Dominion: Comments and Discussion
Comments by Colin - 3 Dec 2006

Hello:

Genesis 1:26. God said. Let man have dominion over every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.

And the meaning of dominion? Lordship; sovereignty; control. (Oxford Dictionary)

Here, the editors/translators of the Bible seem out to sanctify their future business empires.

I cannot see how a compassionate kind of God would have used the word dominion.

If I were a holy man representing the true God, I would ask Genesis 1:26. to be rewritten with more of God's compassion.

"Let human be family to every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth."

Peace

Colin
