I discovered it was all in vain.

I have been in situations where I disagreed with what was being said and I said so, I think people may think you agree if you remain silent, but I seldom go further,

Hello Kat,

Sounds like good advise, at least it would be easier that way. I felt compelled to tell my friends the truth, the thing now to do is not say anything further unless they ask me to explain why I believe as I do but for the most part, I placed in their hand a great book full of truth, what they do with is up to God and God only.
 
I will also like to say maybe God was showing me through my friends that for once in my life I was steadfast in my understanding an belief in my God given truth laid out by Ray.

For the first time in my spiritual life or belief my foundation was not shaken and filled with doubt because of their disbelief of these truths that we here at B.T. have come to understand and cherish. Maybe that’s what God was showing me, that no longer am I a leaf in the wind but now have a sure foundation to plant my feet upon.   :)

The way I see it if we are lead by the Spirit of God, nothing he has us to do is in vain.

Hi Joel,

Only now can I see my threat title was worded poorly and without much thought.
Surely your right about that. I’m beginning to think it wasn’t about my friends as much as it was  about me, my whole life was lived as doubting Tomas.

Always doubting what I was being taught about God or at least going back and forth with it, only now can I see God caused me to always doubt, somehow He protected me and reserved me for a much later time in my life and that time is now.

I think many can relate to these things I say.

Hi Largeli,

I know not the day or hour but my personal belief is we are in the day’s of Noah and the kingdom of God is at hand. I don’t have two scriptures to back that statement up and if someone tells you they do don’t believe them.   :)

Hello Tim,

That is so true Tim but we are blessed to understand this no free will thing , and only God can change our mind and heart and until then we remain the same made in vanity people we are.

I too have spoken of our beliefs when it seems the right thing to do.  If someone asks me sbout it, then I can speak in greater detail.
  Rick, you said in your first post " and the number of God’s elect is 144,000 " . It is not your understanding that is a literal number, is it? Ray taught all those numbers signified something else. just hoped you could clarify.
