Brillaint piece! The ābad/šāmar distinction really reframes the whole dominion thing - never thought about how buying cheap disposable stuff is actualy shirking the stewardship mandate. I dunno about others, but learning to repair my own leather shoes completely changed my relationship with the things I own, made me realize how much skill our grandparents had that we've just offloaded to manufacturers. The locust metaphor throughout was perfect, especially the flaming clothes mountains in Chile.
Thanks for the compliments! Good on you for learning to repair your own shoes; that’s a lot more than most people will do.
You’re right to point out the link between familiarity with the things we own and appreciation for the skills our grandparents needed to upkeep them. Like a lot of things, you only fully apply something once you know firsthand the effort that goes into it.
Very interesting but flawed article. You keep quoting scripture but keep emphasizing everything but GOD. "I am the Lord Your God...there is no other". THIS INCLUDES EARTH WORSHIP. Put God first in your Life and in all that you do Modernist.
I'm going to disagree with your interpretation of this article. You seem to have been to busy criticizing the work to comprehend the spirt of the work. It was about stewardship. God's sacred trust. There is nothing modern about it. It is as ancient as the Word itself.
I would agree that is what it means ans good stewardship is what God wants. I am just reminding everyone the Modernist problem is excluding God and remembering this life is about getting to heaven not blessing pieces of an iceburg. Globalist Ecowarrior mentality is a modernist and human centric error. Steward the land as God desires us to, just dont make an Idol out if it like Francis did.
