:D Welcome Martin! It's good to see you here!
I want to say a big thank you for being so gracious in allowing me to explore topics of interest over in your neck of the woods. I trust you'll find many warm and sincere folks over here where I first heard the "truly GOOD News" about the Saviour of ALL MEN, especially those that believe!
Again...WELCOME!

welcome martin,
it is great to see another texan on the forum (i'm in austin). i have to agree that dave in tenn's reply was great, actually awesome! and i have to admit to kat that once again she has been able to share volumes with only one scripture or one statement. i mean, all the times i have read the scripture she referenced in 1 pet. 3:15, that i only just this time saw (by God's awesome Spirit) that the words say "...and be ready always to give an answer to every man that ASKETH you a reason of the hope that is in you...". as ray smith has said time and time again, "you've got to pay attention to the words"! that simple little word "asketh" says it all. we aren't called to evangelize the world or even try to tell others in our own earthly families about all that we have been shown by God thru ray's teachings. but, if someone asks us why we have the hope that is in us, then we can tell them why with "meekness and fear". and in looking up the meaning of that word "fear", my strong's exhaustive concordance says it comes from the greek word "phobos" #5401 (2a5) meaning "reverential fear" of God through the indwelling Spirit of God, a reverential "fear" of God will inspire a constant carefulness in dealing with others in His "fear". i mean, this stuff just blows me away. the more i learn, the more i have to learn. God is so awesome! so welcome aboard mi amigo.

Hi and welcome Martin. It is so funny you should mention the Texas fundamentalism. It wasn't that long ago when we were deeply in Babylon that I was amazed at what all God must be doing in Texas because it seemed that every other preacher I listened to was from there! Of course, now I see it differently and wonder why God has chosen Texas to be so blind! ;)
Just this weekend I felt led of the Lord to speak about BT truths to a dear internet friend of mine who also lives in Texas. She had so many issues with church doctrine and now she is dying to learn all she can so I will be sending her here very soon. She has been given "ears to hear."
Pretty exciting!
Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Many blessings,
Lin
