A Question about freewill
Jackie Lee:
Thank you again Diana it is almost bitter sweet, but yet I am so glad to know that I have a will and it is not without a cause.
Many times I had wondered why things work out so unusually strange.
Yet I have never had to miss a meal not once.
I have always had a decent place to live but yet sometimes my life seems like a roller coaster with some serious health problems and regrets of thinking I should have did better.
I have learned to depend on God.
Even before I found Ray's papers and this board I knew in my inner being surely God was bringing me to this point.
I have had deep regrets as we all have but I look at it differently now.
I see it as like you said Diana.. freedom knowing I am where I am suppossed to be at this time.
There are things I am still getting a grip on but I am understanding more every day.
The Beast will be my next study even though I have went over it, I Need to get a better understanding, even though I don't doubt for one minute I am the BEAST.
PRIDE.
Funny thing is not to be judging I see the beast in family members too.
I can't tell them that yet though, because it is not time and I may not be the one to even mention it at all.
God showed me through experiences so I would think he will show them.
Family members are the last that will take one serious anyway.
At least in my case. :D
Sometimes I feel so self involved I make myself Sick, it seems whenever I post it is always about me.
I really need to improve could this be the BEAST in me?
I am really thinking so.
Well anyway I am glad everyone here is patient and understand.
Thanks for letting me bend your ear. :)

Sorry I really don't have anything to add. I just re read this entire thread and was really blessed.
Free will is a tough one for me- so freeing as far as looking back at my "mistakes"- but confusing when we think of God causing us to do evil.
I agree that rereading and prayer and rereading and study and trusting the Lord to open our eyes at the right time is the only way out of confusion.

Hi Jackie Lee,
It is a really good idea to reread Ray's articles :)
I have noticed that when I read something the first time, even though I get a lot out of it, what I have determined is that I learn about things later in the article that I need to understand things in the beginning. So the things I read in the beginning of the article I need to reread to gain understanding from the things I learned later in the article. Does that make sense :-\
And that goes for all the articles, I learn things in every article that I need to understand things in other articles.
So there is this cycle of reading and rereading, but I gain more and more all the time.
So I hope you can make sense of this, because I think it means you really do need to read back over things to keep yourself growing in a deeper knowledge.
mercy, peace, and love
Kat
Jackie Lee:
Hi Kat you are right, I may not be understanding as much as I should be.
Thanks I will keep reading. :)

Yes That is so true.
I have just had my eyes opened enough to see I have so much more to learn.
