Here's Why Most Pastors Aren't Biblical

A recent study found that only 37% of pastors have a Biblical worldview. When surveying about 1,000 pastors across the country, researchers found that nearly two thirds of them veer off from what the Bible says in one way or another. In this episode of Answers News, our hosts Ken Ham, Dr. Kaia Kloster, and Rob Webb share their perspectives on this matter as Bible-believing Christians.

But, to pray to or worship to beads is IDOLATRY, under Jewish laws!!!! A SIN!!!! The punishment for idolatry is DEATH!!! So, with the claim by Catholics that Mary prayed to beads is a LIE!!!! As a Jewish woman, she WOULD NOT have prayed to beads!!! ABSOLUTELY 100% Jesus NEVER told her--nor taught Mary to do that.--So, under which law will Mary be judged: the Catholics claim--or the Jewish law??? ***The Bible bluntly declares, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people” (Ezekiel 13:20). Think of it this way. Our lives are filled with uncertainty and danger; none of us knows what the future holds for us. Yet, the Catholics push their charms. ***God alone is infallible (Numbers 23:19; Acts 17:11). Catholics say the Pope is infallible. ****Scripture alone is the Word of God (John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21; Mark 7:1-13). Catholics claim their Church Traditions are ABOVE the written word of God. ****Christ Jesus is the one mediator to whom we can entrust all our cares and petitions (1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:13,14; 1 Peter 5:7). Catholics claim Mary and Joseph are mediators. ***The Catholic Church had the audacity to change the Saturday Sabbath to Sunday worship. In ca 321 - 325 the Empire Constantine changed this observance for the first time: commanding the Christians to no longer keep Saturday but Sunday (which up to that point had only been observed in honour of Our Lord's Resurrection - but only ONCE a year - namly on the Easter Sunday) - and commanded this change to be a WEEKLY worship, instead of Saturday - ,to fall in line with many other pagan festivals). Christ nailed the ceremonial law ("written by the hand of Moses, "which was against us": including all the annual feast sabbaths etc to His cross - becsuse He had fulfilled that law - by becoming the Petfect Sacrifice/Lamb once and for ALL. But HE never abolished the 7th day Creation Sabbath!The Catholic Church themselves state: "Sunday is a catholic Institution...From the beginning to the end of Scriptures (from Genesis to Revelation) there is NOT a single passage which warrents the transferance of the weekly public worship from the last day (Saturday) to the first day (Sunday) of the week" (Catholic Press, Sunday August 25, 1970. "Sunday is a MARK of Our authority, the (catholic) Church is above the Bible and the transference of Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday observance is proof of that fact" (Catholic Record Sept. 1, 1923) The Bible days "remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day" The Catholic Church ssys "NO! By my divine Power I abolish the Sabbath day (Saturday), and command you to keep holy the first day of the week (Sunday "the venerable pagan worship day of the sun"). And Lo - the entire civilized world bows down in reverend obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church" (Father Enright, "American Sentinel", June 1893)... and there are many more such blaspemious quotes by the catholic church themselves ****

[@itsonlyme2274]

The Anglican church is currently in the process of falling away from the truth. They let women preach! which goes directly against scripture. (Titus 1:6-8) "If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. {7} For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; {8} But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;" 1 Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. So few actually know the Word of God a.k.a. Jesus. These female pastors either are harlots or ignorant of the New Testament. Harlots for going after other gods or ignorant which proves that they should not be preaching from behind a pulpit as 1st Corinthians is even in the New Testament. Psalms 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Need I say more.

Luke 4:16 KJB clearly states that it was the custom of our Lord Jesus to go to church every sabbath. He was not a sundaykeeper and every sundaykeeper is on his way to hell if he does not repent. Why did the Gentiles ask Paul to come the next sabbath day so that they could hear the words of salvation? Acts 13:42, Acts 13:44. Why did Lydia a Greek and other Gentiles go to pray at a river on the sabbath? Acts 16:13. God only blessed, sanctified and hallowed the sabbath. Isaiah 66:22,23 and Colossians 2:16 prove that in the new earth, we shall worship God in the new moons and the sabbaths. He never blessed sunday. The Pharisees were wrong about healing on the sabbath because they considered it work but our Lord Jesus is right, was right and will always be right.

