Dear Randy:
We have all felt like you at times in our lives. I have said that before we ever come to truly love God, we first go through a stage where we HATE God.  It's okay, God understands.
When God calls someone to come out of this world and into His Truth, it is a struggle all the way.  It never gets "easy." God doesn't want it to get easy. We are in training for something big ... really BIG!  We are to be born into the very Family of God as SONS!  We are destined to RULE THE WORLD.  Our goal is to judge and SAVE ALL MANKIND.  This training for this job is a little harder than ranger training in the Army. But then again, the rewards and responsibilities are much greater as well.
God knows you state and your state of mind every second of the day. It is God HIMSELF who has put you in the predicaments that you find yourself. And that is part of the reason you sometimes hate God. 
Not to fear -- God is on your side even if it appears at times that He is not.
Take ALL of your burdens to God. He will see your through.
Sincerely,
Ray
Be sure you read the installments of The Lake of Fire. It will help you a lot.

Nan:
Are there others who read the material and understand but then later when they come upon bible passages things start to get muddy again?  Is it short term memory that I keep losing my perspective

Yes. i keep going back to Ray's papers.

Yes.

Matthew 13:18 "You, then, hear the parable of the sowing.
19 At everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding, coming is the wicked one and snatching what has been sown in his heart. This is he who is being sown beside the road.
20 Yet he who is being sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word and straightway with joy is getting it,
21 yet has no root in himself, but is temporary. Now at the coming of affliction or persecution because of the word, straightway he is snared.
22 Now he who is being sown in the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the worry of this eon and the seduction of riches are stifling the word, and it is becoming unfruitful.
23 Now he who is being sown on the ideal earth, this is he who is hearing the word and understanding, who by all means is bearing fruit, and is producing; these indeed, a hundred, yet these sixty, yet these thirtyfold."


There have been people who've come and gone from this forum. Doesn't mean that everyone of them turned back to Babylon; but I'm sure some of them did.

G. Driggs:
Proverbs are to the Old Testament what parables are to the New Testament. They are riddles, near stories and fictitious narratives. They are never literally true, but always spiritually true.

Proverb

H2420

חידה
chı̂ydâh
khee-daw'
From H2330; a puzzle; hence a trick, conundrum, sententious maxim: - dark saying (sentence, speech), hard question, proverb, riddle.

Parable

G3850

παραβολή
parabolē
par-ab-ol-ay'
From G3846; a similitude (“parable”), that is, (symbolically) fictitious narrative (of common life conveying a moral), apoth gm or adage: - comparison, figure, parable, proverb.

This is just something I remind myself of whenever I come across a proverb or parable. Hope it helps you too.

G.Driggs

Deborah-Leigh:
 Excellent study G.Driggs! 8)

I recall that Ray expounds that the entire Bible is a Parable 8)

Blessings to you brother
