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.
