We have all to shed the way it was explained to us as well! :) ;D
We all have to get rid of every stupid, blind, heretical blasphemous explaination we ever assimilated knowingly or unknowingly. Everything we have been taught in Babylon is not true, not real, not reflecting the One True God that we are drawn by His Spirit to know through the Truth that we are blessed and privilaged to be recieving through Ray Smith.

I've talked to Roy and Kat about this, but I figured maybe someone else could help me. I'm starting to think the the bible, isn't anymore true than any other religion's book. I want to believe the scriptures. I want to stop worrying about this and that. And despite my best efforts, I'm still afraid that no matter what I do, if I don't follow what I used to believe, God is going to be angry at me and put me in hell. For a long time, I looked for every way to validate what I believed, because if I thought anything wasn't true, I was going to hell. I tried so hard to believe, because if I didn't, it was hopeless for me. I want to believe this (Truth, what the scriptures teach.), I'm GOING to believe this. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Hello Lupac,
What you are going through right now is the crushing of your former religion. You're not the first to go through it, and you won't be the last either. Just hang in there buddy... Put everything you know [or think you know] aside and just focus on this ONE TRUTH:
GOD IS YOUR LOVING FATHER; AND HE IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.
Period.
The rest is will fall into place in time.

Do a Brain Dump, Please, DO NOT MIX OLD WINE (Teaching, Knowledge) WITH NEW (Teaching, knowledge).
These are words to live by every minute of every day, Jesus Christ Said Them, and Remember The Words Are Spirit, not carnal.
Mat 9:17 (CEV)
No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The wine would swell and burst the old skins. Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined. New wine must be put into new wineskins. Both the skins and the wine will then be safe.
Mar 2:21 (CLV)
21 No one is sewing a patch of unshrunk shred on an old cloak. Yet, if so, is not that which fills up taking away from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is occurring?
22 And no one is draining fresh wine into old wine skins. Yet, if so, will not the fresh wine be bursting the wine skins? And the wine is spilling, and the wine skins will perish. But fresh wine is put into new wine skins."
Luk 5:37-39 (CEV)
37 No one pours new wine into old wineskins. The new wine would swell and burst the old skins. Then the wine would be lost, and the skins would be ruined.
38 New wine must be put only into new wineskins.
39 No one wants new wine after drinking old wine. They say, "The old wine is better."

Lupac, Have you considered the free will thing? Its very obvious that you want to believe in God, and trust in Him, but you haven't been able to. You fear Satan , but you don't want to. Do you think your choice to play music was of your own free will? Do you think you can of your own free will choose not to play any more? Trust me, you can't quit playing music of your own free will, and you can't want to want to believe in God of your own.
The truth of not having free will is blasting you in the face like an explosion. Its a truth you can cling to. Its a step in the right direction. The evidence is overwhelming. Can you see it now?
Ask my wife about free will. She can't make her thoughts go away no matter how hard she tries. The more she fights it the worse it gets.
Consider this one truthful tool, and dwell in just that for a few days. Wow! you have one truth you can rely on.
The reason you want so much to believe in God is because He is drawing you to Him. Your just having to travel some rough ground to get to Him just as I had to. Its not of your own to want to believe in Him and not fear a destiny of what Satan might do to you.
Your grabbing at too many things right now when you need to focus on one thing at a time. Not having free will is a major truth that becomes a wonderful tool that will dig you out of this mess you think your in. When you are in a pit there is only one way out and that is up. I've been in that pit, and God is the one that put me there to bring me out of it one step, one tool at a time. This is a process of trusting and relying on God as you will begin to see that it is Him providing the tools to lift you from the pit of unbelief and fear and all that stuff that you have that you want to get rid of that you are trying to do of your own. NO FREE WILL is your tool. Use it. To me this is the key to taking a giant step forward. Its also the greatest snare that keeps one from seeing any truth.
Its like the parables of not understanding one; means you don't understand any of them.
You will never understand or except any scriptures until you get past the free will myth.
Peace little brother
Roy
