Thesis 7: The Dominion Mandate

Man was created to exercise “dominion” over the earth.[1] This mandate is sometimes called “The Cultural Mandate,” both to signify its comprehensive scope (#68), and to distinguish a Godly stewardship from an unGodly and selfish domination of the creation.[2]

Notes
[1] Genesis 1:26-28; 9:1-3,7,10; Psalm 8:5-8
[2] Deuteronomy 20:19; 25:4; Proverbs 12:10
