Hello Everyone,
I appreciated your insight, Sirach, I sorta have a similiar perspective in that at least some of us might have spent many years studying the Bible, examining a variety of " Christian " Sites, including Universal ones and I know some Forum members who are former members of The Worldwide Church of God, Jehovah's Witnesses and other Denominations that " Use " the Bible alot and after all those many years exposed to a heavy diet of Scriptural study, we still had an inaccurate understanding of most Bible related subjects, at least for me, it was a humbling experience to embrace Ray's material. The Scripture that came to my mind while reading the Posts on this thread was at 2Timothy. 3:7 " Always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth." That's precisely the case with most, if not many of us, we might have known some of these Truths, prior to our discovering Ray's Site, but we didn't have a thorough accurate Knowledge of Truth. As an example, prior to my discovering Bible-Truths, I knew about Aion meaning Age-lasting, Kolasin meaning Chastisement, Hades and Sheol meaning the unseen and imperceptible, Oleuthron & Apollemi being Lost or losing or desolation instead of Destruction or Perish, I never believed in eternal Torment or the Soul being inherently immortal, never believed in the Trinity, etc, etc; However I never heard about the concept of NOT HAVING FREE WILL, didn't know Jesus was Jehovah, I used to think that Jehovah was The Father, didn't understand about The Beast being ourselves and many other things at this Site and I still have much to learn. From Ray's Site, I've learned the better part, so to speak.
Also Dewey makes a good point about the order in which Ray places his Articles, that may be the way that's best for studying and learning the information. Dennis Vogel mentions that it doesn't matter which order you present things, because if someone is Blind, they won't see it until God opens their eyes.
Just my thoughts on this Thread, no finger pointing from me, Just thoughts and observations.
Your Brother, Samson.
