put out enough energy.

These people never worried about such things when billionaires were destroying the planet. But, now all of a sudden when we try to save it, they are worried about government control and subsidies. They are worried about mandates. They are concerned about pollution.

It’s funny because they will attack electric cars, and talk about how they need a generator or electric power source ran by fossil fuels in order to operate. That the electric fuel stations still use fossil fuels.

Or if an electric care breaks down they bring out a gas generator to power it up so it can run. They call this hypocrisy.

This sort of rhetoric reminds me of stories about all the old men in the early 1900’s who made fun of the horseless carriage back in the day, saying “Look! it needs a team of horses to pull it from the mud!” “It’ll never work!” “It costs too much money!” “Horses are better, and this new fangled contraption will never catch on…”

It’s ridiculous.

Here’s what I believe on the matter.

Yes, large amounts of the green movement are nothing more than efforts to bring in global government and to get more control over people.

That needs to be stopped.

But, the fact is that we are destroying the world and need to do better. If we sit and wait for it to change it never will. So, we need to do things to fix it, and be ready to put the brakes on efforts that destroy liberty.

God gave humans instructions “to dress and keep” His creation. He told us to restore what we use, as we grow in population. He told us to subdue it and have dominion over it, in Love, Wisdom, Joy and Peace. Not in greed and love of money. (Gen. 1:28, Gen. 2:15)

Our feelings toward the natural world is a reflection of what is in our heart. If we cannot show love and kindness to the least of these in God’s creation, it shows that we are utterly depraved and in need of a savior to fix us. Jesus Christ is that savior.

What if God allows the weak things in the world to exist to show us we are fallen and need to turn to Him?

Something is wrong with humanity. It is obvious.

Our efforts to save the planet are needed. Even if we believe that the prophecies show this world will be destroyed, and that the Anti-Christ will use these things to take over. It doesn’t matter.

We have been instructed by God to take care of His creation.

It’s like saying we won’t help a starving man because he is going to die someday anyway, and he might possibly commit some sin in the future.

It’s ridiculous to not show love and wisdom because of some possible future events.

It is quite likely, that at some point very soon there will be a break through in Cold Fusion or some other power source and all these arguments about fossil fuels will become obsolete.

I would not be surprised if they don’t already have the key to it, but are trying to make sure they can control it, and charge us for it.

Like Nikolai Tesla, who wanted to give free energy to the world, but could not get any funding for it. International Bankers and those who control the world, will not release such things until they have a means of control, and a way to get rich off it.

So, what’s the point?

Well, the point is that Christian believers need to realize that God cares for His creation and they need to start “Dressing and Keeping It” as God commanded.

We do not have to support global agendas or the workings of the spirit of anti-christ. To care about clean water, and the protection of our world. We don’t have to throw out the baby with the bath water. We are supposed to be salt and light. We are called to hold back the darkness.

If we have a callous attitude toward the innocent things that God has put under our protection, what does that say about us? Does it cause people to want to listen to our view? Does it cause people to want to know the God we claim to represent?

We have let political parties and political agendas keep us from serving God in the way He has called us.

We have allowed ourselves to be divided and distracted.

As believers we have a job to to do.

To serve God and others.

To spread the Gospel, and Love.

God is our purpose. Nothing else.

Turn to God, and let Him guide you.
