Dr. Kent Hovind—
Faithful Servant of God

“When 7000 of the best and brightest young men were taken captive into Babylon in Daniel's day, only three refused to bow a short time later. See Daniel 3:12. I'm sure the 6997 had good excuses for why they disobeyed the first of God's ten commandments they had been brought up with and I'm sure they thought the three not kissing the dirt that day made a bad choice, but we only know the names of those three today.” —Dr. Kent Hovind

America owes a debt of gratitude to this faithful man of God, Dr. Kent Hovind. In a day when children's faith in God's Word is being systematically shaken by God-hating evolutionists, we need preaching preachers now more than ever! Thanks to the Biblical ministry of Dr. Hovind, millions of children have been delivered from the LIES of Evolution and will continue to do so. With all the millions of illegal immigrants in America receiving free welfare, free healthcare, free education, free footsteps and free American jobs, it is utter hypocrisy what the government is doing to Dr. Hovind over taxes. It is just plain evil.

If you understand that property taxes are unconstitutional, and all the other bogus taxes that Americans are being bullied to pay to a bunch of thieving criminals, then you admire anyone who stands against the tyranny of the system. “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism”—U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. Our founding fathers revolted over burdensome taxes. While tens-of-millions of Americans have lost their homes to the thieving Banksters; our government leaders continue to give away billions of dollars to foreign nations, provide social welfare for illegal immigrants, and fund population control programs worldwide. It is evil. It's OUR money; yet they recklessly squander it and plunge us further into massive debt!

Dr. Kent Hovind was wrongfully sentenced in 2007 to 10-years in prison for tax-evasion. It is sickening when one considers that Wall Street bankers in bed with the White House stole $23,700,000,000,000 (23 TRILLION) from U.S. tax-payers in 2009-1010; yet Brother Hovind gets sentenced to prison for 10-years and his life destroyed for not paying unconstitutional taxes imposed by an out-of-control corrupt government. The wicked people who have prosecuted Kent Hovind will be held accountable by God for their criminal hypocrisy.

The vile cesspool of iniquity, Walt Disney, has been given autonomy in Florida (free from all government interference); while Kent Hovind's ministry is harassed in every manner. The entire issue is about the State's authority verses God's authority. Any honest person knows that Kent Hovind's ministry is a ministry of the Church. A 501c3 state-licensed organization is NOT a Biblical church, it is a state-licensed non-profit business. Most pastors today have bowed to Caesar (the government), allowing the State to regulate the church through licensing.

Do you know what's the saddest thing of all. It was Rebekah Horton, Vice President of Pensacola Christian College in Pensacola Florida who turned Brother Hovind into the government for not paying taxes. She will answer to God for destroying Hovind's life and his poor wife. Kent Hovind was stabbed in the back by another so-called Christian. It's just further evidence of the apostasy of this wicked generation. What she did is evil.

What was Hovind's big crime? He refused to apply for a $50 state license, which consequently required his ministry to pay taxes that he otherwise wouldn't have had to pay (if he had a state license). State-licensed 501c3 organizations don't pay taxes in exchange for bowing to the almighty government. That's not a Biblical church. Kent Hovind's ministry comes closer to being a Biblical church than any state-licensed 501c3 business. Hell is going to be hot, and God is more angry than anybody over all of this hypocrisy and government usurping of authority over the Church I assure you. Florida murdered Terri Schiavo, is an illegal drug-importation state, and has one of the most corrupt court systems in the country.

Dr. Kent Hovind's only crime was not obtaining a state license as required by heathen laws. Brother Lester Roloff went through similar battles in Texas, being imprisoned and demonized by enemies of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was Florida's corrupt legal system that tortured and murdered innocent Terri Schiavo in 2005. END

The True Issue Concerning Pastor Kent Hovind

By David J. Stewart | January 2012

       Rebekah Horton, Pensacola Christian College’s (PCC) longtime senior vice president, snitched Dr. Hovind to local authorities for tax-evasion. Evangelist Kent Hovind was sentenced to 10 years in prison and his wife got one year in prison. Horton took the stand during the second day of testimony at the federal trial, testifying that Christianity does not condone tax-evasion. Horton is a malicious hypocrite who condemned and hurt her brother in hatred (Matthew 7:2).

The truth is that pastor Hovind wasn't trying to evade taxes; he refused to take a $50 state license, as did Brother Lester Roloff, John Bunyan and other great men of God. John Bunyan, who wrote THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS on milk bottle stoppers delivered to him in prison said, “If I were released from prison today, I would preach the Gospel tomorrow.”

The state punishes churches who refuse 501c3 licensing by making them pay taxes. Brother Hovind stood his conviction that as a New Testament Church his ministry ought not pay taxes. The state said he wasn't a church since he wouldn't take a license. So they imprisoned him to silence him concerning the truth. 501c3 licensing is evil. All across America state-licensed churches don't pay a dime in income taxes. Brother Hovind is in prison for not taking a state license!

