- What is the biblical explanation for death and suffering? Is God unjust or unloving for allowing so much of it in the world? In this presentation, I answer these questions as a Bible-believing Christian.

Tucker actually said, those that think they are God and those that know the aren’t, which is even more accurate
Please pray for the salvation of my adult son and daughter whom I failed to raise in The Lord.
Parents are seed planters for God. Your children have free will. The best thing you can do is keep praying for them and share your faith.
Prayed for your family.
You haven’t failed, everyone has free will. Just pray for their salvation. I will pray for you too brother
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for all three of you!
I did the same but I try to show him Jesus now
I have no profound thing to add, just want to thank Ken Ham for his work. Ken really was instrumental in my return to Christ by explaining things I struggled to understand.
Tucker Carlson said “ the battle is between those who THINK THEY ARE God and those who KNOW THERY ARE NOT God”. He didn’t say, as Ken Ham quotes ‘….those who think there IS God and those who think there IS NO God’. There is a difference.
Same thing!
@@heels-villeshoerepairs8613 it's not the same thing friend.. think about it.. there are people in this world who think they are God's, and they couldn't care less whether or not GOD exists.
@@RyanSymonsBut those people think they themselves are gods.
Yes.. I picked that up too.. ✝️
We get the point. Sheesh.
Excuse me , but you misheard Tucker.,,,
He said "It's the difference between people who think they ARE God and people who KNOW they ARE NOT God "
Yes, you’re correct. I had to go back and listen to this again to see if i misheard. Best wishes 🙏
I agree, it's what I heard.
Yes, he has misquoted what Tucker said.
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.
Well said 👏 Peace to you from God Our father
Amen❤
Yes
Amen and amen
YOU TAKE THAT BACK ! ! !
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.
Glory to our Father God! What an incredible family legacy! A heart for Jesus Christ gives us an abundant life🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
He's kind of behind the times: people don't dismiss the Bible any more, they are actively hostile toward it.
Seriously? The Bible is dismissed now more than ever.
@@wsells Oh they dismiss it, I mean that it's worse: they think the Bible is evil
@@christophertaylor9100 Oh ok, I misread that then👍🏻
Big time
We are not actively hostile toward the bible. We are indeed actively hostile toward the bible-thumping fundamentalists who want to see a nationalist theocracy imposed on all the rest of us. The bible is merely a quaint reminder of the power of mythology.
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.
I feel the same I'm 75yrs. I just pray everyday for God to reveal to me how to best serve him. He will direct. I've known the lord since I was 17yrs. I've learned and still learning to trust him
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
The apostle Paul was talking about sometimes having plenty and sometimes living in lack. The verse means "I can ENDURE all things..." It is seldom taught that way, but usually taken out of context.
Wonder of wonders, , this testimony of grace!
I know this is like 3-4 years later, but I love how it’s always my body my choice when it comes to abortion, but when it came to the vaccine, it wasn’t my body my choice. I chose not to get the vaccine and I got terminated from my job (Department Of Education in NYC) and now I’m working in a Christian daycare, not making anywhere close to the amount of money I was making but I didn’t need to get the vaccine and I get to work in a place where I not only can share the gospel if I wanted to, but the gospel is all over the building and I can walk around with my Jesus shirts ETC … Gods Will and His Plan
Thank you Ken Ham
Praise the Lord!! 💖
Hallelu Yah! May your prayer be like Jabez'.
And Jabez is honoured above his brethren, ... And Jabez calleth to the God of Israel, saying, 'If blessing Thou dost bless me, then Thou hast made great my border, and Thy hand hath been with me, and Thou hast kept me from evil -- not to grieve me;' and God bringeth in that which he asked. - 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
I know of 3 healthy people who died 4 days after the Fizzer vaccine. I know of a doctor who lost her job because she refused to get the vaccine. The whole fiasco was just to line the pockets of Bill Gates and Co. The Russian vaccine was safer but governments of western nations prohibited it. .
Yes, it's My body my choice, but baby's life, no choice. It's murder to suit the convenience of the mother.
The same people then condemn Hitler and Putin and imagine they wouldn't do Hitler's work for him.
