Martyn Iles: Making a Name for Himself from His IVORY TOWER of BABEL

 

I have been called by God to expose Answers in Genesis as a Cult, the greed of Ken Ham, Martyn Iles (and their co-horts) and to hopefully break their influence over others.

But I have not been doing this behind their backs, but I have repeatedly sent them, through emails, Links to my various posts. But they don't personally see them because they are completely insulated in their Ivory Towers and are in echo chambers, surrounded by "Yes-Men" (which is exactly the way they want it). All their information flows in only one direction, from them to us.

When Martyn Iles quit Answers in Genesis a few months ago, I suddenly felt quite hopeful about his future (for a change).

However, ☝️ he has demonstrated through his actions since then, that he has become as corrupt as Ken Ham in constantly asking for money and is set on building a Global Empire even larger than Answers in Genesis.

(BTW AiG makes almost 200 MILLION dollars a year, gets MILLIONS in Tax Breaks, has 1500+ workers (some who work for NO wages) and have a MILLION Followers Worldwide. - Have I mentioned they're a Cult yet? 🤔)

I am signed up to receive Martyn's Newsletter. The first one came a couple of weeks ago when he started doing promos for his new YouTube show, "At the Crux with Martyn Iles" 

(I did a previous post about that. See Link at the bottom).

The email was all about getting donations for his new online "ministry". I replied to him with a Link to a scathing blog post I did and told him what I just told you about exposing the guilt of Ken and those at Answers in Genesis.

When I didn't hear back from him, I sent a few images I thought might tweak his interest.

I still got no reply and I just found another email from Martyn in my Inbox and he's hitting even harder, unabashedly and shamelessly for MORE money. 🤑

I assumed he had removed me from his mailing list (just  like he has blocked 🚫 me from all his Social Media) but the fact that I haven't been removed from his list of Supporters reveals that he remains insulated by his workers and aloof  from the people he proclaims he has been "called by God" to help.

Somebody in Sydney (Australia) gave him $500,000 for a "matching donation". That means Martyn only gets the money IF we give him ours. So it's not a real donation but actually an INVESTMENT by somebody who wants to test the waters to see how much money Martyn has the ability to raise.

(See images below)

"What has any of this got to do with Jesus, Laura-Lee?"

NOT ONE DARN THING❗️😡

Martyn, Ken, Answers in Genesis and any Ministry or Company associated with them are going to Crash and Burn, courtesy of the Lord God Almighty.

I'm just here to warn everyone to FLEE this BABYLON now, because God's patience is about to run out!

 (and that says a LOT!😳🥺) 

I've warned you (AGAIN) as I continue to strive to bring you,

"How to Know if You Are in a Christian Cult"

Are You in a Den of LIONS or THIEVES❓️

 

Let's begin with the two events recorded in the Bible I am referring to.

Daniel in the Lions' Den

Daniel, while he was captive in Babylon, refused to bow to the king's idol. As a result he was thrown into a den of extremely ferocious and hungry lions.

The Bible tells us that God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions and the next morning Daniel was still alive and untouched. It demonstrated what a tremendous amount of faith Daniel had that he was prepared to face a gruesome death in order to remain true to God.

Daniel 6 (Daniel in the Lions' Den)

Jesus CLEANSES the Temple

When Jesus was in Jerusalem, he saw a bunch of people in the Temple courts selling things, making a large profit and cheating those who came to worship God.

Jesus became very angry, but instead of just losing his temper, he sat down to weave a whip. Then he gets up and uses it on the money-grubbers and overturns all their tables.

He yells at them, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers."

Matthew 21:12-13

John 2 (Jesus Clears the Temple)

💰💰💰💰

These days there are 2 groups of Christians:

The First Group are those who remain faithful to Jesus no matter what the consequences are.

The Second Group are those who make a profit from those who remain faithful to Jesus no matter what the consequences are.

