Hello Theophilus,


I found a period of confusion in my life from the transition of Christendom and its many false doctrines to some of God’s truths as revealed by Ray’s understanding of scripture.

I have a greater awareness of God’s love and truths today than at a previous time in my life, I have recently found myself asking when engage in certain things I do, would Jesus do this or would Jesus do that.

Although in many cases the answer would be no, Jesus would not, I have an awareness of my offences. Unlike Christendom, it’s not about condemnation but rather more about repenting.     
 ( all sin has been paid for at the cross by Jesus )

I discovered as God’s truths start to expose the lies of false doctrine I had been taught at a previous time I am being set free. ( it’s a process )

I come to understand there is nothing out of order in this life nor has God’s creation run amuck, whatever ( is ) was intended from the beginning for the express purpose of all humans ( being made ) in the image of God our creator. ( it’s a process )

I’m learning new and exciting truths about God’s word and it has make a huge difference in my life. Many thanks to Bible truths.
 
Thank you for your response to this thread Theophilus.  :)

Learning similar stuff Rick- becomes especially interesting when both hands and feet are nailed down and you really cant move till He says so - when your wife, kids and friends turn on you,and forsake you it does become despairing - when cars and houses and reputations get removed....

"Oh God grant us patience and increase our faith"

Hello Ian,

I like how you mentioned ( when both hands and feet are nailed down ), it kind of coincides with        ( no free will ) does it not.

I believe my hands and feet were always nailed down, I never made an uncaused choice , and for this cause we are all nailed down, all sin is forgiven, all that is left is repentance through experience and knowledge and always in God’s time.

I cannot learn patience unless some adversity comes my way, I cannot learn forgiveness unless some sort of evil happens to me.

Whatever happens in my life was meant to happen for my own good even though I prefer to flee some of those thing that do befall me but then again not my will be done , but Gods will, will be done in and through me.


I find life’s experiences to be difficult, frustrating , harsh and annoying but I also find life’s experiences to be enjoyable, peaceful  loving, kind and gentle. Guess that could indeed be considered contrast.   

I love the God that Bible truths has presented over the god that Christendom has taught me. I cannot direct my own footsteps but I’m happy where God is taking me even when the day is rainy and the nights are cloudy, for I know the Son will always shine through and never leave me.  :)

Hello Ian,

whatever the word of God tells us to do is a good thing. Problem I find as a human being is in the performance of those things.

When God says to me, now you will stop is when I will stop doing whatever it may be that He God desires me to stop.

Until then I accept the things I cannot change, thankful for the things I through God can change and never forgetting its God who does the changing.

For the first time in my life I’m at peace with our Father who is the cause of all things whether directly or indirectly, all is of God.

I’m just a piece of unfinished clay in the hands of our creator, check me out when He is done and you’ll be amazed and me along with you.   :)
