Do Americans Need to Eat Less Meat?

Well, the “climate change” they talk about is actually an anti-God religion that believes man can save himself and that he must save the planet. They have given the creation dominion over man instead of recognizing man’s God-given role of dominion over the creation.

Here are three verses of Scripture to ponder in response to this coming UN recommendation:

1. God gave man dominion over the earth.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

2. After the flood, God changed our diet so that we were given permission to eat meat.

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. (Genesis 9:3)

3. After the flood, God made a promise that clearly shows man cannot destroy the planet. God will do so at the end of time.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22)

Christians need to have a truly biblical worldview in regard to the environment and understand that we’ve been given dominion over the creation to use what God has made for man’s good and God’s glory.

The United Nations (in a wide variety of ways) promotes a secular, anti-Christian, anti-God worldview that destroys. Christians need to have a truly biblical worldview in regard to the environment and understand that we’ve been given dominion over the creation to use what God has made for man’s good and God’s glory. Man is to be a good steward of that dominion mandate—we are not to abuse creation but use it as God intended and instructed.

Unlike the UN, let’s make sure we’re starting with God’s Word and allowing our thinking to be shaped by Scripture.
