Macauley Nolan, When looking at the points you made about the creation of mankind I feel the quote you incorporated from Tonn gives insight into its importance while separating the two. Further supporting this we can look at a quote from Rogers. “Humans are given authority over creation, but as partners with God, they must honor the Sabbath and practice care for creation.”( Rogers, 2022). Caring for God's creation is equally important and is one of our duties as Christians to demonstrate in our daily lives but we must still rest. We can see Shin mentioned this in an article that he wrote that is related to resting after completing our work. “Though God is our ultimate source of rest, our surrounding environment also provides rest in our temporal lives.” (Shin, 2022). When looking at the business ethics portion of your discussion I agree that practicing ethical business practices does have a major impact on the other employees within the corporate environment. This should mirror the ethics that Jesus demonstrated in the bible sense we are all created in his image and likeness. “When we behave in a manner consistent with God’s character, we act ethically. When we fail to do so, we act unethically.” (Hill, 2018). These issues about modern-day business operations about fraud have increased as you mentioned and I believe this is due to the incorporation of companies relaying heavily on technologies in the workplace. This gives employees a lot of freedom to manipulate data and can lead to unethical decisions in the workplace for financial gain. Lastly, you did a great job on your discussion post and I feel a verse form Genesis can sum up the major points form this chapter. “The Lord God took man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.’ (Genesis 2:15, Holeman Bible). We are all here to work and multiply the earth. This is what our main duty is on the earth and even god demonstrated this when creating us in the book of Genesis
