Thank you for speaking the truth. I appreciate what you do and what AIG does. For us who are living in Christ, it is all clear, but those who try to balance "the present times" with The Word by watering things down and applying a secular world view to the Bible, all things are muddied and like a flag being blown about by any wind of doctrine. Keep up your good work. God sees your service.

He is, though too many ignore his instructions to not focus on amassing wealth, casting stones, focusing on the speck in others eyes but not the plank in their own, etc... we fail Jesus so often by making excuses for not caring for the s🎉, poor, outcast, and refugee by blaming them for their condition when Jesus told us that was not what mattered. Too many of us have lost our way as Christians and we need to be the example of love he shared and I fear our youth are being pushed away from Christ because we Christians refuse to model the behavior He told us to have.

Ken Ham, you had a good mum and dad. I have just been baptised but I found myself thinking during your talk about your mother, that I have not done anything to show my dedication to Jesus. I am nearly 60, I don’t know many scriptures, I find it hard to memorise them, I’m not making an excuse though. I just don’t know how to go about being used by God! I do pray every day, but I’ve just realised I’m not proactive in my love for Christ. I am feeling very ashamed and disappointed in myself.

[@katpoohtoo]

Death, after the Fall, is a part of Life. In fact, all who are dead are not dead in God's sight. The physical body is not the entirety of the human. We are souls. Our souls are more who we are than our bodies. At death, we shed our bodies like clothing. As far as suffering goes, most suffering is caused by other people. It's called free will. God did not create robots, nor does God want robots. No matter what kind of suffering it is, I pray to God to aleve it for the innocent and helpless. I usually don't know His answer because I usually don't know the people I'm praying for. But whatever His answer is, I am not to lean on my own understanding of things. God sees the whole big picture. None of us do. We see only a tiny, tiny fraction of what there is.

I admire Mr. Ham's gifts of speech. And will follow that form of worldview. But I wonder what language Adam and Eve spoke? And did the Serpent speak the same language? Ken Ham talks about man's word against God's word in the beginning. My Bible says that it was the Serpent who spoke to man (Eve) that it was not deadly to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. - The way I think about it, it is clear that it was the Serpent (Satan) who brought sin into the world...And man accepted it. That doing something against God's word is still the sin in the world today.

[@nurse580]

I was curious as to how much depth you would go into about the Garden of Eden, that’s the only reason I watched this VERY long video. I enjoyed parts of it but there’s was no depth explained about ‘WHY’ just the simple but true explanation of sin. SO MUCH MORE happened in Genesis 3 I can’t explain it all in depth here but simplified it’s this; SATAN called God a LIAR by contradicting what He had said to Adam about disobedience. By calling God a liar he attacked his CHARACTER and raised doubts in the minds of the first humans and angels ,eg “As God is a liar He is not a RIGHTEOUS Ruler, He doesn’t DESERVE to rule as He is deliberately withholding good from His human creation” What was this ‘ good’ He was accused of withholding ? That humans could really be ‘like Gods’ and make their own rules for living, they don’t really need God to rule ( and therefor guide) the human race. Therefore the issue was RULERSHIP or ‘GOVERNMENT’ . Which rulership would be for the best? As humans were created with free will God allowed time for this universal issue to be proven once and for all At that time SATAN became the invisible ruler of the world, ‘ …The whole world lies in the power of the wicked one’ 1 John 5.19. GOD IS NOT DIRECTLY RULING THIS WORLD ( but has ultimate power to rectify in His time ) IF God was to intervene now and stop humans suffering HE WOULD BE AIDING AND ABETTING SATANS RULE of the world and humans would believe that human rule under Satan was working ! God is setting A PRECEDENT FOR ALL ETERNITY to get this issue answered. That is why world conditions have become worse and worse to the extent that for the first time in history humans under Satan are capable of literally destroying the entire earth This is also why we are VERY near to Jesus promise of a ‘KINGDOM’ or GOVERNMENT OF GOD to take full control of the world ( …’LET YOUR KINGDOM COME’) A ‘King …Dom’ is a KING over a ‘Dom..ain’. JESUS will literally RULE this earth What was Jesus command to His followers ( and set in the context of a ‘sign of the last days ??) ‘THIS good news OF THE KINGDOM will be preached in all the inhabited earth for all witness to all nations and then the end will come ‘ Matthew 24.14 WHO is doing this and proving themselves Jesus disciples?? Most who claim to be Christians do not have a clear picture of exactly WHAT this KINGDOM is ( a literal heavenly Government of God ) , Daniel, 2.44, so they are not fulfilling Jesus clear command Jesus made it clear that it’s not enough to just preach that Jesus died for humans He wanted a SPECIFIC message of His KINGDOM preached as THIS is the ‘ instrument’ God will use to VINDICATE AND SANCTIfY HIS NAME ( or His REPUTATION in the eyes of all creation as Satan has attacked and defamed it) THiS ISSUE IS GREATER THAN THE SALVATION OF HUMANS ( it was raised before humans sinned) Human salvation is the second issue

