Why Are We Here

IN SHORT, WE ARE HERE, NOT TO:

Pollute the air, water, and ground,
Abuse mankind or any life form,
Enrich and weaponize the few in
order to dominate the masses.

IN SHORT, WE ARE HERE BECAUSE:

God has a plan.
God has a purpose.
God has a process.

In spite of the failure
of Adam and Eve, God continues to implement
His Purpose. The authorization that was given to
Adam and Eve by God to TEND and to RULE the earth
did not change because of the sin of Adam and Eve.

We do not know to what extent we are responsible for
'What we do not know, but we are very responsible for
the things that we do know.  We get only one life-span
to achieve the purposes assigned to us. We must therefore
tend and rule responsibly and well, fostering the best possible
existence in a fallen world, because we are being held responsible
for what we know of God's purpose for our lives.

God has well-equipped mankind for the task he commands. It is
only when we allow hate and greed to dominate our hearts and
minds that it becomes impossible to implement God's plans and
purposes. Such purposes are for our good, and God knows best.
