I'm new here! I was accepted! Whoohoo!
Loverly:
Hey Chosen Few!
I stumbled across this site over a week ago and have joyously read my every loverly brains out every day! :)
Long story short. I was steeped in "funnymentalist" Christendom from birth and even graduated from Bob Jones University. I lived out the good prodigal daughters life until my 30's when I decided that God was stupid and I wanted happiness so I lived out the bad prodigal daughters life to the fullest! I was married for 22 years to a fundamentalist also lived a hypocritical life. Upon hearing from my 12 year old that she was being fondled daily by her daddy (yes my husband!) I had to kick him out and never let him return. My sand castle kingdom was flattened to fine powder in every aspect including financially. I was angry with God of course and continued on my path of destruction and still claiming I knew Jesus. 2 years ago Yeshua drug me to repentance and after that has given me His "hunger and thirst for righteousness" and studying the Word. All family on both sides, all steeped in Christendom shunned, verbally assaulted and left us for dead blaming me for my husbands actions. Even husband blamed me and never has repented.
Our church and all "Christians" shunned us as well. That was a huge eye opener!
God used all of this to bring me to Himself and also my daughter age 16. My 18 year old son however has not turned and is verbally abusive to us for our beliefs. I'm a single mom with only Yeshua to help me. He took everything away, house, husband, money, people, family, friends etc etc etc and started from scratch to build a new creation! He gave me no choice at all to follow Him or not. I have learned to obey His voice and His only. The "arm of flesh" fails every time but Yeshua never fails!
He has me on a walk of faith right now financially which has been crazy but I obey. Just hit my neighbors car today backing outta the drive way (college son was home and parked it there!) but knew it was for a reason and just thanked God for it. No income for a year and a half and only a couple of months bill money, but whatever.....it's God's problem not mine!
I home schooled my kids up until both were accepted into a high school early college program 5 years ago. They both have taken high school and 2 years of college at the same time. They both started at age 14 and my life fell apart only 2 months after my son's first semester. So I've been doing this alone now for 9 semesters! I have no family in this town and really no friends to speak of. Pretty single mom's don't get invited ANYWHERE where couples are! lol I'm the mom, dad and entire pit crew to get them through school.
My daughter and I had already been called out of the organized church awhile now. We stopped attending way back in May and were trying to figure out what in the world to do. I study the Bible a lot and realized that I don't believe in a 2nd 2nd coming (it just wasn't adding up) so was researching that and a bunch of other things when I found this site. I didn't get angry at all but knew Ray was right and have appreciated all of the hard work he did in his studying! What an huge blessing!
My daughter knew it was right as well. God is teaching her right along with me and she has an amazing discerning spirit. The minute I told her there was no hell we both knew it was truth and our burden of fear lifted! We hated that doctrine and were weeping over friends and my son more than once a week! Just wasn't jiving in our spirits! We both know what the Refiners Fire in our souls really does and has been doing! No need to explain that to us! LOL WE GET IT!
Anyway, we are happy to know there are a few people out there that understand these truths and I'm excited to talk with a few of you! :) We have never met a true believe/follower of Jesus...man or woman EVER! I have over 400 people on my FB account mostly all in Christendom (many professors, the daughter of Bob Jones III and even the PR man of BJU!) and they all think I've lost my mind completely.

John from Kentucky:
;D ;D ;D ;D Your fellow crazies welcome you.
We do not believe a loving God will torture his creatures for eternity. And they think we're nuts. Go figure. ;D
Loverly:
Thanks John!!!!
I know right? LOL We thought we were loosing our minds to believe this stuff but low and behold an entire forum of you from around the world! whoohoo! We knew what the Holy Spirit was teaching us!
