Biblical Authority and the Book of Genesis | The Art of Discernment S3 E3

Drs. John MacArthur and Ken Ham join The Art of Discernment to discuss the importance of biblical authority, particularly in Genesis 1-11. MacArthur, chancellor of The Master’s University and pastor of Grace Community Church, and Ham, Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis, discuss the attempts made by culture to undermine biblical authority and the need to hold an unwavering commitment to Scripture. They also address the necessity of equipping young believers with apologetics to answer skeptical questions, finding the right educational resources, and the crucial role of Christian higher education in training the next generation.
The Art of Discernment is produced by The Master's University. New episodes are released every other Monday during the fall and spring semesters on TMU's KZbin channel and wherever podcasts are found.

The Bible is 100% true. It is the word of God.

[@gracenmercy579]

Period.

[@js5860]

These men have fought battles for decades- for the truth of scripture, inerrancy, authority,, sufficiency , and clarity. Our generation will be forever grateful!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@mariedeiter514]

Thank you pastors MacArthur and Ham. I appreciate you both. May God continue to bless you both.

[@eo2149]

Two precious brothers in Christ that God raised up for our generation , so that we can understand and build on the foundations of Creation and Redemption , Biblical Authority and Truth

[@jplifesong]

MacArthur and Ham are two of my favorite Christian leaders ever…it only makes sense that they would be good friends and big supporters of each other. Both are wonderful teachers of truth. God bless.

[@vict0ree]

This is amazing. I highly respect Ham and MacArthur. It's wonderful to see them discussing the authority of God's word together like this. I visited the Ark Encounter and Creation museum in Kentucky last year and it was a life changing experience. I recommend it to everyone.

[@bobiggy1162]

Amen and AMEN! Been following Pastor MacArthur and Ken Ham since the early 80s, and now I’m a member of Grace Community Church, and Pastor MacArthur is my Pastor! Praise Yahweh!✝️📖🛐👍😊 So very Grateful!!!

[@bobiggy1162]

Amen!

[@gracenmercy579]

Our family did to last year Spring Break it’s a wonderful experience. My oldest daughter a Junior at UMKC has an internship there this May paid internship very exciting will be there the whole summer.

[@noradohm3073]

Thank you John MacArthur for standing for truth! I love this interview. All to God be the Glory! Amen!

[@gracenmercy579]

Absolutely correct God’s word is true, it’s indeed the Word of God. He is truth.

[@user-wq5bc8hp9u]

Wonderful men of God. Obedient and determined in preaching the Good News. Just to share to parents out there based on the conversation within this segment I was fortunate to have a Father who laid the foundation of the Lord. From my earliest memory he said to me only God has all the answers. Man is fallible. If at anytime your hear a man speaking contrary to God's word you confront them or dismiss their narrative. My dad never waivered. He told me Son I am a sinful man. This world will tempt you, deceive you misdirect you. Be alert to this always. Place the Lord number one always. Love your wife, honor the vow of marriage and raise your children in the Lord. Well 60 years later I have been married for 30 years, have 3 sons who are all different and have had challenges but they love the Lord with all their heart.

[@Ken-dh2te]

What a blessing to have John MacArthur & these men educating us in God's word & standing tall for our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. Apologetics are so important in showing God's word & answering the tough questions.

[@angelaarmstrong6405]

WOW! I could listen all day (and I do from their videos) But we really need more talks like this! 🙏🥰👑📖✝️

[@hopeulrey261]

God has used these two men to tremendously affect countless lives, all for His glory- myself included. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to the pair of them and their ministries. May God continue to bless them. 🙏🏼❤️

[@nathankelley9760]

MacArthur says that the Bible is its own defense. The scripture that comes to mind is Psalm 18:30: As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

[@azmatnadeemalam3668]

Oh, what a powerhouse of theology. God bless them...

[@IRDennis]

Without God and our Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit, these two men could do nothing. Thank you, Lord, for lifting them up that we might hear you through You.

[@HanselTheFrog]

John MacArthur, Ken Ham, and Ray Comfort, my contemporary spiritual hero’s.

