> Introductions, Announcements, and More of Ray's Teachings

Hello to all

hbiytm:
Greetings to all. 8)
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself to the group.
I’ll start with how I got here. I was searching for an answer on tithing and selected to read Ray’s article on tithing which was an eye opener  :o for me, this then led to other articles and I couldn’t seem to stop. However, after reading many, many, many of the articles and e-mails I drifted to other web sites. I became confused  ??? and didn’t know what to do. (I left the last church I attended last fall.) Well, I’m back and looking forward to learning more about the word of God. 8)
I have been in church (almost) all my life. A few times I went for years without going anywhere. I have always had a problem with leaving my intelligence at the door,  ::) things didn’t always seem quite right. As soon as I was grown and left home, I also left the church I was raised in. Two of my brothers are pastors in that religion to this day. I spent some time in the Navy and talked to a lot of guys about their religion, trying to find truth, the more I found out the more I was confused, how could the bible say so many different things? Anyway I have been through many religions, Nazarene, Baptist, Pentecostal, “Full Gospel”, word/faith, Calvary Chapels, some of them more than once, and several periods of studying other religions on the Internet. So, you can probably see why I am a confused individual. ???
I have purchased many bibles and reference books over the years, but have not found the answers to my many questions until I came across BT. It finally is beginning to make a little sense. I still have questions but I am certain the Holy Spirit will lead and guide me into all the truth.

In search of TRUTH,

Jewel

P.S. In spite of the name I am a male. ;D

I have been reading and rereading the material on Bible Truths for over a year and I am constantly picking up new things, even when it is my 3rd or 4th time on the same article. All I can say is to patiently digest these papers with your mind and bible open, there is much treasure to be mined and keys to discovering many more on your own.

This is an incredible journey the Lord has us on.

I am happy to have you here,

Joe

Thanks Joe,
hbiytm= "Hey Baby I'm Your Telephone Man" It's what I do for a job, However, I will shortly be among the "retired" so I guess I'll have to change it, any suggestions? :) Just another leg on this journey called life.

Thanks for the welcome and I'm sure all here will be helping me along on God's journey for me. We are where we are because of his plan for our lives. Right? I would like to believe that God has me here for a purpose.

MG:
Welcome Jewel.

Glad you're here!

Hi Jewel,

Yes, you have been on a long journey. Now you can rest  and renew. Everyone here has questions, and we all have problems, but I know that we share a desire in our hearts to know the truth.

Welcome and God bless,
Chuck
