Hi Charles,

Welcome to the forums!

There are a few of us in San Antonio and Austin. Santikos and I live here in San Antonio as well, and CJWood lives in Austin.

Good to have another brother in Christ that lives nearby!

In Him,
John

Hi Duane

Whom are you calling young? haha

Well, I don't think there is that many physically Young's posting around here, only like a very few. But grow ups with a young mind and with a lot of mental strenght and full life, there is a many. Or maybe you are talking in comparison...

Oh well, I  just thought to try to make a point so Charlesj doesn't think to be in a college or something like that...

anyway.

Welcome Charlesj!

[/quoHi gmik:


Hello gmik:
I really can't tell you how I accidently stumbled onto Ray's site.  I do know I was reading something on "hell" and one thing led to another and I ended up on this site. 
I had already come to the conclusion on "hell" many years ago as being a false doctrine.  I really like what I've read so far on Ray's site (and am learning).
hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooraaaaaah!!! and Semper Fi!!! (always faithful!)

May the Lord be with us as we serve and honor Him,

charles j

p.s. If you look at the sacrificial system (Burnt, meal,  peace, sin & trespass offerings, plus the red heifer, and Yom Kippur (day of Atonement) you will find that there was NO offering for sins willfully committed.

Welcome Charlesj!

Thanks to all that have welcomed me.  I've enjoyed being with you all and hope to learn more about our Lord (even if I am old).
Moises, I don't think I'm in college. LOL  After college, while working with IBM, I did teach a college class for  two years in a Jr. college (San Antonio Jr. College) in computer networking and data communications.. 
Thanks for your welcome.  We can all learn from each other.
May the Lord be with you.
