Life from death: God's gift of fossil fuels

Biden's foolish war on American energy

A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE:

Al Gore forewarns that the “greatest moral issue of our times is global warming.” Surely he knows that isn’t true. Nevertheless, his scare-mongering has made him very rich.

The world faces wars, rumors of wars, threats of nuclear attacks, violence in the streets, economic disasters, an epidemic of drug addiction, homelessness, sexual immorality, child sexual mutilation and Gore is freaked out about the earth warming 1 degree in a century. Get real.

Climate change is the religion to the environmental whackos. Nature is their god and they demand everyone sacrifice our reliance on fossil fuels to appease their god.

Romans 1:25 says that these people “exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…”

So what is the Biblical view of fossil fuels?

A fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing material such as coal, oil, and natural gas. It is formed in the Earth's crust from the remains of dead plants and animals when the hydrogen and oxygen are pressed out. The material that is left is extracted and burned as a fuel to produce electricity to power machines, cities, factories and homes…

Plants and animals are rarely buried underground. The only explanation for fossil fuel is the catastrophic worldwide flood detailed in the book of Genesis.

When God judged the earth with a flood thousands of years ago, it resulted in blessing us today with a plentiful and reliable energy source. Fossil fuel is credited with our technological advancements that have extended our life expectancy. Therefore, fossil fuel is a gift from God and we should use it.

Watch Alex Epstein’s video on fossil fuel being an essential part of modern life.

Now, believe it or not, global warming is mentioned in the Bible. But instead of it being caused by man, it will actually be caused by God.

The Bible says that during the Tribulation period, God will judge the inhabitants of earth with intense heat from the sun. Solar activity will make it unbearably hot and there is nothing humans can do to prevent it.

Revelation 16:8-9 says, “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not repent…”

In 2 Peter 3:7-10 it says that God will destroy the earth by fire on judgment day. Then he will make a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1).

So yeah, global warming is a threat but fossil fuels will not be the cause and green energy like windmills and solar panel farms will not prevent it from happening.

Christians who read the Bible are not concerned about global warming because the Bible says God is sovereign over His creation. Colossians 1:17 says, “He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” Therefore God controls the climate, not man. And those of us who trust in Jesus Christ have this reassurance:

“I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” (Matthew 28:20).

The wind mill blades cannot be recycled when they wear out. So they are buried in the ground. Explain to me how that is environmentally friendly. There are better alternatives.

This is a sketch

Americans are standing on top of all of the energy we will ever need in the form of natural gas, oil shale and coal. Natural gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels.

But America is facing a power shortage. The Biden administration declared war on American energy during the 2020 presidential election campaign. He promised, “We’ll end fossil fuels.” Bowing his knee to the green lobby, Biden is demanding car companies convert to electric and power companies to convert to wind and solar to meet America’s energy needs. Currently,

When he moved into the oval office, he shutdown construction of oil pipelines, banned offshore drilling and with his threat to end fossil fuels, oil companies decided not to waste their money on drilling new wells.

ENERGY SOLUTION: Drill, baby, drill. If we had a president who promoted the use of our natural resources, we could become energy independent very quickly. This would allow scientists the time to discover a more reliable, powerful and clean energy source. Government needs to get out of the way and let the market drive innovation instead of dictating what we can and can’t do as free people.
