You can give them whole books to read, like Exodus and you will see God's plan in it, the whole message never warns about a "hell" or "endless torture."
Were Adam and Eve warned? Cain or Abel? Noah and the people who encountered the flood? I'm not sure why for so long and all the time I spent reading the Bible did I miss all that..LOL Oh well thanks God for using Ray to point it out. :-)

That is SO TRUE! I can turn anywhere in the Bible now and see it plain as day. God's in control. He makes all things happen. Mankind is weak. God judges us in order to purify us. It's THERE! For example, I just read Job in the last couple of days. CHOCK FULL OF IT.
Like you, even though I know why (I wasn't humble enough for God to show me yet), I still marvel that I never saw it before.

I second that "SO TRUE". Even if Jesus manifested Himself and told them the Truth, these most stubborn people would cast Him out of their 'synagogue' without hesitation...
Every time I open the Scriptures to read now, it's a whole new book! [opposed to my pre-bibletruths eon]
And now that I'm getting more familiar with using e-Sword and The SWORD Project [special "shout out" to george for getting me a few updates I wasn't aware of], it's amazing the things I am finding in God's Word!! Being able to compare translations, look up Hebrew/Greek words, and find verses with only a few mouse clicks vs. thumbing through multiple Bibles/books is so much more efficient and easy.

I've used e-Sword too, but I've come to favor http://www.blb.org/. It has many of the same capabilities, and even better (in my opinion) greek and hebrew look-ups.

Daywalker,
Something we must All remember; we were just as deceived as the ones still in Babylon.
But for GOD'S Grace there we would still be. So we must do all we can to Edify and Show
why we now believe what we profess. Ray has been fashioned By GOD to be our Teacher.
We Give Glory To GOD And Our Lord Jesus Christ; when we use the Scriptures given to us
to build up one who is weak or foundering.
Act 20:35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember
the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Php 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Heb 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through
the deceitfulness of sin.

Hello, Everyone
This is an excellent thread. I thought I was alone in not being able to communicate to others, just yet, why I believe. Oh, I know in my heart the truth but I get nervous, and start to sweat too because I don't know if I will be able to say the right words and perhaps also fearful of being verbally attacked. People might think me crazy!! All the reactions are expected which might be the reason for the nervousness and sweating :-\
But one thing, for sure, I have come to realize...I MUST study, I MUST prepare myself. My desire is to please The Father in this alone and no one else. I figure, since HE can use an a s s, surely I might be suitable for something, you think ???
Thank you, Saladking, for sharing..and thank everyone else for sharing as well.
Charrie :-*

Amen, george!
[God-willing...] I'll never forget that He lead me out of Babylon, and it was not of myself.
