Roy Martin:
Joe it's my opinion that anyone that accused you, or judged you are the ones without discernment.
 Yes I know my comment is on the edge of deletion, or causing this thread to get locked, but this just absolutely upsets me, >:( and I'm sorry to hear it.  :'(

Thanks for asking and or responding to the question raised by Roy.

I am doing well, still studying, meditating on this journey we are all experiencing, looking for glimmers of Light wherever I happen to be.

Obviously my posting has screeched to a halt, the reason being that apparently I have lost discernment and/or understanding of the meaning of the term "teaching." This is also why I resigned as a moderator, what value is a moderator who lacks any discernment?  ;)

There have been allegations or accusations directed at me for attempting to be a "teacher" and/or gain a following, neither of which at least to my mind's eye and consciousness is true but with perception being our personal reality it left me no option other than ceasing to share any insights, thoughts or questions that could be interpreted by some as teaching.

I do consider myself a student of His Word at this point being drawn primarily to the patterns, parables and riddles contained within the scriptures, I cannot ever recall making a declaration that "this is Truth" or this is the only way you can view this or that book, chapter or verse. If I have please show me and I will be more than happy to delete it.

Perhaps at times I offended some by speculation but it was only motivated by a desire to inspire others to open their bibles, minds and spirit, to dig for treasure and not wait for it to be delivered to them.

Anyway, there is no bitterness on my part, everything that happens to me or anyone else has lessons to be drawn from the experience, even if we don't understand it in this age I feel confident we will in the age to come.

Oops, there I go "teaching" again.  :P

Thanks again for asking!

Peace,

Joe

P.S. Fester I got a chuckle from your response, but I am actually thousands of miles away from there.

Hello Joe,

I don't think you should stop participating on the forum. Or Beloved.

You two, and others who have stopped participating, help others with your understanding of the scriptures and Ray's teachings. If it really is about edifying one another, no accusation or allegation will stick.

And one more note (and this is not meant to offend you, honest): I don't get it when someone just stops participating. I really don't...does a person just stop having joy when discussing the Word? Do we get tired of hearing our brother and sister's prayer request and how God moves in their life? Do we not get joy when helping one's understanding of the scriptures and how awesome the plan & wisdom of God is?

Helping one another should be the driving force in our participation here, how could we just stop doing that for each other? Christ was very clear in His words:

Matt 20:25-28  Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Luke 22:32  I [Jesus] have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.


Sorry for the rant but I still feel that you and others should continue to participate. Is it really worth it to stop?
