Title: hi all, just joined
Post by: wayofpeace on February 21, 2009, 08:53:16 PM
like most of you, i've been visiting RAY's website for a year or so
prior to joining this forum.

the first time i visited i was blown away by the clarity of his message
his audacity, and the courage of his stance:
i had never seen anything like it on the web.

his voice is fresh, invigorating and daring, scandalous and wise;
which is why it is labeled heretical by some and heard as life-giving by others.

so i am glad to be able to partake in this forum,
to further expand on the many horizons that ray and you all have open up.

by HIS mercy and thru HIS grace,
hector

hi iris, george and beloved,

THANKS for your hospitality! 

which is the first thing i noticed
when i was lurking around... which is so different from the typical
'christain' groups, some of which i've joined and learn to regret.

i sense an OASIS here in the midst of a living-water-parched desert:
a place where the wonder-filled freedom of being a child of GOD
can be lived out / speak out / shout without the 'elder brothers' getting on our case.

george,

if CARNAL shows up, you have my permission to call it as you see it.

interesting that you mentioned that our task is mostly UNLEARNING
what has been poured into each of us for years
and errors layered on top of errors over the GOSPEL for centuries.

which is why i was thrilled to read RAY's tenacious deconstruction
and removal of the rubble: making the  GOOD NEWS GOOD again!

hi hector,
welcome home. your descriptions of ray and the voice of his writings are so honest and so true. as has been mentioned before, ray has given us a lifetime of things to study, to bring us to a spiritual knowledge of the Truths of the Scriptures. he has been a vessel used by our Father via a medium we know as the internet. it is my belief that only through the internet could so many from so many places on this earth come together to have our eyes and ears opened to the True Gospel. all has been and will continue to be of God's plan for each and every one of us. those of us who are members of the forum now and those who He will lead here. our eyes, our hearts, and our spirits need to always be on our Brother and our Savior Jesus Christ. i am happy that God has caused you to take the step of joining the forum. His family continues to grow.

love in Him,
claudia

Welcome Hector, It always amazes me everytime we see how God keeps adding to our family. We know it is an act of God. I was in dire need of a Miracle the night I found Rays website. Looking forward to reading your posts and sharing the Love of Christ for All.

In His Love,
Marlene

yes, CLAUDIA, it's a welcome home.

i left the 'church' about 25 years ago.
i've looked for spiritual community online but have been deeply disappointed by what i found.
it was shocking what CHRISTIAN and JESUS have come to mean: a TOTAL contradiction.

BUT, i also found here and there individuals whose writings
were fresh and had the feel of TRUTH himself.
but in terms of fellowship, where conversations of these could be had
have been rare to nonexistent.

it was a frustrating season for me. foolishly i would attempt to point out
how they were exchanging a LIFE for a belief system. 
which is why when i found ray's website, it all made sense and quit hitting my head against that wall.
