A Few Answers to "Answers In Genesis"
A FEW ANSWERS TO “ANSWERS IN GENESIS”
Sermon Notes of Pastor Don Elmore
June 19, 2011
The June 11, 2011 Saturday Enquirer had another story about the “Answers in Genesis’” new park in nearby Grant County, Kentucky. The headline was: Ark Work Could Start Soon; with the secondary headline being: Tax rebates pave way for $172M attraction. It was on page one, right at the top of the first page; and it continued on to page A12.
One wonders why this organization gets such good promotions from the newspaper. And this story is not unique; there have been many stories about “Answers in Genesis” throughout the years. Many of them, front page stories!
I remember when they only had a book and cassette tape room in a very small space in a small strip mall, located at their headquarters in Florence, Kentucky. In around twenty years they have built a Museum (worth over $30 Million and totally paid for) and now plan to build a $172 Million park with full-size replica of Noah’s Ark, a Walled City with retail, food and themed venues, a children’s play area, a Tower of Babel with a special-effects theater and a Noah’s Animals area with a petting zoo. Other exhibits include a Journey Through History themed attraction, a First-Century Village, an aviary and a special-events area for large gatherings. Both of these attractions are/will be in northern Kentucky.
False Brethren
by Pastor Mark Downey
February 19, 2012
Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:4
This subject needs its own sermon, especially in light of what we’ve been talking about lately regarding the church world as well as our own movement. The phrase ‘false brethren’ is only found twice in the New Testament and I’d like to give a richer understanding of what these personalities entail. We’ve heard of false prophets, false apostles, false witnesses and false teachers, but what exactly constitutes false brethren? The mainstream churches have terribly desecrated the biblical meaning of the word “brother” with a Masonic substitute, ‘the brotherhood of man’, implying a restoration of a multicultural Babylon. And indeed, Mystery Babylon is infested with brethren who are not true to their own race and the ancestral faith of their fathers.
Judeo-Christianity
Sermon Notes of Pastor Don Elmore
February 12, 2012
Have you ever wondered about the hyphenated words: “Judeo-Christian” or “Judeo-Christianity?” Can you find these terms in the Bible? Does it mean that Christianity owes its existence to Judaism? That Christianity came out or is a splinter group of Judaism. Was Jesus Christ a Jew? Were the Apostles Jews? Were the early churches Jews? Isn’t that what is implied by the hyphen?
Universalism On Trial - Part 3
Sermon notes by Pastor Mark Downey
February 5, 2012
Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:35-43
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if there weren’t any lies? A world where truth is the only way. Bearing false witness would no longer be a means to an end. From the time a child is able to walk, the programming and processing has begun, whereby they are lied to and it continues throughout their lives in school, churches, government and media. There are some who escape the matrix of deceptions and become knowledgeable of the truth, but they dare not speak out lest they be persecuted. The rest of society lives in this ocean of disinformation. Since the majority of people believe in the prevailing body of lies, they assume that it is the truth. And hence, they make important life decisions that are all too often disastrous.
The trial against universalism will resume momentarily, but we shall keep a few things in mind before the closing remarks of the defense and the prosecution. The biggest enemy of mankind is time. James 4:14 says, “You don’t know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is a vapor that appears for awhile and then vanishes.” It is not within the power of all the creatures whom God has made to command one moment of what is to be the future. Our times are not in our own hands, but at the discretion of God. Our minds may be filled with the cares of this life and Providence will often confuse it. We are made in His image and all that we do and design intelligently must be done in humble submission to the God of intelligent design. God can and does place deterrents upon those who would boast that something is in their authority or of their own ability. God alone can keep us from our own devices and make our plans prosper when they are in accord with His will. “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Scripture reading: Leviticus 24:15, 16, 23
Israel failed to exterminate the Canaanite/jews when they went in the Promised Land. As a result of their failure to obey God, Israel were told not to kill them any longer. They were to let them live, but they were also to continue to not marry any of them or to make any covenants with them—for they were to be a test for them.
