Again it’s from Ken Ham’s FB page.
The only perception that could be made is how it is explained by Ken Ham:
We now have new permanent rainbow lights at the Ark Encounter so all can see that it is God’s rainbow and He determines its meaning in Genesis 6.
The rainbow is a reminder God will never again judge the wickedness of man with a global Floodnext time the world will be judged by fire.
The Ark is lit permanently at night with a rainbow to remind the world that God owns it and He decreed it’s a sign of His covenant with man after the FloodChristians need to take back the rainbow as we do at the Ark Encounter.

Maybe you think that picture means one thing, but I'm 100 percent sure this is the intent ...
11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis 9:11-16 (KJV)
Taking back God's symbol - the one appropriated by the gay lobby.

Typical of this incentive deals. The locals didn’t do such a good in striking the deal now they want to whine. The guy writing this is gleeful but it’s the wrong take for FR. Politicians should treat everyone equally including businesses.
To: Rebelbase
This is clearly a biased piece with a writer who has it in for them. Anti gay creationist buddies?
Yeah objective and unbiased and fair, sure.
It also sounds like the city decided to add on a tax to each ticket after the deals were done but the writer glosses over that fact too. What else did the city alter afterwards?

It is SUPPOSED to be Gods rainbow according to the exhibit people. Only brain-dead diseased pervert minds are stupid enough to buy that absurdity...

Your reply posted: Matthew 10:16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” But they apparently acting very shrewdly!

That is so perfect!
I need to remember that. All of us need to remember this in a multitude of situations and dealings. Being a ‘squish’ isn’t the way to fight injustice and evil. Great lesson in this verse and the story posted above.
To: NorthstarMom
I'm torn on this. It sounds like the city gave Ham a bunch of tax breaks to bring in the development...a tactic I believe should be stopped nationwide, but neverless is very common.
Then the city pulled a switcharoo and tacked on a per ticket tax. My city has lured several factories in with tax incentives...but it has never done such a switcharoo.
I wonder why, given the justificatiin for the tax, the city didn't used a hotel bed tax instead...the answer may be that Ham is in their crosshairs.

According to the Lexington Herald-Leaders Linda Blackford, the team behind Ark Encounter recently sold the land on which the giant boat rests for a whopping $10.Can you say "Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act," boys and girls?
I knew you could!

Sounds to me like the city is trying to impose a disguised income tax directed at only 1 business in the city.

I wish they would not do this. It reflects badly on Christendom.

I’d like to know just how “perfect” a gospel witness this is.

I don’t know in general but maybe it did here. It just seems so... fabulous.

“...welcome to how Creationists think.”
Welcome to [how journalists explain] how creationists think.
Do the 1.4 million visitors per year purchase gasoline in the town? Do they stop at a local restaurant and get something to eat? Do they stay at the hotels or motels in the area? Do they see and go to other things nearby?
So, the only organization that brings 1.4 million visitors - cash spending visitors - to the area must now start paying a tax designed to apply to that business only.
Greed indeed!

Sometimes bible explications can be technically right and all gospel wrong.

I don’t know. The feud could bring more dollars and more curses too.
