Ray is gone
jeetkunejimi:
There is a great joy amidst the sadness of Ray's passing. He is further on than us all now, he is at peace. When I was called out of Babylon by God (Rev 18:4), it was a very crazy time and my family was suddenly blanked by our former congregation member and all sort of accusations were thrown at me and my wife. Needless to say God sent me to Ray's sight and things started to get a whole lot better and God through Ray started opening my eyes to His wonderful liberating truths. I'm sure all you guys have similar stories to tell.
God bless Ray, his family, his closest friends, and all the members of this form at this time of reflection and sorrow.
May Ray's writings on this site stand and go on as a testimony to the true gospel of Christ until our Lord returns and all are reconciled to God through Jesus.

--- Quote from: JohnMichael on May 29, 2012, 08:41:20 AM ---I am glad that Ray is no longer in any pain. In regards to any last thoughts about him, he was a man. Plain and simple. He was a stinking, carnal dirt pile just like me. He is a future son of the Father just like me. I don't elevate him beyond being that. The Father and our Lord use whomever they will.
When the Lord revealed truth through a donkey to the prophet Balaam, Balaam did not worship the donkey (Numbers 22:28-31). The apostle John was rebuked for trying to worship the angel (Rev 22:9). Our Lord told the Pharisees that rocks would cry out in praise, to fulfill prophesy (Luke 19:40).
I look forward to meeting Ray when our carnal natures have been destroyed.
In Him,
John
--- End quote ---
You say, "In Him". Really?
Is it not the truth that you resent Ray because he showed you where you were in error about his paper where Ray stated that God hates sin and the sinner? He proved you wrong with multiple scriptures. In the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established.
Think it over. Is it Ray you resent, or the scriptures themselves?

C'mon Guys
No debating. Let's not show up our carnality. John I am asking you not to respond to JFK.
It's not worth it.

Gina:
My conscience is clear. I am not guilty of worshipping Ray.
Loving him, giving thanks for him, remembering and speaking of the good he did, and attempting to follow and obey what he taught us will never be synonymous with worshipping him.
No one should be guilty of "kicking" him, either. I hope you feel better soon, JohnMichael. In the meantime, please try to have some compassion for those who love and appreciate him?
Thank you.

When I think of Ray in this regard this scripture comes to mind.
Rom 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Jas 3:1 My friends, we should not all try to become teachers. In fact, teachers will be judged more strictly than others. (cev)
Ray was a teacher. That is all he claimed for himself. Being a teacher he was one of the few out there that was very careful in what he taught as he was aware of the warnings of James. Because of the way he taught and how he lived his life he is certainly worthy of honor even though he was only a vessel that God used. I should do so well........ ???