Here is the faithful testimony of Timothy Fellows concerning his friend, Dr. Hovind...

I was able to visit Dr. Hovind this last Friday August 24 with three of my children, and we met the girl and her two children and another girl she brought. Dr. Hovind had six children to entertain and teach math and science skills and allusions, right there at the Federal Prison. We trust the Lord knows what He is doing, and even the wrath of man shall praise Him. In the midst of barbed wire, concrete, drug dealers and common crooks, watchtowers and surveillance cameras, guns and iron bars, creation evangelism was continuing for the next generation of young children who were as sheep among wolves, or as the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace, unscathed; or as Daniel in the lion's den — safe and sound.

"The twig is bent, the tree inclined, and so the heart and soul and mind." If only those prisoners had learned creation evangelism from the Bible when they were young, they wouldn't have ended up in such a place, except for the Gospel's sake. Christians throughout history have been put with criminals, and Jesus himself was crucified between two thieves.

Beka (Rebecca) Horton might rage against Kent Hovind out of jealousy and hatred like Bloody Mary, but she's just revealing what side she's on. The Bible talks about traitors and those who betray one another to be punished by ungodly governments, but the Bible also promises "it shall turn to you for a testimony." What the enemies of Christianity have never understood is that God is above them and turns their hearts whithersoever He will, and He will get the glory in the good guys (like Israel) and in the bad guys (like Pharaoh).

Kent Hovind is more the victim of the liberated American women, than the righteous law of the courts. Kent didn't start this fight, they did. They were all women who put Kent Hovind away, and they never did show what law he broke — not once. Women don't judge reasonably, but emotionally, so women are most cruel when they are in power, because they step out of their created order of being a helpmeet to man, to ruling over man, which thing the Bible forbids in the Old and New Testaments. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to remain in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (I Timothy 2:11-14). Notice, this entire order goes back to creation. Kent Hovind is being persecuted by a government that has rejected the God of creation, so it will also reject the order.

Women judges, preachers, etc. are all a new thing in American history, as a result of rejecting God, the Bible, creation and the founder's beliefs and convictions. You will note that women's rights are protected today by the government, much like endangered species are. If they were as competent to do the work of men as some claim, they could fend for themselves like men instead of getting special protection like the handicapped.

People need to stop reasoning like women and start proving their facts against Kent Hovind:

–Kent Hovind is not a tax protestor (even though there's nothing wrong with that — that's how America was founded, due to the oppressive taxes from England and unreasonable demands of King George III) Go back to England if you aren't really an American by principle.

–The tax laws are fine as written. It is impossible to live in the United States without paying taxes. We are taxed on everything we do and everywhere we go. If Kent Hovind checks into a motel, he pays a special motel tax. If Kent Hovind pumps gasoline, he pays a gas tax. If Kent Hovind smoked, he would pay a tobacco tax; but for a person to say he is evading paying the tobacco tax by not smoking is to reason like a woman. Where are the men? What law has Kent broken, people? Stop the emotion, and start the logic. Kent Hovind has never refused to pay any tax he owed.

–Kent Hovind sent many letters to the IRS asking for advice, and they never answered even once! Who's evading things here? Kent Hovind asked the US attorney Michelle Heldmyer three times (a year before his arrest) in affidavits to shew him any tax laws he was violating“ no response (who's evading here?) Such affidavit was entered into the court record, and maybe that's why they are delaying the release? Why would it take ten months to release the transcript? Could it be that this judge is altering the transcript? Do all cases take this long? Why this one only? This judge is in trouble, and she knows it. Is the judge above the law? They thought so back in the Dark Ages.

–Kent Hovind is not anti-American. If you think so, you must think the founding fathers of this country were anti-American. The fact is that the definition of what an American is has changed. For most of American history, abortion was murder; Sodomites were punished by all 50 states; Creationism was taught in the schools; Judges were all men and appealed to the Bible; Money was based on true wealth (gold and silver) not paper and credit and inflation as it is now. Churches were separate from the Government and not listed as 501 (c) 3 organizations under the government.

–The Charges against Kent Hovind were from 1999 to 2002, and Glen Stoll did not even come into the picture until 2003. Know your facts before you make your emotional charges.

America is in the same place Russia was in, Germany was in, and in other ways, like Rome was in. Do you have your papers on whom you are, and can you prove it? Do you meet the current qualifications as to whether or not you have a right to exist? The Government is God now, and most professing Christians have already submitted their Bibles to their government's interpretation. Most people now put the American flag above the Bible and Patriotism to country above loyalty to God. Choose you this day whom you will serve, but you cannot please God if you're on the side of His enemies.

