Hi Gary, Astrapho, bluzman, Jacobs Ladder,

YES, remember this day; when you feel challenged next time. Growth in The Spirit comes in increments because it is the most difficult thing we endure in this life; our old man does not want to die. He (old man) is going to come back over and over, so remember this day when the ride gets bumpy; it will.

When possible listen to the audio of this topic a few hundred times, amazing what you can learn.

The Image Of God
He is creating, not created - finished - done.
If God created (ed - past tense) man in His image, why oh why did he sin?  Think about it, are we saying that the image of God is a sinning image?  How could the very image of God, sin?  Well that’s what they say, they say he (Adam) was perfect.

One day Copeland said, Adam was so glorified, so majestic, so spiritual that you couldn’t see his body.  That he glowed like a white star.  He was so glorious you couldn’t even see his body, that’s how glorious he was before he sinned.  Well why did he sin?  How could anything so God-like sin?  Because he wasn’t God-like at all!  He was as carnal as any slob who has ever drawn breath.  That’s why he sinned.  

So this is the plan of God, He is making children in His very own image.  We are going to be like God. We are going to be God’s children.  You know what children are like.  So we’ll be like God, if we’re going to be the children of God.  We’re going to be like Christ.  Christ is called God and we are going to be brothers and sisters.  We’re going to be sons of God.

Hello George, I will, and your advice is always welcome.
After I read your post, this thought came to mind.
It seems Goliath falls and gets right back up and seems
to be undefeatable.
Peace and thank you,
Bluzman

Excerpt from 'How Hard is Getting Saved' (http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3849.0.html):
Thanks Marques for your reply i have read this before but did not see the things that i see now, i know Revelations is symbolic but i couldn't get pass all the things that will happen in the tribulation i've always had some fear of that time hoping i would not be alive when it happens but after reading your reply that fear is now gone i can now  see that i'm going through these things now, for the last seven years of illness i have been in a place i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, at 56 i have spent everything i have saved,lost my truck my camper my health and don't know how we will keep our house,the first 4 or 5 years i couldn't understand why i was going through these trails but now i have joy knowing my Lord needed me to go through these things that i might learn to lean on him and trust him. Since some of the worldly things that are now gone i have become closer to my Lord i have peace now and great Joy and as for my house i believe my Lord will work that out also i have no fear of that any more, i will let everyone know how our Lord works this out as it happens, isn't it amazing how we can have such joy with all the trails that we all face in this walk with our Lord

Much Peace
Terry

bluzman:
Hi Jacob,
I understand how you feel. Used to read a lot of novels before I found BibleTruths.
Some produced in a series, like Stephen King's stuff,and couldn't wait for the next one.
Since my circumstances are ever changing, when I do a reread on one of Ray's papers, I seem to be viewing his writings
from a new and informative perspective. I just could hardly wait for anything from the last conference.
Peace brother, Bluzman

cjwood:
yes jacob, i understand your feeling about coming to the end of any of ray's enlightened teachings. just like finishing a very good book and you feel the little let down of "it's over, i finished the book". but, with ray's awesome writings we can reread them and become joyous again and again as we read the evidence of the Spirit working through ray to bring forth the teachings of His Truths. if we reread any other writings (other than the Scriptures), we can often be let down because we already know the end of the story, but with ray's teachings, the story just builds and builds, enlarging our spiritual understanding of the most awesome Story every written.
