[QUOTE="linux.poet, post: 77592716, member: 443852"] Sorry, I got my wires crossed a little bit. God handed over the authority over the creation to man, and then we gave it to Satan, which is why the creation is cursed and fights against us. The authority I was referring to was NOT the authority over the creation, but God’s authority over us as humans, which he delegated to nobody until Christ’s death and resurrection. That is what I meant by “the world” as in the John 3:16 world, namely the world of human beings. The fact that this authority was not delegated is evident in the giving of the Law in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, and the fact that Satan has to ask permission of God before doing anything to us (see Job 1-2). Now, post Christ’s death and resurrection, all authority has been given to Christ, and thus the creation is, through the Holy Spirit’s guidance, subject to the Christian. Under the Holy Spirit’s guidance we have invented all these technologies to subdue the creation to us. The problem is our fallen bodies, and so we expend so much of the creations’ resources to comfort and sustain them. We also are not all following Christ and those of us who are still following Satan make life difficult for the creation as well. When our bodies our redeemed, the creation will be restored. [/QUOTE]
