Why are we so annoyed when they don't get the truth ?
jER:
Synonyms: annoy, irritate, bother, irk, vex, provoke, aggravate, peeve, rile.
These verbs tend to mean; to disturb or disquiet a person, usually, to the point of anger.
Although, not always. However, Rile is interesting, as it implies anger that is openly displayed.
I wonder if, perhaps, Jesus was not slightly (annoyed) riled at the money-changers? Yet, without sin!

Hi mrsnacks,
I think I know this frustration you are taking about, don't we all ;)
When your trying to explain something to somebody and they're just not getting it.
Well I was thinking about all the things I've read and experienced. I'm thinking knowledge is built layer upon layer as we are learning things and through our experiences. So we have all this data of things we have learned, our knowledge.
And then we come to BT and find out so much we thought was right and good, is not :-\ So now God is burning out what's false and putting in what's truth.
But what I was trying to get to, is how do you express to another person in words, all that it has taken you to come to an understanding of. It's frustrating, you try to may a point about something and other things keep coming into your mind. I have some a lot of difficulty with this.
I wonder how easy it will be to communicate when we are spirit :)
mercy, peace, and love

That's true Kat,
What some notice in a lot of the "Email to Ray", is that a LOT of them come at Ray with their own preconceived notions of the bible. Which is usually stuff "the annointed God's Man Of the Hour" shouts without any scriptural proof.
Such notions are idols of the heart that God is indeed burning out of those He chose from the beginning.
The carnal mind is truly EMNITY against God. But this won't prevail in the end.

mrsnacks, I liked your explanation in bible class. Utterly helpless we are. People do not like to think that. They have to have some semblance of control.
No hands, no legs, not wanting the gift, God giving the gift and He and He alone GRACES us w/ the gift! We have done nothing to earn it, deserve it, or desire it. It is ALL Him!
And yet those people will cling to the" I have to get up, walk over, and grab the gift (free gift)" in order to actually get it. If I choose not then a reasonable penalty is a kabillion centuries of torture in hell.

Duh!!! Why are we surprised when we present God's Word and it is rejected ????
Jesus told us Himself
(Mat 7:6 KJVR)
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
The reason why we get upset is because ....we have to watch the dogs and pigs trample the Word and also watch as they return to their vomit and do not like it much when we ourselves feel their bites when they turn on us.
Remember Ray is on the front line ...standing on the Word . He is bearing the brunt of direct hits. Many of us sit in the quiet of Internet space and observe. Their teeth penetrate that deep and upset us too.
I know that I do not have the temperament to handle it like Ray does.
The only blessing is that we know that God is Sovereign and
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Remember when we (spiritually are told ) to eat the scrolls we were told that they will be sweet in our mouth but bitter in the stomach.. The spiritual revelations are wonderful but we are saddened daily at the world's present blindness and deafness, and oh how all our spirits groan while we wait for the full revelation.
Rather than grumble and fret let us continue to pray in agreement with God's Will
Beloved
