There have been some people who perhaps have or may claim or perceive that I Ray Wegner am starting, or inventing my own religion or church. So I must deal with this false perception, because it is not the reality. 

We are supposed to be living in a country here in Canada that respects people's freedom of religion and freedom of expression and speech.  

It says in the Canadian Constitution: 

Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms and Fundamental Freedoms (from the Canadian Constitution) " The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association. "

These are my freedoms that are supposed to be guaranteed to me as a Canadian citizen, yet there are too many power crazed individuals who would use their power and influence to deny me my constitutional rights and freedoms, and slander me to boot. 

I Am Not Starting Up My Own Church or Religion

I serve and worship God the Father and Jesus Christ, who is also part of the Godhead. I have no authority from my God to start up any new religion, or any new church. The true new testament church was founded on the Day of Pentecost almost two thousand years ago - when the Holy Spirit was send down from God and entered the 120 believers assembled. The true church has existed throughout the ages and certainly exists today as well. Jesus Christ is the head of the true church. Jesus Christ builds the true church, which is His body. The true new testament Church of God is a spiritual organism consisting of those who have the Holy Spirit living in them. 

I do not have any authority from God to create any new doctrines and am only allowed by my God to teach church doctrines that are biblically based, and which are scriptural. Have no authority from God the Father and Jesus Christ to create new church doctrine, or invent new teachings, or to usurp the authority of Christ. Jesus is the head of the true church - not me or the Pope. The fundamental doctrines of the Church of God listed on my web site are all biblically based. They are not my creations, but are from the teachings in the Bible. 

I never wrote the Bible. The Bible is the inspired word of God. 

2 Timothy 3:16   " All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: "  

I did not invent the weekly Sabbath, or the annual Sabbaths. I never invented the Ten Commandments. I did not create the Laws in the Old and New Testaments. 

It is my duty to try my best to follow God's laws myself, and to teach faithfully what the Bible teaches. The true new testament church is build upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles with Jesus Christ being the chief corner stone. I am duty bound as a servant of God to insure that any church group I am responsible for as a teacher - be built upon the foundation of the prophets and apostles - with Jesus Christ being the chief corner stone. 

Ephesians 2:19-23  "  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. " 

The foundation of the true Church of God is the Bible !  The inspired of God teachings and writings of the prophets like Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and in the New Testament the inspired writings of the apostles like Matthew, Paul, Peter and John and with Jesus Christ the Son of God being the chief corner stone. 

I can only build on that foundation and have no authority to get and teach church doctrine from anywhere except the Bible - both Old and New Testaments. 

How anyone could be so misinformed, ignorant, or perhaps just plain malicious to suggest I am creating my own Church or my own religion - is almost too much for me to understand. 

I have issued a challenge to all my readers of my spiritual writings. It is as follows:

Readers are encouraged to point out biblical errors in all of my material and writings on spiritual matters. If you can find scriptural errors in my teachings that cannot be backed up by hard, concrete biblical teachings and doctrine - then I will gladly accept the constructive criticism and make the changes needed. So please go ahead and point out my mistakes, but your criticism must not be based on mere opinion, but must be able to be proved from the Bible.

I have been a serious student of the Bible since age 14. I take my role as Bible teacher very, very seriously. And for me - I would never be a Bible teacher, if I did not personally know God. You have to know your subject first before you can expect to teach others.
