The Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) is one of the most liberal of the Protestant denominations. It seems the UCA will promote almost anything that is politically leftist rather than preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. For instance the UCA called for its members to strike in September, 2019 for the Climate scam that is being pushed upon the world. 

The UCA also had three goals to achieve in this protest.

First, there is no way (at least at this time or by 2030) any nation can exist on 100% renewable energy. When the sun shines solar panels work and when the wind blows wind turbines work. But what about the night time or cloudy days when the sun doesn’t shine or those many days when the wind doesn’t blow?

Secondly, coal, oil and gas have served mankind well in bringing nations from the industrial revolution to this place in history where we are now. There is an abundance of food and enough energy to travel, heat and cool our homes and businesses and hundreds if not thousands of other ways in which coal, gas and oil have benefited society.

The UCA is promoting the Climate Change scam because it either doesn’t believe or doesn’t understand the Bible.

In Genesis 1:28 -31 God told Adam and Eve to ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish (in 1611 this meant to fill) the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.’

After the flood God told Noah and his sons  to ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish (in 1611 this word meant fill) the earth.’ The earth was for man to use for his own benefit before and after the flood. There were many results from the worldwide flood and one result was coal! Yes, man should use what God provided before and after the flood in a responsible way but it is there to be used! Man has learned to use coal and the other resources in such a way that is very beneficial for the earth and mankind.

However, why did God leave those that know Him on this earth after the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven? It certainly wasn’t to protest supposed Climate Change! Matthew 28: 18-20 gives what has become known as the Great Commission for God’s people. Here we read ‘And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.’

In Acts 1:8 we are told that the Lord said to His disciples before ascending into heaven that ‘…ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.’

Paul told Timothy in his second letter to ‘Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.’ The Lord’s churches are to be PREACHING the Word rather than protesting for a climate scam. Those in the UCA ought to consider whether they are one of the Lord’s churches or not.

In Genesis not only do we read that God created but man rebelled. Man is NOW a sinner in need of a Saviour. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God in the flesh, is that Saviour. Paul explains that ‘God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us’ Romans 5:8. This is what God did for us through His Son.

This is what man MUST do. Again quoting the Apostle Paul in Romans 10:9 ‘That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.’ Thou is singular and salvation is personal. Each individual MUST by faith believe on Christ for his or her self.

The SINGLE GREATEST THREAT‘ to people is NOT the scam of climate change BUT to neglect the salvation offered by God through His Son, Jesus Christ. As Peter preached in Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Christian preachers and the Lord’s churches ought to be preaching the Gospel rather than protesting supposed climate change for ‘…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God’ Romans 10:17.

Acts 16:31 ‘…Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.’

Oh, by the way, a real climate change is coming but it will be after the Lord comes in the air for His people. Revelation 16:8-11 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