Amen. An atheist can easily join a church, fake their beliefs, go to school and obtain a degree & go to seminary and mislead the believers to false doctrine (that one Atheist Pastor in Canada for a best example). An actual believer, a Christian, that knows their Bible and knows scripture and they're less likely to preach false doctrine. My theology and beliefs of Christianity are supported by the Bible itself. My church, my ministry is one I opened & relaunched as many "pastors" kept putting me down for my rough life. God chooses & ordains humankind, not man! It's man's law in the churches to obtain a special education. My Church-Ministry is Independent Lutheran, so that way I can remain autonomous and completely independent. Why Lutheran? I personally believe that the Book of Concord/Augsburg Confession explain scripture perfectly. You indeed don't need special education to be in God's priesthood as those special education degree places didn't exist back then. Thomas, he was agnostic to Jesus' resurrection and immediately began preaching.

We should know the grace of God, show grace one to another (in terms of love that covers a multitude of sins) BUT that is not the same as tolerating/celebrating sin. God doesnt tolerate sin and says no to celebrating or partaking in that in any way. All sins lead to death. He took our sins upon Himself (so we can stand before Him in Christ) and declares to us, we are released from that prison so now we are enabled to stop sinning. So tolerating sins is a sin itself that we are advised not to do ever in our own lives and that of each other against each other. Instead the bible tells us to call out where that's done and correct via the ministry of the holy inspired bible in all humility, love, and longggggggg suffering patience

Several years back I began thinking on something similar. We have too many people who go to church to receive something from God. These people seem to have forgotten that the church isn't where you go to worship God, but we are actually supposed to be the church. These people don't have a steady prayer life, they don't read the bible for themselves, they only worship at the church building, and they do not listen for God. They show up on Sunday, take what little sample the pastor gives them, then forget about God until the next service. They want to it to all be given to them, and they don't want to work for it. I think of them as 'panhandling Christians' They get less, less often, and seldom what they want because they will not seek God. All in all, it leads to a weak and confused group of people within the church. The Church is the pillar of society. The reason America, and other countries, have turned away from Godly morals is that the church has turned away from God. Until we return to God as the Church, we will not return to God as a nation.

Thoughts always lead to actions. That's why it's important to control our thoughts. A basic understanding of psychology and human behavior tells you that. In today's world especially, truly reasoning together using facts and logic with spiritual truths goes a long way. Just my opinion 🙂

Have you ever been tempted to say or do something but you resisted and refused? That's an example of a thought not leading to an action. I now in some cases they can be considered the same. Like looking on a woman with lust is still adultury even if you don't actually sleep with her. It's a thought that didn't lead to an action but still a sin. Does that help?

There is a problem I’m seeing that is much more subtle than obvious rejections of literal scripture. We are seeing pastors with solid doctrine still having a man-centered gospel/preaching and not a God-centered one for fear off not reaching the lost. They don’t preach hell, or abortion, or anything that will offend the seeker, using man’s means to win a soul and not God’s. These are your Tim Keller’s and Mackie’s of the world.

I was 14 when an associate pastor at a very small, young church shared the gospel with me. I had no previous exposure to the Bible and considered myself an atheist. He began his presentation in Genesis 1.1, explaining the impossibility of evolution or even the universe, how the Earth was not so old and how someone like God created life. That same God had a plan and the ability to save each of us from the insanity that is life here on Earth under sin and the curse. Before our discussion over, I had accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. My faith has never wavered in 45+ years. I credit my foundation with that. There's a reason why God's Word starts at Genesis 1.1.

[@johnsanabria3279]

I don't know if this has been mentioned,but a lot of pastors today tend to lean upon pre-suppositions in their sermons,and that in my opinion means that they don't check scripture against scripture to back up what the Bible says or their golf game is more important so they rehash and blow the dust off an older sermon. Also consider the fact that there are some subjects pastors won't preach on for fear of losing a good part of their congregation. As to their world view,some pastors would rather hide behind their church doors than figure out what's really going on out in the world.

[@michielsmit7969]

I absolutely agree with Ken's introduction. But I need to add: most Pastors also have not discovered the 7th day Sabbath so succinctly announced in Gen 2:2-3 and jealously guarded by Israel to this very day. Jesus kept the day and so did the apostles. It was Constantine and the Catholic church that brought about the greatest deception in Christian history.

[@HotSeat17]

Amen. Idk why the Church is so blind to Church history and Scriptural truth in context of the whole Bible.

