God bless.   :)

Excellent summation, and one that is completely fair, in my opinion.

Go to virtually any comments section on a popular website (YouTube, Facebook, sports websites) and it won't take long to see how stupid people can get. I don't think this forum would go that low, but it would get messy in a hurry if we didn't have that no teaching rule.

People who think it's unfair (or think Ray is a cult leader) are foolish. There are many places on the internet to debate and argue and teach; we're even allowed to "teach" each other on here if desired--as long as it's via private message. It's really not asking that much to limit the discussions to what we've learned from Ray's teaching. :-X

Years ago I realized I can get over most, if not all physical sins sooner or later. But getting over vanity/ego is very difficult.

Someone has one belief and another person a different belief. When mixed ego's can cause strife which destroys the peace on this forum.

Jas 3:16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Extol:
Don’t be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you’d have a perfect person, in perfect control of life.

 A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it!

--- End quote ---

I've long thought that lust would be the hardest sin for me to overcome; but more recently I've been thinking pride (vanity/ego) will be more difficult still. Lust is pretty straightforward; pride is more subtle. There have been times when I've thought "I'm doing pretty good right now. I'm not lusting, I'm not angry, things are going well..." and all the while my thoughts were full of vanity. Lust comes and goes (though being young, it usually is coming rather than going); but the ego is always there, just itching to take over my thoughts and tell me why I'm better and smarter than everyone else.
