And God created oil.

But why , what's it's actual purpose and function for being there..?
I could be wrong but I find it hard to believe that God put it there for us to drive cars and pollute the atmosphere , but then again , who knows...

I believe that wicked humans saw an opportunity to make a fortune out of what they took out of the earth for free.....God did put a lot of things in the ground for a reason....the oil, I believe was to lubricate the plates so that earthquakes would not occur so frequently....look at the number of earthquakes earth-wide and see the increase in the number of earthquakes in era of the automobile....

Greedy humans are robbing the earth to make themselves rich, with no thought of how much they are ruining it for everyone.

God knows, and he tells us in Rev 11:18....about what he is going to do to address the problem at its source...in these end times the apostle John tells us how God will fix everything that is wrong....

“But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time came for the dead to be judged and to reward your slaves the prophets and the holy ones and those fearing your name, the small and the great, and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.”

Oil giants are the producers of plastic products which is burying the world in plastic waste....and taking no responsibility for it...

How can human beings treat the earth so shamefully? Pure greed.

The Lord formed chemistry of the crust of the earth for our own good...

6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. - Deuteronomy 8

WW3 will start because of it.
And many are rejoicing about what is happening right now at this moment near Iran.
They are itching to fly at it.
The rejoicing will stop when the bodybags are coming home.
Next after oil will be WATER, fighting wars over water, mark my words.
It's getting close to the end.

But hey! There is a (fake)man of peace on the earth and many "Christians" are worshipping him.

Most of the 'oil', 'coal', 'gas' was created through the catastrophic flood in the days, and after days, of Noah, by buried trees, creature life, mankind, &c. It is primarily there (reserved) for the fire at the end of the 1000 years (Rev. 20), to be used as fuel in the second great flood (of fire, global lake / sea):

Deu_32:22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.​

The fires are already burning now in small amounts (volcanic, earthquake, turbidities), but in Rev. 20, those various fuel pockets shall be called upon by God to all ignite, and fill the whole earth with fire.

Satan seeks to utilize those deposits now (through various business enterprises), so that there is less fuel in the time to come for him to burn up, but there is so much of those resources he cannot use all of it, and so has switched tactics.

God also allows some of those things to be used as fuel, to show mankind the evidence of the flood still exists all over the globe and what will happen to the finally impenitent in the fire to come, just as it was in the days of Noe.

Hopefully that helps you.

 

[HealthyShape]

If we wanted to ask such question, then the answer should obviously be "for what it is already used for". Or else God would not be able to predict the future, right?

That means the purpose of coal, oil, ore and similar has been to create an advanced human civilization and in the end also globalization.

However, things can have multiple purposes, of course, not just one. It can even change in time.

Most of the benefits are in the earths crust... In which is just a tiny part of the whole planet. Without the benefits placed within the crust there is no possibility of life on planet earth. Or for any other planet for that matter.

(Crude) oil is of organic origin. That means it is from life, not a necessity for life.

..God did put a lot of things in the ground for a reason....the oil, I believe was to lubricate the plates so that earthquakes would not occur so frequently....look at the number of earthquakes earth-wide and see the increase in the number of earthquakes in era of the automobile....

That's a very interesting theory Jane , one which I hadn't even thought of , thanks.

I know. We all know. God gave us dominion over the Earth. Like all things in this world, oil is there for us to use as we see fit.

I believe that wicked humans saw an opportunity to make a fortune out of what they took out of the earth for free

Free? So what? A gift from God. Oil is the lowest cost, most abundant energy source in God‘s green Earth, responsible for improving the quality of life for more people than any other industry. It fuels the economic engine of the world. Most electricity is generated from coal.

Alternative energy sources are far worse for the environment, more expensive and less accessible to the people of the world.

WW3 will start because of it.

What would you prefer be the cause of WWIII?

