Subject: Should a Christian be a Mason? |
Bible Note: Some people today are buying things by scanning their hands. [I have said in my seminar that I have had 3 people tell me they have seen this happen. I have never seen this nor claimed that I have.] Gospel in the stars (i.e. The gospel in the stars theory attempts to disconnect or redeem, the constellation and the stars from their pagan association to reveal their original meaning. [In response to a question asked of me after a seminar I present the information about the zodiac as one option. Many have suggested this in the past. Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries has a great book on this topic. I do not know if there is anything to it or not, nor do I teach it dogmatically. It is an interesting field of research. That is all I think about it. If Hank disagrees that is fine but he does not need to accuse me of doing something wrong, or attempt to discredit my ministry, for even mentioning it. Good students of scripture can study various topics and decide for themselves without me or Hank telling them what they can or cannot study.] Pyramid methodology (that the great pyramid was built by divine inspiration, and its measurements and inner rooms can be used as a Prophetic time line, each inch representing the foretelling biblical events past and future. The great pyramid is called the bible in stone, revealing the divine plan of the ages. [In response to a question asked of me after a seminar I present the information about the pyramid as one option. Many fine Christians (and some cults) have suggested this in the past. I do not know, nor do I teach dogmatically, anything they accuse me of here.] Believes in the Bermuda triangle. [same answer as No.7] On web site, He practices not filing federal and state income taxes. [Read the answer on my web site for yourself. I love my country and believe everyone should obey the law and pay all taxes they owe. I file every form and pay every tax I am required to. If Hank is implying that I am breaking the law he should show me where I am wrong not give me a back handed slap like this.] Hank has spoken evil of me several times on his program, yet never once has he called me to verify the truth or given me a chance to defend myself. He owes me that much according to scripture. Hank has done much good for the cause of Christ and I wish him well but he has handled this situation improperly in my opinion. He needs to read the "E" in his own web site acrostic. "CRI is committed to the maxim; "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." The topics he blasts me for are not "essentials" nor is he right in his thinking about me. In Christ, Kent Hovind |
