In the midst of starting the Lake of Fire Study, I found this one to be easier to read by myself. Excellent points made, makes "perfect" sense. Just wish this information was brought to my attention sooner as I could have kept some of my friends rather than to lose them as I was "trying to win their souls for Jesus". This study has confirmed my suspicions of the last few years, I disliked the concept of being a pew warmer but still did not have much drive to "go out" so to speak and bring those into this mess I viewed it as.
Finally something that starts to make sense, as Romans 8:28-30 states "He designates beforehand...He calls..."
Then again in John 15:16 with, "Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you..."
As for the money end of it, my views are of same as Rays here. I have been awaken in the area of money for many years and refuse tithing or helping in any way which takes from the basic survival of my life. Despite being pressured to give as this is what is in the word (yet to find exact verse) or be told it.
The Light and Salt don't argue or make noise was rather inspiring, maybe now I will be able to save my voice and it will return to me what it was (my voice that is).
Just wanted to share that, not sure if this is correct or not.
So much time, so much to read, so little strength right now to read it all once let alone thrice.
