Subject: Righteousness

My Grandfather was a Assembly of God Preacher and my Mother was raised a Baptist. Until the age of Four we went to an Assembly of God Church.

One day my parents was having sex on the divan in the living room, I was playing on the floor and when it was overwith I noticed when Dad was going to the Bathroom, his private part was bigger, and that impressed me.

The next day I was in a ditch for the sewer, in front of the house and had a neighbor boys penis out of his pants. At that time my mother looked down from the bank and saw me. She made me come into the house and told me she was going to tell Dad when he came home from work. After she told him he went out and got some switches from a tree and used them on me. Several years later I ask Mom if she remembered Dad whipping me? She said he never laid a hand on me. That was true, I, was at the end of the tree limbs. At the time I should have showed her the scares from my knees to my waist, but I didn't, I gase I was born with them, according to her.

After this happened Dad said he was called to preach and quit a defered job on the railroad because of the second World War. We moved to Senica Mo. to a small farm where my brother at 12 years of age did the farming and Dad became a ordained Assembly of God Minister. He got a notice to go into the army, so he went to Kansas City and got back on the Railroad.

If one could go to heaven being righteous we would all live with God forever, because the Baptist believe that once saved always saved. We couldn't go to a movie and Dad said grace at every meal. It was against the rules to listen to the radio and four out of five went to church at least three times a week. At the first church Dad quit preaching took my brother outside and spanked him, went back in the church and finished his sermon. After the service my brother told Dad he wouldn't ever go to church again.

There was no smoking, drinking, swearing, etc.. I ask Mom one time if she ever read the Bible but that is another story. At the age of 30 I found out every thing we did was all a fraud, which most people, "that go to church" will never find out until it's to late. That they are living a fraudulent life that has nothing to do with salvation. Without salvation, conversion, and a change of the heart that your born with, your living is in vain. As stated in an early'er message.
