Great day of slaughter
Musterseed:
LOF 7, All overcomes receive all rewards
Perhaps ALL can rejoice over the good news concerning our grand rewards. However ther is a dark side to the churchs of God , darker than Darth Vater-darker than midnight. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Please explain this to me, are we not the churches of God or am I confused between church's (pl) and church (single) of God. Please have patience I am still learning to think spiritually. Thankyou

There are two churches.
There is 'the church,' and there is 'MY church.'
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter [a tiny rock], and upon this rock [Jesus] I will build MY church; and the gates of the grave shall not prevail against it.
From what you quoted, and I haven't gone back and looked but I think I remember that specific part now that you show me it, ray is talking about the carnal church that is in bondage now and answers to mount Sinai. This is the same church, the whole church, where in Satan's throne of power is. Babylon the Great. We are to come out of her, come out of that 'church.'
Satan most assuredly does not reside in the Church of the Living God. No. Ray was not referring to the Church of The Living God as having a dark side.
1 Timothy 3:14-16
14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Ephesians 2:5-7
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:19-22
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Hebrews 11:12-16
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 12:22-24
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Galatians 4:25-27
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (See also the many parables about the 'bridge and bridgroom' that Jesus spoke of)
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
This is the Church of the living God. This is Jesus' Church--'MY' church. It is comprised of God's Elect.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity."
God bless,
Alex

Pamela,
Your questions and inquiries are good! It is good to go back and look over these types of thoughts. I enjoy the subject very much, especially all the scriptures about the bride :)
Hopefully what I shared is helpful to you and maybe others can contribute as well.
God bless,
Alex

Pamela -
You raise some very interesting points:
--- Quote from: Musterseed on November 18, 2016, 05:07:42 PM ---Oh , it will get so much worse. Like Ray said in one of his audios, " believe me you don't want to know what's coming, just take each day as it comes" I forget which paper it was I read but he mentioned there was a dark side to being sons and daughters of God, He said " Darker than Darth.
Vater. What do suppose he meant?
I just finished reading our local paper, the local pastor writes an article every week. He always quotes famous authors or politicians but never writes a scripture of Jesus. ARRRRRG! Today's article is about how attending church not only improves your health but makes for a very satisfying sex life.
So there you have it, that's how bad it's getting. I expect to see on their billboards soon Good News,Good Sex. It would not surprise me at all. 😭, God help us all, and He will.🙏🏼
Peace to you my friend

Regarding you point about 'a dark side to being His sons and daughters' - this cannot be so - as 'In Him there is no darkness', and 'His Elect are to be in His Light, as He is Light'.
His Elect do indeed suffer much in this Age of Grace 'For His Names' sake'; and I believe it is how 'He moulds His Elect into His spiritual image'.
His Elect are not subject to His Wrath - and indeed cannot be - as His Wrath is for the wicked - so whatever evil the 'United States of America' has done, the men and women involved will suffer His Wrath (and this is the same for all evil men and women in all nations on the Earth).
But we must not forget that HE Will cleanse each and every one of His Children, including His evil sons and daughters.
One of the reasons I do not call myself a christian, is that I understand it means a retard - and I do not believe His Elect in The New Testament ever referred to themselves as Christians - but followers of Him and 'The Way'.
Kind Regards.
George
Musterseed:
Thankyou all so much fo helping me understand, there is so much to learn. My brain hurts.
I appreciate all you do, when I started reading the Word I also starting writing everything I was learning, I have found notepads all over the house LOL, now I have to put them all together and read them. Honestly I can't even remember writing half of it.I wrote this.
I am a spool,entwined with the thread of the Holy Spirit. It cannot be broken, nor cut,nor burned,
Nor unwound,until God decides to sew me a garment of fine linin. AMen
I love this scripture,"But who are you O man to answer back to God"(Rom.9:20)
It has much authority in it. I hope you are all well, we are blessed to be living in such interesting times. May the weight of His Glory fall on us. Have a great day🙏🏼
