Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
‘Our sun, though remarkably stable as stars go, follows an eleven‑year cycle of activity. Every eleven years the sun’s surface is torn by solar storms. These storms can send a hot blast of particles at the earth at a million miles per hour. When they hit the Earth, these particles can disrupt radio communications and electrical systems. During this peak, the sun’s magnetic field is at its strongest.
Five and one-half years later, the sun is relatively quiet. During this quiet period, the sun’s magnetic field is at its weakest. As a result, the sun’s atmosphere develops leaky holes. These openings, called coronal holes, eject protons and electrons into space at two million miles per hour. Now two climatologists have collected data that indicate that during this quiet period, the sun may actively cool the Earth. They studied 20 years of temperature data from weather satellites and found that the Earth’s temperature average was lowest when the sun had the most and largest coronal holes. In 1995, the sun’s surface was covered with coronal holes and the Earth’s lower atmosphere averaged two degrees cooler than when the sun was most active. They theorized that some of the particles ejected from the sun enter the atmosphere and serve as nuclei for water droplets, increasing cloud formation and cooling the lower atmosphere.
While we have much to learn about the sun, we can thank a loving Creator for giving us a uniquely stable sun that supports life.’ https://www.creationmoments.com/sermons/can-the-sun-cool-the-earth-3/?mc_cid=7238969cad&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c
Psalm 113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Watch the problems these women will have in the future. This is not normal behavior whether one is ‘religious’ or not! This says a lot about society and the nation in which they live.
The other day THE LAND carried an article by the Very Reverend Dr Peter Catt. Here it is in a very abbreviated form. 
‘When it comes to climate change, religious leaders of all faiths are increasingly of one mind.’
‘Now, a multi-faith campaign to stop new coal mining, run by the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC) is gathering momentum. It includes Indigenous, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish and Christian leaders from all around Australia. They are speaking with one voice about taking urgent, emergency action on climate change. This is much more than a political or even a scientific issue. It is a profoundly moral one.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says global coal use must drop by at least 59 per cent in the next 12 years if we are to avoid catastrophe.’ https://www.theland.com.au/story/5789102/climate-change-is-indeed-a-moral-problem/?src=rss&utm_email=1ec342a17f&utm_source=The+Land+Newsletters&utm_campaign=e9286c4b32-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ade9099b1a-e9286c4b32-1145686
Is Climate Change a religion? It would seem that it is. Knowing there would be false gospels Paul said even if ‘…an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.’
It was a surprise to read the good Reverend saying “When it comes to climate change, religious leaders of all faiths are increasingly of one mind.” Wow! He assuredly cannot say that concerning the Christian faith of which he claims to be a practitioner of.
The Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC) was something new to these ears but with a little search, it’s Internet presence was found https://www.progressivechristians.org.au/. At their website, they have a page where they may be contacted. This I did by quoting Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
ARRCC’s chair replied:
‘Dear David
I received your message via the contact system, thank you. Genesis 8: 22 is reassuring. I agree that the earth will remain, but ARRCC is quite concerned that humanity’s greed and carelessness means we may be facing the end of times for our own species and we will take many other species with us. It’s happening already. There are plenty of other readings which align with the experience of waters rising, species extinctions, more wild fires, etc and these are linked in the Bible to human sin.
Hosea 4:3 …’Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.’
Luke 21:25-26 …’and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.’
Our hope is in the many millions of people around the world who want to prevent environmental destruction from happening or who, as believers, also want to restore God’s rule on earth. We do our best to be among those people. Want to be among those who are trying to save humanity from itself?
Kind regards’
My Reply:
‘Dear Thea,
Thank you for such a quick reply. I am amazed you used the Bible to promote your cause for those passages quoted have nothing to do with climate change! Here, are some observations concerning the passages quoted.
1. Hosea 4 speaks of God’s dealing with Israel and their sins. Hosea is showing Israel what the grounds were for God’s contention with them, (Hosea 4:1,2) speaks of a general prevalence of vice and profaneness in the land, and (Hosea 4: 3) is the consequence of this contention God has with Israel. This has NOTHING to do with climate change. However, God will someday judge this world because of people’s reluctance to repent of their sins and acknowledge Him as God; Revelation 6: 9-17; 16:9-16.