Ministries and Christian musical artists who are Monetized by YouTube (with some very anti-Christian Ads on their channels) and/or selling Christian merchandise (at a large profit) and/or are asking for Donations are simply using Jesus and God's Holy Word to "Make a Buck off the Bible." 🤑

🌾🌿🌾🌿🌾

One thing I always wondered about the story of Jesus clearing the temple is, while He was sitting and weaving the whip, which must have taken a substantial amount of time,

What was he thinking?

What kind of look did He have on his face?

Why did He take the time to do it instead of immediately venting His zealous wrath?

What were his apostles thinking while they watched him making the whip?  

Did any of them dare to question Him about what He was doing?

😶🤫

 I think we should all be asking those questions right now because Jesus is about to "clear the Temple" again

and if you are making money from being a Christian and think God is just going to let that slide...

...you have another Think coming! 🤨

You have been warned and given...

The Truth with Love,

Dr. Charles Stanley had a very large, international Ministry  ( In Touch )  but never asked for Donations.

Please Note: My blogs and YouTube channel have NO ADS nor do I have a store to "Hock my Merch".

What is Blasphemy? (it's not exactly what you think)

 

When I was a teenager, back in the "Olden Days" (Oops! 🙊 I accidentally outed my age on the internet again), I attended a  Christian High-school and we were having a break from our regular weekly classes to participate in something called, "Special Emphasis Week". Several Christian schools met at a centrally located church and during the first morning we all assembled in the church's gymnasium for a talk.

It was a Youth Pastor giving the talk and at one point he was discussing something Jesus did then said,

 "Jesus was one cool dude."

I turned to the lanky teenage boy sitting next to me with his arms crossed upon his chest and a frown on his face and ask him,

"Excuse me, but he just call the Lord, God Almighty a 'Cool Dude'?"

"Apparently." (He answered with a scowl)

I muttered to myself, "I wonder why he did that?"

The boy responded,

 "He's trying to relate to us teenagers and appear relevant."

Let me tell you, we were NOT impressed.

🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻🌿

Now let's look at the Commandment which deals with what "Blasphemy" is.

"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." 

(Exodus 20:7)

I think we can all agree that using God or Jesus Christ as swear words is Blasphemy, but the Bible actually states it is to use the Lord's name in a VAIN way that is what is a sin.

🎤🎶🎤🎶🎤🎶

I was listening to an interview of Christian Contempory singer, Lauren Daigle. She was making some waves on the secular music charts and was being interviewed by a non-Christian who was asking her why she sang about Jesus so much.

Her response?

"Because Jesus is my Boo"

I replayed it just to make sure I had heard her correctly.

💰📣💰📣💰📣

If you know anything about the Prosperity Gospel movement, the crux of it is the belief that if you ask for something "In the name of Jesus!" this somehow obligates the Lord to cough it up.

🤑💰🤑💰🤑

And (here's the one that burns 🔥  me the most)

If you have a YouTube channel that has sermons and/or Christian songs and it is riddled with Ads you are using the name of the Lord in a vain (money-grubbing) way and basically "Making a Buck Off the Bible". 

For example, I was watching a sermon on YouTube and the Preacher said,

"Jesus asked them this very serious question..."

THEN suddenly an Ad showed up and started with the words,

"Do you know how to get rid of stuck poop?"

💁‍♀️

I think you're getting the gist of what I'm saying.

When we do not acknowledge who God, and His Son Jesus, really are and lose perspective on His majesty, divinity and holiness we will demean His name.

So, instead of feeling smug because we don't use God's name as a curse word, we need to examine just how huge or small we perceive God to be.

Here's some help.

"I AM the Alpha and Omega ..." 

LINK to Revelation chapter 1

"Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’

who was, and is, and is to come.”

(Revelation 4:8)

📓🌷✝️🔥📓🌷✝️

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.  Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.  And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;

    the whole earth is full of his glory.”

 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke."

(Isaiah 6:1-4)

Link to Isaiah all of chapter 6

Now back to Lauren Daigle for a moment.

I judged her very harshly for saying Jesus was her Boo and I was praying about it.

