Destruction of 50% of the planet is not end of the world?
It is clear from the Bible that the destruction and end of the world will not be man-made. No question about that. But why do influential Christian leaders, even like John F. MacArthur, think it is fine for 2 billion to be drowned, 2 billion losing…
