Eric Duaine Osborne is a native of West Virginia and Virginia. He has been a conscientious Bible student since age 12, having four years of formal Bible training. He also is a history buff, who became interested in genealogy and discovered this direct ancestor in his family tree. Over the years, Osborne has studied differing denominational doctrines. He has had the privilege to travel internationally for his faith. He describes himself as a Redneck Liberal, who feels that all sides should have a voice. So much so, he never votes straight ticket in elections. In the Church Of Christ (Osborne’s church), members are encouraged to study for themselves and to challenge every idea to verify the scriptural authority of what one believes.
