DuluthGA:
Happy for you Justine,
to learn along with Joe as guide for questions you put forth.... he is good guy. Plus from hanging around at Da Forum... he is good teacher to complement Ray.
As you recalled... ta-da... :) [here is the scripture you sited in parapharsed form]:
James 3: 1-2 Don't be in any rush to become a teacher, my friends. Teaching is highly responsible work. Teachers are held to the strictest standards. And none of us is perfectly qualified. We get it wrong nearly every time we open our mouths. If you could find someone whose speech was perfectly true, you'd have a perfect person, in perfect control of life. [MSG]
So Justine... it's good you make pivotal points from which we all learn, and so good you have been given to seek to learn from good teachers.
I'm very happy you are a forum friend! I appreciate you!
Janice

:-X Janice, thank you ( i hope thats the little blushy face.)
I am increasingly afraid of getting kicked out of here. But i figure bettter let these people know who i am.....this is one place i dont have to be a hypocrite...........yet i am anyway, i think a good game but my practice is not all the time up to par. I preach to myself ...lol.........lately my lesson has been "let go of the intllectaull clinging, knowledge is not salvation..........washing dishes in the Lord is."
bewteen these discussions and the one about the taser kid, i am seeing a bleak world horizion. and i am even more stressed to get with the personal relyance on the inner working of the Lord.
What if........What if , some day , all freedom is taken from us. how will we live your faith then? it must be something we have grown up and nurtured and grafted into our very breathing, the living in the Spirit.
but agian that is a side bar.
I see we got way off the Life lessons, and skimmed over gnosticism, and landed on the Trinity....er.the duality.....er......the GOD. Great we have defined him.
Now....in the event of Tribulation ( a wise man once said prepare for the worse and hope for the best) can we, do we, have sustaining faith? Do we have living faith, can each of us, live with and within the LORD in a concentration camp?
Tough thing to think about. Perhaps a little radical.
But better faith than sorry.
this comment is not ment to lad us into another sid ebar , teaching that the tribulation is already in our lives. Thats a fine teaching, and i hope there will be no terrible times.... But our country seems to be going another way.
Nations change, even christians in theses nations suffer real tribulation.
I am all for trusting god, and hopeing we got the interpretations correct. but it does not liberate us form the "tribulation" of a Nation Falling.
my only point is grow up, get to know the voice of the Lord without question, FIND your Wisdom, in all your getting GET understanding. (proverbs) When their are no more books, where will your faith be?
Sorry about the negitive note, ( not really) this thread in my idea is to share with each other the lessons we know, to confirm with one another wether we are in the faith, and learning form the same Holy SPirit. In the after life........( that is in a time of tyrrany) By this shal lwe be known of each other........that we Love the Lord.

Insane, I'm no moderator,so I can't say this with certainty. I don't believe it's so much about what you say here,but your overall spirit or purpose in posting that might warrant you getting kicked out. I don't think you have to be a Ray parrot in order to stay here. I do believe that you have to hold yourself subject to the rules of the forum.After all this forum was setup for those who aspire to grow and learn due in large part to the teachings of Ray. I don't consider myself to be a Ray clone, not suggesting that anyone else is. I do however respect his teachings and more importantly his efforts to both dig and make available his results of that digging for any one to either learn or challenge or disprove. So I think you are fine Insane,wether you are right or wrong in telling what you believe you cause us to dig and I've seen you submitt your reasoning to what is true even in this very same post. So please continue to do what you do I look forward to hearing you.

Hi Justine,
Yes this life is full of 'what ifs,' But are those needless worries? Those what ifs may never come to pass and the worry we had about them is useless.
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
v. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
It may be so that there will be dire things to come on this world before the return of Christ. But it is all the purpose and plan of God, what better place to be than in His loving care.
Mat 6:25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
v. 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
v. 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
v. 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;
v. 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
v. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
v. 31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?'
v. 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
v. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
v. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
mercy, peace and love
Kat
