Is There Really A Hell?

Hi Fstamp

As has been suggested you need to read and study Ray's teachings on this subject and many other subjects.
You'll find that Ray teaches nothing that hasn't been in Gods word all along, its just that God has chosen to reveal his truths to Ray (not just Ray alone I hasten to add and Ray has never made any such claim), and through Ray God is revealing to people around the world.
Just about everything that Ray teaches is opposed to just about everything taught in denominational Churches, and this is because Church teaching opposes just about everything in the Scriptures.
I can identify with your frustration that your wife doesn't see what you are starting to see. I have the same situation. However, as frustrating as it seems, God is doing it for a reason, it is His predestinated plan, don't fight it.
Study and pray for understanding and God will reveal to you.
The plain and short answer to your thread question is No there is no Hell.
God bless you
David

Hello Fstamp,

Just agreeing with what the other members have suggested.

I hope you will avail yourself of our counsel and personal experiences.  We surely don't have all the answers but we are willing to struggle along with you as we learn together.

One bit of advice from a married man to a married man.
God may not call a woman in the same manner or at the same time that he calls the husband.
I would suggest that you move very slowly to educate yourself before putting your wife in the situation of having to decide who she agrees with.  You may change your beliefs a little as you learn.  All other people work at different paces than we each do and spouses are no different.  I think you will find that called out women on the forum have had similar experiences with their spouses. 
Slow and easy does it every time.

It may take a year or two for your wife to decide if you are being misled by this new understanding.  At your age I'm sure that you know your wife quite well, but consider please that even close friends often become impatient to share what seems so wonderful to them personally.

One thing we have learned is to lead by example and allow the other person to follow at their own pace.
A spouse is benefited by the gradual changes and improvements that they see in their partner.  So just remember as your wife sees you spending more time in study, that you take time to attend to her needs and concerns apart from your study.  For example, every time my wife walks into the room where I am reading or responding to forum email, I put down my glasses and turn to her and give her my full attention, not returning to my study until she has finished her conversation and left the room.  Some times I even follow her and make myself useful.

Spouses, especially women, appreciate personal attention and the knowledge that they are valued.
That is my advice.

Please write often and share your experiences.

Regards, Indiana bob

Paul, thanks for putting on the cite bite from Ray.  Awesome as usual!!!

what is a cite bite by the way.

CiteBite is a thing that lets you link to specific text in a web page. Example: http://pages.citebite.com/a6n6c3u3agqb

As you can see, it highlights the words in the webpage you choose to have highlighted, and jumps down to the highlighted text.

Hi fstamp

I am new to the forum as well and this is my first reply to a posting.  I have also attended a "fundamental Baptist church" for 7 years,  the pastor has similar views as yours and my wife and I have a very close relationship with him and his wife and many other church members

For several years I agonised, like you, about moving to another church, but so few (none??) churches preach the truth, then a final realisation came to me in a verse Rev 2:4 and the Lord's demand "not to leave your first love".  It was the Pastor who lead me to the Lord and guided my early learning.  Just as we are to be in the world but not of the world, be in the church but not of the church- grow through Ray's teachings -just be careful who you discuss them with.

Enjoy and God Bless
Russell
