This forum is but a landing and take off of like minds of the Spirit, this is A FORUM built of human hands.
It is in the MIDST of our fellowship in Spirit that we Will always find Jesus amongst us.
We are taken in the the heights of heaven in Spirit when we subject to one another in the Spirit of the Word of God.
We come together here on this forum and the Holy Spirit launches us up into the realm of Spiritual Knowledge of God.
We do not gain Knowledge from the Word of God because our flesh sits in a chair in front of a monitor and our flesh types on a keyboard and moves a mouse this is the delusion. The Reality of the Spirit is We obtain because our Spirits are lifted up into the clouds where we met Jesus in Growth of our Spirits.
I will add the Scriptures in a bit as i am but now just waking from meds for allergies...... ;D

I thought this forum and it's conversations was the result of what God is doing in us, spiritually. So in that way, in the members discussing the spiritual knowledge from the scriptures, what are some examples of 'staying of the dead works', how one 'is going into maturity', and how 'one goes backward'.
Here is the statement again:

The point is knowing where we are, we can then decide to go on past the dead works, into maturity or keep going backwards.

Even the Admins were shown something of the Spirit back in the BEGINING. :o 8)
This forum is primarily a place for people of a like mind to fellowship, and secondarily to discuss and question what they learn on bible-truths.com.
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh accomplishes nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

That's a good point Rodger, but again, what are some examples from this statement before:
--- Quote from: mharrell08 on March 23, 2009, 02:41:33 PM ---I mean on the forum...where and how this is happening on the forum. Examples of how one is staying on the 'dead works' and how one is going past them into maturity...examples of how one goes backward.
Here is the statement from George again:

I see a lot of maturity here in the last few years, some are farther along than others, some will go farther still, others may hit a wall. For those who go farther in maturity, do they help the less mature? Or do they find themselves full of knowledge and little patience for others who may be too slow?
--- Quote ---30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coins[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

Who was really the more mature in this story? The ones who had a "head knowledge" of spiritual things? Or the one who may not have been as knowledgable but shown the works of Christ in him? The teaching we get from Ray is a gift from God. It is full of sprititual meat for both the young and old, but this teaching does nothing to take us farther in having Christ live in us and through us, for that we must die to ourselves and desires. This is where I fail and most here do also, this is the battle we wage, the race we run. This is what overcoming is.
No matter where we are in our journey we should strive for the works of Christ to show through.

Thankyou Craig,
I copied and pasted a paragraph from your Post that I believe to be true and although
I love the meat of Rays teachings, have read all of his Articles, at least once, some have read several
times, even printed out at least 60% of his articles to study and re-read at work, but only retain some
of the points expressed. I probably need to re-read his material more often. I spent most of the time
trying to get a solid understanding on the basics, so I could share with others, when the opportunity
presents itself(1Peter.3:15).
Craigs Paragraph Pasted below from his Post in Blue.
Mature members should not force the meat on anyone, and the less mature members should not try to eat more than they can chew. Everyone is in a different place in their journey. Everyone is welcome to fellowship no matter where they stand. If you abide by the forum rules what is it to me where you are in this walk? or even if you don't believe anything Ray teaches? No matter the circumstance, God has you were He wants you. That you can be sure of.
Craig
Also, thankyou Roger for starting this Topic, it's definitely " Food for Thought " no pun intended, ;).
I would definitely like to have a Spiritual Steak(Prime Rib, Rare), the desire is there, I pray that it's
Gods Will that I gain more understanding during the present Aion.
Kind Regards, Samson.
