Ray is gone
Foxx:
well he also was so kind to point out Matthew was a tax collector, Peter was a fisherman, and Jesus was a carpenter; who were any of them to tell the high and mighty religious know-it-all's of the day any thing? That alone is a truth that blows away so much complex bull from the church leaders, they hated Ray for it and they don't even realize it.
As he said "I am not an expert in Hebrew or Greek" "you just have to pay attention to words". It was amazing that on any other subject these super smart people who went to seminary and school could have an intelligent conversation but the moment you spoke of the bible all their intelligence means a hill of beans because nothing they say is scriptural.
Gina:
Yep.
The one and only thing that set Ray apart in understanding from them is -- Ray actually believed what God wrote and God opened up his understanding. It is that simple. But it's a gift of God.
People ask me, ‘what makes you think you know more than all these ministers?’ In a haughty arrogant way, I don’t. But here is the answer to that, I know what they believe and why they believe it. But they don’t know what I believe and why I believe it, they don’t know that. That is a big difference.

24 Grams:
I hoped this day would not come but I did not fear it.
Like many I did not know him personally and only communicated with him once through an email. It is strange that I get this news on the 10th anniversary of my fathers death.
Although I feel for his wife and family we should remind ourselves in this age death is as natural as life...nor is it something to feel sad about (even though we all still do).
Personally, one of the most remarkable things I noticed from Ray was that he rarely spoke his "own" words. He rarely if ever gave an opinion on spiritual matters it was all from scripture. He always backed up points with scripture and back scripture with scripture...a true man of God.
He has left us with a wealth of information and writings (many I have personally yet to read).
Ray is not "gone" he is asleep, however the greatest force, the greatest power NEVER sleeps... God is our master and for this we should neither fear nor worry about anything.
Peace everyone.