If Israel married any of them, they were told that they would serve their gods, not the other way around. That is, if they married them they would not or could not serve the God of the Bible; the God of Israel. The Canaanite could not ever serve our God. What were these people like? How different acting were they from Israel?
Well, the same is true today. The Canaanite/Edomite/Ashkanzi/Jews descendants are still here in the earth; so is Israel. We have the same people living in our land as we had living in the Promise Land plus many other different people (strangers). Is Israel passing their test or are they failing? The purpose of this article is to see how Israel is doing.
Universalism On Trial - Part 2
Sermon Notes by Pastor Mark Downey
January 22, 2012
Scripture Reading: Ezra 4:1-5
The enemy can only play unfair and dirty. And by “enemy” I mean those who would have the White race disappear from the earth and the racial message of the Bible with it. In today’s reading of Scripture from Ezra, the returning house of Judah, from their 70 year captivity in Babylon, found adversaries in their ramshackle temple that needed to be rebuilt, wanting to help them on the reconstruction project; and even told the chieftains of Israel, “We seek your God, as you do” (uh huh) and they said they made sacrifices to our God while they were in Babylon. Well, wasn’t that nice of them? But, our ancestors told these racial aliens that they had no business with them or their God and they’d rebuild the temple on their own. Oh my, this is beginning to sound racist.
It didn’t take very long for these aliens to show their true colors by hindering our ancestors by first, trying to make an unholy alliance with them and secondly, more devious tactics of withholding supplies, frustrating construction and making false accusations to POG (the Persian Occupational Government). Israel was being hounded and nagged to mix with another race; to go the way of universalism, but they would have none of it.
Maybe they were acutely aware of what happened to their brethren in the northern house of Israel, just a couple hundred years prior when they went into captivity and the Assyrians repopulated Samaria with racial aliens who, “Feared not the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.” Wouldn’t it be ironic if there were some real lions in Detroit? In II Kings 17, we read about an interesting report about how the aliens complained to the king of Assyria and said; hey we don’t know what manner of God there is of this land, how about giving us some assistance? So the king retrieved one of the priests of Israel to (try and) teach them how to fear the Lord. The Israelite priest may have told them exactly what to do to reduce the lion attacks, but in verse 29 it says, “Every nation made gods of their own and put them into the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made” and then it goes on to mention each alien race and their respective gods; some even “Burned their children in fire.” It goes on to say, “So they feared the Lord, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places [much like the nit wits of churchianity today]. They feared the Lord, and served their own gods according to the customs of where they came from.” When it says they “feared the Lord,” it means they revered Him superficially without having a clue as to why (much like the native savages that missionaries try to convert). And in verse 34 it explains that they really didn’t fear the Lord, because they did not follow after the Laws of God, which were only given to Jacob-Israel. “With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them saying, Ye shall not fear other gods [like universalism does]… and He shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies [like universalism]” (v.35, 39). I yearn for deliverance, but I don’t think the rest of my race knows who the enemy is.
Whom Did God Choose?
Sermon notes by Pastor Don Elmore
January 15, 2012
Scripture Reading: Joshua 24:31
In the Answers in Genesis booklet, “How Can I Become a Child of God?” they divided the small booklet into several divisions. For example, it starts out with the topic Creation, followed by Corruption, Confusion, Christ, Cross and the Consummation and then two pages entitled the same as the booklet. They make the same basic divisions in their museum.
In the page titled, Confusion, it makes two very big assumptions:
“Noah’s children and grandchildren disobeyed God after the Flood. God caused them to scatter from the Tower of Babel all over the earth by confusing their language. From these families:
- All the people groups of the world have come.
- But no matter where we live or what shade of skin color we have, we are all part of Adam and Eve’s family.
