I so agree with you Craig and George. What brought me in here was sin in my life. Also, thinking how often I thought i was doomed for Hell. Little did I know that it did not exist. I came in with the hope it didn't exist. When, God showed me these truths and I believed, God gave me the understanding not to let Babylon steal these truths from me. I had already done research on Calvin, Weslely, Luther , and others. I did not see anyway for anyone to miss going to Hell. I knew, there had to be more to then just believe in God.
This verse helped me to see something was wrong with Babylon. 1 Corinthians Chapter 14 verse 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. I saw I had confusion and no peace. I had thought I had sinned so greatly God had no alternative but to send me to the fabled Hell. Hebrews 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. God had forgiven me of that sin, but I could not believe it cause I had no truth. God used these verses to bring me to hate Hell. I never did like the thought of it, But, it is all you ever heard for years.
God used them same verses to show me I had no truth. To show me God is Love. I typed in Hell and I have been reading Ray's articles ever since. I am no way enduring pain quite like Ray. But, I do have an everyday battle with pain, diabetes, arthritis. God is helping me to watch closely what I eat. I have had very good times and very bad times over my years. But, I can say more better days now that God is aiding me. But, trials make us stronger. .
Now God uses those verses in Hebrews 10 to keep me walking with him. Hebrews 10 verse 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fierey indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Can you even see how without truths I did not even know that it did not mean Hell. I mean it said, Judgement, but I was blind and I did not have truth. God had everything timed perfectly for me to believe. I have no interest in debating about this anymore. God is able to take care of all of us in his time. Secondly, it is a waste of the time God has to train us for a bigger purpose , when he returns for his Elect. This is the truth and we need to stop trying to do Gods work and do what the scriptures Geoge gave shows us. Do, we like to debate because we think we know it all or do we like to learn what God wants us to do.
Babylon, has already had more of my life then I like. I want to learn. I want to let God teach me. He used Ray and in my opinion I don't even come close to being used. I have shared with my Dr. of DC but just that he did not think Hell was for people. But, everything is in Gods hands. All, I said, to him was that Jesus is the Saviour of the World . That, made his mouth drop and he smiled at me. I let him talk and that is all I said to him. He never said anymore after that. But, saw him yesterday and he told me he saw that I had less anxiety in my life then from the last 3 years I have gone to him. So, he brought things up and I just said what God led me to say and left it at that. He asked me to write Ray's website down. I just will leave it up to him to say something.
But, I will not try to debate and waste anymore time with the blind. They are blind because God has it that way. Its the will of God when any of us are brought to the truth. I can assure you from my experience that this was only God who brought me hear and any of the rest of us. The devil will try to take away these truths. I had that thrown at my spirit off an on. But, now I know that God is taking care of him. I just pray every day God help me to endure. If not for God I could not even give that prayer out. All, Glory Be To God! We are blessed by God to have Brother Ray and I thank God for this gift everyday.
In His Love,
