Joel:
James 2:1-8 Dear brothers, how can you claim that you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, if you show favoritism to rich people and look down on poor people?
If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive clothes and with valuable gold rings on his fingers, and at the same moment another man comes in who is poor and dressed in threadbare clothes, and you make a lot of fuss over the rich man and give him the best seat in the house and say to the poor man, "You can stand over there if you like, or else sit on the floor"- well, judging a man by his wealth shows that you are guided by wrong motives.
 Listen to me, dear brothers: God has chosen poor people to be rich in faith, and the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, for that is the gift God has promised to all those who love him.
 And yet, of the two strangers, you have despised the poor man. Don't you realize that it is usually the rich men who pick on you and drag you into court?
 And all to often they are the ones who laugh at Jesus Christ, Whose noble name you bear.
Yes indeed, it is good when you truly obey our Lord's command, "You must love and help your neighbors just as much as you love and take care of yourself. But you are breaking this law of our Lord's when you favor the rich and fawn over them; it is sin.

Beloved:
Ray teaches that worship mean to obey.... What suit do you wear to do this?  We should be trying to do this always...so yes claudia to your birthday suit....He gave you that.

"Selah" this

(2Co 5:1)  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

(2Co 5:2)  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

(2Co 5:3)  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

One of the things that impressed me most about Rays teaching was:
"NOTHING PHYSICAL IS SPIRITUAL"

Beloved:
Yes felix this is right, .
To be naked...in the above scipture means that your body and whatever covers it is irrelevant. They are temporal. When we die to self and put on Christ We are warpped in the robes of his righteousness

(Isa 61:10)  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
