God Led Me To This Site!!!!

[Bob Miller]

Hello Brethren,
I became a Christian at 40 years old after the death of my younger brother. I am now 51. I was raised Catholic, but I was not devoted. When I first accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, my wife and I started visiting other churches. Well we went to one church called the Rock Church and after about an hour or so of singing they all started doing the jibber jabber. We ran out! Not to interested in confusion? Hmmm! And I have visited many other churches and we ended up in a local Baptist Church.
I was just writing up a paper to give to a fellow worker on "Tithing" and Prosperity Doctrine. This co- worker's wife was giving 10% plus giving a weekly offering for the new Church that they are constructing for 3.5 million dollars and she is 66 years old!
I found out that the Pastor of another local church owns 2 home's, one worth 1.4 million, and another worth .5 million! I mentioned this to her husband. She had given me a write up from Kenneth Copeland Ministries on how it is Biblically correct to tithe and give offerings above the tithe!
( Bunch of crap)
I was searching the Internet for Kenneth Copeland Ministries to try and find out what he is worth or to search the Real Estate value of his house through a web site called: Zillow.com, so that I could inform her that they are all a bunch of crooks! That's where I found your web site! Praise The Lord! Your write up on Tithing was right there! I read it, I'm in agreement, I sent it to her and I'm telling many others about it! I thank God for you Ray! My Pastor also agrees with you on Tithing, but as you know many don't know anything different.

With love and blessings and prayer,
Brother Bob

First off welcome Bob. God has truly lead you to this site. Infact God does everything, every little thing in our lives, even our own faith Is Gods! How truly amazing is God when you can understand Him. I recomend making your way through the lake of fire series, and then go on to www.*not-allowed*.com and read the revalations series and Strong delusion article.

I would warn you though not to expect many people to believe you on anything you share with them, because much of this stuff is MEAT and most can only swallow MILK.

"the God of this worldp (age - aion) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (II Cor. 4:4).

"God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day" (Rom. 11:.

There are "MANY CALLED, but FEW CHOSEN."

Oh, you don't have to attend church at all, or give Tith to be in the Midst of God, or to worship Him. We do that in the Spirit by Following Christ Jesus in ALL His Ways.

"Howbeit the Most High dwells NOT in temples [or church buildings] made with hands" (Acts 7:48).

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells NOT in temples made with hands" (Acts 17:24).

Just where is God then? Well in everyone of us Offcourse, but He is also present at:

"For where two or three are gathered together in MY Name, THERE AM I[JESUS] IN THE MIDST OF THEM[b/]" (Matt. 18:20).

God Bless you and may He open your eyes and ears to understand His Truth.

Welcome.  I was very thick into Copeland, Hagen, etc. Really believed that prosperity was owed us. Thank God I was led to this site as well.  Also, thanks for the zillow website tip.
