"To The Pure All Things Are Pure"
santikos:
i remember listen to ray and he said " do the right thing all the time". my motives are pure so the things i do are pure. i dont worry if i did something wrong to get me in trouble. If a cop is knocking on my door i dont worry because i did nothing. If someone approaches me in a serious tone and says " we gotta talk" i am not worried becasue i did nothing wrong in my heart. i might have offended someway but not according to my heart.
Memme:
Hi all again
santikos said quoting Ray: "do the right thing all the time". By constantly praying 'deliver me from evil', I truly believe that's exactly what happens in the process of being made 'pure' & being given a 'clean' conscious. Whenever our conscious pricks us (which, of course, IS the Spirit of Truth) and we judge ourselves to have lust in our hearts or temptation to 'turn from the truth', anger, greed, etc. we need to remember that Jesus said 'get thee behind me, Satan'! Sin comes from the heart and if that heart 'holds fast' to that lust/temptation, evil works will always be manifested. As Paul tells us, we are waging a SPIRITUAL battle and that battle is within our own carnal weak flesh. Is it not the most wonderful thing to have our Jesus Christ as our advocate and our strength for we can do nothing without Him? ;D
Lord, deliver us from evil.

Doug what you were saying is right in line with the article 'Gehenna Fire Judgment' where Ray spoke about sanctifiction.

SANCTIFICATION: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth... That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish" (John 17:17 & Eph. 5:26-27). Strong's #37, hagiazo, "to make holy, purify, consecrate, venerate, hallow, be holy, sanctify." Need I point out once more the enormous change that must be made in us. We are spiritually dirty and we need to be changed to something that is pure and holy. This we are told is accomplished by the Christ "washing us from our sins in His own blood" (Rev. 1:5), and "with the washing of water by the word." We are sanctified (set apart as something pure and holy) through the Truth, which is the Word of God, which Word is Jesus Christ and His blood.

To the pure all things are Pure.
This pure lives in righteousness. It is this pure emulating the life of the Lord and enduring the trials and tribulations of this world. All things for the pure leads to righteousness.
Like wise for;
But to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient, and worthless for any good deed."
"Watch out!" Jesus warned them. "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Mat 16:6
Then at last they understood that he wasn't speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mat 16:12
As they claim that they know God, but their acts denying it. Those hypocrites outwardly is pure but inwardly are full of evil things and deceit. Undefiled and unbelieving same as Pharisees and Sadducees loves all things in this world because they follow the lust of their father, the devil.
That is my understanding, I hope this may help a little.

Judgment also involves trials, tests, persecution, tribulation, and many such things that sometimes makes life very difficult and uncomfortable, but also qualifies us to "...be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God."
Kat ~ This is a quote from Ray in 'Gehenna Fire Judgment' that you referred to. All I can say is that with my spiritual walk with God.... I can vouch for that! It hasn't been pleasant to say the least.
