UPDATE September 20, 2017
.
Following is the substance of the exchange between Joseph & Robert via Robert Stanley’s FaceBook page on September 19, 2017.
.
UPDATE October 8, 2017
.
Joseph Edward has indicated his response, his first affirmative or other statement, will be posted to the comments section of this page.
.
Waiting!
.
UPDATE 10/13/2017 – Joseph Edward Withdraws!

UPDATE October 14, 2017

.
My Response To The Above
.
The following response has been posted on numerous FaceBook pages.
.
I just noticed that Joseph Edward “shared” my post to his page and added the following comments:
https://www.facebook.com/josephedwardhughes/posts/1972481829693166
.
(Begin quote.)
.
I (Joseph Edward) withdrew from the debate
because I felt led to no longer do this debate,
and the LORD confirmed it with multiple people
advising me to not do this.
.
God’s Will be done, and
He has led me to not participate in this debate.
.
(End quote.)
.
That’s simply not true, but I would like to find out who the cowardly sorts are that advised Joseph and what, specifically they advised apart from “don’t do it”.
.
The reality of it the matter is that God and Joseph and I know that Kent’s claim regarding “structuring” is false and Joseph had nothing to offer that could be reasonably concluded to be any kind of legal basis for what Kent and his people have been claiming for years.
.
Shame on Joseph and his advisers who are trying to lay it off on God when they could have, should have simply come out publicly and admitted they could NOT, NOT, NOT defend Kent Hovind’s false legal narrative.

My Response To The Above
Joseph Edward v. Robert Baty
.
Update!
.
Propositions for Discussion (after the “structuring” position Joseph Edward pledged himself to defend is resolved):
.
#1
.
The LORD confirmed Joseph Edward’s decision to withdraw from the debate with Robert Baty with multiple people advising him to not do it.
.
– Joseph Edward: Affirm
– Robert Baty: Deny
.
#2
.
Robert Baty’s denial of the above claim by Joseph Edward is an unrighteous and invalid judgement.
.
– Joseph Edward: Affirm
– Robert Baty: Deny
.
#3
.
Joseph Edward has biblical grounds to say that it would be a Godly and Wise decision to no longer take part in the “structuring” debate with Robert Baty.
.
– Joseph Edward: Affirm
– Robert Baty: Deny
.
UPDATE October 15, 2017 – Joseph Edward Is Back
.
Joseph Edward asked to join my Hovind FaceBook page and was allowed to do so. Among other comments, he posted the following at the link below.

My Response to Joseph Edward
.
For background, see:
.
http://kehvrlb.com/joseph-edward-v-robert-baty-structuring
.
The proposition Joseph Edward pledged himself to defend was:
.
Structuring requires 2 or more transactions
of $10,000 or less,
on the same day,
that total more than $10,000.
.
– Kent Hovind: Affirm
– Joseph Edward: Affirm
–
– Robert Baty: Deny
.
This is not rocket science, Joseph Edward.
.
You either have a legal reference to support the claim, or you don’t.
.
If you have one, you could have simply posted it a long time ago.
.
You may post it now if you have one.
.
If you have none, you should be man enough to admit it.
.
I don’t see much controversy over you decision to back out. It was not unexpected.
.
What I contest and deny is your claim that God is responsible for your decision.

UPDATE October 31, 2017
.
It just occurred to me that not all that long ago I had another relationship with another kid like Joseph Edward, and Kent Hovind and his people liked to accuse me of stalking that kid and of otherwise being abusive towards him.
.
That kid was Timothy Bukowski, and he’s got his own somewhat active YouTube channel where he promotes what interests him and his ministry.
.
Here’s a link to the YouTube broadcast from Timothy that followed our relationship.

