Nothing belongs to me that doesn't belong it God. I am not entitled to whatever I "have". Authority over living animals was not mine, but God given. Did we deserve it? We did nothing to garner authority. I worship a God of grace. … Expand

God saw that is good. Creation sprung from God, it was good. Sin is not of God, and now it is good no longer because it is not of God, sin if not of God. Romans 7:18- For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out Luke 18:19- "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "Nothing is good except God alone" … Expand
