Out of Egypt
Richard D:
Marques.
I see now you stand in judgment of me and you say now I’m also a phony whom you can see through.
These are your words to me Marques and I’ll put them below.
Richard, these phony acts of sincerity are as see-through as a window pane. Others may flock to you as you tickle their ears with smooth talk, but not I. Good day sir.Marques, I forgive you for this statement but be careful you don’t turn into another Jim Jones with your much learning my friend because all I’m seeing from you is self righteousness not the righteousness that comes from the righteousness of God.
Marques, I think you have a chip on your shoulder my friend and are just in a bad mood today.
I agree to disagree with your thread (OUT OF EGYPT) which makes me wonder if your not still there.
God bless you Marques and have a wonderful day my friend and brother in the Lord.
Richard.

I believe all that Ray teaches only because God words teaches the truth. Joe, and Rodger and Indiana Bob, answered my qestion. I have love for the lost. They saw I had anxiety for them. Now, last time I read the Bible God loves the lost. I often go in and read Rays papers over and over. Now, while in Babylon I did not believe in tithe, I gave with my heart as new testament taught. I never had 10 percent to give any way. I never believed in the trinity. I got to questioning all there doctrines. Also, Love is the answer to every thing. Now, God is going to judge each individualy, but I do not think we know every ones heart. I do not want to go back to Babylon's teachings. But, I do have a heart that Loves all humanity. Could it be that God has put this in me. For, I believe it is one of the many traits of God. He acttualy sums ups his commandments as Love. God is love. Does he judge us because we are not where someone else might be. I am for showing truths.
Now, I believe in order to be chosen we have to have all those traits. I can't see God wanting any less. We are all running a race. Some are still at different pace and this is of Gods choosing. So, argue that with God. You are a young mand. Now, I am not saying you are but knowledge done is good, but also I said, that I did not express myself well. I gave you the reason. The Lord protected me Marques with a 109 temp and no paralysis from a stroke I had while suffering a deadly blood infection. Now, I hope we can all look at this as my mistake and forgiven and forget and love. Marques, I am humble it was all my fault. I don't like to cause division, never did it in Babylon and do not like to here. So, I will just read post and learn from them. I will not post until I understand or can express myself better.
In His Love,
Marlene

Dear Marlene,
Do not let the timing of this post consume you into thinking this is all about you. These postings are for everyone who has an ear to hear.
Now, for some tough love...this statement of yours: "Now, while in Babylon I did not believe in tithe, I gave with my heart as new testament taught. I never had 10 percent to give any way. I never believed in the trinity. I got to questioning all there doctrines."
There is no good in Babylon and when you hold onto the thought that you did so much good while in Babylon, that is an IDOL OF THE HEART. I am only stating this to help you recognize it and REPENT. This is not to 'bully you' or put you down. This is what the scriptures refer to when stating, 'Sound the trumpet...show my people their transgressions'...Isa 58:1. For if no one shows you (as you state Joe and others did previously) how you you know and repent? God states he uses the 'foolishness of preaching' to save people. This is that foolishness...so let us turn away from these idols, stop looking back to Egypt, and walk in Christ footsteps. That is what this thread is all about.
Hope this helps,
Marques
Marlene:
Marques, I am sorry. But, God did bring me out. Yes, I will repent I did not see them as idols of the heart. I sure there are plenty of idols of the heart. If, I might say one Idol I gave up was about Rev. All those teachings I had bought books about. One, day after reading Rays teachings on Rev. I got up and through all those stupid books away. I do want to grow and I know that God put this in me. I am not well Marques so I am not always best at my thinking.
I am sorry that I thouoght you were saying it just to me. Will you forgive me. I hope to learn more from you.
In His Love,
Marlene

Many who "stumble" onto Bible Truths come to the Forum with unreal expectations (I know I did) that this would be one happy family merrily learning and sharing together with no strife, no divisons, no controversies. ?

Amen to that Joe.
In God's Love. Richard.
Snowfire:
What I hear Marques conveying to you is not that you didn’t perceive that God was leading you while you were in bablylon, you did indeed observe these things in your life (God working in you) But it was not your perception that established it or confirms it. It is by grace of God, the divine cause, (divine influence of God upon the heart, not your perceptibility (being able to see) nor by our perception of all the things that we have suffered and will suffer in this life. It is all of God.
For example the statement "Now, while in Babylon I did not believe in tithe“, If you did not believe in tithe while in babylon, it was not your perception of the belief in not tithing, it was by “the divine Grace of God” in you, not by you, that cause you to look at tithing in a way that the world does not.
“I gave with my heart as new testament taught“. It never was in you to give with your heart. It was the “the divine Grace of God” in you that cause you to give as the new testament taught while in Babylon. What ever good thing you find in yourself doing, it was never there by our ability to perceive it in us. It is there by God’s doing alone. To God be the Glory.
If everything that we are is by the “the divine Grace of God” in us, how is it we find ourselves wronged by others by the way that we perceive things (our way of thinking). If everything that we are has been given to us and not of our selves, by whose standards have we been wronged. Ours? It never was by us or in us to begin with. It never was by our standards which can be subject to rejection and hurt. Every Godly standard that we experience in our life was all of God, in God and thru God from the beginning.
All that Marques has posted is of God’s standards, not his.
Rick