[@HotSeat17]

THE SABBATH! It is obvious we can not keep the Ten Commandments on our own. We need the grace of Jesus and the help of the Holy Spirit inside of true Believers to be able to keep them written in our hearts and to obey out of our BornAgain Love of the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Not legal...just Love. 💜 Be careful which "Law" you are talking about!!!! Also, Israel consists of 12 tribes....Judah or Jews are only one. Because the tribes spread throughout the world after the Exiles in Assyria and Persia, you may be descended from one of those scattered tribes! So the Sabbath was given to ALL ISRAEL...ALL 12 (actually 13 ) TRIBES, not just Judah! "Holy" means "set aside". God made the Sabbath holy and sanctified it at Creation- Genesis 2:3. "Jesus is the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8. " I am the Lord. I change not." Malachi 3:6. " That which God blessed, cannot be reversed!" Numbers 23:20. " For You blessed, O Lord, and it shall be blessed forever." 1 Chron.17:27. "I gave them My Sabbaths, as a sign between Me and them, that they might know I am the Lord that sanctifies them." Ezekiel 20:12. Ezekiel 20:16 "...because they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols." Ezekiel 20:19-20 "I am the Lord your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’" Sunday is NOT the Sabbath! Saturday is, always was and always will be the Sabbath of GOD. It is the 4th Commandment, that God wrote with His own finger in the Ten Commandments tablets of stone. God said in His 4th Commandment , "REMEMBER the Sabbath day, to keep it holy..." God knew we would forget! Hebrews 4:4-8 says "...There remains, therefore, a rest to the people of God..." 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 The traditions of men: Mark 7:5-7 "He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ The Hebrew word for "Daddy" is Abba..... S ABBA TH, right in the middle of Sabbath, or Shabbat in Hebrew. This is a very serious subject and error in the churches today, yet totally swept under the carpet, ignored, vehemently denied, or said it was "nailed to the cross" with the other 9 Commandments! You can not pick and choose which one or ones to obey. Half obedience is still disobedience! Sorry, the 4th Commandment still stands! It is the Seal of God- Rev.6:9, 7:2-3, 9:4, John 6:27, 2 Tim. 2:19, Eph.1:13-14, 2Cor.1:22, Deut.11:18, Exodus 6:4-9, 13:2-10, 13-23- as opposed to the mark of the beast-Rev.13-14. I can't list all the scriptures as proofs that Saturday is the Sabbath, NOT Sunday! Research for yourselves. (Important! I am not a Seventh Day Adventist.) Nowhere in the Bible does it say the 4th Commandment, or any others, were done away with! Again, do not confuse the 613 Levitical laws, including special sabbaths - not THE SABBATH - , with the Ten Commandments! The Levitical laws were nailed to the cross!!! You'll also miss the Millenium...the Sabbath Rest for the true Believers!!! That is 1,000 years of Rest after 6,000 years of biblical history are up. Set aside Saturday- the true Sabbath- as your day of worship and fellowship with God, our Creator, not in legalism, but in grace. It is obedience to GOD, the Father, out of love for Him. "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath", Jesus says- Matt. 12:18, Mark 2:27. Sin is the breaking of the Law- 1 John 3:4- What Law? What will sinners all be judged by- James 2:12.? What sins did Jesus cleanse and forgive us for by His cruel death at the cross? In James 2:10, what law is he referring to? Do we get to pick which ones we want to obey out of our love for God, or do we keep all of it? We can't, except by grace. The Law is written on our hearts, in Spirit and Truth. In Matt.7:21 Jesus says, "Not everyone that says to Me, 'Lord, Lord', shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of My Father who is in heaven." These are so-called Christians because they call Jesus 'Lord, Lord'. Jesus also said these so-called Christians are "workers of lawlessness or iniquity! What law was Jesus referring to??? He was referring to the Ten Commandments! What is the will of the Father? Rev.14:12 says, "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the Commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus".The Ten Commandments, not the Levitical law. Christians get these confused because they don't read their Bibles, taking verses out of context. They follow the traditions and teachings of men- Matt.15:6,9, Romans 3:4. 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 Then at the Council of Laodicea in 363-364 AD, the Biblical Sabbath day was outlawed. The Early Church hated the Jews, because, as Eusebius said, "The Jews killed the LORD." Eusebius was very close to Emperor Constantine who was a sun worshipper, hence the change to SUNday, along with many other pagan idol worship changes: “Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be Judaizers, let them be cursed from Christ.” (Canon 29) By this time, all things Jewish were understood to be totally incompatible with Christianity. Jesus would not recognize the Church by now. The Messianic Jewish faith of “The Way” that the Jewish Messiah and His Jewish followers started was officially buried over these 300 years, and the new religion called Christianity arose. 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖

