Questions regarding man-made climate change
To the editor:
I have a few questions I would like answered by those out there who are believers in man-caused climate change.
1. How does it help the planet to drill for oil in Venezuela instead of somewhere in the U.S? Let's say you bring up a million barrels of oil in Venezuela, how do you get it to a refinery in the U.S? If you bring up barrels of oil in the U.S., is it not closer to a refinery in the U.S. already? It is obvious that the oil from Venezuela will have to be put onto a tanker and shipped to the U.S. I don't know of any pipelines that run from there to the U.S.
2. How much fuel will have to be burned in a tanker's engine to ship that oil to the U.S.? Or are we going to use a sailing tanker that runs on clean wind to get the oil here? Perhaps we could build a battery-operated tanker and put windmills on it to charge the batteries. That would then need the question answered, how much fuel would it take to build that tanker and even if it would work?
I have a lot more questions that need to be answered about this project but I will wait to ask them when the questions I have already asked get answered.

The gospel according
to God
To the editor:
According to the good pleasure of His Father, the eternal Son, being in the exact representation and equal with the Father, willingly left the glory of heaven and was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of a virgin and born as the God-man: Jesus of Nazareth (Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:6-7). He walked in perfect obedience to the law of God as a man upon this earth. (Heb. 4:15). He was rejected by men and in God's time crucified by them. He bore the sins of His people, suffered God's wrath, and died in their place on the cross. The third day God raised Him from the dead as a divine declaration that His death was an acceptable sacrifice that satisfied the demands of justice, appeased God's wrath, and paid the penalty for the disobedience of His people (Luke 24:6; Rom. 1:4; 4:25). After forty days He ascended into the heavens and set down at the right hand of the Father and was given glory, honor, and dominion over all (Heb. 1:3; Matt. 28:18; Dan. 7:13-14). There He represents His people and requests to God on their behalf. Those who acknowledge their sinful helpless state and trust fully in Christ, God will fully pardon, declare righteous and reconcile to Himself (Mark 1:15; Rom. 10:9; Phil. 3:3).
