How did it get started?

Amen Pera! ;D

I think I found bible truths sometime around August of 2005. Back then the "forum" was a simple Yahoo group! Shortly after it moved where it is now I got caught up in "life" and working way too much, and didn't post for quite some time. Eventually I came back, but my name had been deleted somehow and had to sign back up.

Anyways,  ;D, I've wondered in the past why Ray seems so "defensive" and "offensive." I've come to realize he's not at all. You've seen some of the mail that guy gets! People trash talk him like there's no tomorrow. People also try to tell him the way they see it and put him down for not believing it. His address is there for questions and comments sure, but not belittling him. I've seen people call him a heretic, tell him he's going to burn forever in hell, call him a liar, call him evil, I've seen all kinds of junk thrown at him.

If I were in his position, and got honest mail, I'd give an honest response. On the flip side, getting cursed at and put down wouldn't gain you much of a pleasant response. Realize he never gets jaded enough to not answer truthfully. He challenges lot's of people to quote two scriptures that prove him wrong. I challenge you to show me two of his email responses that contained an answer that's not true.  ;)

Anyways, as I've grown I've come to realize exactly where he's coming from in his email responses. But I digress. Feel what you're led to.

awesome stuff you guys i to remember the first time i found this sight i laughed ,i cryed ,the burden of lies about hell lifted off my shoulders and finally the peace,   seeing  God clearly made my heart leap and i finally found his rest,knowing "it is God who wills and acts in you according to his good pleasure".praise God if I ever need a good laugh i just read the way God deals with these blind fools through Rays emails.I just love his honesty and sarcasim.(proverbs 16:1)"the preparations of the heart belong to man,But the answer of the tongue is from the Lord"amen .God Bless Ray and all his helpers.Little Rock.

--- Quote ---Let me suggest that if you have a problem with the way Ray addresses those who email him, take it up with him personally and let him speak for himself... rather then bringing it up here where I guarantee no one can answer for Ray or why he does what he does better than himself.

His email address is located on the bottom portion of the main page, www.bible-truths.com.

God's Peace

Thanks Josh, you saved me the time answering, and you did a better job.

As for this thread we will stop the speculation, of how you would answer.  Though I'm not locking this, Nole this could have turned into a perfect example of why a thread is locked.  The moderators have a bunch of experience on how a subject turns bad, and we nip it in the bud.  I don't think you can ask a question that has not been addressed at least one time through the years.  We have a good memory of what happens in the past and a subject sometimes gets locked.

Pay attention to Josh's post and if you don't like how we moderate (lock, etc) I'm sorry, but we are not here to satisfy everyone, I learned a few years ago that is impossible, or as Joe says like "herding a room full of cats.   If you don't like the way Ray teaches, or answers emails then take it up with him.

How did Ray's site start up? Who originated it? I read a good bit before joining and don't see many names that were there back when I started reading. In one of the e-mails Ray made some comment about "taking Ray Smith down" in reference to what the person wrote. Those who personally know him, is he happy to speak badly of people or is it a defensive thing for himself? Just wondering. E-mails got me thinking about it.