@Artifact Hunter *Mainstream Christianity has it ALL WRONG!* The truth IS in the Bible, but not in “Religion.” *Jesus is the FIRSTBORN in heaven, Firstborn AMONG MANY,* He has plenty of siblings, born in heaven before the foundations of the earth were laid. *JESUS SIBLINGS will inherit the earth as JOINT HEIRS with Christ.* Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. *Elohim is a FAMILY NAME, a SURNAME:* *YHWH Elohim* - Father (Lord God), The Most High God, God the Father *Yahsua Elohim* - Jesus, FIRSTBORN Son, Messiah - God The Son *elohim* - YHWHs offspring (baby gods), Jesus’s SIBLINGS - taken out of YHWH & names recorded in the Lambs book of Life before the foundations of the earth were laid. Also called Morning Stars and Children of the Most High. Ephesians 3:15 *Of whom the WHOLE FAMILY in heaven and earth is named,* (Elohim) Then there are: *Mortal Humans* created for destruction to teach Elohim & show the glory of The Most High God. As well as LITERAL children of the devil (Canaanites & Nephilim angel-human hybrids from Genesis 6.) Psalm 82:6-22 I have said, *Ye are gods (Elohim);* and *all of you are children of the most High.* But ye shall die *LIKE men,* and fall *LIKE* one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God (Elohim), judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. Who is God (Elohim) in verse 8? It is NOT YHWH The Most High God, YHWH does NOT Inherit, YHWH GIVES! *Elohim are Jesus AND His Many SIBLINGS.* Psalms 2:8 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.” Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but *they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.* They who are written in the Lamb's book of life are Elohim, taken out of YHWH before the foundations of the earth were laid. Jesus is The FIRSTBORN among MANY. *PREEXISTENCE OF ELOHIM CHILDREN OF GOD* Ephesians 1:4 According as he (YHWH) hath chosen us in him *BEFORE the foundation of the world,* that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Romans 8:29-30 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED. 1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, *which God ordained BEFORE the world unto our glory:* Titus 1:2 *In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, PROMISED BEFORE the world began;* Jesus went to prepare a place for us - New Jerusalem, Mount Zion, the city of God, The temple of God. A Holy Mountain. John 14:2-3 *In my Father's house (TEMPLE) are many mansions:* if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” When People say they are *looking for Jesus coming,* what are they looking for? If they are looking for a HUGE 1500 mile (High, wide, & deep) transparent crystal ball-looking Death Star (or pyramid or cube) as bright as the sun, perhaps throwing geometric rainbow patterns everywhere, (called New Jerusalem) then they have the right idea! 1500 miles is the size of two Texas’s side by side. The air thins at 5 miles.. and it’s 1500 miles tall. It could house ALL of humanity. It’s made of transparent Gold and precious stones. Jesus went to build New Jerusalem and bring it with him on His return, filled with ALL of his saints not already living upon the earth, so they can reunite with their (perfected) bodies and then ENTER NEW JERUSALEM, to go out NO MORE. The marriage supper of the lamb IS ON EARTH inside NEW JERUSALEM, The kingdom of God ON EARTH. “On earth as it is in heaven”. NOBODY INHERITS HEAVEN! If you believe you will leave earth & live with YHWH Elohim in heaven for eternity you have not understood the scriptures, because the Bible teaches no such thing. The Bible teaches that *THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH* *NOBODY INHERITS HEAVEN* where YHWH Dwells according to scripture. Psalms 115:16 *The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but THE EARTH hath he given to the children of men.* Matthew 5:5 *Blessed are the MEEK: for they shall inherit THE EARTH* Psalms 37:11 *But the MEEK shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.* Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God (NEW JERUSALEM ON EARTH), and he Shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the *NAME OF MY GOD,* and the name of the city of my God, which is *new Jerusalem,* which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my NEW NAME. Jeremiah 3:14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you ONE OF A CITY, and TWO OF A FAMILY, and I will bring you to Zion: (Zion is ON EARTH, in Jerusalem). Jesus rules earth from New Jerusalem FOR EVER. Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, *The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign FOR EVER and EVER* Jesus reigns ON EARTH with His Saints for 1,000 years during the millennium. After the millennium, Satan is loosed, Armageddon takes place & evil is wiped from the earth. THEN New Jerusalem lifts from earth & Jesus creates a New Heaven & a New Earth. After the evil is expelled, the earth will be upgraded to its former glory as it was before the Fall. Scripture teaches that the Jesus will show His lost sheep the way to glory: Romans 11:26 And so *all Israel shall be saved:* as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Israel = Elohim whose names were written in the Book of Life before the foundations of the earth were laid. Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven ONLY Elohim (True dispersed Israel ) will refuse the mark of the beast unto death according to scripture. Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, *whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.* Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, *whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,* when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. The truth of the Bible is similar to the Greek pantheon of gods & demigods, in the sense that there is an eternal race of beings living among mortals. The immortal Elohim baby gods are growing up and many are nearing perfection over the flesh. They must be tried & tested during Tribulation and many will be beheaded for their testimony of Jesus & the Gospel. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. These are Elohim. Perfected Israelites. ONLY the PROVEN righteous can be in the government of God and share in His power. Perfection takes a LONG TIME, many lives to learn obedience, even Jesus endured until perfection. Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. “For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:” If there is no suffering in heaven, then it stands to reason that Jesus suffered often ON EARTH. Often since the foundations of the earth were laid is a long period of time implying multiple lives across thousands of years MINIMUM. This is MORE REINCARNATION discussion here, in addition to “Who do men say that I am” discussion, in addition to “John was Elijah” discussion, in addition to the “first & last Adam” discussion, & the two witness - old prophets RAISED AGAIN during tribulation, etc. Questions?

