Letter: Hell hath no fury like a Christian just shown the Truth : And Gen 3:15?
Kent:
--- Quote ---15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Is this the enmity spoken of in Genesis? I don't recall reading any of the scripture teachings on the site that related to this possibility (or foolishness, I don't know which yet), and I was wondering on the origin of this hatred that most people have toward scriptures, and hatred toward those that cherish scriptures and abhor traditions.
I still have a hard time understanding this hatred. ???

Hello Kent:
Here is what I believe is a "spiritual match" to this enmity:
Rom. 8:6-7 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be
Enmity or "deep-seated hatred" towards anything of God including His Word and/or the Holy Scriptures. I just drew a blank while writing this and had something else I wanted to say. Hopefully someone else will fill in. Hope this helps nonetheless.

Kent, I don't know if reactions such as this Rita's are the enmity mentioned in scripture or not, but I do know the title of the email is indeed a most amazing truth....sad truth I should say.
I remember reading Ray's work for the first time and REJOICING at what he said and accepting it wholeheartedly. Not because Ray just said it, but because he let scripture say it. Then as I read his words and followed the scriptures it became clear to me he was on to something. I've been simply amazed to learn what SCRIPTURE really says with Ray's help. Fifty years in the Christian church and yet no one really taught me (or anyone else for that matter) what the scriptures say!! My reaction was HAPPINESS at the "good news" and even a bit of ANGER to tell the truth; but not at Ray or the Word of God, but at all those deceivers who call themselves pastors and teachers who accept blindly these horrible traditions and then deceive so many.
It does simply amaze me that Christians who are told they must love their enemies, care for the sick, feed the hungry and love even the unlovable...are Mad as Hell to have someone even suggest that there may actually be no Hell and that God's mercy will extend to ALL. It's like Christians feel they're part of some private club and all those other dirtbag sinners out there aren't allowed in without THEIR permission. "How dare God save everybody...I was counting on people I hate going to Hell!", they seem to be saying. I just can't believe how people like this Rita, and the many others who write to Ray, are angry at Ray for attempting to show how the scriptures point to the wonderful news that ALL will be saved by God's infinite grace. Why would that make anybody MAD?? Beats me.

It does, thank you. I believe you are right.
Dave in PA:
Ditto everything you said. Everything.

Dear Dave in PA
You make sense brother, real good sense. I go along with your sentiments wholeheartedly. The gross ingratitude shows up in some of the obnoxious mail that Ray keeps receiving, mostly from women who appear to be the ones most offended but incapable of supporting their slanderous remarks with what they are supposed to be defending - the Scriptures. Some to put it bluntly are truly ignorant.
I admire Ray's inspired teaching and his resilience to such vicious attacks, if only they knew that what they were rejecting was for their own good. Talk about good being returned with bad. In the synagogues they would be flogged, time that was brought back. I speak like a fool of course as usual.
God bless.
Love in Christ Jesus.
Roy.