Dear Mr. Ham: I believe in just about everything you teach. I love the ministry of Answers in Genesis! However, I have a few questions: Since God didn't want us to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, why did He create that tree in the first place, and put it in the middle of the Garden of Eden? And why did God create the serpent? And then God said it was all "very good"! Was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil "very good"? Was the serpent "very good"? I believe there are good, Godly answers to these questions, but I just don't know them. Can you please try to answer these for me? Thank you very much.

Was it in the middle of the garden or was that Eve orienting herself to it? and YHWH God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. - Genesis 2:9 Adam sinned knowingly and Eve was deceived. Both free agents exercising their choice in spite of being given EVERY tree in the garden with a simple warning about make a choice based on their perception over God's instruction. And YHWH God layeth a charge on *the man* , saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.' - Genesis 2:16-17 and of the *fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden* God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.' - Genesis 3:3 There were two trees in the midst/center of the garden And the woman *seeth* that the tree is good for food, and that it is *pleasant to the eyes* , and the tree is *desirable to make one wise* , and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat; - Genesis 3:6

[@oldmanjoe6808]

It's a simple, very simple case of the *Blame Game.* The Blame Game is played this way... "God is all powerful and thereby can fix all ills in me and in the world... but He doesn't. Therefore, it's God's fault there are ills in me and in the world." The issue is that it's now okay and just, since man's fall in the Garden, to blame someone or something outside ourselves for our distress. When asked by God of Adam, saying... "who told thee thou (wast) naked?" Answering, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. That's where and when the Blame Game started.

Believers are part of the Body of Christ. Christ’s ministry was the ministry of death and suffering. Our ministry is not how outwardly blessed we are for being God’s chosen people, as was the nation Israel, our ministry is that inner “still-small-votive” that provides the “peace that passes understanding” as we experience and accept every travail of this fallen world. 2 Cor 5: 20-21 - Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

At the 7:16 mark of the video this is what Tucker said: "We have never seen this battle so starkly set as it is now. And it opens to us, to our eyes, the main divide in America. And it's not between race, or political party. It's not even between religious affiliation. The divide is between those who think THEY are God and those who know they are NOT God." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This goes all the way back to Genesis 3 KJV: 1 Now the serpent was more subtile than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

[@paulwright6947]

Please explain to me, sir, how with such a great sermon of trust God's word to be the truth and final authority on everything. And how we must have a biblical point of view, not a world view, and you show that counterfeit lie of a spinning space ball in your illustration? In those verses in Genesis God declared that he created a firmament. And put the sun moon and stars inside of it. In the second chapter verse 1, He declared that He was finished with creating the heavens and the earth and the hosts thereof, so much for an ever-expanding infinite universe. Evolution and heliocentrism go hand in hand, both are a lie by the father of lies, and both depend on the billions of years' paradigm. Without heliocentrism (the big bang) there would be no pond scum to evolve from. Job 38:14 The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment. Ronans 3:4 Let God be true but every man a liar. "Every" most certainly includes the proven liars of NASA. and monkey-men scientists. God's people continue to try and make the bible fit the counterfeit lie of heliocentrism with absolutely nothing to stand on from His word. It's not just contradictory here and there but is 100% directly opposed to His word in every detail. Why would Christians reject evolution but embrace heliocentrism? Besides being indoctrinated from our earliest days, it is socially acceptable within the church to reject evolution, costing nothing among family and friends. But to reject the great delusion of heliocentrism you will be mocked, ridiculed, and accused of being into po paganism. The very thing that satan's counterfeit lies are rooted in. The Copernican, Jesuit, Free Mason lie was designed to put doubt into the hearts and minds of millions as to the inerrancy of the written word of God. Requiring a person to call much of His word to be a lie or deceptive at best. To deny their senses of what they see and feel, and abandon all God-given common sense, not to mention being fine with the fact that it goes against the basic laws of physics. John 8:32 You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. How is it that the vast majority of the clergy reject the core principals of this great message you gave in this video, when it comes to God's account of His creation recorded in His word?