[@user-rj1xj4wb5d]

Don't forget Paul Washer and his missionary society

[@CraftedAV]

Pastors John & Ken, I am praying that God keeps you safe from the enemy and you can keep spreading the true gospel 🙏🏻

[@septemberbabydoll]

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Thus He is The Truth and His Word is truth- period. And may GOD keep these His servants and their families in His loving care. GOD has used them as great assets to furthering His kingdom on this earth. Thank you both for being obedient to The LORD.

[@jayamo8684]

Thank you Dr MacArthur, and Ken Ham for sharing the truth about the Authority of God's Word. And sharing exactly what that means.☝️

[@scatoutdebutter]

"... a sincere and consistent Christian life." ... great and necessary comment at the end!

[@EricRuskoski]

I battle this battle most days with friends, my younger relatives, and others. Thanks for all the resources all of you provide to help! Now If I can just get them to watch them! It's amazing how one little critique they might have with a teacher like John MacArthur or Ken Ham can lead to them dismissing everything they've made! It's always a clear red flag for me when they send me back videos "debunking" such a teacher. Tulsa OK

[@rickhanna2606]

I do also,i made a prayer notebook and wrote down all who I care about and I pray daily,also fast and pray,very powerful,dont give up,you're doing a great thing

[@kimberlymartin4434]

What great teachers these two men are; JMac and Ken Hamm ❤😊. So grateful to our Lord and Savior for leading me to both of these men’s ministries. I’ve cleaned so very very much from both. Good bless you both

[@Version135]

Two of my favorites in one place! Thank you both.

[@karmengreidanus4237]

Home school or send your kids to a literal Genesis Christian school. Find a solid church. Have daily family devotions which cover all these sorts of topics. Answers in Genesis has a great variety of materials to help families! I know it’s a sacrifice but your kids souls are worth it!

[@SiaD777]

Wonderful, God bless these saints and their families, a great example to us and so rich in exposition, praise to the Lord.

[@user-bs8ec3hs8p]

You men are amazing servants of God….what a timely & excellent thing to do & discuss to warn, and teach parents, and be well-equipped with truth; ✅The authority of the scripture & veracity ✅Truthfulness ✅Training them & equipping the young generation of Christians with answers to their questions “The Bible is the foundation for all ethics in the way humans must live their lives” Godspeed!

[@gsoetanto]

[@shanechostetler9997]

I just love the Biblical knowledge that is written on their hearts, very inspiring!

[@JSkeleton]

Incredible discussion. Absolute blessing and encouragement. More people need to stand firm on the veracity, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; it's God's Word and contains nothing but pure truth and the words of life.

[@patrickc3419]

I have been long encouraged and edified by both of these men.

[@danielwarton5343]

I live in England, it’s hard enough trying to find a good church, let alone any school that is actually Christian. My children go to a C of E and Methodist school and they teach things we have to combat to the teachers and refute to the children.

Speaking of "Biblical Authority" which English Bible is God's Word without error?

[@saltshakershells2727]

omg hi guys

[@nce8722]

Excuse me Ken! Lloyd Jones is not from England. He is Welsh, he preached in Wales and then he preached in England after. That annoyed me lol

[@bobbyw315]

Hams a calvinist?

[@higurashifamily7931]

Be fruitful and multiply. Yeah, most won't submit to the authority of God's word. But worse still, they won't repent and elevate Jesus.

[@gailhenderson7149]

The world is around 6,000 years old & 4,500 since the world flood which formed The Grand Canyan & the continents separated. There's only one race, the human race with different melanin in their skin. From Creation to Abrahan, 2,000 from Abraham to Jesus 2,000 & it's been 2,000 since Jesus was here that adds up to 6,000, with Noah's world flood back in Genesis back there 4,500 years ago when the human race & animals had to start all over again.. People meed to know the truth..

[@argerm57]

If Genesis 1-11 are not literally true, then the rest of the Bible makes no sense at all. Why do we need a Savior if there is no Adam and Eve, the Fall, the promise of a redeemer, etc.?

[@maryowen1722]

There’s a massive war on GOD’S humanity.

[@kimberlymartin4434]
