Ecclesiastes speaks positively- enjoy ones eat and drink, labor in the life that God has given (2:24,3:12-13,3:22,5:18,8:15,9:7). Qoheleth even reminds us to enjoy life with the woman you love (9:9). If one disparages creation, one is disparaging the Creator. The overall positive/ affirming view of creation is fundamental to Judaism and Christianity. “…. God said it was good “.
Thank you! This is so true, and a needed message for our culture.
I have so enjoyed your last two posts! Thank you, I feel informed, challenged and encouraged by your writing. Love the Chesterton paraphrase.
