More stripes will be to those who have the learned Truths and turned from it (I dont have time to find the scripture but its there). I want to tell them about striving to be in the first Resurrection ,but i know that will bring even more questions. Its like giving meat to babes before they are ready. I feel like if i don't start them off with baby steps then I might be starting them off with the wrong seed, sort a speak. its like you tell them hey you know God created evil for the purpose to show what is good. you know how people will react to that without knowing the purpose/plan of God. so then you maybe you start with the plan of God. then that makes you think that maybe you should have started at another place where you should have told/showed them first about this or that then they would understand maybe, God willing.
the more i think about it, starting with what Ray wrote about Foundational Truths is seeming like the best way.... what do you guys think?

I believe what it all boils down to is, If you are truely in Christ, then why would you want to sin any more? ::)
OBrenda:
Luke 12:47
And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, But the servant who did things that deserved a beating without knowing it will receive a light beating. Much will be required from everyone to whom much has been given. But even more will be demanded from the one to whom much has been entrusted."
Just something I found in my experience with sharing these truths was,...I would get into a discussion about something, then a few days later I would hear or read one of Ray's teachings and found out I was wrong in an area. :-[ Some of these truths we have learned here are deeper and more complicated than we currently have an understanding for.
The longer I walk in these truths in my Life, the more God confirms that they are true, and not just some new teaching by a dynamic Teacher! Remember in school we learned math, it was only after using math for several years did we understand how it effects so much in our lives! (Like being overdrawn in your checking account)
I love that Ray said in one of his audios, "He is still amazed at how much he doesn't know about the Bible" If Ray believes this about himself, I have a long way to go!

The mouth of flesh is capable of every sort of blasphemy and rebellion. Don't be too hasty to write such people off.
Saul was on his way to persecute and murder believers. I was just stumbling around the internet looking to kill a few minutes laughing at the freak show. God is not only capable of changing men's hearts, He's the ONLY one capable of doing it, now and later.

So do I have it wrong? The ones that are more wicked (sinful)than other will pay a heaver price?
people like Hitler or Saddam or Stalin and Po Pot. These people murdered millions of people will their stripes be more than mine?
