Hi Ronald, 

Where are you from and what did you have in mind? Why do you want to help this ministry in particular? What have you found on our website? 

Please understand, these are friendly, not suspicious questions. Just want to know more about you and where you’re coming from. Tell us about your spiritual background – your journey and life experiences, including practical skills. 

Thank you – look forward to hearing back from you.

I asked the Lord Jesus to come into my life at the age of 18 and I am 64 now. I have always had a strong faith but could not reallly fit in to organized church. I just could not believe some doctrine like eternal hell. I went to bible college thinking God had called me into ministry but nothing happened after that. My work has been in the construction field but I feel I could be a help to a ministry in some practical way. I took an early retirement as I suffer from a depressive disorder. I don’t have a problem with this if I don’t try to work full time. But, I still have a strong desire to serve the Lord and after reading some of your lessons believe you have a good ministry.

Hi Ronald,

Have you red this? Good Riddance to Depression

We’re located in Helena, MT, those running the website, whereas Victor and some of the other believers are in Lethbridge, Alberta, where Harvest Haven (www.HarvestHaven.com), the organic farm and store, are located. 

To help us get to know each other better you could join us at the weekly Sabbath meetings, or at the Bible readings/meetings via telephone conference. Ronnie Tanner has upped your profile on the Forum to give you access to the Private section now, where you’ll find information and instructions on these meetings. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your reply. About the depressive disorder. When I was 3 years old I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would not live because of the severe head injury. I believe because of this injury, I have had many clinical depressions in my life. Now, I am not concerned much as I just don’t try to work a 40 hour week which seems to trigger the depression. Anyway, I have been enjoying reading the many teachings on your site and thank the Lord for them.

I wonder if there aren’t some simple physical things that can help you, Ronald, which I’m not suggesting in place of faith and prayer. It sounds like you’ve found a reasonable way to cope with your problem, but I’m sure there is more and better. Also check out God Heals Today, His Way and Mundane Matters of Importance.

The Purpose of Condemnation is Restoration

From: Aston To: The Path of Truth Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2016 2:06 AM Subject: Hell testimoniesVictor, from what I see in your write up you just don't believe the Bible, Jesus in the Bible talks about the worms in Hell that never dies. Am not holding brief for these people that shared their experiences, true or false they shall answer to GOD, but you too shall answer to the same God for denying his word. You also twist the same Gospel, first remove the log in your eyes Victor before removing the speck in other people's eyes. Word is you are a hypocrite and deceiver yourself and a joker to claim monopoly of knowing the Bible better than others.From: Paul Cohen To: Aston Cc: Victor Hafichuk Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2016 7:26 AM Subject: Re: Hell testimoniesAston, Paul here. We aren’t denying God’s Word – we’re showing how those who interpret it as you do are plainly wrong and in Hell. The worm that never dies and the fire that isn’t quenched will do their work on you, thank God, as He promised. “For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.’ So then each one of us will give account concerning himself to God” (Romans 14:11-12 MKJV).When your condemnation has run its course, then you’ll know that God has sent us: “Behold, I give out of those of the synagogue of Satan, those saying themselves to be Jews and are not, but lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your f...

Deluded to Believe Hell Is Never Ending

From: Dan To: The Path of Truth Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 8:55 AM Subject: Mary BaxterWell I do have to say you have no idea about what the bible really says.You should really look up the judgements of God and you will then know that judgement is forever in hell. Why do you think it says death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire? What does fire do but burns continually, and it's not fire but actually liquid molten sulfur continually burning and it is true that the flesh continually comes back because that's the working of the tree of life except when those are in hell there will be continual torment.  And the bible does say that.Yes once in hell the judgement is set, there's no return from hell because we can never ever righteous except for God in us therefore no amount of judgement upon those in hell can ever make them righteous so therefore the torment will continue for ever. The bible says God will destroy both body and soul in hell.Please study things before you say things that are not true,  thankyou. From: Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk To: Dan Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2016 7:02 AM Subject: Re: Mary Baxter“Why do you think it says death and hell are thrown into the lake of fire?”Because “the last enemy to be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:26 ESV).If Jesus Christ is the First and the Last, Almighty God Whose grace abounds more than sin, how can any person be totally irredeemable? Look at yourself, Dan, spouting ...

Unrighteous Opinions Abound

From: Sarah To: Paul Cohen and Victor Hafichuk Sent: Friday, April 29, 2016 1:03 AM Subject: Correcting wordsHi Paul and Victor,Have you ever received correction with an open heart? In fair warning, your pride will react instantly to any correction or rebuke. You will immediately start thinking of scripture or ways to back your doctrines and reputation. You may react in anger and arrogance, perhaps with snide or rude remarks discounting the messenger/other person, that may include facts and scripture but are of a proud condescending nature. I know that I’m no better than you, and I’ve struggled with pride and fear and control, and all sorts of crap in my past. So please don’t feel the need to push me down to make yourself feel better. Please don’t react that way now. Ask Him to reveal His heart and love for you right now instead. Please don’t read further until you do. Tonight I read on your site, so many quotes of yours of people correcting you, and you’re quoted remarks to them, and they are full of great pride. The correctness of your theology and doctrine do not define who you are, nor does trying to prove that you own the Truth show the value of your worth. Please stop trying to own Truth. Truth, and Wisdom are a person. He is your Father and you are His son, and you need to come to Him, seeking His face, and live dependent in Him in fear and in His love, and as a child in humility. You must not look to the left or the right, or to theology, or to all the ...
