A friend and I are always discussing Mr. Rays teachings. I tell her what I learned and she comments on it. For example, I was telling her that we aren't saved until the very end , when after were judged and sentence and are purified with the fire of God, and turn from physical to spirit. Then we are made into the likeness of God Himself. Now we are saved. No she says. She said All you have to do is call on and believe that Christ died for our sins and we are saved. Then she said millions believe this. Then I said just because the many believe in something doesn't mean it's true.I gave the example of the 12 disciples. They were only a few who knew the truth in the beginning. The majority didn't believe. I told her all of the greatest people on earth were of the minority not the majority. So when anyone tells you that, that is what most people believe, don't believe it.
God bless you and yours

Dear Daren
I had a pentecostal friend visiting the other day and he mentioned that his pastor had given an excellent sermon on "hell". So I asked him if he believed in hell? To which he replied, of course, don't you? And I told him that I believed it was a load of garbage. To which he asked what I meant by that.
So I asked him if he believed that God knows everything from the beginning of creation to the end? He said of course He does. If you believe that, I said, then you're telling me that this murderous god of yours, not mine, knows
in advance that he is going to send the trillions upon trillions of human beings he has created and is still creating to hell to burn forever in eternal torment?
What kind of god is that? Can you truly worship someone so utterly vile? I couldn't, I'd have to throw up.
He said, "You've got me confused now, please stop."
If you don't want to hear anymore of course I will, I replied, but do yourself and me a favour and read this. I handed him a copy of Ray's critique of Hagee's sermon "The seven wonders of hell" apologized for upsetting him and left it at that. It was now the Holy Spirit's jurisdiction, my job was done, the seed was sown.
God bless
