Arcturus,
Yep. That's why I am resolving to have the rest of the papers read by the end of the month.
Sincerely,

Susan,
I remember reading that as well. Gotta go and figure out where though.

--- Quote from: hebrewroots98 on January 01, 2007, 07:19:25 PM ---I thought that I had read something by Ray lately about 'those who have a FORM of Godliness but the truth is not in them...' are the ones who are called the 'vessles of dishonor'. Plus, since they are not wanting the whole truth, thus we are to stay away from such! Was he not speaking of 'christians'? (I don't mean to pick on them.) Please remind me of where I saw this posted by Ray, if you remember, and correct me if I misquoted here. Thanks.

Hello Susan,
Well I definitely don't have a 'form of godliness' and I think I do have [atleast] a bit of the Truth in me. But I wouldn't call myself a 'Vessel of Honor' no, God hasn't really treated me as such and I definitely don't have what I desire but I do have untold amount of shame, regret, pain, misery and sorrow and [at times] even loneliness.
Sometimes I don't even want to go on living, because my life's so hard and all the shame [from the past] and it seems like there's no point [at times], but I guess it's the hope that maybe, just maybe God will have enough pity [on me] to finally answer my prayers that keeps me going... and I know that no one can change God's mind and when He answers a prayer He first inspires us to pray in accord with what must be so since [we must first pray before He can answer a prayer] I keep feeling inspired to pray, that gives me hope.
So anyways, my point here was that I don't consider myself a 'Vessel of honor' but I do view some of you on this site as such.
Take care,
Sorin

Love God, love your neighbor, obey the Word...you are on your way....
I was really shocked to read this. I thought it was really all God's choice on who was chosen and that there was only going to be a few. I'm with Sorin, I can't really say, I sorta just hope I only get a few stripes. I have had a pretty good life with not too many bad things in it. Married, happily for 33 years. Good kids. Awesome granddaughter, twins on the way. Good job, nice house.......so I don't think....well, I can't even bring myself to say it.
So many of you, my brothers & sisters on this forum, have gone to helll & back in your lives and here you are singing His praises. I feel many on this forum are vessels of honor and will be chosen/called to lead the rest of us bcz of your fiery trials.
Sorin (Sor reen to the newbies), you know how I feel about you. I am so proud of you to share with us what you hope for and how you feel. Please let the past go. So what if you didn't do all the right things-sin is sin there are no degrees of it. But don't keep thinking about it or base your destiny on the past. Fugedaboutit!!! As God is in control, and as you are praying His will, you will get what you ask. Hope. Be patient. Learn Study stay here w/ us. I know we will be hearing good things.God IS Good. Take heart my friend!
love,
gena