We are all disobedient to God. We all deserve to be separated from God forever. So we all need to be restored to a right relationship with God—to become part of God’s family” (labeling the two points are not in their booklet).
Then follows the quoting of Genesis 11:9 “Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the earth.” On the latter half of the page is a picture of a young black boy with a young white boy.
That is the entire chapter on Confusion. It assumes that the flood that occurred at this time was world-wide and destroyed all life except the 8 people of Noah and his family. But the fact that there are more languages than pure races doesn’t bother them at all. In fact, according to Answers in Genesis, Adam and Eve were mid-brown in their pigmentation; so Noah and his three sons were the same: mid-brown.
According to their beliefs, all people groups (that is the two words that they use instead of the word, races) are descended from Noah and his three sons. Every one of every race is all descended from Noah and from Adam. So, all races were mid-brown from Adam to Noah until God scattered them from the Tower of Babel by confusing their language. They all left and went with the people of the same language to different parts of the earth which produced the new races of the black, white, and yellow people of the world. This change into different races, however, only lasted for a couple of hundred years, according to them, as it doesn’t happen anymore—there is no scripture given for this!
There is no history that can verify this position either.
Universalism On Trial
by Pastor Mark Downey
A study into the nature of God's relationship towards the White race and all other races. 2 parts:
Part 1: Today, universalism can be summarized as: the brotherhood of man [sic]; all races are God’s children; God loves everyone and His mercy is extended to all races; all races will be united with God in heaven for eternity; any race can become God’s elect or chosen by their beliefs; all races can be redeemed; and the most disturbing corruption says that Jesus changed God’s plan for the ages in having an exclusive relationship with the lineage of Jacob-Israel, who are the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian, Germanic and kindred peoples that comprise the twelve tribes. With the advent of theological and political universalism, all races are equal in the eyes of God and the state. In many cases the state assumes the power of God enforcing laws based on universalism, known as civil rights, but they do not correspond to God’s Law and they don’t pertain to White people.
Part 2: An interim for discovery before the trial resumes; a biblical and historical review of Israel's entanglement with the same kind of universalism that the modern church faces.
Part 3: Conclusion. Origins of race from Adam and Eve; an examination of Acts 17:26.
Joshua 4: The Two Twelve Stone Memorials
Sermon notes by Pastor Don Elmore
January 1, 2012
Scripture Reading: Joshua 3:1-7
Today we have a lesson that most of the Judeo-Christian churches would tell its congregations that it is about other people; that it is NOT about them—it’s about the Jews. But I will tell you just the opposite. This is a story about our great-great-great-great? - grandparents and how their GOD kept His Word to them and also to us. It is a marvelous historical happening that I hope will increase your faith in God; for our God is the same one who they had, who acts in the same way that He acted in this saga.
This is a true story; not a myth or some fancy story line. Everything in this tale is true—and there were monuments built to keep this saga in the mind of the children to tell them about what happened and to keep the story alive. It is a small part of the fascinating historical event of Israel’s journey to the Promised Land.
Judging Xmas
Sermon Notes of Pastor Mark Downey
December 25, 2011
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 1:11-16
In case you didn’t notice, I spelled Christmas X-m-a-s, because that’s the way pagans spell it. They don’t believe Christ is in their celebration and they would be correct. Christ is not IN Christmas any more than the Federal Reserve is in the federal government. If you corner an honest Christian, they will admit that the Bible does not sanction Christmas and that it does indeed have pagan origins… but, but, but. Therefore, judging this Christ-less celebration with Christ arbitrarily interposed in the name of the so called holy day or holiday is justified and deserving of adjudication, even though some Christians think that it’s Christian. Let’s keep it simple: if a pagan god is the reason for the season, would this not be having another god before the Almighty? A violation of the First Commandment? “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me” Ex. 20:3. In other words, even if the word “Christ” is used, it is not the same Jesus, the Messiah we worship. It is a vicarious identity that has no relationship to Christianity.
