After reading this forum rule i would like to share what I'm learning from Ray's teachings.
Reading Ray's material, i' have realized that we are in the business of words. I'm learning(very very very slowly) how to choose my words, because i see that's what Ray does so well. I see we tend to argue/debate/give opinions amongst ourselves on the forum without thinking before we speak type. I mean, i saw a forum member call a moderator an 'unbeliever', and i thought wooooow, that's dangerous!Isn't that what the detractors used to call Ray?
So since then, I've been trying to choose my words when i talk to members of the forum, especially when i disagree with them. I mean who knows who you could be calling a name?Could it be a disciple of Christ?One who'll make it in the end? After all, were we not warned by the forum rules not to name call?Even our Master warned us about name calling a brother.How's that for a 2nd witness to the above rule by the moderators. Do you think its a coincidence that the moderators made a rule of no name calling?
So all this, words this, words that, that I've been thinking about, got me asking questions that you could consider.
Since our Master said,"everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken."
1. Do you think before you speak type?
2. Does the "everyone" Christ speaks of include me as well, even if i believe these truths?
3. Will "every empty word" spoken on the forum be taken into account?
I pray that God be patient with us.
