Kent Hovind clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Why don't you people see that? His dissertation is from a mobile home and starts with "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind".
I love the brother, as God loves him.
Brother Kent Hovind understands who made him, and the world, and the things of the world, even Jesus Christ.
He (bro. Kent) also understands that there is a terrible enemy who uses deception to bring people over to his side to war against God, and is an info-war, though he (satan) was once a noble being, created to be pure, loving, kind, and ministering. The book of Daniel and Revelation (among many other books of scripture) discusses this very real cosmic war, with real super-intelligent beings involved:
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of
the war desolations are determined.
Rev 12:7 And
there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went
to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Heaven is a real place, that the Son of God came from and went back to. The enemy of all beings, satan (once named Lucifer) was thrown out of the place called Heaven, but was not to be immediately destroyed, for there were questions raised about the character and government of God (who rules all the physical universe).
The scripture speaks about these very real beings, and real unfallen worlds that refused the invitation of satan to join his side of rebellion against the government of God, but when God created this world, he (satan) saw his opportunity.
Heaven is not fuzzy clouds and aethereality. It is a place of marvelloous beauty, flowing rivers, trees and emerald green grass that waves in the breezes to the King of all. Creatures/beings of ancient intelligence worship Him who made all things. Lucifer was once the highest and most intelligent of these beings, who understood the character and government of God more than any, being in the presence of God. He eventually turned against God, and now uses all his mastermind to thwart the prophecies of God, the rulership of God, that he might rule, and now uses mankind, through deception, deceit, bribery to make their war against God, and it has been ongoing for 6000 years, and soon to come to its end.
These beings are real, and they have been seen even from the beginning unto this day. They walk among you, mostly unseen, in the guise of men and have even been in the halls of justice and governments, or invisibly recording, watching, planning.
There are two sides. There is not a third. All who war against the Just and Merciful God of heaven, who is Love, actually commit the highest crime, treason, betrayal of love. They use all their intellect to resist the God who gave them intellect. They use their might to war against God who gave them their might. They use their whole being to war against the God who gave them being.
Most, have willingly received the lies of satan, so that they might live how they please, just a moment longer, even though how they live, is destroying themselves.
God, in mercy, has offered pardon, to all, in Christ Jesus, that they may know that they do not have to fear death, for it has been overcome in Jesus, they can have peace with the God of Heaven, and be forgiven of their rebellion, treason and sin against the God who did them never any wrong.
The unfallen worlds and the beings therein are watching. What decision will you make in regards the offer that God has graciously made you in Christ Jesus? If you choose to turn from the offer, what disgust and contempt and sorrow will they have for one who slaps away such an offer, that cost such an eternal sacrifice as was given? The sentence of death is upon all who have rebelled (since they turn from Life itself), but eternal Life is offered in Christ Jesus, to all who call upon His name and repent unto God, and those who refuse the offer, refuse their only way out of the execution that is coming. God cannot allow sin to exist forever. He is long-suffering, not endlessly suffering. God is love, and love must execute justice, for it is in mercy that the wicked must perish. Their misery must come to end, not only for them, but for those who no longer desire sin.
I can show you from scripture these things, the unfallen worlds, the unfallen beings who watch and are among you, and I can show you what Heaven is really like. I can also show you what will happen to those who refuse the offer in Christ Jesus - they will perish in destruction, and be no more, forever, for this world is about to be filled with fire and no trace of sin shall escape.
