I am a clean slate
Phil3:10:
Phil B,
Your testimony was wonderful. Forgiveness does work in two ways. GOD does drag those he chooses to HIS truths in HIS time frame. I do hope those 12 Step Programs were of some use to you in your journey. Stay in HIS word, Ray's teaching and this forum and many questions will be answered. We serve a wonderful and glorious GOD.

Darren you stated this
--- Quote ---All my learning and studying came from teaaching myself. Ordering booklets and magazines reading the Bible off an on.Then I came across Armstrong; teachings and started doing alot of reading Then I came across Ray's web site and I knew the moment I started reading his papers on LOF and Hagee and Kennedy that I had it all wrong . But those yrs of being on my own gave me basic concepts of the Bible. Then I took Ray's teachings from there. The reason I posted this is to say I love the way Ray teaches and I don't believe He refutes more than teach I think it the other way. What or where was my Babylon

Are we twins or something :). Same thing here, brother except I didnt come out of the catholic church. From very early age, i just dont know what it was but i knew anything that had an association with catholic it had to be wrong. I also was never fully with any church. Once i started reading Armstrong it was the first time i had in my heart devoted myself mentally to a church. But as you stated above we are almost identical.
IMO i think Babylon isnt just the churches. Look at all the lies that are out there everywhere. I believe God instilled in every human a sense that He exists. Since He is supposed to be our first love, i believe people can leave him in anything that put first in their life---job,family,church, church activities, gambling, drugs, politics, YOURSELF---you get the idea.
So Eileen i dont think you started from a clean slate, i think nobody does. We've all been fooled someway or another by the devil. Like Ray stated in his papers about the Myth of Freewill---who hasnt been fooled by that!! Destiny control and the likes. Just think about it, you've been in some form of Babylon.
In Jesus,
Anthony
