Welcome Aboard Mike T,
Glad you joined us and it was GOD'S WILL that you left Babylon(Christendom), a passage of Scripture entered my mind while drinking my first cup of coffee this Morning(I work the 4-12 shift); " I have given your word to them, but the World has hated them, because they are no part of the World, just as I am no part of the World. " John. 17:14. " Santify them by means of the truth,; your word is truth. " Verse 17. Also, 1Corinthians. 1:27-29 " but God chose the foolish things of the World, that he might put the wise men to shame and God chose the weak things of the World, that he might put the strong things to shame. And God chose the ignoble things of the World AND THE THINGS LOOKED DOWN UPON, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are, in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God. "
I thought of these Scriptures, while viewing this Thread. That letter you received telling you your not allowed and welcomed, you should write back and tell them; " Thankyou Kindly for encouraging me not to attend Babylonian Services ";
; only kidding Mike T, Jesus said, If they persecuted and hated me, they will do the same to you.
Glad to have you with us Mike T, enjoy the fellowship and stimulating conversations that regularly take place.
Kind Regards, Samson.
