I am so excited about becoming a member of this forum. I enjoy reading and listening to Bro. Smith's teachings and am in almost total agreement. I am also seeking fellowiship with other like minded believers in or near Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I would love to hold small meetings in my apartment. I am retired, however I do work part time on temporary office assignments.
I lived in Biloxi, MS when Hurricane Katrina hit. I was planning to attend one of Bro. Ray's meetings in Mobile, but did not make it. However, I want to do so in the future.
Katrina took everything I owned materially, but not spiritually! I was down but not out. My faith kept me solid in Christ. Then in June of 2006 I had to have surgery for cancer. I have recovered completely, God be praised. I am ready to go deeper with Him and do what He calls me to do, which is help declare His Unlimited Love to those who think His Love is limited.
I write for the Lord and have my own website, which you may find by checking my profile.
If you live in South Louisiana, please private message me about setting up fellowship meetings. God bless you all!
Mary.

Welcome, Mary.
I have many relatives in the Baton Rouge area, however, God has not chosen to open thier eyes and ears at this time. They don't communicate with me much anymore.

Mary,
God bless you and the wonderful testimony that you shared. We are all here to love and serve our Lord and each other. Can't wait to fellowship with you.
In His love,

Welcome in Christ's love, sister. Pray that God will bring us (HIS CHURCH) together in the name of Jesus by the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT. 1 Corinthians 12:14 - For the body (church body) is not one member, but many.1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Sincerely in HIS LOVE,
Bradford

hi my name is Debby and Im new to this site but NOT new to reading the bible truth site Honestly i do not recall how i got to the site just one day i was searching bible studies to do online to search for the TRUTH and true teachers of it, and i think i typed in Hell and it brought me to Ray Smiths site, so i started reading and within a few months and hours of reading and searching the scriptures and saying WOW the church of Christ that i was going to and dropped out was way off base.. Not wanting to believe that but the church somehow got divided and closed down now. But i believe what Mr. Smith is saying although i check scriptures myself too..Im not that smart at all but I do understand some things.. wish i were smarter..
thanks for letting me join this site too..
In his love
Debby

Hello Debby
It is so wonderful that you have joined the Forum. We all get dragged here! :D
..... I heard it once said that God does not call the qualified, HE Qualifies the called. :D
.... It is a family here of like minded brothers and sisters and it is not how great, smart or intelligent we are that counts. It is how great HE is that is our blessing here as we enjoy HIS camaraderie with us. ;D
I am sure you will fit in just nicely here so kick off your shoes and enjoy!
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

Thanks for the welcome. I need to ask something and i havent a clue to where i ask questions so i will ask here, hope its ok.
I want to ask if its alright if i re-tape Rays preaching that is on here,I would like to make my own they will be used for my own use or to give to friends. I wanted to make sure that its legal to do and that i have Rays permission to do this. also wanted to ask if its alright to print out all the emails on here (well some of them lol) and on the other site the teachings??thank you Debby
PS I wish he had tapes for sale Id be one of the VERY first to buy them or outlines ect. I need bible studys of the TRUE word of GOD and It is here I believe that 100%
PSS If anyone else needs me to tape any of the tapes for them (IF I have Permission to do that) I would be happy to do it for them. Free ofcourse BUT I could only do a 3 or 4 or maybe more a month coz i live on SSI very limited income but I am a true believer of Ray Smiths teachings and I dont understand alot of it yet but im trying to learn while i search the scriptures myself as well.. If im NOT allowed to do this IM sure someone will speak up and tell me I hope..

Hi Debby,
I am glad you have come to the forum. I've always wished I was smarter too :-\
But I always remember this scripture.
1Co 1:26 For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise men according to the flesh are called, not many mighty, not many noble.
v.27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
v.28 and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are;
v.29 so that no flesh should glory in His presence.
v.30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;
v.31 so that, according as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."
We're all seeking the Truth, and you should fit right in :)
We like it when you ask questions, the easy one are fun and there is plenty here to help with the harder ones.
So enjoy the fellowship.
mercy, peace, and love

Welcome dear sister,
You've found the true church. Or rather, it's found you. John 6:44 - No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 2:19 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 1 Peter 2:5 - Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
IN HIS LOVE welcome,
Bradford

Hi everyone I am new here too this is only post 2.
I am hoping to learn I have always questioned so many things like hell, I believe Ray is a blessing to many.
He certainly has opened my eyes.

Thanks, I am a person that has spent time checking for truth and finding truth in many ways. The greatest is the gift of faith and trusting Jesus to teach and guide the world to the New World. In which I hope to be able to enter and find my New Self enjoying life and helping others.
My reply to the following questions.
1) Purpose for joining the forum is to find ( I am willing to buy truth !) or share truth and charge nothing! Also I demand of myself free inquire and to remain harmless while doing so.
2) Yes, I have read and agreed to the forum rules.
3) No! I have not been a previous forum member, using this or any other account!
Thanks for your time in reading my response.
From a nothing and a nobody and going nowhere in particular.
