Should Creation Be Exalted Above Humans?



God gave man dominion over creation (Genesis 1:26), including over the animals. This dominion does not mean we can deliberately abuse, neglect, or harm creation. Rather, we’re to use what God has made for our good and his glory. #godsword #answersingenesis #martyniles

  1. Martyn, I am going to hell. I blasphemed the Holy Spirit and I have dementia now. Please please pray for me. That God will allow me one more chance. Please please. I'm so lost. Please please pray for me.

  2. Dont forget human being are PART of creation, so creation is EQUAL to human being. No creation, no human. Dont fool yourself on the way around. Respect creation as its yourself.

  3. I understand that creation was meant to serve us, but we were also meant to serve creation. When you lead, do you not serve? Isn’t a leader a servant, a protector, a caretaker. When you have dominion over your animals, do you mistreat them? No, I would expect to serve them, to feed them, to protect them, to love them. That is also service. Nature gives to us, we give to nature. And God is pleased.