What I heard Carlson said was the divide is between people who thinks they’re God and those who know they’re not God
I pray for GOD to forgive for I did not raise my children right I was steeped in sin sin. I came to Christ late in my life and most of my children are living without Christ. Sins of the fathers and the mothers passed on for generations. 😢
You came to Christ late in life, it can happen to your children, too. Plant the seeds. He will water them. ❤️
How would your life change to find out that passage doesn't mean what is often believed?
Has God forgiven you? /watch?v=wFjOWTsyCWE
so blessed by this teaching video, brother! and thank you for sharing these precious personal videos! Praise God for His mercy on us!
Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Praise and thanks be to the Lord my God and Savor.
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.
To God be the Glory, Obey his word. Thank you for sharing this clarification of Life and Death in the world today.
39:00 mark is a powerful answer to those who question a God who allows pain and death in this world. This minute would make a great short video.
My dad put his arms up in the air in the moment before he died too. His mouth was moving like he was talking, but no sound came out of his mouth.
I never question God. God made a perfect universe. Man destroyed it with sin.
Love the truth you share from God's word keep it on brother.
I loved your podcast and it encouraged me greatly to leave a legacy to my kids and grandkids that faith in Jesus is the most important thing in life. God wishes none should perish! Jesus came to save us. He is the way the truth and the life. No one gets to the father but by him. My faith is in Jesus and i have something to look forward to when this life on planet earth is over. I love Gods love , that he would die so i might live.,and the peace that he gives me. I feel so blessed even though there is suffering and pain in growing old. Thankful for you and your family and your ministry! God Bless you! 🙏
A beautiful legacy your mother has.
11:20-11:26
Thank You and Amen, for boldly saying what few will about this wicked Jezebel.
"It's simpler than you think"
*Hour long video*
(This just translate whith Google sorry if somethin it's wrong) I'm from Cuba, a country full of lies and idolatry, but with a growing church although still with difficulties and like in almost all countries, with many differences of beliefs, but always maintaining a fervent faith in our savior Jesus. I am always amazed to see how there are people who directly confront lies and call them by name for what they are, "lies." I am a 23-year-old young man (single😅) and I always had a certain fear of one day having a son and not knowing how to teach him in the correct way, even more, when with the pass of time the lies are told as truth and the truth as if it were a lie. But I have hope that the wisdom that has been in my parents, that wisdom God will also put in me and I will also be able to leave a legacy such as these anonymous heroes of faith like Mr. Ken's mother and brother. It fills me with joy to see the work of God in their lives. I ask God to allow me one day to be present at one of his services or conferences,but there is still to much to do here in my country, glory be to God forever, amen.
This is excellent teaching. Thankyou.
Nice family Ken. Thank you for sharing your life story and your Mom and brother's wisdom. This is most definitely a sin cursed life, which is what makes our home going so much more appealing.
Excellent! Thank you so much for this, it was helpful and encouraging. Your teaching style is engaging. Very well done.
Thank God for Ken Ham - thank you, Ken Ham, for go about our Father's work - you are a well full of refreshing knowledge -
What a beautiful sermon thank you brother l want everyone to see this
@aigkenham your mother is a beautiful soul, and so are you ❤☦🕊
Paul in the Isle of Papmos, shook the venomous snake off, healed the father in law, healed many who were sick who lived on Papmos. Acts 10:38. Legacy.....Notable miracles or doubt and unbelief?
Amen in Christ God Bless you All be safe in Christ ps John 3:16 HOLY KING JAMES BIBLE VERSE My favorite ps Ken Ham Jeff Setzer Skip Tilton
Thank you Ken, and team.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and SHARE this video .
Sadly, MANY Christians DON'T understand this.
Brilliant.
God "allows" it because He is God, and humans are not.
That's the BEST answer.
#God bless you #KenHam for being the means by which #Gods Will be done. Perfect presentation from Australia
Religion robs, kills and destroys. (John 9:40-10:10) He allows people to have a free will and some use theirs for evil. If you're not led by The Spirit, you're under The Written Law. (religion - Gal. 5:18-21)
You are right; religion robs, kills and destroys. Anyone who believes in "The Spirit" is by definition practicing a religion.
Actually it's the devil, who steals, kills and destroys. Religion can be empty. But it can also lead people to truly come to Christ. Don't throw the baby away with the bath water. And stop replacing the word of God with your own thoughts.
