ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
- (After Jesus had created food for thousands out of 5
loaves and 2 fish) Gather up the fragments left over,
that nothing may be lost. (John 6:1-13)
(Note: All things are gift from LORD, we must use them
with responsibility. If we waste one ton of steel,
because of multiplying effect, we waste some tons of coal
in refining, some chemical and some fuel too. If we use
things many times instead of using it once and throw it
away, e.g. glass bottles may be used 50 times of more,
then energy consumption may be 1/50 of before!)
- (When an cow or sheep is born, we must leave it with its
mother for 7 days) (Ex 22:30)
- You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. (Ex 23:19)
And whether the mother is a cow or a ewe, you shall not
kill both her and her young in one day. (Lev 22:28)
- For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its
yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie
fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what
they leave the wild beasts may eat. You shall do likewise
with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard. (Ex
23:10-11)
..in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn
rest for the land, a sabbath to the LORD; you shall not
sow your field or prune your vineyard. What grows of
itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes
of your undressed vine you shall not gather; it shall be
a year of solemn rest of the land. The sabbath of the
land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for
your male and female slaves and for your hired servant
and the sojourner who lives with you; for your cattle
also and for the beasts that are in your land all its
yield shall be for food. (Lev 25:4-7)
- Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day
you shall rest, that your ox and your ass may have rest,
and the son of your bondmaid, and the alien, may be
refreshed. (Ex 23:12)
- (When the ancient Israelites was about to enter Canaan,
LORD spoke these words to them) When you come into the
land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you
shall count their fruit as forbidden; three years it
shall be forbidden to you, it must not be eaten. And in
the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy, an
offering of praise to the LORD. But in the fifth year you
may eat of their fruit, that they may yield more richly
for you.) (Lev 19:23-25)
(Note: when the fruit tree is young, do not gather its
fruit or we may hurt its health).
Note: Breaking a horse/ass for beast of burden by cruel means,
unceasing collection of eggs from hens (by nature, a hen will lay
a certain number of eggs before she starts brooding, but if we
collect its egg every time it lays it, it will keep on laying
until its body wastes away), milking a cow beyond her stength are
all acts breaking LORD's Law of kindness and mercy to beasts.
Pruning a fruit tree unceasingly until its death also breaks
LORD's Law.
