I have been reading BT material for years and God has certainly blessed me with more freedom. I so try to hold on to the basic truths set forth by Ray and not let the comfort of the Christendom world draw me back to doctrines of men. I do not beleive I could ever go back to that state because the teachings on BT has become the baseline, it would be hard to sit in a service as a dumb sheep and accept words that create more questions than answers.
However the longing to share/fellowship with other locally like-minded beleivers does not exist (excluding my wife, for which I praise the Lord for that gift).

I have shared some of this with my children and their spouses. Without going into much detail my oldest daughter and husband feel we are in a cult?? when sharing with them all conversations are met with opposition and an effort to set us straight?

This has caused me much grief and I pray for their eyes and ears to be open and the grace for me to trust God for whatever His will.

I would like to ask for wisdom from the forum and any words of encouragement. Please pray that His peace will abide with me and my wife through this difficult time.

Hi lq,

I also have experienced the wide eyed, what are you crazy, look from some loved ones and close friends whom I've shared this with to no avail.  My Husband is not really decided on if he believes, let alone what he believes.  I'm feeling alone, save the communication here from people who are starting to feel like family to me.

We don't always entirely agree, which I've never experienced with people I've met in the flesh, so it makes it real to me!  If you've been studying Ray's work for years you have a big jump on me, and would have wisdom to share.  So I can't offer any advice beyond the blessing of the people here. 

Where are you from?  Maybe there are some here that are close to you?

Your Sister in Christ,
Brenda

Goldsboro NC. Thanks for the comments, It's just that when you get hold of these truths you want to shout from the roof tops. to share with others and see God open their eyes and ears and see the chains being lifted and they begin to be set free indeed by the Son.

It's amazing....
This is GOOD NEWS we are sharing!!!

[Even if Ray couldn't back everything up scripturally...]

Why don't they even show a desire for it to be true?... ???

Hi LQ.

Many of us have gone thru/and or going thru the same w/ friends and family.

You probably have read Ray's excellent article on witnessing. It freed me from a lot of guilt and things.

My family and I have agreed to not discuss this so that we can all get along :D So I am waiting for them to ask, but like Brenda says.......

Today, talking to my friend and she is blabbing about free will, yada yada, and I said Where is that scripture?  Well, she knew it was in there somewhere.  So I mentioned Rom 7-9 as a good study for her. (the potter etc) She said she would so we will see if she brings it up again.

Basically, besides not going to church and not tithing, there is nothing that anyone can see in me that is different in the flesh.  I still behave as a "Christian"-trying to walk in love, be a good neighbor, help when I can etc etc.  They don't need to know about the battle going on inside to keep the beast from claiming the throne!

God's will is being done in all our lives. :)