@@gardenjoy5223 You don't think the devil is behind religion? Did you look up the Scripture?
@@daniellesomerfield8799 Did you? Have you not even read the Bible once??? God came up with rituals, that are mandatory. Like being baptized on faith in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's IS part of religion.
Of course there are religious practices, that are not of God. Or people hide behind laws, in hope to gain their own salvation that way.
But you can't just throw religion and it's practices out, without also throwing God out. Then you become your own reference and little god. Very much a new age path.
@@gardenjoy5223 Any way to God other than through Jesus is religion.
7:40 he said "the divide is between people who think they are god, and those who know they are not... "
Lovely
I am glad I found Ken Ham again. YThad not notified me forever.
Good Message, Listen to.Ken Ham??? Speaks with Great wisdom about the Lord and Creation?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your Mum was a great Woman.
I ❤ your video!!
#Christian4life
What Tucker said is as follows: The divide is between rose who think they are God and those who know they are not God.
You made up the stance of anyone opposing your views to make it easier to dismiss them. People who don't believe in god, don't think they are a god themselves. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Only our Creator has the intrinsic authority to define what is good, and what is evil.
When we choose to deny Him exclusive moral standing, we become usurpers and effectively declare that we ARE a little-g god.
I need prayers I love my kids but don't have the money to keep staying with them.there mother is money hungry. I love my babies
You comment makes no sense, but I've just prayed for you.
2 or 3 hours? Practical and informative.
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.
The Bible (New Testament) said sin came into the world by one man. The Bible says it and I believe it
@@happycook6737 Truth, what I meant was the Serpent that brought sin to man. Man must have gotten it from somewhere. Do not you think?
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
Hot got what Tucker said a little wrong.
Best answer: 'Why does God allow Life and Prosperity?'
Please someone help me. There was a video I commented on About Homosexuality and The girl said she was atheist. I want to Show her this video but I don’t know how to go about explaining it.
God neglected to install the morality setting in Adam and Eve, yet punished them for disobeying an arbitrary rule
@@Charlie94781 It was not an arbitrary rule. You need to re-read Genesis.
@@Charlie94781 Just your thinking or any basis for your claim?
@@Raintiger88 God made Adam and Eve, set them in the Garden of Eden, along with every animal that "God" first placed before Adam to name, including the Serpent.
Adam and Eve were told by God not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and left the two to their own devices.
The Serpent came and told Eve to try the Fruit of the tree.
Before eating from the tree, Adam and Eve would not have intrinsically known that going against what God told them was wrong, as they would not yet had that level of self-awareness.
That's why they scrambled to cover themselves once they both realized they were naked.
You barely even understand your own book of fables.
@@Charlie94781 I just wish more religious folk would realize that...
It is so painfully obvious, to the point it's absurd that anyone still follows these age-old lies and stories.
If anyone reads these comments you either need to take this video down or add a disclaimer at the beginning. Tucker Carlson was misquoted and this will lead to more scoffing from the non believers - if there are any here.
About the phrase on God is in control, kindly give details what that means
It means that God is sovereign (insofar as He isn’t influenced by anything nor anyone besides Himself), does not learn anything, is surprised by anything, or have a Plan B
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.
Life is a test. God gave us free will. Loving parents are the closest thing to how God is testing us. Should God fix everything for us? Should a parent fix everything for their children?
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
Vote for what they do NOT what they say
You don’t need an absolute person to tell you right from wrong
That’s saying whoever has the most power gets to say what’s right and wrong and we don’t work on that
We always have and we always do tell what’s right and wrong depending on the effect
We know what’s right and wrong
The battle is between evidence vs a book you need to prove it’s god rule
Look at the stupidity in the world today. What people FEEL is what they are, or so they say. Utter stupidity. Young people are maimed, because they start to believe lies about themselves. Then, after they are sterilized, many realize at some point that they've been tricked. But than it's too late.
This world is constantly selling you as right, what is wrong and vice versa!
Surely, this is all true. But still I don't have an answer to my personal suffering. For when one is ill for a prolonged time, when one is in the prime of his years, that's loss and loss only. When a debilitating disease forbids you to do anything good or maybe half of a percent of what you otherwise would have done, it is a grave loss.
