WOW
Musterseed:
As I write, I am shaking. I experienced today something you have all talked about. Babylon.
I went to visit my friend today who has fourth stadge breast cancer. So sad, she looks like a
Holocost survivor, so frail. I love her and although we were able to have a few laughs and talk about friends and family, I really wanted to quell her free of dying which she has every right to do
because she doesn't know the truth. Out of love for her , I decided to tell her about God raising the dead, salvation for all, how God will leave no one behind. She said" how do you know"? I said
It's written in your Bible, it's scripture, God's word. God's promise." I naively thought she would
Ask me to read it to her..... She is a Baptist, hell believing , tither. I did not know this. She never spoke about this in the four years I have known her. She just said she believed in God. ...Well...
the beast arises even from the sick and dying. She went up one side of me and down the other, emediately I thought of the many warnings, I read here, do not throw your pearls. I was devastated, she say exactly what I have read in Rays papers, "well if God is going to save all, why can't we all just sin? Your bible is not like mine, everyone interprets differently, etc, etc. And
I could not believe my ears when she said" I hate the Catholics", I told her God says we must love our enemies ,I felt so bad because here is my friend possibly going to die soon and I upset her. I feel terrible. Right away I called to Jesus and told Him I was sorry and help me. I apologized to Beverly, kissed her and changed the subject.
Thank God the VON nurse and her husband came, I just wanted to leave.
I felt like dung, walking home, how could I do such a thing?😞 I was ashamed.As soon as I got home, I went to BT
General Dicussions, clicked on a random number and this thread.
Ninny. Re. Wow. July 10, 2009. About Ray getting better
Someone had a post Philippians 1:15... "Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
Vs. 16...The latter do it out of Love knowing that I am put here, for the defence of th Gospel.
Thankyou Jesus. Lesson learned. I'll never do that again unless I am asked directly. I am much calmer now, Thank the Lord.He is so good. I do not like Babylon. Thanks to all here on this forum,
It is a soft place to fall. I hope I planted an itty bitty seed today. God Bless You all 🙏🏼 Pamela

Sorry to hear that went so poorly. Why do we have to learn these things the hard way, hey?
octoberose:
You didn't do anything wrong at all. Not everyone reacts the way your friend did. Some are quiet or questioning or even grateful. Some just say they don't see it that way. But not everyone goes off on their friend like that. You stepped out in faith and your intentions were only good. And when she does die and her next sight is the Great White Throne, she may just be saying " Oh My Goodness, she was right! "
How were you to know she would act like 'swine'? Now, that you know, you won't pursue it but I think we make a mistake by not speaking up.
God will work this out and will show your friend the hardness of her heart. And God will bless you for your faith.

Hi Pamela,
So sorry to learn of your difficult experience with your friend.
A scripture comes to mind.
Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
So please be patient with yourself, God knows our hearts and this experience will lead to righteousness.
Musterseed:
Thanks so much guys. God said to love our enemies.I really want to obey
Our Lord. I remember Ray said in one of his papers that God Loves us for who we will be and not who we are now. I am inspired to Love all humanity as a whole for what it will be, not what it is now. I believe it is easier that way, for me. God taught and chastened me today. I thank My Lord
God for His Love and understanding and to you also. 🙏🏼God Bless You
I truly in my heart feel very sad for those, who cannot right now experience this amazing Love.
My God, how Blessed we are.🙏🏼 Pamela
