                                                                Hi Doug,


 It appears in your reply that I have not conveyed my thoughts according to my belief in my understanding of Ray’s writings and how that understanding is applied to my attitude concerning my walk with Christ.

When I sin, I never say God made me sin although I do believe it was Gods intention that I took the course of action I chose.

I know full well that God temps no one to sin nor does God sin but I believe God created Satan for that purpose of bringing people into temptation. I believe God is responsible for what I do period but I’m accountable for my own actions because of my own depravity which also is of God creating us all in vanity but not without hope.

My understanding never says, oh God made me do it, there is a separation between God’s liability and any sin I may commit.

I do not have a throw up my hands attitude and say this sin is what God wants me to sin and conclude it must be this way but think this way is how God is teaching me what I’m to understand through experiencing good and evil.

I trust that my knowledge / understanding as I perceive all things of God is exactly where God wants me to be right down to the most minute detail of my understanding.

I think how blessed I am knowing I only believe in Christ because I was caused to believe in Christ by God’s doing. I see myself like the story Jesus told about a certain pharisee who said to God I’m thankful I’m not like that sinner over there or that beggar over there but I’m like the man in the story who won’t even raise his eyes to heaven but say’s forgive me God for I’m a sinner.

I know its not possible or that it’s an impossibility for me to save myself, I believe if God leaves just one thing up to me in order to receive salvation then salvation for me is lost, I will fail, miss the mark, screw it up.

My hope is in the death and resurrection of Christ.


Peace and love to all.

                                                           Hi Claudia,


Thank you for your kind words but it's important that everyone know I learned the truth right here at B.T. and still have much to learn, in fact it will take a lifetime.

This forum has been a great blessing to me and help me to understand my creator in a different shade of light, dispelled of lies, leaving me with truth.

This is a special website second to none and anyone finding this site and believing Ray's papers are being blessed very much.  :)


                                                                Hi Ricky,


I'm glad you understood the things I said as I feel I have not conveyed myself properly in prior post. We all learn together here and that is a most wonderful thing and its also why we are here.  :)




                                                                  Hi Loretta,


I like this church too, It's the only church I know where truth rules and I grow spiritually one day at a time, and that of course, is in Gods time!  :)