"Lord, I've said some pretty outrageous things to you throughout the years  [47 years to be exact]  and as we've grown in our intimacy I've called you some things that might not go down with my fellow Believers if they heard them. Maybe I should cut Lauren some slack."

His response was, "There is a vast difference between familiar and flippant, Laura-Lee."

I don't know where Lauren's heart was, but when I say something I feel is taking God's name in vain, I reset myself with the verses I've given you and end with,

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."

(Isaiah 9:6-7)

Amen. 😌

Martyn Iles Abandons Australia 🇦🇺

Australia born Martyn Iles, formerly the Managing Director of the Australian Christian Lobby, went to live in America two years ago when Ken Ham invited him to be the new  CEO of Answers in Genesis. A position which he has resigned from in order to create his own Global Christian Empire.

During his years at AiG Martyn,

🔴 Never spoke/attended a ProLife rally

🔴 Completely ignored the Life and Death struggles of his Fellow Aussies during Christmas 2023 and New Years 2024 when the East coast was enduring violent storms.

🔴 Frequently bad-mouthed Australia to the Americans 

 (see images below)

🔴 Rarely, RARELY did he return "home" to Australia unless he was there to sell Answers in Genesis products, including his book, "Who Am I?", or to conscript naive Christians into his "Answers Army" whose job it is to sell MORE Answers in Genesis products under the guise of spreading the "saving gospel" (whatever Martyn and Ken conceive that to be).

Now he's trying to get anyone who has more than 2 dimes to rub together to give him money in order that he can spend his days making videos so he can teach us all "how to think".

And he has no intention to move back to Australia. He is currently trying to curry "favor" with high up American politicians to verify that he was a "national leader" in Australia in "political, legal and grassroots advocacy work".

(see image below)

Did I miss the words "Christianity", "God" or "Jesus" in his plea somewhere? 🤫

But his victimhood mentality comes through loud and clear because he is concerned his VISA application will be stopped by somebody "who really hates my beliefs" -  ( uh, you mean like ME? ☝️)

Do you know why Martyn doesn't want to move back to Australia? Not enough stupid people willing to part with their money.

It's a reflection of what Ken Ham said at the "Living in Babylon" event in Brisbane (or Adelaide?) when asked,

"When are you going to build an Ark Encounter here in Australia?"

Ken's answer?

"When somebody gives me 2 hundred million dollars to do it."

and the audience responded with laughter. 

Well, I guess there's no fool like an indoctrinated fool. 🤷‍♀️

If I was an Australian I would dump his butt. 👇 (or give him a good kick in it)🦵

"Ja know" just because Martyn's ass is higher off the ground than the rest of ours doesn't make him better than us.

But if hypocritical, greedy, corrupt, manipulative, back-stabbing lawyers are your thing, Australia...

then by all means, Martyn is ALL yours. 🤷‍♀️

Guess what, Martyn, not all Americans are gun-toting rowdies who equate LAWBREAKING and HUNTING with FREEDOM. Just FYI. 💁‍♀️

I AM: Ken Ham's Worst Nightmare

 

For decades people have been accusing Answers in Genesis of being a Cult and Ken Ham of being a greedy Narcissist, who interprets science in a twisted fashion to fulfill his own agenda.

These people are always immediately discounted because they are either Atheists or Christians who don't accept the Young Earth Creationist point of view.

Ken berates them and states they are merely saying these things because they are against him for declaring the authority of God's word.

The thing is...

  ... just because they aren't Christians doesn't mean they're wrong about Ken and Answers in Genesis. 

I agree with them.

But I'm different to them because,

🔴 I'm a Young Earth Creationist.

🔴 I've been debating Atheists and the Theory of Evolution for forty years.

🔴 I became interested in Archeology Fifty years ago.  (I lived near the Alberta Badlands as a child)

🔴 I have no close family members to threaten.

🔴 I'm retired, so I can't be fired from my job.

🔴 Money is  s**t  to me, so I cannot be bribed.

