The Bible commands Christians to be faithful stewards of God’s creation (Genesis 2:15). Supporting zoos and aquariums presents an ethical dilemma, as it balances the benefit of education and conservation against the ethical concern of animal confinement. Christians should ethically support institutions that prioritize animal welfare, species preservation, research, and rehabilitation and strongly oppose any facility that treats animals merely as objects for human entertainment, resulting in distress or cruel confinement. Support should be conditional, driven by the goal of good stewardship and promoting human understanding of God’s marvelous creation.

The Bible commands Christians to be faithful stewards of God’s creation (Genesis 2:15). Therefore, the ethical evaluation of owning a gas-guzzling vehicle centers on its impact on the environment and the community. While Scripture does not forbid owning large vehicles, Christian ethics strongly encourage decisions that minimize wastefulness and pollution. A Christian should weigh the legitimate need for a larger vehicle (e.g., family size, necessary work) against the ethical obligation to practice sustainability and care for the planet for future generations.

The Bible does not mention climate change by name, but it lays a clear foundation for Creation Care. Christians are called to be stewards, not owners, of the earth (Genesis 2:15; Psalm 24:1). Protecting the planet is an act of worship and justice, especially for the poor, and a reflection of God’s own love for all His creation (Revelation 11:18; Romans 8:22).
