WhoAmI:
Hi all,

   I am new to the board, this posting board that is. I have been a long time reader of Ray's material he has written. Came across it in 2002. I like many others was an avid seeker and worker in the churches. I was becoming more and more frustrated not understanding how the scriptures and the churches conflicted. I kept thinking "I am losing my religion!" Not understanding yet that I really was and what a blessing it was to be. All at once I was hammered by God with many trials. It was a very dark time and I didn't want any more dark times, but a three year old boy help hold me together. I lost many things, I was forced to look at the beast and I knew I was no match. During this I told God he could take the whole seat, be my guest I thought. I happen to go to the library one day when I didn't have a computer yet and I went on line. In a scoff type attitude, I typed in the word "truth" and figured I'd have a good chuckle at the list. I have read and studied and prayed and whatever all my life and according to me my life has been nothing but failure after failure and struggle. Well Ray's site pops up and I actually see someone challenging the same things I am struggling with. But he is doing it with scriptures and thinking and a fearless approach. He never once offended me and I started reading every time I went back to the library. Then I started taking my change and printing off the papers. Everything was clicking like clockwork, I felt like an idiot for not seeing it myself. But I was overjoyed at the same time because I now felt free to view God as really loving. The chains of the beat down religion started coming off. I kept thinking how could I have spent so much time reading the scriptures and I missed this! There is not room to type all that I have experienced since all these events. Many times when I have felt lead I have prayed for Ray, One of the awesome things that happen was that I had a neighbor who shortly after I found this site was speaking to me about the same frustrations I had been dealing with in relation to the churches. So I told him what I had found, and this guy started reading Ray's site like crazy as well. I had DVDs of Ray teachings and shared them with this neighbor. He started having the same response as me. I can't tell you how much this man has been freed from since the first day I meet him. I am very thankful for the giant steps I have been given because of God's mercy and his work through Ray. I wanted to take the time and thank everyone involved. I know a lot of people have made this possible. And I feel blessed to be a part of it as well now.

Peace,

Jeff

Dave in Tenn:
Welcome, Jeff.  Praise God for the work He's done in you and for your testimony.  It's wonderful that God has already used you to be a blessing for your neighbor. 

I had to smile at the way you found Bible-Truths.com.  My story is similar.

I'm curious about this 3-year-old.

Anyway...welcome aboard.  Hope to hear more from you.

Hello there! Hello Jeff!

Welcome aboard! What a strange world! Talk about contrasts! All I get from my neighbours is "You don't believe that rubbish, do you?"  You're a real lucky guy, you can start your own little home fellowship right from the word "GO". So go to it brother and God bless you as He is apparently doing right now.

God bless you brother in our joint walk in Christ. 

Love in Christ Jesus.

Jeff,
Welcome to the truth. Many came to it through the same way you did. Continue to read and GOD will give you opportunities to spread the truth of Ray's teachings and the gift of this forum

Welcome, Jeff.
I too am curious about how this 3 year old boy helped you. I can kinda visualize it, I know my 4 year old nephew has helped me with adults "crazy talk" before.

I loaned my B-T's "How Hard Is Getting Saved" DVD to a friend that, on occasion, calls me to help with his welding business. His church had just completed the "way of the master" program. It's now about 45 days later.  ;D
I was apprehensive about loaning it to him at first and said so, then he asked me what was I afraid of(?).
This is the 2nd time I've given him something from Ray's teachings. The last was a teaching from the LOF series. He could not get a handle on it, so he gave it to his Sunday school teacher to "rip" (his very words) apart. I was helping him about 6 months later and asked him if his teacher ripped apart the article. Nope, but told me if the word hell is in the Bible, then they believe in it.
I pray I get my DVD back, hopefully in one piece. :)