🔴 I have NO fear of death or suffering.

🔴 I've never met Ken Ham, so he can't accuse me of having a personal axe to grind.

🔴 I've been watching the rise to power of Ken Ham for Forty years.  (First when he was in Australia with the Creation Science Foundation and then when he moved to America and started Answers in Genesis  in 1994)

🔴 I am a expert on human behavior and a Criminal Profiler with almost thirty years of experience.

AND,

 🔴 I have a holy commission, by Almighy God, to help expose the greed, corruption, and twisted thinking of Ken Ham.

So basically, I cannot be made to shut up and I won't stop until JESUS tells me to.

But I'm not Ken Ham's real problem. If you go back and read the title of this blog again you will notice that "I AM" is Ken's "Worst  Nightmare"

 because 

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Cats and Kids (Uh. I mean) Kids and Cats

As I've said before, my cat MONTY was just "put down" and I'm missing him, so I find myself watching cute cat compilation videos. However, I find many of them quite disturbing. Especially the ones that involve children and cats.

When my brother, Jim, was three years old he had a samoyed husky named, Kippy-Joe. I was just a baby but I'm told by Mom that he was a sweet, loyal, gentle dog. My brother was very, uh, um, rambunctious and one day he snuck up on Kippy-Joe while he was eating and the dog was startled and snapped at him, but then immediately hit the ground in submission when he realized it was Jim.

BUT, as far as my mother was concerned, Kippy-Joe was GONE. She realized it was just a natural response and wasn't angry with the dog, but she wasn't going to do anything that might remotely risk her children's safety. Kippy-Joe was shut in a shed and the next day brought to the SPCA. (Happy ending for Kippy-Joe though. He was adopted by a family that owned a farm.)

I had a single, Christian friend that hadn't been in contact with me for several months then I suddenly found a Birth Announcement in my mailbox and froze.

 I thought, "Now I know WHY she's been out of touch with me." (Not married and pregnant and afraid of how I would react)

Well, I reacted pretty weird when I saw the photo of her new  "baby" which was actually the new DOG she had just adopted. (I was relieved that it was just a dog but concerned she equated her dog with a baby.)

When we moved to a farm when I was seven years old in 1973 (Oops❗️🙊 Accidentally outed my age on the internet again), Mom laid down one solid rule for Jim and I (although she was staring right at me when she said it), "People Inside; Animals Outside!"

Then later when we moved to the city and I got a little Maltese Poodle I named Sweetie, I got a new rule:

"Furniture for People; Floors for Pets"

Even though I had Sweetie for 14 years (from being 10 years old to 24 years old) and she was my shadow and confident, she was my PET. Not a person.

When Mom was teaching me how to drive she asked me this question,

"What do you do if you're in busy traffic and a cat runs out in front of the car?"

"Uh. Swerve to avoid hitting the cat?"

(She said gently but firmly) "No Laura-Lee. You hit the cat because if you swerve with a bunch of cars around, you could cause an accident and a human life is worth a million times more than an animal life."

I had been a Christian for several years at that time and knew the Bible backed her up. God loves all his creatures BUT animals are here to SERVE us. A hard concept for people these days to grasp. (especially for cat owners) 

Animals are not less loved by God and I will do a post about how God views all of His creation, from Animals to Plants, at a later time, but for now...

If you consider your pet your Baby, then you need to re-adjust your thinking and feelings. 

Here's some practical advice on how to do that. 

Prayer and doing a personal Bible study on animals is the best starting point but I also recommend you start spending time, a LOT of time, around Babies. (Perhaps offer to babysit for new parents or volunteer in the nursery) There is NO comparison between children and animals.

But, if you are one of those people who holds your kids (or grandkids) on equal footing with your pets (or worse, consider your pets BEFORE your kids), well, then...

... seek professional help. 🤨

Oh, and one more thing. Never, ever, ever, ever...

...give your cat the keys to your car. They never follow the speed limit.

And DON'T let them use the phone either
