Hi Everyone!
I'm from RSA, Jhb, I'm here to learn more bible truths through bibletruths. I need to get into contact with any South African members to discuss local bible study groups in RSA.

Hi 1Luv,

I'm glad you have joined us 
This is a wonderful place to have so that we can discuss these truths with like minded believers. We do have a number of South African members, so maybe you can get a Bible study together. But for most of us we make the most of having this forum as a relative quick and easy way to fellowship.
Here are some links to what we have here at the forum, so you can explore all of our reading options.

I want to thank you all for your inspiring, warm welcome messages.

Kat: Thank u for all the links, will put them in my favourites.

Linny: What a wonderful caption you have at the foot of your message.

Just want to share this item with you'll. whoever posted this on this site, thank u.

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing I asked for, but everything I hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed. I'm just a man, a human, carnal in this life but my God's WILL, will change ALL at the second coming of Lord Jesus Christ.

Hi and welcome 1luv.

Question please, Who is the fellow with all the medals in the photo that you presented?

Just curious if there was a meaning involved.

Warm regards, Indianabob

Hi Indianabob
Thank you and yes, I knew someones going to ask that question, That's L. Ray Smith
When I was doing research in 2002, I came across this site & never turned back, it attracts me like a magnet, I read over & over again most of the articles, listened to audios, perused emails, etc.

So I said to myself, I must find out who this L Ray Smith is because his work is stunning, so I began reseaching, I don't know if it's him, but I sure do like to find out, here's a link.

[Craig]

Nope that's not him.

[indianabob]

Hi again 1luv,

Sorry that is not L. Ray Smith.

Our Ray Smith is as tough as any Marine I have known and he can take it as well as give it,
but Ray spent his recent life as a "roofer" and caring for his family AND making the word of
God more understandable for all of us. Some of Ray's history is available on the B-T site and
perhaps you could just ask him about any background that you have not already read.

You had me confused for a short while there because I thought that the Marine may be a
photo of you in your youth and I couldn't imagine how you were a Marine with the U. S. flag
standing behind you while at the same time you were a citizen of South Africa.

Now isn't this fun? We all are learning more about one another.

Regards, Ole Indiana Bob