[@kb27787]

It's a very misleading question. God does not "allow" death and suffering; they are both part of God's curse. God kills and He makes alive--He takes full credit of such.

What sort of person would murder their children at the behest of a God wanting proof of their devotion? Most people would rather die themselves than see their offspring killed, but not old Abraham, he willingly put his son Isaac onto a stone sacrificial altar and was about to cut Isaac’s throat when God relented, any normal human being would have told God to go to Hell when he first made the request. Abraham must have been a person of very weak character to accede to that demand and how did he feel afterwards whenever he thought about the whole scenario? the guilt would stay with you for a lifetime, murdering your child in order to claim a place for yourself in Heaven after your death. And what about this loving God who asked for that sacrifice from one of his followers? he is supposed to be all knowing yet he didn’t have the ability to gauge Abraham’s devotion without some display of proof. This is the God Christians profess to love, would you kill your children without a qualm if you believed any God wanted you to? I think not, you would protect your children with your life if you are a normal person. This reveals the morality of both Abraham and his fictitious God.

I don't know what land you're from, but on American land, the highest court is the people's. A common lore court of record is the highest court on American soil. A government simply means the control of the mind. This is why man is self-governing. God created man , not corporations. The District of Columbia is and always has been a chartered corporation delegated with limited authority. God never created corporations , man did that for the benefit of man.

Jesus died a terrible death to save us. We have no complaining to do. God supplied the lamb to save us and it was his Son.

[@LeonSemiPro]

As far as I can tell, Jesus just introduced one more criteria to get into heaven. There was no diminishing of the tests at all. It is frustratingly illogical. What practically was the benefit of His sacrifice? People went to heaven before and afterwards. Worse, rather than having to be moral all your life, suddenly you just have to believe in Jesus 10 minutes before you die. What a mess of ethics!

@michaelcschmitt I've read the thing. Unfortunately, without pre convictions, it reads rather incoherently. Like you reading a Veda or the Quran. Another incoherent example is a famous birth with no fame for the person afterwards. It is simply impossible to find normal human behaviour in this story. You HAVE to suspend rationality to believe. Not for me.

This guy shot himself in the head by misquoting Tucker. Tucker said that the battle is between those who think THEY ARE GOD and those who know they are not God. He did not say something about thinking there’s no God. The trouble with these little preachers is that they can’t even hear a proposition they don’t get. It’s about thinking you’re God, dude. That’s serious stuff.

[@SinJupes45]

I caught that as well BUT after rewinding and going back I have to ask myself...Did he mean to misquote him or was it a slip of the tongue. The quote...'Those who think there is no God' is quoted far more than...'Those who know that they are not God'. I believe he had a slip of the tongue, one of those things that happen to me often enough where the words coming out of my mouth don't match what was in my head. Most times, I would like to believe, I catch it soon after saying it, but there are times where I do not and someone has to bring it to my attention and I can then apologize and correct myself. If he meant to misquote him, then he is dumb for having played the actual quote just seconds before his mis-quote. I would have just read the misquote as the actual quote hoping that no one would actually look up the truth. So, I will give him the benefit of a doubt. Hopefully he reads these and can confirm this. I am careful to make judgements because Mat 7:2 says..."For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." Nothing worse than pronouncing a judgement on someone without clarification and then finding the same thing happening to me. I will do my best not to play God period...especially when I don't know exactly how things went down.

