Genesis chapter 1, verse number 26.
Genesis 1, verse number 26.
The Bible says, And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness,
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Mankind is to be the number one thing that God created. Amen.
And God created us to have dominion over the things of the earth.
So God created animals, He created fish, He created the birds.
Do you think God cares for His creation? Of course He does.
Why did He make them if He doesn't care about them? That doesn't make sense.
But God created us to be the preeminent thing on the earth
as far as the things that He created managed to have dominion
over those things. And verse 27 says, So God created man in His own image,
and in the image of God created Him, male and female
created He them. Verse 28, And God
blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish
the earth, and subdue it. And the word subdue
means to bring under control. And it says, And have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth. So dominion
means a sovereignty or control. Okay. And that's
what it means. So we're supposed to have these animals under
our dominion. We're supposed to have these animals under our control.
We're supposed to subdue the animals of the world. And you know
there's some real weird people out there that think the exact opposite of that.
I mean I saw this girl crying because chickens were being killed or whatever
this video just recently. I was just like wow. She's like, and you were all part
of this. And you know just crying because these chickens are being killed. I
like chicken. Chicken tastes good. There's nothing wrong with having chicken.
Okay. There's nothing wrong with it. Amen.
Chicken eating Baptist. Right.
