You might say that if you do not believe in an all-powerful God, you begin to believe in an all-powerful mankind. That strikes me as a form of idolatry.

We know from Saint Peter’s writings that God’s plan for the earth is a “heat event” in which the elements will melt. We are called to be good stewards of creation. But…

Are radical environmentalists therefore opposing God?

Humans don’t have now, and will never have, the capability of purposely or accidentally creating a heat event that destroys the entire universe.

In addition, we don’t have now, and will never have the capability of preventing a heat event that destroys the entire universe.

Nothing new here? … means about nothing…

Current Wars and Nuclear Threats are on the increase… which smell of a Biblical-like War, eh?

Loss of Faith, AntiChrist, Jesus’ Return, Judgement… Shall occur.

MeanWhile, It’s our Lord Jesus’ Forewarning … which therefore shall be recognized by some…
Different weapons but wars were happening long before Jesus walked the earth and will continue forever. Man will always fight man.
No more natural disasters than historically. It is simply that technology allows them to be reported.
Nothing happening now that has not been happening for thousands of years.

The fact that warring had a start is… stating the obvious… 😃

Forever? Wow! 😃

Has naught to do with either the OP nor this:

Like I said. Nothing happening now with wars or natural disasters that has not been taking place throughout history.

Not so fast…

What is changing in an explosive (pun intended) manner is the Quantitative Parameter of War

Number 2

Some Natural Disasters have been and can be - extremely detrimental to LIFE.

Yes… .Jesus Messiah of all … is Returning

Anything Else?

Nothing you have said is different.

Yes Jesus is coming but we don’t know when and he told us not to look for signs but to always be ready!!

NO… …

And both He and the Church have given us Signs to Look out for…

ALONG with being Ready Today

Always be ready means always be ready. The Church has not given signs to look for.
Jesus was very explicit. Do not look for signs.

You’re mistaking when - regarding FAITH -
it was said that “Greeks look for Wisdom” and “Jews Look for Signs”

That said. Jesus and the Church have indeed spoken of SIGNS to look for wrt the End…

Are you ready to see some of them? 🙂

I repeat that Jesus told us not to look for signs but to ALWAYS BE READY.

Nothing is happening now that has not happened historically.
 
I admit ignorance and am open to sensible ideas. Lately (it seems to come in waves, starting with Al Gore) we have heard so much about climate change and how mankind is destroying the earth. However, we did have an ice age at one time, when none of us were around (perhaps dinosaurs had too much of a gas problem?). There are several passages in the Bible about how we treat the earth and its consequences. Is there a specific passage that mentions climate change directly?
At this moment, I believe to live normally, not being wasteful, being helpful, take all problems into consideration, doing the best we can do to benefit ALL of mankind and even to make compromises is perhaps the best way to go. Change is inevitable. How do we know that only bad things can happen through climate change? God does work in mysterious ways and He did tell us not worry about the food we eat or the clothes we wear. We should be respectful of it but not worry about it.
I truly believe at this point that most people who are worried about climate change do not believe in the power and wisdom of God.
The last text of the bible was written 1600 years before the industrial revolution began and world human population finally reached its first billion people - Two events that occurred in the mid-to-end 1700s.

Thus scripture would be no more likely to mention long-term climate change than it would be to mention computers.

Of course we’re supposed to be READY … AND? Yes we were given signs which I can show you.

PS
You’re allowed to repeat that until the cows come home, however, I know that you cannot show me…

Now…

Are you prepared for some Scriptures, Tradition AND Magisterium which rebut that notion?

Or may I begin with just one solid source. before proceeding further?

It does not matter what you say. There are NO signs today that the end is near. That is simply the mind of doomsday fanatics.
Wars have always taken place. Natural disasters have always taken place.

By the way you should start a separate thread if you want to continue because you and I have hijacked the OP’s thread.

It’s not what I say. It’s what JESUS Messiah of all has given…

And it’s what The Catholic Church Teaches…

There’s a tonnne of Info concerning the Signs of The End… that it can take up several Posts

In this account - note too… the manner in which we are to note the AntiChrist…
He’ll take a seat in a Temple…

Again, nothing new that has not happened. We are not to look for signs but to be always ready.

Did you not read my last sentence in my previous post. We have hijacked the OP’s thread so if you want to continue then start a separate thread!

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the SIGN of your coming and of the end of the age?”

4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Correct. My point is that those who do not believe a higher power can destroy the earth believe that a lower power somehow can.

Point: Mount Saint Helens erupted violently in 1980. It is slowly but surely self-reforesting. Spirit Lake is re-established. Not even hundreds of degrees and billions of cubic feet of boiling debris can kill the local habitat. How is man going to destroy the entire earth?

Nuclear winter or some similar event would do one hell of a job.

Granted, I’m not sure anything man made can extinguish all life on earth. But a winter that lasted a year or two would kill the massively overwhelming majority of large animal life like people, cows, bears and deer. Once “spring” began to occur, fierce competition over resources and the over grazing of those resources would, in itself, create another post-catastrophe catastrophe.

If huge amounts of radioactivity circled the globe for years, that might “do the trick” of kicking us into extinction.

It would create another genetic bottleneck in the history of humanity. That’s for sure.

“Nuclear winter” is a theory. Theories are fine until the rubber hits the road. In considering theories, it is good to examine the reasoning behind them and the agenda of those propounding such theories.
