The rating says hated it, but I did not hate that church merely did not believe their interpretation of things. I had attended the church for about 3 weeks before they started to preach on interracial marriage. In an effort to be loving and to sharpen Iron I brought this "preacher" Dennis Anderson endless Biblical proof that the separation between God and these people of whom the pastor here believed were black was simply spiritual and not physical. I used the story of Ruth, and Rahab all in the line of Jesus. I used the proof that Moses had married an Ethiopian woman and God never rebuked him for it. I used the famous verse, be ye not unequally yoked WITH UNBELIEVERS. I tried again and again in love to get this pastor accept that he was preaching lies because he wanted them to be true. In the end after my last attempt to disprove his teachings (last attempt because they threw me out of the church) the preacher snarled at me, slobbering and spitting like a rabid dog, while his "deacon" Darrell Flanagan looked down on me with so much hate that I could feel to the depths of my soul that he hated me. The preacher made endless snarling accusations at me just as the Pharisees did to Jesus. I continued to try to reason with him, but then he said the one critical thing that stood as counsel against him and the entire church that stood about, he said that I was going to hell to which I responded, "You can judge my heart?" and snarling and gnashing he said "Yes, Yes I can." The Bible clearly states that only the Lord can judge the heart, the man elevated himself to the throne of Jesus Christ while his entire church stood around like cowards an no one rebuked him of his elevation. This is when I learned that Gods love was not in this church, and I wiped the dust from my feet as a testimony against that Church. I write this to you who go there and the Lord burdens you to bring them to The Truth, be ever faithful to The Word, for this preacher will argue his pride and his lies with vigor and zeal, he is steadfast in his commitment to his own words and rather shaky on his commitment to the Lords Word. What I will say, is other than their commitment to speaking against interracial marriage (not inter-spiritual marriage), and the preachers claim to be God, I found no other faults during their services. So if you are the type of person who hates interracial marriage and wants to find someone that will pat you on the back for it, this is the place for you. The Bible does speak against tattoos saying not to put any printed images on your skin, Leviticus 19:28, and the Lord does rebuke homosexuality, Romans 1:26-27. These may not be popular beliefs, but for those who adhere to the Lords word it is not ours to contort, if you do not like these Biblical facts this should be taken up with the Lord and not with those who subjugate themselves to His word. To put simply, the Lord is our moral guide, while the rest of the worlds moral guide is whatever they want or interpret it to be. I do not hate anyone at all, for any reason, my moral compass just points to the Lord, I believe sin is sin and I do not have to agree with it or go along with it, nor is that any justification to hate a person who does something I do not agree with. If I hated everyone who does something I do not believe is right, I would have no one left to love, so I hope you will not hate or scorn me because I choose to adhere to the Word of God.
This is no racial church at all! People can't handle deep truths and just want to stay in the surface of basics to make themselves feel good!
This is not a racist church,someone has totally misunderstood what the preacher is saying. I know,we have been here. The people love the Lord, and preach the true word. We are none perfect and all have room to grow.
WARNING : This is not a true Christian church ! Satanic false church. Horribly UN-biblical FALSE teaching, racist and hate filled "leadership". Check out their website, that says it all. The pastor's position papers prove he is a psychopath. If you are taking your children to this church you are an UNFIT parent. This is a racist HATE GROUP, a cult NOT A WELL BALANCED CHURCH THAT LOVES GOD. Read God's WORD and it will be crystal clear that this church is "pastored" by a demon possessed Psychopath not a truly BORN AGAIN man. I'm praying for the destruction of this EVIL FALSE CHURCH. Satan is their lord & master, NOT the true savior Jesus Christ. If you attend here, REPENT and FLEE from this evil temple of Satan.
If you are looking for a backwoods, ignorant, and racist group of jackasses to hangout with, this will be your place. Whenever a pastor thinks he alone is divinely appointed and speaks for God and only answers to God, perhaps you should, well, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Not to mention if you are woman prepare to go back to the 1800's mentality of thinking. Or, if you are Black, you are already doomed to a life in hell. With that said, stay away from this place of hate filled brain washing.
"If the world hate you, ye knew it hated me before it hated you."
John 15:18 KJV