To me it would be better to have died and be with the Lord. This sick earthly body is but a prison, keeping me house bound. I still have no clue why God has built me up, to now let me dwindle away so slowly. I believe God heals today. Yet, somehow I wasn't among the healed yet. And it's taking so long, well over a decade already. Where others find two weeks of flu unbearable.
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.
Where is it written ~God can fix all ills in me?
@@intentionally-blank Can you not read? The statement pertains to atheists who blame God for having the ability to fix all the atheists ill, but doesn't.
I must address the comment you made quoting Tucker Carlson, Mr Ham; I have great respect for you but you misquoted him. He said the divide between the two parties is, those who think they are God and those who know they are Not God.
Not that there is no God. I think this is a critical point that must be clarified.
Either you believe the word of God or you don't. If you don't then you will never understand what it means and will knowingly or unknowingly work against it.
In the end .....God wins that war
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.
Notice the text in verse 5 says, "little g" plural gods not Capital singular God.
That is the English translation. The Hebrew text does not have capital letter
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.”
Ken misunderstood what Tucker Carlson said.
Does the bible say anything about a pre adamic civilisation?
No. Not at all. It says how God created the heavens and the earth. Just read Genesis 1 and see what God created in the three first days. Bit hard on a 'pre-adamic' civilization to live without light, don't you think? And to live without an expense to breathe in. And to live completely and always under water. Etc.
I know that my life isn’t important to god. That when certain things transpire by the will of humans..no good can come from trying to understand when your a mere simple, irrelevant person.. I can’t ever rejoice in suffering, Its sad when people hurt.. But to try and understand that your life is worth very little to a god your Pray to.. I’ll never understand… but I know that my efforts are nothing. That Is a difficult thing to live with. That you had an idea, a hope, a dream…and it was just your thoughts while others had a plan.. I get it.. I’m an idiot, weak and foolish to believe god actually cares.
Isaiah 45:7. form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. [8] Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
God doesn't allow things....He does it for a much greater purpose
Why dusten he say that you go to the lake of fire
Leticia James is alive today because her mother chose life.
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?
You didn’t relay Tucker’s words correctly and water represents Holy Spirit!
Why did u mis quote Tucker
Because he's human? And thus fallible? In fact, what Tucker really said, was even worse. Doesn't affect the flow of the message.
Add a comment…
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. Did God simply "allow" Uzzah to die when he touched the ark? Just because sinners revolt against the idea does not mean God's preachers have a right to obscure the truth!
Bold truth
Agency is the answer. The end.
no count on likes?
Mothers for Roe, how sick is that?
If that’s the best answer I’d hate to see the best one 🤦🏻♂️
Tucker said the two groups were 1. Those that think they are God and 2. Those that know they are not God. That is not the same as those that believe in God and those don't believe, Really not sure he needed to be brought into this. Were you wrong on purpose or was it a mistake?
Hell cannot be separation from
God because He is omnipresent
Come on....
God is able to withhold Himself from those, who didn't want Him.
That’s right. Start with a narrow, literalist interpretation of Genesis 1-11, which is itself a collection of writings by various authors , separated by hundreds of years, (Yes, that’s right, the book of Genesis has more that one author. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are written by separate authors in totally different contexts and neither were written by Moses).
Take this literalist interpretation, when the Hebrew Tanakh was never written to be read that way.
And then what do we do with this abomination, this perversion of the text? We take the entirety of the history of the Universe, the history of humanity, the history of our mind-blowingly complex planet earth and the complex ecological web of life that it sustains, we take all morality, all the history of human spirituality and religion or ethics and morality, of philosophy, culture and art…and what do we do with all this learning and knowledge, with our realisation that we haven’t even began to scratch the surface in terms our understanding of the origins of the all this, of the Universe and life in earth?
What do we do with all of this? What we do as fundamentalists and evangelicals, is to say that all of the above must now be crammed into our rigid 17th Century, Western European enterpretation of of the text of another religion which we have borrowed without respecting or understanding. That somehow we can shoehorn the whole of reality into this reused and demented worldview that is itself derived from ignorance and upheld by charlatans.
And why? Why would we commit an act of such profound idiocy?
