Ken Ham's Life Size Noah's Ark, Theme Park Open 7/7/16 - w/False Gospel; And "Ham, The Father Of Canaan"

Full scale Noah's ark, years in the building, now open for business as of July 7, 2016 in Williamstown, Kentucky. Claimed to be an evangelistic outreach:



The life-size ark replica is just the beginning of what is planned. The "Ark Encounter Theme Park" is a big money, big business enterprise, and there are big plans for it as revealed in this next video:

Ken Ham Gives Overview of Ark Encounter with Latest Video Footage

[1:10] Ham: "I truly believe it will be one of the greatest evangelistic outreaches of our era..."

[2:20] Ham: "...other than the cross, we believe that the ark of Noah is the greatest reminder of the message of salvation...it's a picture of Christ our door"

[not an endorsement of the 'Theme Park' or NKJV (Neutered-King-James-Version) - video 2:12)]


A few brief comments on the above two statements quoted from the above video. First, on the statement [2:20] "other than the cross". This statement is an ark-sized problem: There is no "other than" message of salvation 'other than' the cross...and the blood of Christ Jesus shed on that cross. No one can ever 'be saved' by any other message than the blood of the cross of Christ. Including especially the message to be presented by the Noah Theme Park, as clearly stated by founder Ken Ham, of 'preaching the ark', as it were, and the door of the ark, as a type of 'Christ our door'...[2:20 video]

As the Word of God informs all who have ears to hear, it is the preaching of the cross only that brings "the power of God":

1Corinthians 1:17-18 'For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God'

The Spirit of God alone, by his power alone, worketh salvation, and that, always and only, by the preaching of the cross alone. Wisdom of words will be of none effect, nor will elaborate bible themed evangelistic outreaches with giant props like full scale arks with replica animals, Tower of Babels, walled city Jerusalem replicas, zip lines, gift stores, $40 tickets, and so on.

The "door of the ark" is not the "gospel of Christ" but is a misdirect and the preaching of it can only result in exactly what the apostle Paul wrote about back in the first century AD, namely making "the cross of Christ of none effect" [1Cor. 1:17].

For the record, these are general observations on the overall notion of Noah's Ark Theme Park being "one of the greatest evangelistic outreaches of our era"...and the plain reality that no such thing is possible apart from the true gospel message of the blood of the cross of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Nevermind that though, for one, there are tickets to sell and the blood just does not sell tickets.

One more very curious thing about this whole undertaking. Is it not strange that the Noah Park has been built by a man named Ham. Bible students will recognize instantly the name as being the same name as one of Noah's three sons:

Gen. 9:18,22: 'And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan...And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without...'

The very curious thing about this, again as bible students will know, is that Ham is most known for a strange incident in which in he violated his father Noah, as told in the verse of scripture quoted directly above - Gen. 9:22. Ham also had a son named Canaan who, while nothing is said, was cursed by Noah after this incident [Gen. 9:24-25]. This son of Ham, Canaan, became the father of the Canaanite races...all the "ites" [Gen. 10:15-18], that somehow, which the bible does not reveal, afterwards some of which became the 'giants' [Num. 13:17,33]. Which then leads into the topic of the corrupted bloodlines of the seed of the serpent...but that's another subject.

At any rate, what the world now has is a full size Noah's ark built by Ham "...the father of Canaan" [Gen. 9:22]...and a proclamation that the "voyage begins again".

What voyage would that be?

Rev. 18:4

Update: "What voyage... what voyage..." A quick addition here to the original post that had ended with that question: It is a thought on a possible answer to that question. It came as a result of a few comments in the thread for this post. While continuing on the very serious subject of the "message of the cross" having been exchanged for the "message of the door" - Gal. 1:8-9, the "what voyage" question came up as a result of a quotation from another article on the Noah Park opening. Excerpted from comment 12:

"Another quote this from an article from a few days ago on the park's opening giving some insight as to where this 'ship' may be headed as, quoting the Ark slogan, "The voyage begins again":

"...Ham also plans to build a replica of the Tower of Babel in the next few years to speak against prejudice and racism" source

Prejudice and racism are not gospel preaching items but are new-world-order agenda items. "Jesus" as "a door" could easily be a 'new-world-order' agenda item also. In fact, the Antichrist will no doubt one day present himself as "the door" to the 'new world'. Perhaps the "voyage" that the Ark Encounter is starting out on is intended to land in that new world just as Noah went from the old world to the new world. All aboard, just come on in "the door".

We'll have to wait on that one though. Whatever the case, the Ark-door gospel is a definite change of course, and definitely "another gospel". Danger." [see comments]
