Back From Conference
Patrick:
Just arrived home myself. Good seeing you again, Rene! Also, nice to meet some new people and see some of the regulars. I missed seeing Kat, Gordon, and his wife. God Willing, we will see one another in the Fall.
What an awesome conference; It was a much needed attitude adjustment for me.
What a Loving God the Father and God the Son we have!!!

Could someone post the notes from the conference that Ray was to hand out Sunday?
My wife and I have six kids between us and couldn't figure out a way to get the kids taken care of for the Sunday part... thinking we would be there I didn't ask Ray for them Saturday.
Thanks!
Bobby
Nevermind! I just found them here: http://bible-truths.com/audio/notes.htm.
Thanks!

Craig, your post gave me chills (good chills) as I read it.
....WHAT A NEW AND UNEXPERIENCED CONCEPT (for myself) OF EVERYONE IN THE SAME ROOM BEING TRUELY ONE IN FAITH AND ONE IN UNITY THROUGH THE BOND OF PEACE!!! I have never experienced that before and I am so looking forward to that one day soon! :D I won't be able to read the info for a couple of days yet though!

Hi People!
This was my first time attending the bible conference.
I went at the last moment with hardly any money in my pocket but
I knew I had to go!!
I'm so glad I did!
I met some wonderful people and got to share stories
of how we stumbled on to this site! It was great!! It was amazing to hear
how we all have similar feelings towards the church today and the direction
its going. It was also interesting that some of the thoughts I had about God the father and Jesus
were similar to Ray's and others! I have never met so many people in the same place who
believed the same thing.
I agree with Craig, I loved the diversity at the conference!
We all loved the truth and would fight to seek it out!!
I never met so many who loved the word of God!!!!!!!!!
I hope to go to the fall conference!!

Greetings everyone!
Here is my first posting on the forum and I attended the conference solely motivated from the website only! I am looking forward to the Mobile conference.
Sunday was the most power-packed part of the conference, for me, especially when Ray spoke about Jesus from Isaiah 53 and he took some time to address being human. I never thought of Jesus as being "afflicted" or diseased even though I am familiar with the verses about carrying our diseases in his body or the predicted comment that some would tell him to heal himself. After a little listening, it became obvious to me that Jesus' walk was not easy and constantly fraught with some difficulty.
Ray addressed the question that I suspected was on everyone's mind, that is, "Am I part of the chosen?" I don't remember specifically what he said, but I was comforted to know that all is in God's will and if one is chosen, be prepared to be judged in this life (not that I want to suffer!). We all wrestle with sin, which is a necessary agent to help us develop into sons of God. I find that once I cover the basics (prayer, study, worship, fellowship) I am more concerned with pleasing than being pleased.
Another interesting point, -that is not well received by those who subcribe completely to a trinity- is the fact that Jesus was begottened! I ask about the definition of begotten and then I add Jesus to the definition and the subject changes. I think this is called cognitive dissonance. In reading the notes Ray prepared, I found the word God has a meaning not like what I expected and that "God" is a position more-so a person.
I have a few more things to comment on but time is pressing me to finish this posting.
I am only several decades behind in learning so I will read, beg God for understanding, and learn communicate so that I can catch up!
Grace and peace
