Why is Kent Hovind so popular?

[Dan1988]

I've watched Kent's videos and have found them quite interesting. From a Christian belief I'm more of a YE believer but could something like the gap theory maybe be correct? Maybe but have a hard time to reconcile that when God was speaking about 24 hours segments then that's what he meant. The morning and the evening clearly speaks I think of a 24 hours time frame for a day. Is Kent Hovind absolutely right on everything? Perhaps not but I think he's got the right perspective.

And about his going to prison....I don't know maybe just or unjust I just don't know all the details and I certainly don't allow secularists to spoon feed me as to what is the truth of the matter. But Kent's heart is right on! He loves to get people saved! I don't think anyone can take that away from him and he works hard at it to! I've heard while in prison he got various prisoners saved and led Bible study groups. He didn't allow himself to have a cloud over his head nor get in despair.

He spent much time studying and reading the scriptures and learning about subjects and themes of the end times....and what he felt God was showing him. I had what he now teaches about themes like the rapture as what I believed years ago and so I'm on the same page with him there. But whether totally right about all things or not if Christians are reading this give him some credit. He loves getting people saved and I think that's a question each one of us needs to ask ourselves. Do we? And how hard do we work to do it.

If you believe God is "ALMIGHTY" then you will have no problem with God creating the world in six literal days AND creating it with age built into it. Just as he created Adam as a fully mature aged man.

God doesn't need to use evolution, since He can do all things by speaking them into existence. The problem arises when folks limit God to their own understanding, while God is so far above our understanding that the comparison is like billions of light years above our understanding.

We should never attempt to fit God into our puny minds, because we end up with a puny impotent god. We should let God be God and worship Him as the Almighty, all knowing, loving and the Great Righteous Judge of humanity. We should fear Him, because He does cast unbelievers into eternal torment in hell.

Kent Hovind hates flat Earth. He's recently turned down several opportunities to debate it with Rob Skiba. Although, I believe Earth is flat, and do still like Dr. Hovind.

I know the Smithsonian are hiding many skeletons of giants and fossils which expose their theory as false. There are many people who have had their discoveries taken from them by the Smithsonian and never to be returned or displayed. It simply disappeared into thin air.

Uh huh. And you know this how...?

Wasn't Hovind jailed as a tax cheat some years ago?

He did not think he had to pay taxes because he was a church and he did not want to work with the authorizes. He pretty much did not give them any choice. They had to set an example out of him. Even then it was not so much the non payment of taxes but he tried to falsify documents to cover up income to avoid paying taxes. There were other government agencies that had problems with him like the building inspectors.

Government workers are usually pretty easy to get along with. They will bend over backwards to accommodate people. Human nature is like that in general. If you respect people they will respect you. The Bible is very clear we are to fear the government and give respect to those to who respect is due. He was not willing to do that and he got his wife involved in that also.

I like him as a person, he is a nice guy and funny. People tried to warn him but he just did not want to listen and he ended up spending quite a bit of time in jail because of that.

London Bridge is a bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It was built in the 1830s and formerly spanned the River Thames in London, England. It was dismantled in 1967 and relocated to Arizona. The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, which was purchased by Robert P. McCulloch from the City of London. McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to America to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu. The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the Colorado River with the main part of Lake Havasu City.

Uh huh. And you know this how...?

I have inside information, from someone who knows everything about what goes on behind the scenes. I suppose you want his name right? don't hold your breath waiting for it.

I don't have a problem with that and said I believed in YE. Just don't know that Kent is right about everything absolutely that he

Nope I don't believe in evolution either.
