Hello cp.
I think the best way to understand what treasures one can uncover here at the bt forums is first to familiarize yourself with
bible-truths.com. I feel I can speak for more than a few brothers and sisters here that before we joined the forums, we spent a lot of time reading and studying Rays material >>>[lurking here also
].
I for one spent over two years reading and trying[as if it could be any other way] to let the Spirit do His work in me before I even had the ability to even feel comfortable speaking of the things that were given to me of God.
I'm not saying that one can not participate in the forums without first reading Rays stuff 2,3,4,5 times or more,but it sure won't hurt any. I would hate to see your enthusiasm for the Truths of God go by the wayside because you first did not put the effort into your studies first.
It would be best to read, and then read some more, the writings of Ray in order to fully comprehend what the Lord wants you to see [always with Scripture in hand] so as to be able to come to the forums and partake in conversation that fulfills the meaning of truly called and chosen people of God. There is so much to learn and so little precious time to do it in. Believe me cp,there are many times that I'm left scratching my head in wonderment of how much I really don't know,but coming here with like minded people sure makes the journey that much easier.
When we are all on the same page with what the Truths of the Spirit have given to us freely by the Grace of The Father who truly loves us all ,only then can one appreciate how special this forum and the people here really are.
Peace to you my brother...Mark
