The Religion of Global Warming 0:09 Well, we're looking at chapter 48 of the book, Reverse from Culturally Woke to Biblically Awake. Here we are in chapter 48 now, and it's titled The Religion of Global Warming.0:22 I mentioned to you, in 1 of the earliest videotapes that I'm indebted as I wrote this book. I'm indebted to a team of 14 or 15 or so people. They helped me so much. They helped think through. They helped strategize how0:34 to put it together. They helped write sections. They helped research sections. If they had been for this team of 14 or 15 people, and especially with Frank Kaser, who helped me in his process, his book went to come into0:45 existence. I could not have written it by myself. When I come to this particular chapter, the guy who helped me was David LeGates. Go to the back of the book and just read the qualifications of all the people who helped0:55 me. And this man is extremely qualified. He helped me put this together. And he's the 1 that that charged me with this idea, calling it the religion the religion of global warming. And he1:07 contended that it it is truly a religion. By that, it has its own teaching, its own beliefs, its own sacred objects, its own places, its own time, sacred times. All of this is a is a1:18 cult or a religion. He also raised the question you'll see, if you have your book with you, on the bottom of page 3 89. Is it science, or is it politics, or is it religion, or is it a combination of all1:30 3? The fact is it it it is all 3. But look on the bottom of page 3 90. Look at this. We already referred to, Paul Ehrlich's book, the,1:42 population explosion population bomb on in another video. But now we're gonna go further on that on his book as we talk about this particular chapter. He warned the coming1:54 population bomb where hundreds of millions of people would starve to death as a result of overpopulation and depleted resources. When this now catch this. When this didn't materialize,2:06 in other words, Paul Eric's claim that the population is gonna destroy the earth, destroy the planet. Everybody's gonna be starving. There's not enough food. When this did not materialize, a new cause celeb was2:17 needed to substantially reduce humankind's impact on the earth, and in particular, the environment. And they came up with a new 1, global warming or2:29 climate change as it's generally referred to now. And so now I'm gonna read, if you have it, the book 3 91, I want you to see what it says here. For true believers of global warming, there is a God. It's the2:41 planet. This turns the creator creature distinction on its head. The goal of creating a pristine earth not damaged by mankind's actions is to bring back Eden.2:54 Humans are no longer to be fruitful and multiply to subdue the earth and have dominion over every living thing. That's from Genesis 1 28. No. Humans are just evil producers3:05 and consumers, and their existence has signaled the ultimate demise of the planet. As doctor James Bonner, molecular biologist at Caltech proclaimed3:17 at the first Earth Day in 19 70, quote, the whole world would be better off if man hadn't been invented. There you have it right there.3:29 That's the essence of the religion of climate change or global warming. My good friend Peter Jones and I coauthored a book a number of years ago called Cracking Da Vinci's Code.3:41 And, Peter was 1 of the strongest I've ever heard to make the distinction, between the 1 ism and the 2 ism of our culture. 2 ism is what3:53 we believe. There is a God and there's a creation. God made the creation. That's 2 ism. There's 2 distinct different things. Monism or 1 ism is the belief that the4:05 creation is God. There is no God with a personality external that is creating things. The creation order itself is god. That's the4:17 theological nuance or foundation upon which this is established. Now if you have your book, I want you to read with me 3 92. Listen to what it4:28 says. Radical environmentalism parallels the gospel. Okay. Now catch this. Where there's a judgment is coming in which humans die as a result of their sin against nature. Remember,4:40 nature is God to them. Be it from mass starvation and or from hot house earth. That's that's quote that's that's that'd be the judgment of God in theology. The only way out thatInverted Theology and False Gospel 4:52 he's he's outlining the the the theology here, the theology of climate change. The only way out is to seek salvation. How? Not through Jesus Christ,5:04 but by sustainability, Not the love and grace afforded to us by Jesus Christ. Organic food replaces the Lord's supper, while Earth Day is5:16 revered as much as Easter. 5 year reports in the intergovernmental panel on climate change and the US national assessments become the new Bible.5:28 The planet, they said, is overpopulated. Well, in 18 20, how many people were on the earth? In 18 20, there were over 1000000000 on the earth,5:40 and 95 percent of them were living in poverty. 18 21000000000 people and 95 percent living in poverty. Where were we in 205:51 15? There was over 7000000000 people on the earth and only 10 percent of those were living in poverty. In fact, the number of people living in poverty has been6:03 decreasing ongoing. So why are they doing this? I once heard Don Hodel speak. Don Hodel was secretary of interior under Ronald Reagan.6:15 I believe he might have been secretary of energy at 1 point as well. And he says, let's let's cut to the chase. The whole global warming climate change phenomenon is about 1 thing. It's not about clean water, clean air,6:26 and clean land. We all want that. Who of us doesn't want clean water, clean air, and clean land? We all do. So why are they doing what they do? He said the answer is very simple. They wanna change how we do government.6:38 They want private property done away with. They wanna confiscate the land. They want to control everything we do. Now it is appropriate. There's a there's a certain kind of environmentalism, appropriate biblically6:50 grounded concern for the environment. We call that creation care. In my previous book that I wrote a number of years ago called Well Versed, I covered it, the steps. What's the steps of creation care? What's that7:02 mean to care for our creation and be good stewards that God has appointed us to be? I don't cover that in this 1 because I covered it in the previous 1. But we do have a desire to protect the planet.7:14 Why do we have a desire to protect the planet? Very simple. Because we worship God. We love God. And what did God do? He gave us this planet. This is a wonder When someone gives you a wonderful gift, you cherish that7:26 gift. You take care of that gift. We are stewards of that gift. We wanna honor the Lord. We'll be held accountable for in how we treat the land, the Earth. And so we love it. We care for it. We do not7:38 worship it. We worship him. And that helps us once we understand that to go from being culturally woke to biblically awake.7:48 Now let us pray. Heavenly father, we repent for following false religions, especially global warming that has put the worship of you and yourTrue Agenda and Biblical Creation Care 8:00 creation above your truth. Expose this deception, and the deception in all false religions.8:12 Bring us prosperity and biblically care for your people and land, father. We thank you for your help, for bringing us your truth, and8:23 delivering us from lies and deception. In Jesus' name, amen.8:30 We hope you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. Hey.
