Title: Hi!
Post by: Kent on April 19, 2007, 04:33:16 PM

Another new member here.

I came to the main site from a link posted on another board.

I have been to many websites, more than I could count.
Never have my eyes been open like they have here. The Lord is
using this site, and I am not joking about this.

Scripture that I basically glossed over is coming alive. Scripture that I saw as literal
now makes sense when it's seen symbolically. There's more, but I am a man of few words and I will spare you.

Something has opened up, and I thank you for doing your part.

Hi Kent,

I'm glad you have joined us here at the forum  :)
I think we all have had that experience, as you did.  It is a wonder to the mind to have your eyes open to the truth.
I hope you will share what you are learning with us, and ask questions if need be.
The fellowship we have here is a great blessing, so don't hesitate to join in.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat

Welcome Kent!  I'm glad that you found us!  Keep reading all of Rays' stuff and then you won't be able to stay quiet for long ;), or you'll burst at the seams :D  Where are you from?  I am here in West Texas, tornado alley as they call it at this time of year; or THE WILDERNESS as I call it ;)  Let us hear more from you.

Thanks again, all!  :)
It never made sense to me that those who never even heard of Jesus would be tortured for eternity, and I never believed it, I just didnt know what the answer was. I idnt even believe that those that consciously rejected Christ went to hell for trillions upon trillions of years of torture. I -knew- that was mind control. I had to wait for an answer to this, and He provided it.

Favorite? The series on free will is one of the main ones. It was an easy concept to know, but a hard concept to understand. I was always worried about if I am doing my will or Gods' will. Well, since I am still breathing, that means I am doing His will. ;) That is quite the load off my shoulders.

I was worried when i first came here. I've dealt with online cults before and anyone that claims to have The Truth is suspect, but nowhere does Ray put the emphasis on himself. He ... Actually uses scripture as it was written and as it is meant to be understood. Revolutionary, unfortunately. I have yet to find 1 single thing to disagree about, and I looked hard for something.

God Bless!

I _think_ it's "hale" ;)

I dont know. God willing I'll be there. But I have learned to not worry about the future... :)

Me too!  Although when I first started reading it I thought "What?  How could this be?" and then after I finished reading it and saw all the scriptural evidence I thought "Boy, how could this NOT be!"  But I like what you said here,

It was an easy concept to know, but a hard concept to understand.

I still struggle with applying this knowledge about "free will" to every situation, and integrating it into my daily living....

I KNOW we don't have free will, but I often forget.....


Joy and Gena, glad you liked my banner, thought it was pretty cool too....I found it here where they have a few others too, in case you're interested  ;)