In KJV Genesis 1 we see “Elohim” translated as “God” and in Genesis 2:7 is the first time we find “YHWH Elohim” (the Most High God) translated as “Lord God” - the terms are NOT synonymous. Elohim is a FAMILY NAME, a SURNAME. Ephesians 3:14-15 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom *the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named,* * YHWH Elohim = God the Father, The MOST HIGH God * Jesus the (Firstborn) Son = Yahwasua (from Paleo Hebrew) / Yahshua, God The Son * elohim = Jesus many BRETHREN (taken out of YHWH before the earth was created) = gods The way I read it: 1 In the beginning God (Elohim, PLURAL, the Elohim FAMILY) created the heaven and the earth.

I believe this Gen 1:2 destruction took place before Noah’s flood, and that’s why YHWH said he wouldn’t flood the world again (a third time). Isaiah makes reference to this in Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof We are reminded that we are ignorant of antiquity and that everything occurs in cycles. Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and *there is no new thing under the sun* It’s all been done before. Jeremiah 4:23 “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was (BECAME) *without form, and void;* and the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. The phrase “without form, and void” is only used twice in the Bible, and I believe they are describing the same event - destruction of “the old world” mentioned in the Bible. 2 Peter 3:5 “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and *the earth standing out of the water and in the water:* 6: Whereby *the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:* Ecclesiastes 1:9 “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? *it hath been already of old time, which was before us.* 11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. An OLD TIME which was BEFORE US.. BEFORE The earth became WITHOUT FORM & VOID, discussed in Genesis 1:2, & Jeremiah, and 2Peter 3:5 Genesis 1:2 is a Destruction, Genesis 1:3 is a RE-Creation performed by The Elohim family & children after the earth was destroyed (described in Jeremiah 4:23-27) in a previous epoch/eon and the earth was in the water & out of the water (2 Peter 3:5) describing Genesis 1:2 And that’s just the first 3 verses..

29:24 With Denisovans, it is not just anatomy from very incomplete evidence, but genome from fairly complete one. And Pääbo found Denisovan genome fairly well matches the one of Antecessor in Atapuerca, and that has a morphology matching Heidelbergians, who were really big. *There were giants in those days,* anyone?

[@hglundahl]

Blue eyes = genome, evidence in tooth. Food = calculus, evidence on tooth.

By the way, blue eyes is Neanderthal, Denisovan are brown eyes, and yes, the genes for either can be taken from a molar.

[@jersmith1486]

Could you put that in layman's terms?

