No passages cited.
New Testament
“For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.”
Warns that abandoning known righteous guidance, such as stewardship of creation, is condemnable.
“He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
Calls people to heed warning of impending judgment, analogous to warnings about environmental harm.
Analysis
The EU plan to use drones for pesticide spraying raises a moral issue of environmental stewardship. Scripture warns against turning away from known righteousness (2 Peter 2:21) and urges people to flee impending wrath (Luke 3:7). Applying these passages, the proposed increase in pesticide use, even with precision technology, risks violating the biblical call to care for God’s creation and to heed warnings of judgment. Thus the conduct is unrightous and in tension with scriptural principles.
