Am I Limiting God?

Answers with Ken Ham

This is Ken Ham, author of the very practical book Cultures in Chaos and a Conflicted Church.

I’ve always taught the plain truth from Scripture that God created in just six twenty-four-hour days. Now some people claim that I’m limiting God by teaching this, but that claiming God created over billions of years doesn’t limit him.

But insisting on six literal days of creation isn’t limiting God, it’s limiting us to believing what God tells us in his Word. Think about it—how does believing what God says in his Word over what man says limit God? It limits us to starting with his Word—and that’s a good limitation for us as fallible humans.

Yes, God created in six days—and we need to believe what he plainly tells us.
