1Co 11:1 Become imitators of me, according as I also am of Christ."
Ray followed Christ... We at least attempt to do the same daily
2Th 3:9 Not that we have not the right, but that we may be giving you ourselves as a model for you to be imitating us."
Paul said this and Ray quoted also.
Heb 6:12 that you may not be becoming dull. Now be imitators of those who through faith and patience are enjoying the allotment of the promises.
Ray followed Christ with Christ's Faith and Patience
Eph 5:1 Become, then, imitators of God, as beloved children,
Eph 5:2 and be walking in love, according as Christ also loves you, and gives Himself up for us, an approach present and a sacrifice to God, for a fragrant odor."
Ray taught us by the "Word" (Scriptures) and example. The sacrifices Ray made for us out of love, devoting his life to study providing for us the knowledge on how to dig for the TRUE TREASURES as well as having love for our enemies.
Tit 1:9 upholding the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able to entreat with sound teaching as well as to expose those who contradict."
Many in christiandom wished Ray Hell because he proved against tithing, hell, the trinity and on and on an on. Wow! Christ work is not in vain, Paul's work was in vain, Ray's work was not in vain, Ray's papers are still changing lives, why because he followed Christ's example.
Love,
Hummer
