Superman: Man has thought he has become powerful enough to destroy the world in his own time; man must become powerful enough to save it in his own eyes.

Several articles have appeared here chronicling the global warming hoax and the motivations for perpetuating that hoax. Many developments in the scandal have made the news lately, and the unraveling of the fraudulent science and associated conspiracies has been rapid fire.  The following link is provided here for a concise topical overview:

Copenhagen and “ClimateGate“

Churches continue their spiraling fall into apostasy by joining league with earth worshipers. Last Sunday, many across the world not only pledged to participate in Earth Day activities today, but have increasingly been sacrificing their Sunday worship services to Gaia to show their devotion. Billed as Ecumenical Earth Day, church goers at Christ the King Lutheran Church, Dalton, Ga., instructed their children in the art of making idols for the Earth Goddess; beginning their induction into the craft as young as three years of age.

While both the price and difficulty of fashioning gold no doubt figured in the church’s decision to opt for paper and plastic recyclables to fashion the sacrificial “pig,”¹ it may not be long before the congregation begins melting down their earrings and demands that the pastor cast for them a golden calf. Or will that be a golden globe?

Examining the roots of Environmentalism reveals a religious creed unlike any world view in the history of civilization. It departs from Christianity, humanism, and the philosophers (who gave us logic) by turning the pyramid of all things upside down and placing mankind at the bottom. Here, the lowest rung is not merely a poor showing on our part that can be improved upon with development. Mankind represents, for Environmentalists, the scourge and cancer on the earth that must be eradicated in order to redeem–the earth. In Adam Kirsch’s book review of American Earth, he shows that Environmentalism’s history points to a religious following that truly believes in, and desires to practice, human sacrifice to appease their goddess.

Baptists across the nation woke up a little groggy Monday after losing an hour of sleep to daylight saving time, and many may have missed the biggest betrayal their denomination has ever seen. At least, that’s what the leadership may have been banking on when they released their declaration that will live in infamy. In a stunning display of bowing to world opinion, global politics, and the earth goddess Gaia, the Southern Baptist Convention enrolled its 16 Million members into the Green Religion of earth worshiping environmentalism Monday with the stroke of a pen. Through the issuance of “A Southern Baptist Declaration on the Environment and Climate Change” they committed their members to the observances of this pagan religion, and obligated them for future performance of its sacraments.

The reason the SBC has thrown Christianity and the Bible to wind was explained in their declaration. “Our cautious response to these issues [global warming] in the face of mounting evidence may be seen by the world as uncaring, reckless and ill-informed,”¹ and the world’s good opinion of SBC, in the mind of their leaders, is now far more important to them then God’s. Yet, good information is not what the SBC is acting on.

What the SBC means by mounting evidence is not scientific evidence, but mounting hostility from the opposing Green religion. By this enjoinment of the largest Protestant church in America to the Green Evangelicals, SBC leaders, like signatory and SBC president Frank Page, hope to now curry the same world acceptance that Rich Cizik, director of National Association of Evangelicals, enjoys on the world stage for his tireless efforts at converting the millions in his organization to Gaia.

While the SBC minced words in their declaration to insure its members that they will not require partaking of the most sacred sacraments of Gaia worship, it is only a matter of time before the pressure of world opinion once again forces SBC leaders to succumb.

Indeed, their declaration itself uses anticipatory language which leaves open more compliance in the future to prove their allegiance. “We realize that simply affirming our God-given responsibility to care for the earth,” reads the text, “will likely produce no tangible or effective results.”² Further, they admit to knowing what tangibles the Greens value most as evidence for true conversion:

We realize that we cannot support some environmental issues as we offer a distinctively Christian voice in these arenas. For instance, we realize that what some call population control leads to evils like abortion. We now call on these environmentalists to reject these evils and accept the sanctity of every human person, both born and unborn.³

It’s a call that will be completely ignored. If the Greens had any inclination at all of heeding a Christian voice, they wouldn’t be ardently practicing this pagan religion which is a complete rejection of Christianity.

By not referring to murder as murder, the SBC has used a political maneuver to get their members through the door of their new sanctuary, but they will find themselves in hostile territory. Greens follow Gaia, they don’t follow Christ. They bow before the earth, they don’t bow before God. And they will not be the ones unequally yoked with non-believers. That would be the Christians, who are the enemies until they follow SBC’s example and repent of their faith and join the Greens.

The SBC leadership has moved its members into the Green sanctuary, and over time they will usher their members closer and closer to the Green alter where their unholy right of abortion must be taken. It is only a matter of time. They will soon become full-fledged earth worshipers demonstrating their reverence by both applauding and practicing the popular method of population control seen by Greens as essential to forestalling global warming. It won’t happen over night, but it will happen soon.

For now, the SBC has put its members on notice that they will be closely watched and monitored for the first stages of compliance. They will begin the conversion process by “increasing awareness in our homes, businesses where we find influence, relationships with others and in our local churches.”⁴ The whole network of local churches will experience Green conformity campaigns from the pulpit, and small groups will be mobilized, and accountability partners will be assigned to monitor home life. If there is one positive outcome to this new chapter in the apostasy, it will be this: the actual spiritual health of the SBC might be fairly measured by the number of members who secede from the organization in the following months.
