@@joshuakohlmann9731 Not really. Your starting point is what you base your argument on. If you change that, you aren't making the same argument. Can your starting point be wrong? Obviously. But that doesn't mean that you need to assume the opposing starting point because it somehow makes you more "open-minded" or "rational". That's folly, and you can't expect to make a robust argument if you're changing your terms during the debate. Unless I misread what you commented. If by "consider", you're meaning to acknowledge different starting points, then sure. But I don't think that's the relevant issue. And you are right about circular reasoning. But Ken Ham isn't suggesting that in the beginning God created because he already believes it. He's saying that when arguing for the God of the Bible, taking the Bible as your source can't be abandoned to appease people who reject the Bible. You don't learn about the God of the Bible by reading the Quran or by studying fossils. You learn about God by reading the Bible, which is about God.

Why do you need someone to teach you how to defend your faith? Why does belief in the "good book" need defending? Could it be when people ask questions about why God, in the Bible, orders you to kill witches, to put people to death for cursing their parents or lighting a fire on the sabbath day, to chop a woman's hand off for trying to protect her husband from an aggressor (and why does God add the words "show her no pity"?). Could it be when people ask questions about the slaughter of the first-born sons of Egypt (or why God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" when he was ready to capitulate)? Or about the 42 young boys ripped to pieces by two bears, for laughing at a man's bald head? Or about the treatment of the Midianite women and children taken prisonner?... It would take more than Ken Ham to justify a single one of those acts of sheer barbarism.

And the punishment meted out did not fit the crime. But what you comparing it with the kings and Judges of Antiquity or the Kings and Judges of today? When were judges and Kings ever humane in Antiquity. They ruled with power and murdered anyone that disrespected them.

Ken Ham is incredibly biased & ignorant. We know that humans have written myths to explain reality & control. The Bible could very well be part of that reality with all its contradictions, false applications of prophecy, immoral teachings, etc. Ken Ham should rather explain how the Bible is accurate with empirical Science or evidence regarding creation, gay marriage, etc.
Always such a JOY to listen to you Ken! l couldn't agree more. :)

Even secular scholars who are in the field of textual criticism allow most of the Epistles of the Apostle Paul in a debate. Which in his writings that they accept we have access to much of the rest of the Bible. So if someone tells you that you can't use the Bible in a debate it shows their ignorance of the topic. This should force them to admit at least some of the Bible in the debate. If not you can simply proclaim the Gospel and walk away in good faith. With your reason being they're not willing to accept evidence that has been clearly designated by their own piers for use in such debates. God's Word is strong enough that even when they limit your access to it, it will still come out on top. Hope that helps, God Bless...

It’s the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ, the imputed righteousness of God that comes by faith and not by works, and it’s the righteousness of God that we need to enter His Kingdom, which is why faIlen humans are unable to come to God by our own righteousness through works, because imperfect humans can’t achieve the perfect righteousness of God. We’re not going to be compared against the righteousness of other humans to enter God’s kingdom, but our works will be held against the righteousness of a Holy and sînless God, and we will all fall short, which is why we need to receive Christ and HIS righteousness by faith. There was an exchange at the cross for the born again believers in Christ, where our sìns were transferred to our Holy and righteous Creator and Savior, YHVH incarnate in Jesus Christ, and His righteousness was transferred to us by faith, Romans 4. The only way anyone is entering God’s kingdom is through Christ, because without His perfect righteousness imputed by faith, we faIlen humans have no righteousness God will accept. The purpose of the Law was not to make us righteous, but rather, it’s to show us our sìns, so we will understand that without receiving Christ as our righteousness through faith in His redemptive work at the cross, and His resurrection the 3rd day, we are hopelessly lost and separated from God. The Law was a schoolmaster to lead us to faith in Christ, and once faith has come, we have no further need for a schoolmaster, because the Holy Spirit indwells us, and He causes us to live for God, and to love righteousness, and to despise sìn. The Holy Spirit changes the desires of our heart, and He renews our mind, so that we are transformed from within, regenerated spiritually, and reconciled to our Heavenly Father through Christ.

Many people call themselves Christian while refusing to study the Bible and refusing to accept it as truth. I used to be like that, and I wasn't Christian. I hadn't accepted salvation yet, because I didn't truly believe it, I didn't even understand what it meant. I was a cherry picker and wanted to continue on my path, what felt comfortable, and chasing the religion of trusting people (in science, in entertainment even...) over God. I am grateful everyday to the Grace of GOD! 💞🙏🎉For his new mercies. I can't think of any advanced concept that isn't written about, but the difference is man's word or God's. This is why we can't explain Christianity without it. And many call themselves Christians but they chose to follow the word of man above the word of God. 😢 "There will be many calling out Lord,Lord..." Matthew 7:21-23
You cannot ‘prove’ Christianity. It is by faith you are saved. Proof assumes certainty which discounts the need for faith.

In order to return to the authority of God's Word in engaging a secular world, we must first return to God's Word authority within the Churches. We have become experts in creating our own "human tradition" and to our peril we've left God's Word aside. Most Christians today will argue from the point of view of this theologian or that one while they are virtually ignorant of the World of God.

Matthew 19:26. It is possible to come to believe in the Lord Jesus. The starting point is people must want to believe in the one and only true God.

Without the Bible, we have no basis nor history nor reference for our Christian faith. And they must first prove the Bible to be an unreliable witness.

