F@lgn0n,

My comments were in regards to teaching on the forum, not what a member studies on their own or with others.

I would hope that everyone would rely on the scriptures to determine what they believe to be true or not. Didn't we all rely on the scriptures in determining if Ray's teachings were true or not?

The forum is not a grounds for members to teach what they believe to be 'right'. Who would be the 'judge' of any and everyone's insight? That's not a job for the members or even the moderators.

There are multiple avenues that one can take to spread their deeper insight...either through home studies/meetings or the different internet options (social networking, blogs, website). But this forum is off-limits because it is Dennis & Ray's.


Hope everyone understands,

Marques

Hi F@lgn0n,

Who on this forum can say if anybody's insight is right or wrong?  Because some may agree, but then some might disagree, then you have a debate.  Some people come here and it seems to be their main objective to teach, others just want to throw in a bit of insight and we all have our speculations on different things in the Scriptures.  But it is not the purpose of this forum to unravel the mysteries of the Scriptures.  We all have a bases of truth that we believe and share here, Ray's teachings.  Staying within that parameter was intended so people could have a peaceful place to fellowship.  

Of course everyone should continue there studies in the Scriptures and maybe this is a good place to find someone of like mind to share your insights with.  The pm function can not be viewed by anybody else and is a good way to reach out to others for discussion.

Anyway just wanted to try an explain why we do not allow teaching here.  You can still email Ray your questions at L.RaySmith@comcast.net he does still answer emails.

mercy,peace and love

F@lgn0n:
Thank u all for ur input. Perhaps I should apologise 4 my inherently inquisitive nature. I do believe that everyone I meet has something of value to offer. My main reason for coming to this forum is to learn. BTW, I have not yet read anything by Ray that I believe to be anything but the truth. I certainly do not intend to start any kind of debate or division. I am simply suggesting that the Spirit might use someone other than Ray to open our understanding in some things. Anyway, I fully understand the need that exists to protect this forum in the ways outlined in the links you all posted, and I do respect that. So . . . do we know what the 'outer darkness' is yet?
