Bible Question:
Is it true to say that the bible teaches us that God is in the Heavens, thats His abode and that man has been given the earth to live on for know? IM NOT SURE IF I CAN TEACH THIS TO MY STUDENTS.WE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONING MANS ATTEMPTS TO REACH SPACE AND WHETHER THIS IS PLEASING OR UNPLEASING TO GOD? |
Bible Answer: Dear carlygrips, Man's duty and responsibility has been clearly identified in Gen 1:26. As far as my understanding, we do not have the right to take charge of the universe / space. If it is out of pride that human get to the space and land on the moon to claim their conquest of the universe and boast of their technological advancement, I believe it does not please God and this is so much alike building the tower Babel.
