"The Remnant of His Heritage"
Marky Mark:
--- Quote ---I know I don't have to answer, but the point is that he is sowing doubts in my already weary and much-abused mind. I want assurance of God's love to all men and to me in particular, and these things are helping to plant seeds of doubt in my mind.

1Jn 4:18 Fear is not in love, but perfect love is casting out fear, for fear has chastening. Now he who is fearing is not perfected in love."
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Joh 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Jas 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Jas 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Jas 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Peace...Mark

I remember listening to one of Ray's audio's and he said something to the effect that, when you are challenged by anyone about your belief in the salvation of all, the only answer you have to give is "God is Love." period. there is no scripture that says that "God is not Love."....and Love never fails.
Someone else may be able to direct you to that study. I have never forgotten Rays simple reassuring answer. Love truely does cast out all fear & doubt.
peace to you,

-Micah 7:18
One of my Calvinist ex-associates sent me this verse in an email. He claimed that it proved that the Atonement was limited to just the elect and no more. I don't know how to respond. What should I do?

I dont think there is a need to respond to your Calvinist ex-associate. You are the one in doubt, so dispel your doubt with the truth.
Ray says (which he proves through the bible) we need at least two witnesses to establish truth. Micah 7:18 is only part of the truth. God not only forgives the sins of His remnant, but He also forgives the sins of all through the blood of Christ.
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Mercy is not only for the remnant.
Rom 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Pro 16:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
It would really help to think positive. Dwelling on negative lies (i.e. eternal torture) will only hold you back. Think of the good things God is, like love as others have mentioned.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:
Try it. :)
Sincerely hope this helps.

Hi
So much sound advice here and I totally agree, it takes a long time to be finally rid of Babylon and its evil teachings but once you finally get out it's liberating.So just persevere and you will get to that place of peace and freedom eventually.

Hopeful,
I believe Lauriellen is referring to the 'Fundamental Truths' bible study: Transcript & Audio.
