hillsbororiver:
The primary purpose of the Forum is to discuss the articles on Bible Truths, there is such a wealth of scripturally verified Truths contained within these articles that we should be able to have edifying discussions by using the articles as an outline.
We have been down this road so many times and it usually does not end well, the old line of "no man has all the truth" has been repeated here countless times, we know that, Ray knows that, but why do we want to appear to promote those whom we know are in error about a multitude of things and who use so little scripture in formulating there opinions/doctrines?
If someone wants to post a specific idea with scriptural witnesses that is one thing but to start the wholesale advocation of any and all of the "Christian" authors out there defeats the whole purpose of this Forum.
Peace,
Joe

Amen Joe!
When I see the statement of "no man has all the truth" I cringe. Yes Ray is the first to admit this, but if what Ray is writing is not the truth then please email him with scriptural witness, so he can make the necessary changes. Ray will honestly evaluate his critics thoughts if they have a scriptural leg to stand on, it is the ones that only spout doctrine and feelings/opinions that won't get very far.
And to the thought that every author has a little truth, I'll go back to my brownie example. I'll make you a batch of the worlds best brownies, and mix in just a dab of dog crap, now will you eat them?

PS This post is not directed to any individual on the forum, lately I think things have gone quite well and alot of good discussion has come forth. I posted, because like Joe said, this is a well traveled road that I would like to see closed. Thank you all.

I just want to add to the conversation that I am not interested in promoting any mans doctrine,or trying to introduce any particular christian author. I had a simple question based on having recently read some stuff from mr.Viola.This is no way refutes,or contradicts teachings of Ray that many here hold sacred.I would also add that no one here has ever given me any indication that they are displeased with my participation in this forum,yet for the sake of clarity I will ask this question. Is there room for me here to do as I have been doing,in regards to my post? Is there room for a person like me who while I don't disagree with what I have read from Rays teaching,because I have not read them all,but may have some questions about them or not have come to a place of fully accepting them? I have emailed Ray twice in the past two months and have not received a response as of yet.I realize that Ray does not promise to respond to every email which is one of the reasons I came to this forum to post my questions here in hopes of immediate feedback. If this is an improper use of the forum,I would me more than happy to stop.If you find that the nature of my post,are not welcome,or in some way going contrary to the flow of this forum,which I am not claiming that any of you have said,I will be more than happy to refrain from using this forum in this way. I am about peace,and order.I consider you all here to be a part of my spiritual family,whether the feeling or belief is mutual or not.So in love I will do whatever you need me too. Thanks

Hi Sonofone,
Of course! You are absolutely welcome here. Why would you think otherwise? Different people have different opinions, as you know already. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone. You have to be sure in your own mind what you believe, and it's no good pretending.

No, there is no room. Your question is too broad. If you have a specific/narrow question about what's taught on BT, then you will not be interfered with. If I 'd caught your post before too many others had responded, I would have deleted it and PMed you with an explanation.
So, please ask your questions. That's one of the reasons the forum exists. Just keep your questions focused please.
Dennis
