Re: What would Jesus do to the planet?

There doesn’t even seem to be any internal consistency in MacArthur’s position. First he says we have a responsibility to care for the environment, and gives us several examples, demonstrating that God advocated this sort of thing. Then he makes a distinction between caring for the environment and environmentalism - saying its wrong to try and make the earth last forever.

Even if one believes there is an expiration date on the earth - there would be no telling how long humanity would have to live here with the consequences of its actions. I don’t know how John takes care of his things, but whenever I have something nice, I try and make it last forever - understanding full well that this may not be in my power.

And his comment to environmentalists “- just wait till you see what Jesus does with it”. Seem rather brutish, and unaware of the delight God has for creation and that he claims to have himself.
