Let God be God. He is the one that has to open the eyes. A blind man simply can't see no matter how hard he wants to. And truly its been a weight off my shoulders to know that I don't have to be an expert on everything and I don't need to argue anymore. There are times now when I will give a mild correction to the carnal teachings of the church and then simply provide a link back to the website where they can read what the lake of fire is and what 'hell' is and is not. God will bring those around whom he chooses to bring around. For years I would of rejected most of the truths that Ray teaches and then one day 'poof' the light bulb went on and I began to understand. But it isn't until God opens our eyes that we can see. At one time I fancied myself as a teacher but I was teaching error. I am now content just to be one of the flock and to learn.

As much as we desire to share what we know and have others see what we see, we can not do it. Coming to realise this can be painful and temptating. The temptation is to be overcome. The pain has to be healed. Both are achieved by the Spirit of Christ. For me, this is part of the process of experiencing that God has us all exactly where HE wants us in our understanding, in our abilities and inabilities. He is the maker and we all are HIS clay.

I second that. AMEN!! ;D
Those stuck in Babylon are in a panic because the entire human race is doomed to suffer the eternal torments of hellfire. BUT we know that that's all a crock, and that God will save all mankind.. yet all according to their own class [1 Cor 15:23].
We have no need to panic or rush out and try to 'save' everyone. Our only task now is to follow Christ and endure to the consummation [Matt 10:22].
If God desires to use us as a tool to save more people now, in this life, then He will do so at those times, and He will do so by speaking through us via His Holy Spirit.
THANK GOD THAT HE'S IN CONTROL, AND NOT US!

Phil3:10:
Craig,
Your post concerning debating is so right. GOD has each of us where HE wants us right now. There are to many teachers now and most know not what they teach. Untruths are every where but HIS truths are for HIS revealing to each in HIS time frame. I am so thankful that HE alone is in control.
In HIM.,
Phil3:10
