hi Eileen,
Good study habits; you are correct. As I wrote, Ray did say more on the subject it is hard listening and reading daily.

EKnight:
Sorry George, I didn't see you had that part in your post. :o :o

Thanks Dennis, and George. I had forgotten about the Nashville postscript--I need to go over that a few more times. :)

Does Ray also believe that there were men BEFORE the creation of Adam? If so, then every human (who was supposed to be made in God's Image - or BEING made in God's Image) can not and will not be saved/made righteous etc, etc, since it is only those "IN ADAM" that shall eventually "be made righteous" according to Romans 5. Seems to me that Adam was the first man, unless God will NOT make ALL "humanity" in His Image?

Not true.
Even if there where humans before Adam [which, as previous posters have so stated, is pure speculation until Scriptural Proof...], they can and will be saved. It was through Adam's Sin, that humanity became subject to death and Judgment; whether or not, one is a descendant of Adam doesn't change that:
Romans 5:17 "For if, by the offense of the one, death reigns through the one, much rather, those obtaining the superabundance of grace and the gratuity of righteousness shall be reigning in life through the One, Jesus Christ."
18 Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for all mankind for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all mankind for life's justifying."
19 For even as, through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners, thus also, through the obedience of the One, the many shall be constituted just."
Besides, we have plenty of other Scriptures that plainly say that God wills ALL HUMANITY to be saved:
I Timothy 4:9 Faithful is the saying and worthy of all welcome
10 (for for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind,; etc, etc, etc...
If you try to limit the "all mankind", then you're making the same mistake that Babylon has done to justify their evil doctrine of Eternal Damnation.
Hope this helps,
Daywalker.