“Improving the quality of life”...but at what cost to the environment and all life on this planet? Humans did without electricity and motor vehicles for most of their time on this earth....and can’t we be thankful for that.....otherwise the living souls on earth today may never have had a chance to exist.

If the “fueling” of “the economic engine of the world” results in pollution that threatens both human and animal life, is that what you believe God gave us permission to do? Were we not supposed to respect God’s creation?
I can’t believe you said that....

Alternative energy sources are far worse for the environment, more expensive and less accessible to the people of the world.

I agree to a point.....unfortunately the powers that be, have made the western world completely dependent upon the services they provide. Hand in hand, the money moguls have manipulated the system on the auspices of making life more convenient, but very expensive.....creating a way to control everything that sustains life on this planet....everything that we depend on for life, is now polluted to an extent where no one knows how this will affect future generations.

Plastics....a product of the petroleum industry, are so invasive in our lives that we are not only seeing plastic pollution externally messing up the planet, but nano plastic particles are now polluting us internally....and plastic pollution is killing animals and marine creatures.
These particles are being found in places in the human body where they were never supposed to be.....God knows what the result will be. Any wonder Jesus said that “unless the days were cut short, no flesh would be saved”.....he was talking about our day. (Matt 24:22) How many ways can people die these days?

 

[Wrangler]

“Improving the quality of life”...but at what cost to the environment and all life on this planet?

What is wrong with you? Improvement is at a lower cost than the alternative.

Countries that don't use oil much have people burning wood that is much more harmful to their health and they have a life expectancy half of those countries that do. See Nirvana Fallacy.

 

[Wrangler]

If the “fueling” of “the economic engine of the world” results in pollution

The richest countries, who use oil, have the lowest pollution. The world was made for us, not us for the world.

Not using oil is far worse for the environment. Here is a pic of lithium mining, needed for car batteries.

Were we not supposed to respect God’s creation?
I can’t believe you said that....

Not sure what kind of brainwashing you've received to equate using oil with not respecting God's creation.

 

[Rockerduck]

God gave us the oil to refine for gas. The gospel spread because of it. Billy Graham traveled all over the world and spread the gospel. There would be no air travel, and you'd be stuck on a ship with sails and 4 months at sea to travel to another country. Food would be scarce by wagons deliveries. So, oil is a blessing for many reasons. Daniel 12:4 - But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

 

[shepherdsword]

God did put a lot of things in the ground for a reason....the oil, I believe was to lubricate the plates so that earthquakes would not occur so frequently....look at the number of earthquakes earth-wide and see the increase in the number of earthquakes in era of the automobile....

Tectonic plates are tens to hundreds of kilometers thick and thousands of kilometers across. Oil reservoirs exist only in the uppermost crust, typically 1–5 km deep, trapped in porous rock so there is no way they can lubricate the plates.

You are seeing things so superficially.....promoting the very things that will make life extinct on this planet if we don’t wake up to what the devil is doing here....what is his aim? He knows where he is going, but he will take as many down with him as he can. (Rev 12:7-12)

It’s so much easier if he can fool those who don’t see his agenda for what it really is....leading them with the ‘ring’ of convenience and material prosperity in their collective ‘noses’.

Recall that Jesus said that the majority are travelling the easy road, but that the ones on it, many of whom are travelling in their expensive, but heavily polluting vehicles, have no idea where it is leading them. (Matt 7:13-14;21-23)

Countries that don't use oil much have people burning wood that is much more harmful to their health and they have a life expectancy half of those countries that do. See Nirvana Fallacy.

This leaves out the big picture altogether....the very reason why God has allowed satan to rule the world....(Luke 4:5-7)
All you see is what you want to see....you seem to have no idea about why it’s happening and who is running this show. (1 John 5:19)

“See Nirvana Fallacy”.....what about the fallacy that you are falling for?
Justification only works in the mind of the one who wants things that provides the means to live in prosperity and convenience. Whatever promotes a materially prosperous lifestyle seems to work for you, regardless of the real cost...

