You are right about not getting the bigger picture from the written communications we have from Ray Joe!
his audios are most helpful to allow us on other continents or who are not able to come to visit Ray, to appreciate the mood and attitude of his statements! These can so easily be mis-understood or seen as angry or hostile as he is often accused of being! When you HEAR the gentleness, wisdom and effortless clarity and truth as he speaks and refutes error, then you begin to experience patience, humility and reverence for God that comes through via Ray.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

I found this scripture interesting in relation to this topic.
1Timothy 5:17 - Let elders who have presided ideally be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who are toiling in word and teaching.
Ray has been blessed with gift of spiritual understanding and we have been recipients of this blessing. It is ALL of God!
Peace,
Rene'

Amen Rene!

! Thes 5 : 12,13 Now also we beseech you, brethren, get to know those who labor among you, recognize them for what they are, acknowledtge and appreciate and respect them all - your leaders who are over you in the Lord and those who warn and kindly reprove and exhort you. 13 And hold them in very high and most affectionate esteem in intelligent and sympathetic appreciation of their work.
Peace to you

Arcturus, my sister what a wonderful Scripture.
After reading it several times, I have come to the realization that there are many here that labor amongst us, yourself included. :)
Of course there is Ray, but then there are the Moderators whose task is to: "warn and kindly reprove and exhort." And then their are the brothers and sisters of Christ, who through much diligence and perseverance, bring forward for the attention of others, Scriptures and snippets of articles or responses of Rays.
Thanks for posting this. :)
Love in Christ,
Your brother, Darren

Amen to all the above posts.
Just one more thing. Uh, gee, where is the "give, give" button on his site?? Does he live in a mansion?? Does he own several rolls royces???? Does he wear Armani??? Does he & his wife own jets???? Do all his kitties have diamond necklaces??? I am being silly but you know what I mean.
Yeah, I am following him all right, straight to the Bible and trying to be real & honest and loving. He is a great role model. I thank God for him and for God blessing me thru him.