This is one of my legal references:

https://www.irs.gov/irm/part4/irm_04-026-013#idm140512334160800
From: Robert Baty
Date: November 7, 2017
Time: 12:35 PM MT
.
Thanks for making the effort, Joseph, but do you even know what you are referencing with that? No evidence that you do!
.
I notice you again fail miserably to even quote from the article, much less quote anything that supports Kent Hovind’s “structuring” claim that you pledged your self to defend.
.
Maybe your lame effort is somewhat of a good sign.
.
I will suggest you find something, somewhere that actually purports to support the proposition that:
.
“Structuring requires 2 or more transactions
of $10,000 or less,
on the same day,
that total more than $10,000.”
.
– Kent Hovind: Affirm
– Joseph Edward: Affirm
–
– Robert Baty: Deny
From: Joseph Edward
Date: November 7, 2017
Time: 12:37 PM MT
.
Robert,
.
I knowingly gave minimal, since that is what you requested, a legal reference.
.
I just would like to know, what drives you to spend the time of your life to “expose” Kent?
From: Robert Baty
Date: November 7, 2017
Time: 12:40 PM MT
.
Joseph, all you had to do was give a citation and quote that established, if such was possible, that,
.
“Structuring requires 2 or more transactions
of $10,000 or less,
on the same day,
that total more than $10,000.”
.
You did not do that!
.
Feel free to try again or admit you have no such legal citation.
.
I am not going to try and guess where you get from your reference that conclusion since I deny that such conclusion is anywhere in your reference.
.
If you think it’s in there somewhere, feel free to provide the quote for my consideration.
.
Update November 22, 2017
.
Joseph Edward and I have re-engaged on the issue, at his request, and that renewed debate is now featured at the following link:
.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/kenthovindsworstnightmare/permalink/870377309798066/
.
UPDATE December 30, 2017 – Joseph Concedes
.
After a problem on his FaceBook page today where an old post was posted again and challenged me, Joseph cried that it was an old post, he would remove it, and that he had conceded the debate to me.
.
.
Kent Hovind is interviewed by a Rev. Joseph Edward and
talks about his legal problems between the 22:00 & 34:00 marks.
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cUOfq-wO1s
.
Joseph has indicated that his first affirmative or other statement
will be posted to the comments section here.
.
Waiting!
.
Joseph Edward sent this to me in the early morning hours of October 16, 2017!
.
(Begin quote.)
.
Dear Reader:
.
I refuse to debate with Robert Baty for a plurality of reasons.
.
The first being that I am convicted by the LORD to not participate
in this activity. I have been led to not do this, and I believe
the LORD confirmed my doubted convictions by sending multiple
people advising me to no longer take place in this debate. I have
Biblical ground on my decision and refuse to go any further.
.
I have seen a rumor that has said I probably accept the flat earth theory.
.
That is simply and absolutely false. I see no scientific evidence
for it whatsoever and I believe that all scientific evidence points
to a Young Earth. I accept the Heliocentric theory. Regarding my
FEMA video, it is a theory, there is no evidence for it, and I
question the accuracy of that myself.
.
I have not researched the incident in Las Vegas, so therefore I
have no comment on that.
.
My views are strongly and deeply Biblically Conservative.
.
I deny the evolution theory and accept the Young Earth Creationist
view.
.
I accepted JESUS CHRIST as my personal LORD and SAVIOR January
27’th of this year at 9:07 P.M.
.
I am Saved by nothing more and nothing less than the BLOOD OF
JESUS CHRIST! I do not believe in any sort of works by Salvation
(Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works,
lest any man should boast.) I am a Biblical Christian. God Loves
you, and if you die today, where would you go?
.
Finally, I say to you, I will not answer any questions that originate
from the debate because I will not debate.
.
I have said all I need to say in this statement, and I hope that it
is satisfactory. I hold no hatred, bitterness, or hard feelings
towards Robert Baty. I love and Pray for him just as any other human
being I know, and I respect him as my elder. I may not agree with him
or those who read this, but I will clarify that I will not and never
have held any hard feelings towards Robert or anyone I have come across.
.
It Is In the MASTER’S Service,
yours,
Joseph Edward
.
(End quote.)
.
I would like to ask why you “Deny” my reasoning for withdrawing from the debate?
@ Joseph Edward
.
You have no good reason for withdrawing from the debate,
and you have no good reason for refusing, to this date,
to simply post the legal reference you claim you have
which supports Kent Hovind’s “structuring” claim or admit
that you never had such a thing.
.
