Hi Arcturus, I feel your frustration in regard to Ray being no more or less than any other. ???

Be not suprised, for surely the world can only "see" physical things, so they could not possibly see the "spiritual" aspects of Ray, just as they could not see Jesus for who he really was.

Seminole. the world can only see it's own.

Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.   (Mat 13:13)

To the world, Ray is like any other......in the very same was as Christ himself during his life here on Earth.

Jhn 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.  

The world is simply not equipped to "see" or understand spiritual matters.

However, all is not lost. Because Christ has promised the Spirit of Truth to some.

Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  

All is working according to God's plan; he is giving eyes to see and hearts to understand accordingly.

Jhn 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
 
Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

Clearly it is not up to man to even have an opinion regarding spiritual teachings. They neither see the Spirit of Truth and nor can that understand. To such, Ray IS like anyother, as are all of God's spiritual children.

1Jo 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.    

Hate is a very strong word; however, it does encompass many of the following attributes:

* scorn
* antipathy
* aversion
* belligerent
And surely judging by the many emails Ray recieves daily, many in this world feel this way. We need not be suprised, rather we should rejoice because we can know from this that Rays Scriptual teachings is Scriptual Truth.

Jhn 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. 

With love in Christ,
Darren

Gee Darren I wasn't frustrated and not a bit surprised either! ;D :D

Peace to you

Arcturus :)

YellowStone:
Yeah.....me either   ;D

Perhaps "amusement" would have been more appropriate?

Love to you in Christ,
Darren

YellowStone:
Too true, I should not have spoke in regard to your feelings.  ::)

I said amusement in retrospect of the way I find myself feeling more and more these days. For once I would feel hurt, indignant, anger, frustration because of what someone said, implied or did. Even still, I feel my carnal self begin to react in this way; yet, as I ask God to forgive me and to give me strength to overcome such emotions, my whole being begins to smile inside and out; because everything is working to God's will, everything for OUR GOOD. I know in my heart and soul that GOD has given me the means to suppress the desires of the carnal mind and I cannot help by smile at my carnal ignorance; it is a great defuser and the carnal emotions simply vanish.

I can see, hear God teaching me in everything; that there is no event in this life that is not for my ultimate good. This is comforting and worth smiling about. Truthfully, it puts everything into perspective. :)

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us? 

Does this make sense?  :)

Love in Christ,
Darren

Deborah-Leigh:
Here is the post I deleted ahead of your response Darren.  I deleted it because I did not want to make you look wrong and I see you have understood it is not so appropriate to assume we can read one anothers feelings as we communicate on the Forum. So here, for the benefit of the Forum is the post you have responded to.

Wrong again.  :D

It is painful to be on any learning curve for anyone. I simply pointed out what I think not in trivialising or making fun or jest of anyone. You would understand this I am certain.

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