@@RealHooksy What obligation? What logic? Every point must be cross examined, for and against the claim. The important thing is the weight of the evidence, and whether the evidence for and against is valid. Without examining all witnesses, the judgment is flawed and evaluation incomplete. And the evidence is examined in the light of correlation with other sources like history, archaeology, science, etc. It applies to ideas found in all historical documents, including religious ones. If it is logical, it will uphold what is for it, but more, takes down what is against it. To be scientific and rational, the claim not only must affirm what is supporting it but able to refute opposing views.
Its amazingly sad how people will easily believe something so they may continue to live as they wish or in their sin.

Love you, Ken, but I disagree with your criticism of the ID movement. The mission of that movement is to combat secular scientists on their own turf using their own methodology to point out the fallacy of Darwinian and Neo-Darwinian evolution. I think it's perfectly acceptable to use different strategies to fight a multi-front war and I don't believe it's a non-Scriptural idea - 1 Cor 9:19-23.
16:33 I didn't get his point. What did he mean when he asked her, are you prepared to change any of that?
You can talk about good or bad habbits whithout naming any of them because some will always say all are good and bad But i think think of any of the 10 commandments would be bad in a court with honest good people
We should be able to establish the preconditions, the pluasibilty credibility and foundations of faith, independently of scriptural testimony and witness, and in fact this parallel approach can and does work. The coding language of molecular biology does indeed point beyond itself to a non material causal agency, because a language code can not work without an intelligence to make a meaningful statement in the coding language, and it requires an intelligence to understand and decode that meaning. This goes beyond information as just being mere organization or structural functional order, it is a meta level of order, it is mind not merely matter. It is goal and purpose not merely existence.
The Bible is the truth.. Keep it in your hands, heart, and mind..
So what did the believing Jews use at the time of Christ to believe?
Amen! Amen! Amen! Do not change your starting point friends. Stand firm on the word of God! See; Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. And then keep on reading right on down to the end of Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
If you get 2 biblical scholars that come to a different conclusion using the Bible as the starting point, how do you determine who is correct?

@@rozzgrey801 In Ken Ham's case, he claim's the bible is true. His reason is the bible says the bible is true and he starts with the bible. He has zero evidence for any of it. Every other hard core pastor says basically the same thing with no evidence. And your right "if neither case is sufficiently supported they may both be wrong" because is it more logical that all religions are wrong than one being right with the amount of evidence that is presented. And latitude of interpretation just means what you think is right or just your opinion which gets us no closer to the truth than where we started.

Why do we need to argue/ convince? I think the most convincing thing is to live the christian life as Paul laid out so well. If challenged i simply say my faith is based on evidence. If people want to know more I'm happy to help. Pointless arguing with those dead set against.

Fortunately we have the Bible. Though I do think that if Christianity is true it should be still be true without the Bible. If it was the case we didn’t have the Bible I believe God would reveal himself. Which is why we have it to begin with.

I used to think I wasn't smart enough, because all these atheists are bragging about their millions of years. But thanks to AiG, I now know how to answer them and pop the balloon. Not using God's word in the discussion is the same as asking how Rembrandt painted The Night Watch and not allowing Rembrandt to answer while he is in the room. Everyone understands that's a no-go, but as for not using the Bible, we just accept that logic.

Although I don't think these are things you really want to know, because after each answer another question will pop up, and there will always be inexplicable things in the Bible. Moreover I don't see any connection between these questions and creation/evolution. But I will give it a try. Exodus is about keeping the Israelites as a clean special holy nation. So the Lord gives very strict instructions to keep the nation holy. It's not a command for the rest of the world, although it does show us how terrible these things (witches and witchcraft) are in God's eyes. Furthermore, after the resurrection of Christ, the command is to tell the people to surrender their lives to Christ and sin no more. If they don't listen, it's their choice, f.e. Paul shakes the dust from his feet and tells the gospel to people who like to hear it. By not giving children to his sister-in-law, Onan was breaking God's laws which were designed to combat the poverty of widowed women. The death of Onan's brother is the consequence of a fallen world. By the way, questions are good as long as you don't let them become a barrier between you and God/your salvation.

@@Mario_Sky_521 - I am an expert in Bible translation as well. I have read all the Aramaic Old & New Testaments. I have also read all of the Greek NT and over 90% of the Hebrew & Greek Old Testaments. I am able to make a determination on a matter. Also, in regard to this verse, it is possible that the Greek translation of the Aramaic text influenced the translator's interpretation due to the Greek word's other shade of meaning of "HOLD DOWN (-fast), etc." Or it could be due to the translator's bias, prejudice, ignorance, conditioning, etc.; which is affecting them to give an accurate TRANSLATION (interpretation). The following translations agree with my interpretation on biblehub: KJV, Aramaic in Plain English, Webster's Bible Translation, - ERV, LSV & Young's partially. Next time don't assume & think that you must be right based on your preferred Translation. My interpretation is based on the most obvious meaning of the Aramaic text. See the other Aramaic-English Translations such as: (AENT, Etheridge, Bauscher, etc.). Research what I said. Learn the original Languages b/c it is necessary. There is a lot of Biblical mistranslation or the translation isn't the best that it could be. Also, one English word can't always capture the full meaning(s) of the source texts. You're missing out. Even the Greek word KATEXO also means: to HOLD (have, possess, etc.) elsewhere. See: (Jn. 5:4; 1 Cor. 7:30; 6:10; etc.). Other occurrences of that word can also be translated as "HOLD(-ing), etc."

Mr. Ham, if you could go back in time to the day before Darwin set off on his voyage of the Beagle, and were given permission by the ship owners to burn it down if you wished, and there was no one on board, would you do it? (This can be answered by anyone, by the way. I wan to see what you all think) This is assuming Darwin would never go on a similar journey but on a different ship.
