    Good Morning!

    Good morning! My name is Robbie and I live in south Georgia.

    I grew up in a Church of God and by age twelve left it because I could feel the fakeness all around. I stayed out of the buildings until I married at age 23. My wife and I were raised completely different. Me CoG and she, Baptist. Therefore, we compromised and started going to the Church of the Nazarene. Since 1995, we have been burnt by several different buildings. The hypocrisy and evil that exists in some of the so-called "houses of God" today is shameful. Children telling my children (girl, Reagan, aged 12 and boy, Braeden, aged 11) that they can't play with them because we didn't make enough money, money and power cliques, etc. At that point, we stopped associating with these people in those 'buildings'.

    Fast forward three years. I have studied the Word more in the past three years than I ever had before. As a result, my eyes have been opened to what God ACTUALLY is trying to teach us, rather than only believing what my parents taught me, their parents taught them, and so on down the line.

    When one starts to think for themselves and think outside of ordinary and passed down beliefs, the God will shew you things you could have never conceived of before!

    At this point, most of the people I know think that I am "out there" with my beliefs. However, when I sit down with them, I leave them speechless, angry or both! The truth and power of the Word of God truly rocks their world and they do not know how to handle it!

    I have been married to my wonderful wife, Hope for almost 16 years now. She does not have a job outside of the home and takes care of my children (not kids) and our home.

    Thank you for taking time to read this. I look forward to participating here.

    Jhn 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

    Re: Good Morning!

    Just so we know, how my money do you make? Tithing is an important (compulsory) act and I am getting a bad sense from your post. Would you rather the Church dip into its precious real estate portfolio to pay for your lifestyle?

      Why hello there Robert, it seems we share the same name. It seems to have taken you a very long time to find the path of salvation, and you also have jumped around many times from parish to parish. Are you sure you're ready now to save yourself?

      Our Church has been running since 1620, so I don't understand what you mean when you criticize"passed down beliefs." Inheritance is a popular theme in the Bible, and what your ancestors have done effect you directly.

      Exodus 32:13- Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

      And do not forget the story of Ham, which is why the nigras are a servant race: Genesis 9:20-27


      In conclusion, you're under the impression that our fine Church is some sort of rebellious institution, but really, we're as pure and orthodox as it gets.

      Everything we know as fact comes straight from the King James Bible.

        Thank you for the warm greeting. I make enough at times, and not enough at times.

        I agree, tithing IS important. I hope this isn't where you stop, however.

        No.

              Hello Rob.

              I am sorry if you believe that I am NOT saved, I never intended to portray this.

              Inheritance is indeed a popular word in the Word of God and I was not saying otherwise. Unfortunately, not everything we inherit is good and holy unto God, is it?

              Rob, I am under no such impression. I am only now learning about your flock.

                        Ah, yes. Williacoochee. I know it well.

                        No sir, I have never heard of it. Sorry. What is it?

                        Could you please tell me where I have not shown good manners? I do not have a reason to be impolite, nor do I deserve impoliteness in return.

                          You said I had "smelling issues," which isn't very nice. If you said that to one of our True Christian ladies I would go BERSERK!

                          What did I ever do to you? It's not my fault you talk funny like you're speaking through Google translate.

                          I've got my eye on you.
