    Does man have dominion over the earth or has god made this made this mess. i say man did that.
  • Rachel Goodkind - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 1 year ago
    The word "Dominion" is in regards to stewardship, caretaking, honoring. The word has been misused by many

    to imply that humans can do anything we want with abandon. I agree with you, we have created the mess of

    the pristine world we were gifted. We have befouled the trust the animals placed in us as caretakers of them

    by slitting their throats, spilling their blood, and eating them. And, we have disrespected the environment in

    multiple ways via the pollution in the process of killing 70 billion animals a year, polluting the air, soil and water as well.

    I made a conscious choice over twenty years ago to honor God and the animals by not eating them. I am an ethical vegan.

    Peace be with you.

    Let us not forget Satan. It is likely that there was a period of time between the fall and his appearance in Eden after enticing 1/3 of the angels to follow him in rebellion that some sort of Kingdom in the spiritual dimension was established; at least in the heavenlies. Some explain this as the "gap" theory between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2 as indicating that time (also mentioned in Zechariah someplace in referral to other events).

    In any event; Satan always has been a control freak; hence he is the god of this world. In Reveleation; in fact ALL whose names are not written in the Book of Life are going to follow Antichrist. So; in a sense after Lucifer fell he was the original one to sin; and we shouldn't neglect his punishment along with man in Genesis. God has divinely held him back just enough from destruction of the earth; he nearly succeeded (short of Noah and his immediate family) in corrupting the seed of men; he nearly succeeded in destroying ALL male children in Israel except for Jesus during his early years; he nearly caused an annihalation of the entire 120 provinces from India to Etheopia of all Jews in Persia; he nearly wiped out the European Jews in WW2; and in the future 2/3 of israel is destroyed in the time of Jacob's trouble. He causes much of the power and seduction of sin; and men are merely puppets; sold out due to their sinful state so that he is given legal access to mess with their souls. God; however is in charge ultimately of the souls of men; as to their eternal state. Therefore; God wins.

    Once the Millenium arrives; the art of war will be known no more; and men will turn swords into plowshears ( Micah 4:3; etal).

    The whole word was filled with violence at the time of the Nephilim before the flood; and it is as the times of Noah and Sodom today. The lawless one in such a society today will be welcomed; even to those "religious" people who put patriotism and other human virtues above God.

    What God created, He called it GOOD. Creation and man. Man LOST his dominion when he and Eve ate of the Tree. Satan stole the dominion. He wrecked humanity and earth, until Jesus was crucified for the sins of all mankind. Dominion was given back to ALL humanity. It's for managing our lives, the earth, the animals, and

    administering justice when we break laws on the books. Traffic tickets can be disputed in traffic court. There is no need to run and be shot, etc. We can live by appearing in Civil Court with a low cost Legal Aid attorney, and state our case before a judge. God has ordained judges and courts to PROTECT the citizens. Yes there are scriptures for that in the Bible. "Obey those that have rule over you, and watch over your souls." When we just go along with the system, it can come out in our favor. Repent when we know in our hearts (SOUL) we are wrong. Then God will help us.

    Our nation is operating on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok justice; which is mob rule. It causes CHAOS and people get inflamed and inflame others, and think mob rule is "legal"?

    God gave TEN COMMANDMENTS, to help us have focus on what's right and what's wrong. Society is trying to kick out and tear down those commandments, but those rules were SET IN STONE.

    If the majority of people think this way, and riot, burn down stuff, legislate it out__they will go through the Great Tribulation that will come down from Heaven. Many will be killed by the Antichrist because they will refuse to be injected with His Mark.

    Things might get better if instead of mobs and riots, we re-register with the red party and let the House in DC know, "WE THE PEOPLE" say no more price inflation, and no more shutting down our own oil supply. FUND the baby food companies to start producing again! Quit spending money on Kerry's dream of a GREEN EARTH.

    The Green Deal IS THE ONE WORLD RELIGION. Vote it out and don't support it.

    Let's really start praying for God to be part of our nation!

    Dear BILL WHITTINGHILL, in peace, yes it was a mistake, if u read further u will find that God Himself regret that He made human.

    Genesis 6:6 And today we are the chosen one too set thing in order. Example 1 Peter 2:6 John 14:6 Make ppl see Jesus Christ only in Him thru The Holy Goust can we see God. Many see a different God today, but are driven away, becouse of the eval who is in them and the eval in the spiritual world, who every one not see. Ephesians 6:12-19 W e all need to come thru in Jesus.

    I know nice ppl who have going too church for 40 years and they have the holy spirit in one way, but are bounded in television and work. I belive that God have a place for them. What i try to tell is: Not everybody sees the Spirit of the Holy. And remember we have all different work in the Lord. 1 Corintihans 12 And in that the eval can grow if they dont stop it by a gift they have. A friend may se it and pray to stop it.

    Galatians 6:2

    Thats why Paul continue to tell us, dont give up! We must be standfast in the Word of God and dont complane. And Love Jesus and all ppl, and rases.

    God bless us all in Jesus name, love u in Christ
