I'm just baffled how you came to accept Q as a real thing yet you won't give this guy that same opportunity to make his case.
Honestly, I think your red-pill might have got caught half-way down, because your thought process of totally avoiding alternate talking points from the prescribed narrative built on stereotypes is pretty NPC, not gonna lie.
That you've gotten a smidge defensive indicates to me it doesn't matter to you whether or not this guy is honest in his intent, but that you're actually hesitant to dig into it because it would shatter your preconceived notions of how God acts in the world and you are perfectly happy being blissfully ignorant because you don't want to be proven wrong.
Well, let me tell you, I've been wrong a ton in my life and the only way I've figured out that I was doing things the shittest way possible was to try something else, even if it had negative stereotypes, on the off chance I could learn something new.
I never jump into something new without great apprehension, mind you. I test, study, and read up on anything I attempt.
You don't just go out and chop down a tree, because chances are you'll end up killing yourself. Study, take it slow, and if the axe bounces off the tree and heads toward your leg, maybe take a moment and consider the possibility that nearly every axe bought commercially needs to be filed down to a more shallow cut and such a little fun fact that will prevent you severing your femoral artery and bleeding out to death isn't included in your purchase.
Make assumptions, but also don't get attached to them. Test them tenderly and then follow the results where they lead.
So far this guy has been on point and backs up everything he claims with Scripture. Most other "prophets" I've seen do talk out their ass as the stereotype goes.
However, Robin seems like the real deal; not because he called the Ever Given getting stuck a month before it happened and then again 7 hours before it got stuck, but because every message he gets from God he draws parallel from Scripture. That passes my litmus test, and I've taken it upon me to not discredit him because of what other people think about "prophets."
To date, I'm not buying everything he says. I refuse to believe Netanyahu being taken down is an Iranian plot to overthrow Israel. It goes against everything we've learned about Netanyahu being a Cabal agent thus far, so I'm holding my reservations on that particular claim.
AT THE VERY LEAST, his interpretation of the Bible is so incredibly direct that I have a hard time believing it comes from any other place than the Holy Spirit.
OOOOH, now I get it, I dont belong if I dont believe the EXACT same things as you do ....
I can follow and believe in Q without agreeing with every scripture he quotes. Just like you can follow your snake oil saleman without agreeing with all his assertions.....
And Ill give you something to thing about for yourself, you know if YOU are even open to an idea.
Notice in our whole exchange that I never criticized YOU personally, I gave my opinions about the Prophet and why he is not for me.
Yet notice how many smugly superior and judgemental type remarks you made about ME personally ,,,as if you knew me just because I dont think exactly like you....reconcile
I'm not attacking you because you aren't thinking like me.
I'm not really attacking you at all. I'm trying to help open you up a bit.
You're confusing criticism with coaching, and you can't coach someone without pointing out what is holding them back.
You're so close that it's aggravating you don't see it.
I DON'T want you to think just like me. I just want you to think; and the first step to doing that is to actually listen to what people say instead of dismissing them outright because of stereotypes.
Hell, I dip into CNN and Yahoo just to make sure I know what the other side is up to. You have to take in ALL information in order to come to conclusions. Echo chambers work both ways.
I'm telling you this guy knows his stuff and comes from a good place. It's enough to bring you closer to God, not further away, which I think is a valuable thing to encourage people towards.

The bible....lol
Dude...
Are you sure you're in the right place?
Go read the 1000's or so posts where Q quotes scripture and asks us pray and reevaluate where the hell you are right now.
OOOOH, now I get it, I dont belong if I dont believe the EXACT same things as you do ....
I can follow and believe in Q without agreeing with every scripture he quotes. Just like you can follow your snake oil saleman without agreeing with all his assertions.....
See how that works?
