Dennis -
Thank you for clarifying what this Forum is about; and how it differs from the others:
Certainly not Pamela - My comments were not directed to you at all other than explaining what this forum is about. I'm very sorry I gave you the wrong impression.
14 years ago on the first instance of this forum I let people discuss any and all things as an experiment and it quickly turned ugly as opinions were challenged and people's feelings were hurt. I learned then that we must keep the topics only about what Ray taught to keep this forum civil. Managing this forum continues to be a learning process.
FYI, that first forum went away and we lost everything because we did not have a good Internet host with good security and backups. We've had our current host for many years now and they have excellent security. We've only had a few minor problems over these years.
Security is very important because many dislike our message intensely and would destroy the site and this forum thinking they were doing God's work. But I don't think it is a bad as it was years ago when we were the only site preaching against hell and tithing. Now many sites have 'borrowed' Ray's teachings which I do not mind except many profit financially.
2Co 2:17 For we are not as the majority, who are peddling the word of God, but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God in Christ, are we speaking."
(Concordant)
I love 2 Corinthians 2:17.
Years ago, when a Minister asked me to work with him, he asked me to provide a suitable statement about his ministry.
The Lord gave me Matthew 10:8 B.
Matthew 10:8 (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give.
I did not go with the minister, as I was to-ing and fro-ing - and I was burdened by Him not to go.
This minister still believes the doctrines of the false church (e.g. speaking in unknown tongues, The Trinity, Hell, etc).
It is interesting that most christian ministries ask for their followers' money first above all else - yet there is no healing, cleansing, raising the dead or casting out demons (certainly not physically, and most assuredly not spiritually).
Warmest Regards.
George