God is giving us a wake up call in these last days...identify who is ruling the world...seeing his agenda and to trying our best to stop supporting it in any ways that make a difference.
Stop promoting the people who can’t change anything about the future that the Bible foretells...stop using plastics...stop using gas guzzling vehicles. Hybrids don’t need electrical charging and use very little gas.

We cannot stop what satan is doing to our planet...only God can do that....but we can make small changes that collectively contribute to less of the pollution of it. Isn’t that trying to be “no part of the world” that satan is ruling? (John 17:16) Isn’t the devil the one promoting the convenience and prosperity that many are trying to attain?
Who are the richest people on earth? Oil barons....the makers of all things that pollute the earth....

Why did Jesus tell us that rich people will have great difficulty gaining a place in his Kingdom? Was the Son of God born in a rich family? Do you understand why?

Ask chatgpt what creates oil, and why it should be left in the earth, not burnt to pollute it? It will give you an interesting answer, just based on facts.

 

[Wrangler]

You are seeing things so superficially

Practical is not superficial. Halving life expectancy is not superficial.

 

[Wrangler]

This shows how effective indoctrination is. Using oil = Planet wide extinction. How superficial!

 

[Wrangler]

No. Let’s stick to the Nirvana Fallacy you’re falling for.

So, oil is a blessing for many reasons.

Oh dear.....do you understand that the devil has created a world of dependency? All of the things that God created to sustain life were free.....we were to work with our own hands to sustain our lives, using all the things God provided to do so....but under satan’s rulership, we have lost the ability to do that...and now we are slaves to those who control those things.....food delivery systems are only necessary if we do not grow our own food....the seeds of which were a guarantee of a perpetual supply. God did not create huge and greedy corporations to milk us of our income because of our need to eat. Humans did that.

Transportation by road, rail or air today, comes at a cost, materially, and with each one contributing to the pollution of our atmosphere where God designed trees to take in what we breathe out.....a perfect system, self-perpetuating. He did not design the atmosphere to absorb unnatural pollution. Man made again.

As for the transportation of the Billy Graham’s of Christendom’s churches.....who said such ones needed today’s means of transportation?
Wasn’t Christianity to be preached at the local level? All Christians were given the assignment to preach....but in order to reach other nations some were assigned to travel.
When people spent weeks at sea in sail boats to reach their destination in Bible times, did they have any expectation to reach it sooner? Do sail boats pollute the atmosphere?
The invention of machinery that ran on fossil fuels, was the beginning of the end.....it may have revolutionised how humans conducted their business and increased their profits...but at what cost to the environment?...and at the expense his human self sufficiency. A price that was lost in the landslide that followed.

When humans designed things, as the industrial revolution changed the way man lived on this planet, did they originally take into consideration that the machinery they designed to make life easier, would be harmful to the environment? Or were they made aware of it over time as the evidence accumulated? Once they knew, weren’t they under obligation to do something about it? What did they do that made any real difference, when money was to be made by ignoring it? Did pretending it wasn’t there, make it go away?

Daniel 12:4 - But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”

The “knowledge” we have today leaves us with no excuse to promote what is detrimental to the earth, to its inhabitants, and that has only greed for profit at its base. Look at what is happening around the world? Once prosperous nations like the USA (and many other nations, my own included) are showing the decline in quality of life, with the rich exploiting the poor and forcing people who could once maintain a moderate, middle class lifestyle, who are now forced to live in their cars, or to be part of an ugly tent city.

Those who promote the greed of this world have fallen right into satan’s trap.....and they will protest loudly to maintain their lifestyle and to promote the lie that the end justifies the means. As @Wrangler is doing right now.
Tell it to the Creator who knows the ones who are mindful of his creation and want to respect it, rather than those who ignore the consequences to enjoy the lifestyle.....one that is sadly disappearing for the now homeless ones who thought that this could never happen to them.
