I’m thankful and feel very fortunate to of been lead to Rays papers. Those things I had learned from Christendom I believed as truth. And tradition became blended with truth in me.
As I read the writings of Ray and discover each nugget of truth Ray points out with many scriptures to reinforce what he is saying are the man made doctrine being exposed.
Once I believe hell was a real place where God dealt with those of us who reject or not follow his ways. Now I see it was a man made tradition that was exposed through Ray’s teachings.
Where I found the greatest comfort of all was in Rays teaching of our will which is not outside of Gods will. Christendom led me to believe I had to chose God and live accordingly to the Ten Commandments.
Through Ray’s teaching I discover I don’t choose God but rather the opposite, God chooses me. So here is another man made tradition being exposed.
These two truths alone are exposing many false teachings I received as well as showing me much about other religions too.
I had a couple of J.W. visit my home about two weeks back and they were very polite, kind and considerate people. I could see they really cared about people and their final destiny.
I had asked them what happens to a person is they refused to accept God and just live the way they want without God. They had told me that they would not be resurrected. Because I had read Ray’s teaching I knew they were wrong and tried to explain that all people will be eventually save. And no it was to no avail.
As they walk away from me I felt wonderful because I know in my heart God loves them and God will save them. I thought as also as they walked away from me that somehow they were trying to earn salvation by doing works and going door to door. God bless them.
I see where Ray’s teachings are setting me free from the false beliefs that are all around us. I’m starting to understand the religions of the world and to think, I don’t even have a college degree.
I’m sure I still have false beliefs in me and are being exposed as I read Ray’s papers and converse here in this forum. But the two greatest truths I do have the world cannot take from me as they are forever living in my heart.
Thank you for this post as it caused me to reflect how privileged I’am in having what not many have but only the few and that’s the truth. Amen.
God bless you all. In His Love. Richard