I wouldn't want to be in Rebecca Horton's shoes for all the riches in this world when she stands before God on Judgment Day. What a little self-righteous hypocrite!

John Bunyan (author of Pilgrim's Progress) was sentenced to 12 years in prison because he refused to accept a license to preach. If you are a pastor and don't see the evils of state-licensing, it is only because you are woefully ignorant concerning the New World Order. I am amazed how many Christians are disturbed by the very mention of the term, “New World Order.” America has been hi-jacked by a cut-throat gang of criminals. My website goes to lengths trying to wake Christians up concerning this evil in America. The Police State is here! I recommend that you read some books on the new World Order, such as The New World Order, by Ralph A. Epperson; 1990; ISBN: 0-9614135-1-4; publisher: PUBLIUS PRESS, Tucson, Arizona. Here's a free book that was authored back in 1919, titled THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

Brother Hovind has been labeled as a conspiracy theorist and nutcase for teaching the truth about the New World Order (NWO). If you are still walking in darkness concerning the truth about the New World Order, watch the free online documentary, ENDGAME (by Alex Jones) to get a crash course on what's going on (and what's going to be going on). Pastor Hovind's words will be vindicated as the United States continues to fall prey to the criminal elite (international banking cartel, Wall Street insiders, Luciferian worshippers in every position of high government).

The Bible calls the NWO... “spiritual wickedness in high places,” and identifies our true enemies as “the rulers of the darkness of this world.” My friend, this is exactly what the Word of God teaches in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Most believers today are woefully ignorant of the Scriptures. Instead of fighting against the rulers of the darkness of this world, they fight against themselves, turning each other into the very powers of darkness that God identifies as the enemy! Woe unto America's apostate churches!

The following is Dr. Hovind's account of how Satan is attacking his ministry, and how you can help...

On March 29, 2000, I, Kent E. Hovind, was peacefully obeying the command of my Creator by conducting the various aspects of our ministry when Escambia County building inspector Rene Pelotte and one assistant came onto our church property in their official capacity, without invitation and in direct violation of our clearly posted "notice."

Rene and her assistant entered one of our buildings and proceeded to ask questions about whether we had acquired Escambia County's permission to build the science building on the property. One of our 30 staff members called me out to the building where I met with the inspectors. I told them we have nothing to hide and are doing nothing illegal or unsafe, but they were not to return in an official capacity unless they could prove they had jurisdiction over our church. I then gave Rene a copy of the posted notice which explains the laws, and told her that we were a church ministry and that she had no jurisdiction on church property.

When she indicated she disagreed, I told her that she would have to leave immediately unless she could prove she had jurisdiction. I explained to her that the Bible said Jesus was the head of the church and that civil government had no authority. The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States and the Florida statutes are very clear on this matter also, as well as the Religious Freedoms Restoration Act.

I also told her that there was a long history of government rulers attempting to regulate the church of Jesus Christ and that since most churches in the last 100 years have become corporations of the state, (which indeed grants jurisdiction) I could see why she may not understand how the county's regulations did not apply to a true, unregistered, unincorporated church. I told both Rene and her assistant that they were welcome to come anytime in a non-official capacity and we would gladly give them a tour and let any inspectors look at any work we do, and even offer advice. We would value their expert opinion and experience. We have nothing to hide and are doing nothing illegal or unsafe.

A few days later Rene came back in spite of our clearly posted notice to issue a $50 citation to me. I told her I could not sign it since she had no jurisdiction. I also told her that she must leave unless she could prove jurisdiction. She said I must contact their office within 72 hrs. We sent a letter and called them within 72 hrs requesting a hearing on this matter, but our requests were ignored. The next thing I heard about the matter was the call from the Sheriff telling me that a warrant had been issued by Judge Patricia Kinsey for my arrest! I never did see a copy of the warrant, even though I asked for it several times. I went down to the jail and was booked like a criminal, posted bail, and went home the same day. I have met with the county officials several times to try to resolve this conflict. I told them, "The question at issue is a simple one: Does the Escambia County, Florida civil government have jurisdiction over a Church of the Sovereign God of the universe?"

We are not the aggressors in this case. We were simply trying to serve the Lord and the county stuck its nose where it has no business (Churches that are 501c3 corporations cannot get out of the permitting process). Disney gets no permits and allows no county or state inspections. In 1967, the Florida Legislature granted Disney autonomy through Chapter 67-764 Laws of Florida. This information is also available in Chapter 163.167 Florida Statutes, and in particular, subsection 9, which grants Reedy Creek (i.e. Disney) the same powers and duties as any other Florida county or municipality. See Reedy Creek Improvement District - Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

The Amish never get permits or inspections of their buildings in any state, including Florida. They have a long history of maintaining their sovereign status, as do the Anabaptists. It seems like this same battle needs to be fought every generation so Caesar can be reminded where his power stops. We are not asking for an "exemption." This would imply the state has jurisdiction. We are simply asking them to admit they have no jurisdiction over the Lord's church.