No matter how many explanations I hear, there is still no "good" reason for why God allows an innocent child to suffer.

[@TheMassdaddy]

If Heaven is real, and I believe it is, then a baby who dies young enters a Kingdom where there is no sin and quite frankly is euphoric and quite pleasing. In the film, “After Death”, those who experienced near death experiences described “not wanting to come back”. Something to ponder on. There are millions more innocent people aborted before they breathe their first breath than those who “suffer”. And those who profit heavily from ending lives are people. God gave life and mankind ended it. From my own investigation into this, I believe the answer is in our nature. If we had no suffering or if we had a “perfect” life here, we’d absolutely never call out to God. We do that now. When things are going good, we typically throw God under the seat and leave Him there until we need Him. That idea pretty much sums up the whole Old Testament. God blessed His followers, things were going good, they forgot Him, suffering and pain came along, and they turned back to Him. I had many objections (similar to yours) years ago, but after many years, I am 100% convinced Jesus IS the savior and humanity is a complete mess. I pray for you grow closer to Him and I pray you get the understanding you seek. Sending love and peace. ❤

[@intentionally-blank]

There is no good reason found in this life. Those who have suffered that and want to make the best of it are admirable but do not diminish the evil done or give purpose to the act. Do you believe such things go unnoticed and will go without punishment? Would you agree that it is evil?

[@billydavis4252]

Those who are lost to the word often choose excuses to ignore it. This isn't because they are bad people. It is because they have been trapped in the desire to cling to this life and the search for pleasures and belonging among the popular culture around them. Thus is why they make excuses for following readers who teach them that greed is good, bullying is acceptable, charity is a waste, love is shown by telling people how you hate them for being different. It is shown by the abject refusal to listen to the Sermon on the Mount and focus on caring for all people as ourselves. BTW the Bible does prescribe a justification and way to force a woman to have an abortion. Of course, we sin by making up excuses to say that doesn't count. Then we go about with planks in our eyes casting stones and praying in public to be seen to push what we think is true based on our culture and not what is actually in the Bible.

[@JamesRichardWiley]

So death and suffering goes on by itself while Yahweh observes as a spectator and occasionally intervenes in response to prayer? I thought Yahweh was the creator of all things and had complete control over all things including Free Will. If Ken is correct then Yahweh is not all powerful as Christians claim - it's more like Ken is playing a word game.

[@truthseeker5496]

No word game. No other God created heaven and earth, DNA programming and the complexity of all living and non living organisms and everything you can’t see or could never imagine. Christ said to come to him as little children. Trust Him. God said, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬ ‭ God put Adam in charge of the Earth, like signing over the lien of earth to Adam. When Adam sinned he basically handed the lien over to Satan. God is perfect and cannot sin. He must get the earth back the right way. Through blood and sacrifice. Why? I don’t know everything, but I trust God. Read the book of Job. As a human it baffles me to think someone refuse to trust God because they don’t understand something. Proof continues to build each passing year that the Bible is true.

[@nomadicrecovery1586]

Death and suffering was a CHOICE as we all are genetically formed from Our parents, we too suffer that’s choice BUT the entire message of the Bible is that God makes a way out, eventually and eternally, for those of us who wouldn’t have chosen that and want to submit our Father The sacrifice of Christ makes that possible ( study that if you do t understand why) This is a short period of time In human history where humans lived 80 or so years under the rebellion chosen at the start It is required to allow that choice to play out and for us all to learn the consequence of rebellion At some Point. Soon This window of opportunity will be closed In the mean time we have only one thing to in our lifetime on earth CHOOSE just as our parents did And if there is really a Gods of this lower and intelligence that made this all Who are YOU to question WHY? Do you not grasp, there is almost nothing. You truly understand ! Especially this Just as in the beginning, do NOT lean on your own understanding Trust the creator He’s already solved it all

Your God doesn't allow death and suffering. Your God created death and suffering. A special treat for his creation just to let them know how important they were to him. You know, in the real world it is referred to as an abusive relationship. The best advice one can give in such a situation is to get out, while you still can. Your God doesn't love you, your God just wants to control everything you do.

