Followers of L.Ray Smith ?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Pierdut:
I am definitely not a follower of Ray because I disagree with him on a lot of things, but I wont get into that on here because I don't want to open up that can of worms. These are mostly non-scriptural things.

Anyway,  to be a 'follower' of someone you have to agree with them on everything. I do not. But I do believe he had great understanding when it came to Bible matters, and I learned a lot from him. Or rather,  God used Ray's foolishness of preaching to teach me some things.

Pierdut:
I did not mean to imply that any of ye are 'followers of Ray,' and I meant to include that in my previous post, but forgot.

I liked Ray's sense of humor; he was entertaining and not boring to listen to, or read. And within that, there were also a lot of profound things which once heard or read made me view the Bible in a whole new light. I would then try to tell others (Christians)  some of these things that God opened up my understanding to but they were unable to see them, and even said that it is 'from the devil.' But I can clearly see that it is true and is in harmony with the rest of God's Word. The Bible does not contradict,  but Christian theology is full of contradictions, and therefore wrong (to put it mildly).

Dave in Tenn:
Oddly, I didn't 'like' Ray when I first started reading.  Still oddly, it was for some of the same reasons some didn't 'like' Paul.

I can identify with what Loretta said...that it was scriptural confirmation of some things I had already come to at least question and begin to see.  But mostly since then, it's been in seeing that the 'truth' is so much better than anything else I ever believed.

I don't know if 'follower' is the right word, but I'd like to be more like Ray.  But I gotta be me, what else can I be but what I am?   ;) 

dave:
I miss Ray, appreciate the forum and at times still do, I was a follower of Jesus Christ and the Bible long before I was led to BT. What I learned from Ray does not make me a follower Ray. Besides the 12 Truths, the most important word I received from Ray and should have known it, but I didn't but now I do......
READ ALL THE WORDS. That may make me a follower of Ray and if so, I thank the Lord for that word. :)

zander:
You are probably not going to gain an awful lot by emailing your christian friends links to this site.  As people have said, tell them only if they ask.  It's  bit like when Christian's preach to you in the street.  It's annoying and forceful.  You have your truth, share it only If asked.