[@hglundahl]

@@jersmith1486 Here are a few explanations. Svante Pääbo does gene testing on ancient human skeleta. _Denisovans_ = the race of a pinky finger of a girl (or woman?) from Denisova cave in Russia, and some of its genes are around in some human populations today, like Tibetans and Australian aborigines have some genes for breathing in common with her. _Antecessor_ - a race found galore in Atapuerca cave in Spain, and some of them had eaten each other. _Heidelbergians_ - a race found in Heidelberg and Terra Amata. We already knew that Heidelbergians and Antecessors looked alike, the reason they are not considered the same would be mainly the dates, I think. Then Pääbo who knew the genome of the Denisova girl (I think the information "teen girl" was decided on basis of the size of the preserved finger) tested the genome of the Atapuerca population, not identic, but surprisingly close. So, as a Creationist : Antecessor = Heidelbergian = I ignore the dates, they are obviously physically close. Antecessor = Denisovan = Svante Pääbo _nearly_ said so, and again I ignore the dates.

Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Colossians 2: 16-17. But regardless of your interpretation of that, Romans 14: 5-6 says: ":One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord." Let's now have a look at Romans 7: 6- "But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and NOT IN THE OLD WAY OF THE WRITTEN CODE." So there is the letter of the law which kills but the spirit of the law gives life. (see 2nd Corinthians 3: 6) In fact, in the original letter of the law command from Exodus 20 simply says: "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God." Even the letter of the law does not specify which day of the week you start working or finish- simply work 6 days and on the 7th rest. If that is the letter of the law, how much more so is true the spirit of the law which is: “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Agree on the power of the Word (both in written and spoken form as it points to God as Heavenly Father and the Son of God Jesus in the anointing of their shared Holy Spirit). A heartfelt conviction by that power does not always need a confirmation of visible signs and wonders (in fact, we are told not to just be seekers after those things, but hear the message and put our faith and hope in it for He is faithful and true). I see this ministry as more useful in terms of being a tool for Christians to firm up on foundational truths / foundational world view.. and only perhaps possibly speak to some who are questioning the origins of life and open to human's history from the bible records. To them I merely suggest to consider how the bible can't be just some made up by man fairytales.. as there is enough proof of His constancy in creation.. the sun and moon bearing witness, our own fantastic complex biological makeup, etc. We are deeply loved by God is the crux of God's message.

Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: *and they shall be ONE FLESH.* *Eve was deceived, Adam was NOT* 1 Timothy 2:14 And *Adam was NOT deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression* *Adam (Jesus) KNOWINGLY CHOSE to join Eve and overcome Sin & Death to rescue her & their progeny.* Adam/Jesus was following THE PLAN OF SALVATION, *written before the foundations of the earth were laid.* These choices were NECESSARY for ALL of God’s children (collectively called “elohim” - gods) to EXPERIENCE Good and Evil. *Adam & Eve is a beautiful LOVE STORY in my view.* *Adam likely said to Eve: We are in this TOGETHER!* *So the same SPIRIT that introduced evil & lost authority & dominion over the earth EARNED that authority & dominion BACK by perfecting himself (via transmigration), & offering himself as a perfect sacrifice, conquering Sin & Death to save his wife, himself, and their progeny.* *EVERYTHING full circle!* Why didn’t YHWH kill Cain after he slew Abel? *Because THE PLAN was for ALL of the children of Elohim FAMILY to EXPERIENCE GOOD AND EVIL, in it’s many flavors, To overcome evil, sin, and death - while gaining a PERFECTED & GLORIFIED BODY just as Jesus did.* A RECAP: YHWH -> Takes Jesus out of Himself along with elohim Brethren and writes everyone’s names in the Lambs Book of Life before the foundations of the earth were laid. * Jesus is Firstborn among many before the creation of the earth * Jesus has preeminence in ALL THINGS - to INHERIT AND RULE the earth. * Jesus was sent to earth FIRST and GIVEN DOMINION over it, and Jesus (AS ADAM) lost the authority to rule by choosing to join EVE who had been deceived and sinned. See Primogeniture. * Adam had 2 laws conflicting: 1) do not partake of tree of knowledge 2) Married to Eve -> two became ONE * JESUS as Adam Followed THE PLAN (laid before the foundations of the earth were laid) to introduce the EXPERIENCE of good & evil into the world.. Jesus/Adam chose to save Eve and let the good & wicked grow together until harvest. * Jesus had to perfect Himself over time, win back authority to Inherit & Rule earth, AND sacrifice himself to pay the debt for the sin HE INTRODUCED as Adam. * All of Jesus elohim brethren are here to learn and follow in His footsteps. SINLESS and PERFECT are not the same thing. This place is a spiritual boot camp to train up YHWHs elohim children- baby gods - into adult, wise, all-knowing mature gods, and THAT ONLY HAPPENS THROUGH old school EXPERIENCE! Tribulation is the FINAL EXAM of the next graduating class of baby gods growing up.. ready to INHERIT and move forward as JUDGES, kings, rulers, etc. in the Kingdom of God on earth during the millennium EXACTLY as scripture teaches. In ALL THINGS JESUS might have the PREEMINENCE.. *Including being the FIRST ELOHIM child to inhabit a human body, AND be given DOMINION OVER THE EARTH.* *Why would YHWH give dominion over the earth to both Adam AND Jesus? Because they are the same spiritual person.*

