Whatever the cost, it is bound to be less than altering the Earth's climate and rendering much of its land mass unproductive and uninhabitable, not to mention the increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Best wishes, 2RM.

I do wish people would stop eliding paedophilia with homosexuality. They are quite distinct forms of sexual behaviour. However it is a tactic used by the gay-haters brigade to discredit any form of sexuality that doesn't fit their simplistic, binary world view. The fact is, there are gay men who...

There are plenty of things in the world that are unnatural, but our sexualities aren't among them. Best wishes, 2RM

Who says the main purpose of sex is to reproduce? Maybe it's just to enhance relationships. Children need stability, and life is a lot easier with two adullts working in concert than it is with one single. Maybe the purpose of sex is not only to produce babies and children, but as a way to...

Hi Mary. Respects to you, also. However, a few years of colder winters than normal does not an Ice Age make. And it's not a case of 'believing in climate change' the way some people still believe in a flat earth, despite the evidence to the contrary. It is more a case of being persuaded by some...

CO2 is a 'green house gas'. I don't see anything controversial about this. Best wishes, 2RM.

Don't be silly. I'm not going to read all of scripture, and then try to guess which verses you think are relevant to your argument. If you have a point to make you make it. Don't expect me to. Best wishes, 2RM.

Your conjecture was that, if we love our fellow man, God would put us last among His considerations. Niether of the scriptures you have posted address any such point. Best wishes, 2RM.

Well given the semi-politised nature of the discussion thus far, I have decided not to offer my idea for your consideration. If you can't even recognise the threat of Climate Change, there would seem to be no point. I shall be dead soon, but some of you, I hope, will live a good deal longer than...

I'm not against praying for forgiveness. But to dismiss climate change as junk science shows an extraordinary degree of ignoranace. I think you may have been watching too much Fox News. Best wishes, 2RM.

The domestic fridge is an impossibility, then? Best wishes, 2RM.

Read the context! Jesus was talking to a specific audience (His disciples) at a specific time time and place. And He was quite right; His disciples always would have the poor with them. But for the first time in history, we have the resources to end that. If we choose to do so. Best wishes, 2RM.

I am not too worried about the elites of this world. They have a proven capacity to look after themselves. and move from property to property as necessary. It is the poor of say, coastal Bangladesh, or the Pacific island states that arouse my concern. Best wishes, 2rm

Hmmm. Well, I guess because God is not destroying the Earth. We are. God may have the right to bring about the end of His creation, but I very much doubt that we do. Our job is simply to act as good stewards of it, for the benefit of our children and theirs. This is not a duty, it seems to me...

Citation, please, supporting this conjecture. Book, chapter and verse(s). Best wishes, 2RM.

I do not believe there is any such teaching in the NT. But I may be wrong. A suitable citation would, I agree, resolve the matter once and for all. Best wishes, 2RM.

Why is it so hard for people to realise that God loves us all, saints and sinners alike? Our love may be partial and partisan, but God's is not. All He asks of us is that we should love Him, and love each other. Even should we not manage Jesus' two great commandments, there is nothing in the...

Many scientists think we are now entering a new era of life on Earth. There is even a name for this new era - the anthropocene. The point that distingishes it from all preceeding eras is that humanity has a major impact on climate and weather, not of course as individuals, but certainly in...

No, I don't think you have misunderstood, at all. I would just remind you that in the poorer parts of the world there is no welfare state, and precious little charity, and therefore if your children don't look out for you, or if you have none, your outlook is bleak. As for being selfish, well...

I dare say. Meanwhile, it would be remiss of us not to do what we can to help ourselves. Best wishes, 2RM.
