Mr. Ray and why?

(1/4) > >>

jennie:
I have been reading a good many of the topics. Is Mr. Ray sick and if so will he be okay? My other question comes from reading many of the e-mails on Mr. Ray's site. Why does it seem that so many show hatred to him ? Thanks, Jennie

Hi Jennie,
They despise the truth.

I suspect as you continue to live with these marvelous truths revealed to you, you will find out for yourself just how much people despise the truth of God. Its very saddening at times but its necessary.
Pro 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Pro 3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Pro 23:9  Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Mat 6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Some scriptures to keep in mind.
There are many wise on this site to help you understand.
We all have had similar experiences with family, friends and even strangers.
There are a number of stories in the forum!

I would suspect the reasons they act the way they do is many. I feel some are not able to separate the subject from personal or emotional connections. I have shared the information he has written with a good amount of people. Some are put off by his style. Some just refuse to listen to anything else from what Mom and Dad taught them. Some are afraid to change. Some do not want to truly search these matters out. Some really think to say anything from what has long been held will make them sin against God and they are doomed to eternity. So many reasons and different reactions. I am also sure a lot of it is just people trying to pull his chain. But these sort of topics surely bring out those sort of reactions in people. I had one guy tell me that Ray turns everything into so much "mush" that he doesn't even recognize it when he is done with it. I laughed and told him I do the same thing, so I must enjoy the "mush" because it really connects with me.  ;)

Anyhow to me it is just a distraction. If you can stay focused on the subject and trim off the emotional responses you keep a sharper focus. I don't know Ray personally but I'm sure he doesn't lose a lot of sleep over the hate. He seems to me to use it as a teaching tool to drive a point home even farther.

Maybe it is sort of a fear thing... fear of something other than the traditions or even fear of thinking on one's on. I don't know.

Hi, Yes, they are just plain blind. I was them once. I am just blessed in all ways to know the truth. Take away free will  and Hell now I know who is in control. I think most people don't want to see cause they love that free will. They make God be what they want him to be. I we can do is pray for them. But, its all in God's time.
Now, for what drove me from my church where we had been for years before the last pastor came. He told the amount a young couple gave and they left. Then lots of people left because of things they did to hurt them.

I had a serious illness and could have died. He never came to see me even though I had not come months before cause I was ill.

The second week I went back after my illness. He preached a sermon on tithe. He first said, I don't know what anyone gives and I don't want to because  it might make me a respector of persons. Then he continued to preach and gave the exact amount of money my husband and I tithed. We never had alot of money so we gave with our hearts. Then he continued to say that God might kill you if you do not give the right tithe.
That was our last day there. God saved my life and also the hospital took our bills and paid half of all we owed. Also, my husband family knew all this and they chose to stay even know He lied and that he also put himself in Gods seat. These are trials for sure folk. At first it hurt. More from his family not leaving. Now, I just say Father Forgive Them. That includes his family and the pastor.
But, Praise God I love these trials cause this is when God led me to truth.
So, yes what they do to Ray is all his trials for believing the truth and having the love of Christ in his heart. Because we believe truth we suffer like Christ. It is all Joy to me now.
In His Love,
Marlene
