Well if you read my first post, you know I have a lot of questions still. I figured to just put all my questions in one post, and hopefully just get pointed in the right direction in the bible, or in Ray's articles. Welll here they are...oh and as a reminder I come from the Catholic faith.
1. Many people have claimed to see visions of Mary, or have had her speak to them, or give them spiritual gifts, such as the rosary and scapular. I know Jesus is the only person in heaven, but how exactly are these visions explained? Does Satan have the power to not only portray himself as Mary, but to also speak of biblical things?
2. Stigmata? Has this happened in the bible?
3. Jesus says to his Deciples, "Take this bread and wine, and eat and drink it, in memory of me." I've been brought up to take bread and wine and believe it is his flesh and blood in church. However I learned that it is the spiritual bread and wine we are to take daily through the bible and Ray's teachings. If Jesus says to eat and drink the bread and wine in remembrance of him, are we to also physically eat bread and wine when taking him spiritually? If we are, does it have to be blessed?
4. If I am to begin a bible study group, which would be considered church if I read Ray right, what things would I do? Just read the bible and discuss? Include bread and wine (if question 3 is answered yes)? How could I make it different, or by what guidelines should I follow?
5. I plan on getting married, if I no longer go to the Catholic church anymore, how do I get married? And Where should I get married? Is it still ok to be married by a priest?
6. Why did God destroy the Earth the first time with the flood? ( a question brought up last night in a family discussion)
Well...I thought I had more, or this is just all I can think of right now. Any answers, pointers, or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Godbless