As a church of the Lord Jesus Christ, we answer to a much higher authority than Escambia County. We are not lawless. We believe everyone, including the government, should obey the laws of the land unless they are in violation of God's Laws. Our buildings are safe. At our expense we hired a state licensed electrician to inspect our electrical system to insure it was safe and would meet or surpass the county's electrical codes. We think the state's electrical codes are an excellent standard to insure safety and we read and follow them. We also had two certified engineers inspect our building. They stated in writing that the building is safe. If the inspectors were truly concerned about safety, they would have accepted our invitation (extended five times) to come in their private capacity and look at our work. It is obvious that safety is not the issue. The real issue is one of the state controlling the Lord's church.

For nearly 2000 years, it has been the conviction of Christians that Jesus is the head of the church and the state has no jurisdiction over the Lord's church. Millions of Christians in the early centuries died rather than submit the Lord's church to Caesar (See Foxes Book of Martyrs). It has only been in the last 100 years or so that many have bowed the knee to make Caesar the head of their church (See: www.hushmoney.org, or order the book - In Caesar's Grip ($15) from CSE for more. We are a peace loving people who simply wish to serve the Lord.

We cannot ask a lower authority like the civil government for permission to do what God has called us to do. If we did, how could we object later if Caesar asked to approve our teachings or make us hire people who violate clear scriptures? Our buildings are safe and built up to or beyond the code. We are not looking to do anything illegal. Ever since 1999, when this property was given to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have not knowingly submitted God's church to any lesser authority. Our decision to build without permits from the county was based on our understanding of the Bible and, to a lesser degree, the constitutions of the united States and the State of Florida.

Ever since Jesus established His church the civil magistrates have resented not having authority. The followers of Jesus have been persecuted, tortured, and burned by the civil magistrates to attempt to make them surrender the authority of the church to Caesar. The disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ were constantly harassed by government officials who tried to regulate their lives as they obeyed the Lord. From Acts 4 through 28, all but 3 chapters record examples of this. We see from Acts 16 how we are to handle ourselves when this happens.

In verse 19 the leaders saw they would lose money (just as county officials see permits as a source of income), so Paul and Silas were beaten and imprisoned. In verse 37, we see that Paul and Silas demanded a public apology from the rulers and magistrates for their illegal actions. We have filed our own suit against the county to force them to admit they have no jurisdiction, leave us alone, pay for the damages they have caused our ministry and apologize for their treatment of God's servants.

Even though most other "churches" in the county as well as Pensacola Christian College see nothing wrong with bowing to Caesar and asking permission of the heathen to obey God's commands we cannot and will not. Just as there are two types of churches in Russia (the state regulated church and the free church), so it is in America. The record will show that the property at 29 Cummings Road has been built on several times in the past and the proper permits and inspections were obtained while the property was not owned by Faith Baptist Fellowship. In 1999, the entire property was given to Faith Baptist Fellowship, which is not a creation or corporation of the state of Florida or any other state. Since that time, this ministry has never asked for any permits from the state or county. If it is the money they want for the permit fees, we are willing to give that if needed. If it is control they want, we are not permitted by our Lord to grant this.

I do not wish to be in a legal battle. I only wish to serve my Lord Jesus Christ and preserve my rights, and those of our church, as our Anabaptist forefathers fought and died to preserve for us. Some have said, "Wouldn't it be easier just to pay the $50 permit?" Ask that question to the three Hebrew children who wouldn't bow to the Babylonian idol. Read your Bible and see how much was written from jail for reasons like this. Control is the issue. When 7000 of the best and brightest young men were taken captive into Babylon in Daniel's day, only three refused to bow a short time later. See Daniel 3:12. I'm sure the 6997 had good excuses for why they disobeyed the first of God's ten commandments they had been brought up with and I'm sure they thought the three not kissing the dirt that day made a bad choice, but we only know the names of those three today.

They were right and the 6997 were wrong! My job is to study God's Word, try to obey it, and leave the results up to God. Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not know what would happen when they were thrown into the furnace, we do not know the outcome of our stand. Please pray that God will turn the hearts of those involved. Governor Bush is very involved in our case and may rule in our favor. We have already spent a small fortune defending ourselves in this costly legal battle. We have no intention of ever giving in. We are convinced that we are on the side of both the Lord and the law. We praise God for sending us Maury Adkins to help us in the bewildering world of legalese. Please pray for him as his health situation is not good. An old injury to his stomach in a car accident years ago has now become a cancerous hernia requiring special surgery in the next few weeks.

What the king does or threatens to do I cannot control. I only know I cannot bow and I pray I will not burn! The battle has been costly and we would welcome any support from those who love the Lord's work and freedom. Please help us by writing or calling the three men who can turn this around for us:
