Fellowship in Cape Town, South Africa
Rene:
Hi CDJ,
Welcome to the Forum. I do not know whether you will find like-minded persons to fellowship with there in your own town, however I do believe you will quickly start feeling less and less isolated and lonely now that the Lord has directed you here. Please feel free to reachout to us.
I look forward to reading your posts and experiencing your spiritual journey with you.

Hello CDJ
We are a scattered little flock of which Ray says maybe 200 in the world follow his teachings. We are a rarity! :D and a scarcity! ;D
We are blessed to be gathered together here in this Forum and our bond is our like-minded agreement to what we are learning in Ray's teachings. This bond can be said to be of more value than the bonds that the worldly carnal mind would care to establish with its ties to physical camaraderie rather on the foundation of the spiritual truth of Christ.
I have more joy here than I have ever experienced in flesh covered fellowship. Here the flesh is off (we can not see body language or hear tones of voice) which is a great advantage but the carnal still shows up occasionally which is a great opportunity to exercise our skills in what we are learning through Ray. It is a most fruitful stimulus to learning and integrating what Ray has given to us freely and we are here to help, encourage and edify one another which is a real blessing and privilege.
So far I have been blessed to have been able to spend precious time every day in the Forum and this time thinking, meditating and reflecting on what is said and what I want to say makes it so that I do not have time to gather in the flesh anymore! There is much too much going on here in spirit and in truth and real close fellowship that I need a more hours in the day! :D
How did you come to discover this site?
Peace to you

Hi all,
Wow, I've now come to realize, that I can set aside time everyday, for fellowship. Thank you for all the warm welcomes :)
How did I come to find bibletruths? Don't really remember what exactly I was looking for, but Lazarus and the Rich Man got me - I thought of how I remembered it previously, "How on earth could they get it wrong like that?". It's that hunger for the Truth that gets us going. Now I realize that I never really knew God, but that God was doing the steering, and first you have to learn who God is not.
I'm thankful for someone like Ray and the brothers and sisters, who make bibletruths and the forum possible - it's an enormous task but the yoke is soft, and the burden light.
I questioned a minister I know, regarding hell, after going through a transcript of his sermon which I attended. "How could they get it wrong?!" I was a little mmmm... angry. The answer was "You are asking highly theological questions, which can only be answered by great godsmen." From then on, I knew that the Truth is coming to light, so to say, and that God didn't hide the Truth between confusion here and there. I thought the Truth is hard to find, through all the millions of doctrines, but learned now that God made it simple for us, in the Truth being exactly opposite to what we know, spotting a false teaching crystal clear :)
I'm having a discussion with a friend of mine, whom I pray will see the Truth, and my heart got glad when he quoted a verse to me, Matthew 7:21, and I thought "wow!" - if only he knew what it really meant, so I replied "Go through the lessons quickly, so we can start fellowship!" I pray excitedly that he comes to see the Truth.
In excitement to know Christ finally.

Hello CDJ
I see you are on line. That is very unusual for me because my time zone is the same one you are in! I too am in Africa 100 kilometers north of Johannesburg! Usually when I tip toe into the Forum all our brohters and sisters in the USA and else where around the world are fast asleep.
I use the call more system and am usually in the Forum at 6am and then on line after 7pm.
Enjoy your day.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
