Archbishop: God is not a safety net
We can't depend on God to save the world from the environmental depredations of humanity says Archbishop of Canterbury

Talk about the blind leading the blind. According to the British Times Online, "The Archbishop of Canterbury said this week that God cannot be trusted to save the world from the environmental depredations of humanity. Dr Rowan Williams did not say there was no God. But he said that God is not a “safety net that guarantees a happy ending in this world.”

He warned that the pillaging of the world’s resources meant it was facing a “whole range of doomsday prospects” that went far beyond the consequences of global warming. Humanity faced being “choked, drowned or starved” by its own stupidity, he said. What Williams is doing is "starving" British Christians (the relatively few left) from biblically based truth and "drowning" them all in a sea of humanist based (see last blog) folly, which drives extremist green, tree-hugging environmentalists to worship the creation instead of the creator (Ro. 1:21-23).

How does one explain the Archbishop's ignorance of the plain-teaching of the Bible on the inevitable future of the planet (responsbile stewardship notwithstanding) - being God's remodeling and restoration of earth as found in the apostle Peter's second epistle to the church, "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed (2 Pet. 3:10)." The only explanation of such biblical ignorance or confusion can only be found in spiritual blindness. More on that Sunday. Don't be one of the blind.
