Title: Thanks Ray

    Dear Ray,
     
    You're site is probably one of the best discoveries I have ever made. I can't imagine how much time you have spent studying God's word, and I thank you for it. I thank the Lord that he somehow led me to these truths of the Bible. I went to a Baptist Christian school for my high school education, and every wednesday a chapel service was held for the students. This is a hell-fire and brimstone church, and I'm sure you've heard things like this before, but I just want to tell you what kind of stuff was preached to us 13 to 18 year old students. Every wednesday we got a heavy dose of how hot we would burn in hell if we were to do things that worldly evil teenagers were doing, like listening to upbeat music, or going to parties and dances on friday nights, or watched hollywood movies. To them, since hell and "outer darkness" were the same thing, they had to explain to us how hell could be a place of fire, yet completely dark. Here's what they told us: when a regular orange colored flame is made even hotter, it burns blue (for example a blowtorch), therefore, if a blue blowtorch flame is increased thousands of times hotter it will burn black! They were telling us mere kids that if we did't do right, then upon death God would begin to roast us alive, for all eternity, engulfed in flames THOUSANDS OF TIMES HOTTER THAN A BLOWTORCH!!! I wish I was but I'm not kidding. Needless to say, after graduating I was pretty much too scared to read my Bible, that is until I found your site. Now I can't read enough of my Bible and its COMFORTING truths are all I can think about all day long. 
     
    Thanks
