I learned that:

I'm powerless to make myself stop sinning.
I can't please everybody all the time.
A person convinced against their will, is of the same opinion still.
And last but not least, God is very, very wise and very, very patient.

You hit on a good one Mike.  It's a real miracle that we can understand anything spiritual at all considering that most of the scriptures were written in Hebrew and Greek.  And then translated into Latin and from Latin to Old English and then to contemporary English not to mention the other languages.  [Also of course the scriptures were later translated directly from Hebrew and Greek to English thereby bypassing the Latin] 

When I consider the word 'hell' which everyone today think they know what it means because of the teachings of the church but yet as Ray taught that the root of that word had an entirely different meaning in 1611 than is currently understood to mean today.  And of course the contemporary church will fight tooth and nail over the meaning of that word today and don't want to hear that it doesn't mean what they are all sure that it means.  LOL

Today we have access to our tablets and notebooks that have E-Sword and other study aids that would of required a whole library of books in the past.  And we can look up things today in seconds that would of taken our Grandfathers and Grandmothers hours to look up not all that many years ago.  To be able to look up how verses are rendered in various bibles almost immediately and then be able to click on a particular word and see how that word is used in Greek and Hebrew gives us tools that we are blessed to have at our finger tips.  So it's a great reminder to pay attention to all the words as just a word to two can drastically change what a verse might say with only a casual perusal.

WELL... one of the first things I learned was that the Christian church was Mystery Babylon the Great Mother of Harlots. This was pretty big for me, because I was still there!! This knowledge released me from that prison, "come out of her My people," I could not run away fast enough! The veil was removed and I could see it for what it really was... with of course Ray's elaboration on all that.

The most exciting thing I learned was the salvation of the whole human race (and the spirit realm as well)... the big difference and critical to understand from what the church had taught is that for the great majority of people that does not happen in this lifetime. Ray really pressed home the knowledge that salvation only comes to the few now, in this lifetime, for the many it's in the next age.

The most surprising, yet for me easy to catch on to, was that we have no free will. That had never even crossed my mind before Ray taught about "The Myth of Free Will Expose."

And then there was the numerous profound truths learned almost daily from the continued study at BT.

Christ Jesus is the same God that was in the OT and is not one part of a Trinity.

Satan actually has his throne in the Christian church.

Hell is a complete hoax, so is heaven.

The Scripture does not speak in terms of eternal, for ever and ever, and everlasting, but to the age.

The "days" of creation are not literal 24 hour days, but "yoms," very long periods of time.

The soul is produced/created when the spirit/breath of life enters into a newborn baby... then it vanishes away when the spirit return to God at death of the body.

All the dead in the grave are in a state of unconsciousness, the unseen or imperceptible. Their only hope to live again is in resurrection.

The beast is the carnality in US.

We are all in darkness unless the 'Light' of the Holy Spirit becomes indwelling, God's free gift of salvation for a very few now, by God's grace - Divine Influence on the heart.

The few are only 'begotten' in this life, and will be 'born' into the kingdom at Christ's literal return, to become glorified spirit beings.

The human race will be resurrected to physically live on earth and be judged in the great white throne judgment - the lake of fire, which is the next age.

We cannot earn or in any way qualify for salvation, we cannot even choose to come to/know God, every good thing we receive is a 'gift' from God.

Oh goodness I guess I could go on and on, I'll stop there though.

mercy, peace and love

Rhys 🕊:
Well said Kat. I would echo those as well for me.

One of the big ones for me was to see that death is not such bad news after all as that will be defeated too and the good news is salvation is indeed for all whatever people believe at the moment.

The lets get as many people saved as we can has been replaced with a more genuine love of those around me.

For me a lot of the confusion has gone as what the church was saying and what the word was saying were not in agreement.

True freedom is now what I feel.