[@johnhuval8165]

He is the Sovereign, God over all of creation, God over me, God over you. No getting out, no opting out, no emancipation for the soul. This “getting out” you speak of is a temporal soothing balm, covering the symptoms but offering no healing and lasting for this life only. If we are disinclined to hear Him, no evidence or words will matter. All of Ken’s words and testimony will fail to convert any person who has judged God as unworthy of our consideration. The regenerate life hears the truth in Ken’s words. To the unregenerate life, the words are like clanging cymbals. Incline your hearing towards His truth; it will change your heart, your life, and your destiny, and Ken’s words will then reveal His truth to you - the truth you cannot hear, and cannot accept, if you’ve opted out.

Or maybe God made a functional world that works well when used appropriately. A clothes dryer is a good thing. Put a shirt soaked in water in and turn it on and after an hour you have a dry shirt. Put a shirt soaked in gasoline in and turn it on and in only a few minutes you have neither a shirt nor a dryer. Was general electric wrong for manufacturing a dryer that would catch fire when someone puts gasoline in it? A world without the possibility of evil AND free creatures is impossible. It wouldn't be a good world. It would be a baby proofed, bubble wrapped world with matches that can't burn, knives that can't cut, cars that don't drive, stoves that don't cook and I could go on. It would be useless, uninteresting and absolutely worthless. No, God created a good world. We just refuse to use it as directed and intended and then wonder why it doesn't work for us. God isn't trying to tell us what to do. He's trying to tell us how it is.

[@intentionally-blank]

Your god doesn't exist and here you are unsuccessfully understanding what happened there. Adam sinned knowingly and Eve was deceived. Both free agents exercising their choice in spite of being given EVERY tree in the garden with a simple warning about make a choice based on their perceptions. And YHWH God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying thou dost die.' - Genesis 2:16-17 And the woman seeth that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to make one wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat; - Genesis 3:6 Your view is proof that you're not making choices according to what a good God has instructed, instead believing you know better.

[@throckmortensnivel2850]

@@intentionally-blank Just to be clear, I was not in the Garden of Eden, and I did not eat of any fruit therein, forbidden or otherwise. I'm not sure what I would have done if I were there, perhaps I would have counselled caution on the part of Adam and Eve, perhaps not. But I wasn't there, and can't reasonably be held responsible for what took place there. By the way, what ever did happen with the Garden of Eden? It wasn't destroyed when Adam and Eve were kicked out, because otherwise there would have been no need for the angels with flaming swords preventing them from entering again. I'm not sure I'm smarter than God, but I know I'm a lot more fair. I don't believe, for instance, that if someone is convicted of a crime that all their offspring for ever more should pay for their mistake. I might have become upset with humans, even if I had created them to be as they were, so I might have drowned them all, but I don't think I would have drowned all the animals and plants as well. After all, what did they do to deserve their fate? Your God is like my grandpa when he was playing checkers. If he saw he was losing, he would sweep the checkers off the board and dash it to the ground. Which ultimately limited the number of people who would play checkers with him.

[@intentionally-blank]

​@@throckmortensnivel2850 Understand that Adam as human kind passed on a spiritual death to all descendants. Adam and Eve didn't die at that moment but they died physically many years later. Sickness, corruption, entropy, conflict, murder entered the world at that point. They were ambassadors over creation and relinquished that role through their disobedience and it was then granted The Satan. Every human has a choice to be freed from the effects of sin by trusting in Yeshua's=Jesus' payment on the cross. You mentioned drowning and the flood. There was much much more going on there than many realize. If not for the flood all of living creation would have ceased: mankind, Nephilim, animals, plants etc. Yeshua too said that in the end of days the world would experience that level of corruption again. Not difficult to imagine these days. 'And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers of the heavens -- except my Father only; and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark, and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man. - Matthew 24:36-39

God disagrees with you. We can trace the genealogy of, for example, Mary the mother of Yeshua back to Adam & Eve. This is history. This is an example of how scripture supplies proof of it's claims through history, archeology and prophecy. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. - Acts 17:24-28 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: ... Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. - Romans 5:12, 14