We do it because it provides us with a simple answer to an infinitely complex problem. We do it because it gives us the illusion of certainty in a frightening world. We do it because we like rigid boundaries imposed from above. We do it because we feel safer with the black and white moralism if legalism over the costly process of emotional and psychological growth, of empathy for the suffering of others and because we prefer to be always in the right rather than the vulnerability and humiliation of recognising that we don’t always have all the answers and that that’s OK.
But most dangerous of all we do it for the reason that this is the worldview of our tribe and we need to have this tribe win and so we intend to impose our worldview on the rest of the world so that we, our group can be supreme.
This is the childishly toxic nature of group dynamics and it leads to war and suffering. It is an evil and not a good and it’s becoming the dominant force in North American political religious culture and it threatens to destroy democratic civilisation, destabilise geo-politics and is already more than halfway to killing all life on earth.
The very evils that Christians see as a result of sin in the world are in fact a direct consequence of their own belief system.
We need to see suffering from God's perspective. God is good. Suffering is good. Problem solved.
Except, that's not what the Bible teaches. You didn't solve a problem. You just spoke after the devil's heart.
NO.. Tucker said.. those that think that they are God.. and those that know They are not God
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.
It's called sin, that's the reason for death and suffering.
Ken, you are one of the best teachers although you missed what Tucker said. He said “the battle is between the ones who think they’re God with those who know they’re NOT 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. Who do you think Jesus was condemning for making his father's house into a den of thieves? The same men who are doing the same things now are that beast created to be destroyed.
It s good God allows the evil...why. Because we are evil ..we are bad .not perfect..we don t deserve to live..we are sinners under the Death penalty of sin..and we. Are the seed of Satan.. Adam sell his rigths to Satan...All líneage of Satan is Lost ..we needed a Savior.. Jesus is our death penalty substitute and sin offering..to be save just believe in Jesus and trust in his perfect blood shed on the cross to forgive our sins past presente and future impossíble to lose salvation
❤
perhaps Godly marriage is more fitting than Christian marriage...shalom...
What are the distinctions you've make between the two?
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.
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!
Read your Bible! It’s all in there! Yes you can be forgiven at the last minute! Many parables about this!
@@michaelcschmitt It needs a continuity editor to make sense of it. Why don't you try to explain what the sacrifice was for.
@@LeonSemiPro the sacrifice was for the sin of Adam and all of his descendants! It doesn’t need any changes what so ever! There is not editing needed! You learn the Bible through reading it and having a relationship with your maker!
@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.
Why are you misquoting tucker. Hard to find this credible when you misquote things
There is a huge war on women. We want to get educated and and work but we also want to stay home snd homeschool our children. Its so gard tonlive on one income thati s taxed to death.
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.
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.
This "best" explanation is not a good one, since it assumes that even little children and babies somehow deserve to suffer and die from cancer, starvation, disease, abuse, etc. because of "orignal sin" or sins of adults. That explanation makes no sense, especially since God supposedly can at any moment heal or remove the pain from these children.
No matter how many explanations I hear, there is still no "good" reason for why God allows an innocent child to suffer.
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. ❤
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?
***please stop to think about God as a human or a magician, God is a Spirit so! think about God as so; if you can understand what a spirit is, I doubt...***
Because he only exists in his followers mind so is unable to do anything about it. They think he is all powerful but he can only achieve what they are able to do on his behalf.
There are so many historical events your explanation does not account for. How would you 'test' for an invisible world, existence beyond your senses?
If we didn't die, it would be an ecological catastrophe; there would be far too many people on earth. We would exceed the earth's capacity to provide us with resources. For animals, death is an integral part of nature. Predators kill to eat. Their excrement nourishes the soil . .
So do we. In fact, we're predators too. In the Canadian Nod, the Inu hunt caribou and seals. These are their main sources of food.
For most of the planet, since the agricultural revolution and especially since the industrial revolution, the hunting function has more or less disappeared. Most of what we eat therefore comes from farmers and breeders.
So, stop taking everything back to the Bible.
There are other explanations that should be given so that people understand that they are in a complex environment that we should respect. If we don't respect our environment, it could spell disaster in the not-too-distant future.
For example, the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica could melt, causing a gradual rise in sea levels. This will flood the coastal plains where most people live.