2. Luke 21: 25-26 also has absolutely NOTHING to do with climate change. Luke 21:25 follows verse 24 which speaks of when the times of the Gentiles ‘be fulfilled.’ When they are then ‘there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring’.
Luke 21:26 speaks of these signs shaking men to their very heart.
Then in Luke 21:27 there will be seen the Son of man (the Lord Jesus Christ) ‘coming in a cloud with power and great glory.’ All of this future judgment is of God on men for their forsaking His Son the Lord Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection as (1) payment for their sins, and as (2) their personal Saviour from the penalty of their sins.
However, we MUST take notice that there will come a tumultuous time of political, religious, and climatic change to this world and those days are explained in Revelation 8, 9, 11-20. It MUST be also noted that the climatic changes that will be coming upon this earth are brought about by man’s rebellion against God! All the solar and wind turbines will NOT keep this world from the impending judgment of God! For, as the Lord Jesus said to the religious of His day ‘except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish’ and the same holds true today.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Looking for that Blessed Hope,
David Bennett’
So far no reply but from my perspective, these religious folk at the ARRCC are similar to those to whom the Lord spoke in Mattew 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Those at the ARRCC and their so-called concern for the environment hit a chord with many in today’s society but their singing is off key as far as the Word of God is concerned. Those who know the Lord as personal Saviour are ‘…to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.’
However, ‘…the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness…’ After reading much of what is contained on the ARRCC website those associated with ARRCC seem to be an embodiment of that last verse!
The lunacy of the climate change folk would be laughable if it was not so scary. These worshipers of Mother Earth are determined to take Western civilization back two hundred years. Who knows if they will be content then!
‘Modern society depends on always available power. If power goes down then society stops. There are no phones, no internet, no ATMs, no refrigeration, no sewage pumps – nothing, and if a large city like London is without power for more than 12 hours rioting and looting would quickly take hold. It is therefore inconceivable not to ensure that we have reliable energy at all times. So an energy plan for the UK must be able to meet demand even on the coldest evening of the year in winter with no wind and no solar. For this reason, Renewable energy can never under any realistic scenario meet that target. To imagine that battery prices could fall enough to make wind and solar backup such enormous power demands is simply a delusion.
Renewables are very low density and for significant energy supply require vast areas of
land. Solar energy is unsuitable for the UK because during winter output is 9 times lower than summer. Since we have to find a reliable zero-carbon solution for the winter, it makes no sense to switch it off in the summer just because we like renewables.’ http://clivebest.com/blog/?p=7120

Dr. Robinson has a very interesting life story. He has written several Books: The Fighting Chance, Molecular Clocks: Deamidation of Asparaginyl and Glutaminyl Residues in Peptides and Proteins.
If you have ever considered homeschooling this video is worth your time.
The Quran is leading people to hell for it is a false gospel. Islam denies the Father and the Son along with denying the fact that Jesus literally died. If Jesus did not literally die and arise from the grave three days later we are of all men most miserable. However, as Paul said But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dr. Tatagiri Gurappa grew up in an extremely poor Hindu family from the untouchable caste in Southern India. When a nephew dies with no medical care, he hopes to become a doctor to the poor but has no means to do so. He attends a Christian school in his village, earns excellent marks and wins a scholarship to college. He comes to faith in Jesus Christ through a sister and brother-in-law and eventually becomes a doctor and serves the poorest of the poor.
Huck was a Tennessee boy who nobody loved. He was moved from place to place as a lad but when he was old enough he joined the Marines. His life in the Marines was not what he would have liked but he at least received an honorable discharge. Through various circumstances, he meets the Lord Jesus Christ, marries and attends Bible College. He never ‘feels’ called to be a ‘preacher’ but he and his wife are used of the Lord to help many young people who found themselves in similar situations as Huck did to come to faith in Christ.
Ask those Muslims who live in your present-day democratic nation if they accept what is occurring in Pakistan regarding Asia Bibi? Their answer will tell you a lot concerning the Religion of Peace and the future of democratic nations that overlook this fact!
‘The lawyer representing a Pakistani Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy after almost eight years on death row, has fled the country in fear for his life, an associate told CNN on Sunday.’ https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/04/asia/asia-bibi-lawyer-flees-pakistan-intl/index.html
