You might just be wrong about this earth being destroyed, and possibly other things?

Hey bro, only the world building on the tree of life there will be no end.

But our world building on the tree of death......there will be end of one day as death.

 

[MatthewG]

Well Matthew all of Scripture was not written specifically and exclusively to you so do you reject it all? but it is written to all of us to instruct us.

Why do I KNOW it will be burned up? Because God said it will be! Why does it need to be? god cursed the earth because of the fall of Adam and will recreate it free. of the curse..

Peter was speaking under teh inspiration of God to all people, not just the ones specified by Peter. He did not know that God was inspiring HIm for all time.

people ask me that alot, but i guess people can decide for themselves.

No! deciding for yourself is making yourself god and creating your own Scripture when the Bible speaks on a subject. You are not allowed to decide for yourself what something means. Do you do that with every other thing you read? Decide for yourself what the newspaper is saying? and if you do not agree with it, reinterpret what is written to make it more palatable to your flesh?

Many today hold the belief that caring for the world is futile—reasoning that since it will ultimately be destroyed, there is no value in stewarding it.

You are correct in that we should tend properly to our environment. Stewardship is a delightful task which can deliver immense satisfaction.

But we cannot conceive of the glory of what the Father has in store for us, it is beyond our wildest dreams. Just do your best now and don't worry about what you can't even know without the Father showing you, anyway. Fear is not a healthy motive for cleanliness and good maintenance.
