I know this isn't getting much attention right now, but I suspect it will in the future. Dedrick and I have been going over some of the videos coming out back and forth between Kent and Theodore, and we have caught Kent in a number of false accusations, as well as we have caught Theodore in a number of false accusations.
I do not follow either of their channels, but Dedrick keeps an eye on Kent from time to time, and last night, he informed me that Kent came out with a 45 minute video exposing Theodore. Of course, I know there were lies in what Kent and his group were saying. There are too many eye witnesses that have come out against certain things, and Kent is only covering his tracks.
However, there were a number of things Kent included in his video that called Theodore out on his false accusations, and they were some of the SAME THINGS I called him out on. So whereas Kent is a liar, and he still uses railing and false accusations, Theodore has ALSO used railing and false accusations in his videos, which gave Kent all the ammunition he needed to make a video on Theodore, and convince thousands of people that Theodore is deceptive.
It's Theodore's own fault, and I tried to warn him, but he does not want to listen to me.
There are a number of things that Theodore releases on his channel that I do not talk about in my book exposing Kent Hovind. The reason for this is because either the information was bad, or there was not enough collaborating evidence to support what some of the eye witnesses were saying.
This is why Jesus taught us:
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
-Matthew 18:16Even in the Old Testament, crimes were not punished unless there were two or three witnesses that could verify what was happening. There are a number of things that have been said by some of the eye witnesses Theodore is interviewing who are the only ones saying those things. Do not misunderstand, it is not wrong to interview those people, nor to provide quotes from them, because I do the same thing in my teachings, but the difference between myself and Theodore is that I do not jump to conclusions about the matter, nor do I lie and falsely accuse others in order to get clicks and subscribers.
For example, there are some things I am tempted to cover in a video later on that will demonstrate how Theodore deceived everyone in a video he called, "
Kent Lied About Jeffrey Dahmer to Make Money," and in it, he claims that Jeffrey Dahmer was not saved as he claimed to be on in a television interview. Theodore claims that Kent lied about it to deceive everyone into supporting his ministry.
The part that is believable is that Kent used that situation to help him get more donations and sell more DVDs; I have no doubts about that. However, when Dedrick and I analyzed the video, we looked up the references that Theodore was using in that video, and in summary, what Theodore did was take testimonies and reports about Dahmer two years prior to when he said he was saved, and used that against Dahmer to say that he was never saved.
If all of us were judged by the things we said and did before we were saved, none of us would be saved. Why Theodore thought it was good and responsible to judge a man's actions before he claimed to be convert, I don't know, but he is just making the entire problem worse, he is ruining his own ministry, and he's making my job harder.
It is possible that Dahmer was not saved, and that the entire thing was a media stunt. However, it is true that Dahmer watched Kent's videos because Dahmer's dad contacted Kent and told him it was Kent's seminar series. So Kent did not lie about that. On top of that, Theodore put more trust in the testimony of the man who killed Dahmer, and not only did that man kill Dahmer, he killed other people too. Theodore put all his eggs into one basket, or rather, he put all his trust into the testimony of one man who kills people on a whim. (I'm not saying that the murderer is lying, and perhaps his testimony was true, but we do not have the evidence to prove anything one way or another, and there were no other eye witnesses.)
Theodore does these things deceptively for click bait, and frankly, it's sickening. I want to believe that Theodore is saved Christian, but he is not acting like it, and I'm staying away from him as much as I stay away from Kent. Again, when there is leaven, we should depart. Theodore is leavened, he makes excuses for it, and will not repent.
I'm not sure what I will do yet, but I'm considering making a special video on that later to prove the point. I hope that it might lead Theodore to repentance because he is acting out of malice more than anything else because he let the sun go down on his anger.
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
-Eph 4:25-27
