A little worried... the Holy Spirit?

TheRysta:
Hey guys.

First off I have some really good news. There was one woman called Mary Baxter who claimed she had seen hell and all this stuff, and because I am so naturally timid to this I took it all in last Winter. After about six months of worrying I have finally read some of her material and it is LAUGHABLE. It's absolutely CHILDISH. It has actually made me MORE confident that there is no eternal hell. It also raises the question, "Is there a devil?" because if this woman is out to decieve the masses it certainly wasn't our crafty Satan because he wouldn't have been STUPID enough to convince someone to write this ridiculous stuff. I can't BELIEVE people swallow it. Decievers...

Anyway, although that worry has more or less died down I still feel like I'm being decieved. It's like I'm trying to construct my whole belief system all at once and around every corner I wonder if I'm being decieved. I'm suffering from this religious psychosis, that the devil might be around every corner. It's NOWHERE NEAR as bad as it was, don't get me wrong, but the thing is I can never be sure that the conclusions I come up with are true. I have only just started praying and I'm still learning to recognise signs.

This said, I was wondering if anyone on this site feels as if they have had it confirmed to them by the Holy Spirit that certain things are true. We can conspire as much as we want but our wisdom to God is foolishness. Does anyone feel truly that they have been enlightened by any of Ray's teachings?


Thanks. Dunno if this is supposed to be a private thing or not, I'm just curious.

Hi Ryan,

Is this a serious question?  :o

I will assume it is.  ;)

Perhaps you have not read much of the personal testimonies or introductions, but more importantly have you been enlightened with any spiritual truths Ray has written of in his articles?

Anyway, most of us here do not put much credence in personal revelations, visions, etc. unless of course scriptural references are abundant, lacking that these revelations are only a potpourri of deceptions, delusions, fantasies, lies or any combination thereof, or maybe just too much anchovy pizza directly before going to bed.  ;D

Peace,

Joe

P.S. The devil will use any ruse to deceive, there is nothing beneath him, intelligence or lack of intelligence or sophistication is not a problem, in fact he and his minions will custom tailor a deception or two that will fit us like an Armani suit if we stray from His Word.
