I share your commitment to the authority of Scripture and the gospel, which is why I feel compelled to respond to your post on X/Twitter of Oct 28th 2024 (see a copy of the text at the end of this letter). While I appreciate your passion for defending biblical truth, I’m concerned that you’ve created a false dichotomy between “biblical authority” and “compromise” that undermines the unity of the Church and our witness to the world.
You state that “Genesis 1-11 is the foundation for everything, for all doctrine, for our Christian worldview, and for the gospel.” I agree these chapters are foundational – but I would argue that their foundation lies in teaching us WHO created (God) and WHY He created (for His glory and our good), not necessarily HOW or WHEN He created in terms of specific mechanisms and timeframes. The gospel rests on the historical reality of our sinful nature and Christ’s redemption, not on a particular interpretation of the days of Genesis 1.

Ken Ham’s lack of self-awareness always amazes me. And his insistence that everybody else is “following man’s word not God’s word” when he should be saying that they are “failing to follow my words, which I constantly confuse as God’s words.”
