The new pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (replacing D. James Kennedy), William Graham Tullien Tchividjian, sounds very much like a proponent of Dominion Theology.
Because God is on a mission to transform this present world into the world to come and because He has enlisted Christians to join him in this work; then everything we do in this life matters forever.
What do you think?
Hmmm, reminds me of Rob Bell.
I think you’re right. Other than that, what is he talking about?
Sounds like the same old “read this book instead of the Bible” thing.

Ok – got it… God needs our help to transform the world into the world to come. ie – Dominionism!!!
Wow – what a God we serve, that He needs MY help? No wonder my life must “count for something big & explosive”. Where will God do if it doesn’t?

YES!! Dominionist uses Genesis 1:28 as their ‘mandate’. NASB uses, referring to creation, ‘rule’ over the birds . . . other translations use the word ‘dominion’. However, with the fall of man — sin turned the harmonious system of God-ordained roles into struggles of self-will.
AFTER THE FALL:
The effect of the curse on creation is “vanity” — futility. Ecc 1:5-8
Labor is difficult and yields little profit — Ecc 1:3, 13; 2:3; 3:9-11; Ge 3:17-19
Man’s heart is desperately wicked. Ge 3:22; 6:5; 8:21 Ecc 7:20; 7:29; 8-11; 9:3
What we see happening is the rise of ‘Social Justice’ issues and dominionists try to fix ‘creation’ and create a physical Kingdom of God on earth NOW — the Kingdom of God in Scripture is a spiritual Kingdom until time ends when we then reside in the eternal Kingdom with God.
