Title: Hello from the UK (as well!)
Post by: Farlsborough on June 25, 2014, 05:47:05 PM

Nice to see there are a few UK members!

I found this site via a post on Tentmaker, where I am a member with the same username. I came to UR by a study with a friend from church, and it has made me realise how ignorant I am about truth in the scriptures. The understanding Ray has despite his lack of "formal education" in theology or ancient languages is astounding and inspiring, and now I cannot wait to get home from work each day to study scripture, plus I listen to his videos in the car! This surely is how it's supposed to be; desperately thirsty for revelation and wisdom, compared to the dryness I experienced with scripture at times before.

So many jaw-dropping revelations: that scripture is supposed to be difficult to understand, that there is more hope for non-believers than orthodoxy gives but more challenges for Christians too, that there is a simple way to at least get to grips with most of the parables, that the feasts of the Hebrews perfectly foreshadow God's plan for the world and so on. I've honestly learnt more about the Bible in the last month than I have in the last five years.

Long may it continue!

Hi Farlsborough,

I'm glad you have joined us  :)
It's a really humbling experience when we realize we were so blind, right along with the rest of the church, for so long. But it's such a breath of fresh air to finally began to see the truth in the Scripture. Take your time and let it all soak in, it's a lot to wrap your mind around at first. Join the discussions or ask questions if you like.

Yes, Ray truly was blessed to be a teacher of the marvelous truths that he published on this website.  Years prior to BT, Ray had been a minister in the WWCG, but he did not learn any of these truths from that organization or their "theological" training.

Hi Farlsborough.  Welcome from the U.S., even though I signed up after you. 

Anyone interested can make podcasts about these topics and post them for free on iTunes.  It's another way to get the word out, with specials guests or no guests.  Just a thought.

Hello to you from India.

Whether you've spent 5 years or 10 in Christendom, the feelings are the same when to get to BT. :)

But God determines the time we each need to spend in the darkness before coming into the light of his marvelous truth.

Glad your hear Farlsborough!  I am on tentmakers forum as well.  But since I found Rays teachings, it's hard to get the spirit filled teaching anywhere else! I hear you on the excitement of Gods Word opening up...it's truly God breathed.

Gods Peace,
Jordan
