Some have said that Christians can cut down a tree to build a house, or burn timber to keep warm, but not just destroy it for the sake of cutting down a tree. It has also been said by some that Christians can kill animals for food but not just slaughter them. Because it is no longer a perfect world, there would be harm to their own kind and others. If ripe timber is harvested properly, there will be no net loss, even if the timber is not just used for housing,, for example. If it is not harvested, the forest becomes unhealthy and fire prone.
Proper management is essential.
This would all be a part of using the earth's resources as God intended in telling man to rule over the earth and subdue it. It is natural to want to see things in black and white terms. And there certainly are black and white issues. However, because some things are so varied and complex, often involving sinful human behavior and motives, black and white answers may be risky and hard to find. Sincere, Bible believing Christians may end up on opposing sides of such issues.
