It is sad. I’ve been watching his videos over the last few days, then learned he’s actually in jail. I think a lot of people found this man a threat, and this was one way they found to stop his word. Thank God for his children : ) I still got a few more of his seminars to watch. America is going downhill on a fast path.

It is a shame that while he had such a wealth of information on the consistancy of true science with faith that he will be remembered more for his desire to ignore Christ’s admonition to pay for the services we receive with the temporal funds provided by that temporal service provider.

I am a South African and the people over here are only now starting to hear about Kent. His circumstances are unfortunate and jailing him for something like this is madness. In our new “free” and “democratic” South Africa we have the same problem-for instance, if you are caught not paying your TV license you get a fine of R1000 (about a hundred dollars) but if you are charged with murder in the first degree you may get bail for R500 (about fifty dollars). The moral of this is to rather kill the license inspector knocking at your door than paying the fine, you’ll save R500. YES, the world is ruled by a bunch of monkeys and hence the corruption and injustice.

I’m going to disagree with you on this one, Matt. (see 2nd comment above) With the government spending out of control, I think all Americans should say, “the heck with paying taxes”. Since they don’t want to listen to our voice, then extreme measures should be put into place. This is ridiculous, I can’t believe we are going to throw someone in jail who speaks the truth, (Christ’s admonition to pay), to pay what?

As for the government not hearing the voice of the public, now all the big corporations are getting all the money, and we pay for it, and get punked. He (Hovind) should be recognized as a hero, and every American should unite, and follow. They can’t throw all of us into jail, never mind the fact that it would bankrupt the government, but just like Daniel in the lion’s den, God will deliver Kent Hovind !!!!!!

This man is in prison because of his faith. Maybe he should have paid his taxes, but it was his faith that made him a target. How many politicians would be in prison if they were judged by the same standards as Kent? The Bible said that since Christ was persecuted, we too would be persecuted because of the name of Christ.

Bravo for Kent Hovind. He has been a hero of mine for some time now—ever since I listened to him in church talking about the dinosaurs. I am sure the government would want to quiet him—he proves them to be liars and deceivers every time he speaks. It is a shame that more people are not like him and his family.

Kent Hovind is a hero. He is a man of conviction. There aren’t many real men anymore. Mostly cowards with no convictions they would stand for. Our founding fathers sacrificed their families, their fortunes, and their lives for their convictions. What do we do? We roll over and do whatever Big Brother says. The thing Christians need to be doing is praying for Kent, not criticizing him. And for the critics: until you get half the backbone Kent has, maybe you should keep your mouth shut.

i had the privilege of hearing Dr. Hovind preaching twice, whilst he was over here in Dundrum, Dublin, Ireland. He taught me a lot about 6 day creation, which I implicitly believe. A very knowledgeable CHRISTIAN man, who sadly has payed a very dear price. I posted a CHRISTIAN book to him 3 weeks ago. “PILGRIMS PROGRESS”…. I pray that ABBA FATHER is greatly blessing him, and his ministry.

Kent Hovind is in prison for his faith and his courage to speak out against the U.S. fraudulent tax system/code. He will be greatly rewarded on the other side for his sufferings. Consider those in the church who have jumped on “Caesar’s bandwagon” to be ignorant and weak. Shame on them! We either stand united or fall apart. One day it could be one of us standing before a corrupt court facing fraudulent charges. It’s nice to know the Attorney General has the ability to change the laws during closing arguments to benefit their side too. God bless and keep the Hovinds! Thank you for the article!