@Paul Ryan *PRIMOGENITURE* (Law of The Firstborn) In biblical times, the firstborn was given certain unique rights, responsibilities, and privileges. A married couple’s firstborn male child was given priority and preeminence in the family, and the best of the inheritance. The nation of Israel is identified as God’s “firstborn” in the Bible (Exodus 4:22; Jeremiah 31:9); in other words, Israel held a special place of privilege and blessing among the nations. People in ancient cultures attached great value to the eldest son, assigning him distinct benefits and obligations. The firstborn male was important because he was believed to represent the prime of human strength and vitality (Genesis 49:3; Psalm 78:51) as the “opener of the womb” (Exodus 13:2, 12, 15; Numbers 18:15; Luke 2:23). As a result, the firstborn son became the primary heir of the family. The firstborn’s birthright involved a double portion of the household estate and the leadership of the family if his father became incapacitated or was absent for some reason (Deuteronomy 21:17). After his father’s death, the eldest son usually cared for his mother until her death and provided for his unmarried sisters. In the Old Testament, firstborn humans-and animals-were considered sacred to God (Genesis 4:4; Exodus 13:1-2; Leviticus 27:26; Numbers 3:11-13; Deuteronomy 15:19-23). After God rescued Israel from slavery in Egypt, He commanded the people to consecrate every firstborn male human and firstborn animal to Him (Exodus 22:29-30). The dedication was in memory of God’s great deliverance and a sign to their children that God had brought them out of Egypt (Exodus 13:11-16). At the beginning of Israel’s years in the wilderness, God took all the males in the tribe of Levi into service in place of the firstborn males from the other tribes, entrusting the Levites with the work of His tabernacle (Numbers 3). The number of Levite males did not equal the full number of firstborns among the other tribes, so, to make up the difference, some of the firstborn from other tribes were redeemed with a financial offering to the priests (Numbers 3:46-48). After the Israelites settled in Canaan, the firstborn sons of all Israelites were to be redeemed as a sign they they belonged to God (Exodus 34:19; Numbers 18:14-16). Among the clean animals, the firstborn male was to be sacrificed to God eight days after birth (Exodus 13:11-16; 22:39-30). The firstborn males of unclean animals were either redeemed through a financial payment to the temple, replaced on the altar of sacrifice by a clean animal, or killed (Exodus 34:20; Numbers 18:14-16). These symbolic acts represented the Passover. In the final plague against Egypt, God “passed over” the firstborn males of Israel, who were in their homes with the blood of a lamb as a sign on their doors as God had commanded. The firstborn Egyptian males, including the livestock, were struck down (Exodus 11-12:30). The firstborn could sell his rights, as Esau did to Jacob (Genesis 25:29-34). In doing this, “Esau despised his birthright” (Genesis 25:34). The author of Hebrews warned his readers, “See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done” (Hebrews 12:16-17). In taking his position as firstborn lightly, Esau sinned against God and his family. The rights of the firstborn could also be lost, as was the case for Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn son (Genesis 49:3-4). Reuben slept with Bilhah, his father’s concubine (Genesis 35:22), an act that demonstrated the utmost disrespect for his father and his family. Jacob denied Reuben the blessing of the firstborn because of that sin (Genesis 49:4). In fact, Jacob withheld the blessing of the firstborn from the next two oldest sons, too, due to their violence against the Shechemites (Genesis 49:5-7; cf. Genesis 34). The importance of the firstborn reaches its apex in Scripture in the person of Jesus Christ. All prior implications of the firstborn’s role in the Bible serve to illuminate Christ’s preeminence over all creation and in the family of God. The New Testament describes Christ as the “firstborn” several times. In an earthly sense, Jesus is Mary’s firstborn son (Luke 2:7), and He was dedicated according to the law (Luke 2:22-24). Spiritually, Jesus is the “firstborn among many brothers and sisters” in the body of Christ (Romans 8:29). In Colossians 1:15, the apostle Paul writes, “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” This use of the title firstborn for Christ echoes the wording of Psalm 89:27-29, where God says of King David, “And I will appoint him to be my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth. I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail. I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.” In the book of Hebrews, Christ is “heir of all things” (Hebrews 1:2) and God’s “firstborn into the world” (Hebrews 1:6). Just as the firstborn son is head over his earthly family after his father, Jesus Christ is head of the body of Christ-the church-after God the Father (Ephesians 1:20-23; Colossians 1:18, Hebrews 2:10-12). Just as the firstborn son receives the greatest inheritance from his father, Jesus Christ receives the world as His inheritance. God says to His Son, “Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession” (Psalm 2:8). When Scripture refers to Christ as the “firstborn,” the message is that Christ’s supremacy, sovereignty, and priority extend over all things and all other beings. In paying for our sin, Jesus Christ suffered death, but He also became “the firstborn from the dead” (Revelation 1:5); that is, He conquered death and is the first person to ever be “born” to eternal life after dying. By God’s grace, through faith in Jesus, we, too, can receive eternal life (Ephesians 2:1-10; John 3:16-18). Through His death and resurrection, Jesus is the “firstfruits” who guarantees the future resurrection and eternal life of many other sons and daughters of God (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). As He Himself said, “Because I live, you also will live” (John 14:19). So, Given the importance of the firstborn shown here, WHOSE elohim SPIRIT DID YHWH PUT INTO ADAM’s BODY in Genesis 2:7? According to Hebrew Law (Law of The Firstborn, Primogeniture), Jesus was ENTITLED to be ADAM, The FATHER of the Adamic Race of Humans, otherwise YHWH CHEATED JESUS of the Honor of being the Physical bodily Father of all Hebrews, while YHWH is the Spiritual Father. Who else deserved that position of Honor? IF YHWH put any other spirit into Adam’s body, then YHWH BROKE HIS OWN PRIMOGENITURE LAW & CHEATED JESUS! We know that cannot happen. YHWH is the Father of my Spirit before the foundations of the earth were laid, and Jesus (as Adam) is the Father of my physical body on earth. That RIGHT was Given by YHWH! Earth is patterned after heaven.. as above so below. “On earth as it is in heaven”.

take the gospel to the People doesn't mean they will accept it , it's sad but it's true. a pastor of a Church who doesn't believe Genesis 1 to 11 is not a pastor and they his congregation are not Christians. The are Pagans and stand on very hot ground changing doctrine or adding to scripture , GOD promises to put all the curses in the Bible on them . DONT sugar coat the scripture DONT be nice about things . If there's no deep conviction of sin then there is probably no conversion. we can pray for eachother and others. GOD is still in control .

How did School boards across America become the leaders in gay rights? And how did the medical field become Frankenstein-ish? I know I myself have to repent of not standing up for the word of God Thank you Ken Ham I also have to thank Kurt Wise And Doug Petrovich Genesis one teaching His breakdown of the Hebrew language

[@pastorjimwalls5924]

After twenty plus years in the ministry I can tell you that a ' Pastor ' that doesn't have a Biblical Worldview is a contradiction in terms !!!

Are you knowledgeable about Primogeniture (Law of The Firstborn)? Can you answer 3 Biblical riddles? I hope you can handle a different opinion of scripture if you’d like the answers ;-) *Mainstream Christianity cannot (WILL NOT) answer 3 BIBLICAL RIDDLES:* 1. *How can the Messiah be the ancestor and offspring of David and The Root of Jesse?* Matthew 22:41-45 Isaiah 11:1-4 Isaiah 11:10 Romans 15:12 Revelation 22:16 (Spoiler: The answer is NOT that Jesus created Adam; Scripture records that The Most High God (YHWH Elohim -Singular) Formed Adam in Genesis 2:7. 2. *How can some of the apostles be alive on earth in the flesh to see the Second coming of Christ?* Luke 9:26-27 Matthew 16:28 “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, *which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”* *Jesus is stating that some of the apostles will be alive on earth to see the Second Coming of the Messiah with New Jerusalem.* *How can this be?* Didn’t all of the Apostles die? Crucified upside down, sawn in half, etc? 3. *How are we necessary for ancient prophets perfection?* Hebrews 11: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that THEY (prophets of old) WITHOUT US should not be made perfect. *What does “that they without us should not be made perfect.” Mean??* If they lived before us, how could WE be NECESSARY for THEIR perfection?
