After years of searching , going to different denomination, and living with a certain fear of the after life when I thought about God and my destiny as a sinner I was totally turned off because nothing was really conclusive that would comfort my thoughts concerning the time of my death and final spiritual destination .
When I had first read Ray’s writing a peace came over me instantly, the way Ray presented his writings using multiple scriptures to prove God’s truth was incredible to me. Why was I able to believe while smarter people than me disbelieve ?
I can only conclude God is calling me if it were not so then I would be numbered with the disbelievers and Ray’s detractors.
Everything we do in this life is by cause and I know God caused me to purchase Ray’s book then caused me to give it as a gift to my friends and no doubt one day God will cause my friends to believe the truth Ray laid down in his book the lake of fire.
Its my hope it doesn’t take my friends ten years, personally I don’t think we have ten years left in this aged.

Hello Bob,
Now that statement is a statement of pure truth, it don’t get any purer than that! :)

Hi Ricky,
No politics, just a comment from an old Insurance salesman.
The "premiums" that we give the insurance company or the deductions we give SSA are not all saved up or deposited into an account for our future. Generally the funds deposited are used up in each calendar year to pay for persons who file claims in that year.
Consequently, it is necessary that new members are found to keep the funds coming in.
It operates like a so called "Ponzi scheme" which has limited life and SSA began about 1938 so you can see that it won't last much longer if it even has any funds now.
So presently SSA recipients are being paid out of current taxes and the Federal Reserve is printing "funny money" as fast as they can. It will last as long as the grocery store will accept your U.S. dollars and not a day longer. :-[
Have any Greek Euros??

Thanks Dave,
It's good that you are on your toes, we need to be a neutral as possible.
