first of all be carefull. The people who you are talking to are false teachers. They don't know the truth. @ mos ago I was like you searching and searching hard for ansewers. Over the last 20 or so yrs. I read and still have hundreds of books, plain truth magazines, and booklets, about ever subject the bible teaches. I thought I knew everthing. Well not everything but alot. Anyways 2mos ago I was guided by divine intervention. That's what it had to be. I was looking at another web page and found Ray's. Anyway I just wanted to say be carefull, because those witnesses are false teachers. Also you can get overloaded on research ,where you get to the point where your not growing in the real truth. Just be carefull. Keep moving ahead. Everthing Ray teaches he backs it up with scripture and with a scripture to back that scripture up. That's the truth. Good luck in your journey with God. Don't rely on religious groups. They are ALL man made doctrain, and can not be trusted.
Thanks Darren

Wow Darren, that was such a great post!
Gungho, Darren has nailed it for me regarding research overload. We have to follow and absorb God's Truths as they are revealed to us. When we feel like we just don't "get it" as we study, I think it just means God hasn't opened our eyes to that particular passage or truth to absorb it right yet on our own personal level--we can't force it, because then the concept of understanding could become a type of idol of our own carnal hearts, rather than accepting and appreciating the blessing--that understanding his Word is a wonderful gift. For example, we can follow man's link after link after link on the internet to try to interpret what we don't understand yet in scripture, but we will go backwards if we, as new believers, concentrate on refuting man's doctrines, rather than growing in our journey towards His kingdom.
Our walk in faith and grace is a gift we're blessed to receive at His discretion and mercy. I really feel that teachers like Ray are equipped with better weaponry to go into battle against the false teachers and hypocrites and deceivers than folks like us at this stage in our journey. (Personally, I find that it's hard enough to interact with my own family since I've been "exposed" to the truth. ;))
Hope I've not offended anyone with my thoughts here--I just know that God does KNOW EVERYTHING--there's no question in my mind, heart, being, etc. I pray it is His Will that I never lose sight or question it ever again. Thanks for listening-I'm not usually so vocal :-X!
Love in Christ,
Vangie

Vangie, yes, I agree when we search so hard we can become selfindulgence of our own carnal heart. Trying to force an understanding of something God has not yet deemed us to understand. In such a case instead of waiting for God to show us we get impatient and try to understand with our carnal mind. This is not going to work we would be wrong in our understanding. I know this from doing exactly that. Any ways, this is just my thoughts and I speak on anybody's behalf except my own. Also as you rightly said when God is ready to reveal a certain thing to us we will receive it and no matter how hard we try we will not be able to understand it until God makes it known. (Man that's alot of understanding) ;D :D ???.
Thanks Darren

Hi! Darren
You're getting there my brother, slowly but surely you're getting there. Our own reasoning is usually an idol of the heart. Or a chicken trusting it's life in the hand of the cat.
Here are my favourite verses;
1......" There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. " (Pro.14:12 & 16:25).
2......." Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding." (Pro.3:5).
God bless you my brother and help us in our walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.
