Re: Hello, everyone

Friend, there are no joos living near me however that does not preclude me from having a good knowledge about them. Tell us, why were you brought up in such an ignorant fashion? Doesn't it bother you to be clueless?

God wants us all to be well learned:
Ecclesiastes 7:12
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Proverbs 4:13
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

Deuteronomy 11:19
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

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:

Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Indeed, all these verses are true, but I have this for my defense in my situation.


Romans 10: 13-14: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?


How can I know, unless I am taught? I come here with an open heart, and a hope for salvation. Brother Hutchins, I am before you and before everyone here like a newborn that has much to learn. I know the Bible for having read it many times. But perhaps I did not know what I was reading. Perhaps I can learn and thus be saved.


I am sorry that I haven’t come here for a few days. After praying fervently, I overcame my revulsion of Richmond Road (the street is a haven of depravity in the middle of downtown), I found the address of the Baptist Church (I had been looking for a church called Landover, hence not finding any). They welcomed me so warmly there. I feel as though I have found the truth.


The pastor was very nice and his words held true comfort to me, unlike any that anyone had ever told me. I still hope I can find guidance on this forum.


Yours, hopefully, in Christ.

Re: Hello, everyone

I am sorry; I must have misspoken in my earlier post. I am presently studying computer programming, not coding satanic filth! I do not nor will I ever program such vile things as video games. They idle the brain, dry out the heart and encourage violence and bloodshed. I feel hurt that you would assume that this is my choice of career.

I understand you hurt. The Truth© can hurt. But it's much better to be aware of your aiding and abetting Satan than to be ignorant of it, don't you think?

Now that you know, you can repent of your sins, and pray for the LORD to reveal to you just how to use your talents for His Glory!

As for Baptists churches being around me, I cannot find any at all.

Have you looked?

First Baptist, on Richmond St, is where my second cousin attends. She loves her small group there! If you stop in, be sure to say hi!

Re: Hello, everyone

This is not true. Your spiritual life either works to glorify God, or it works against God. If you are not glorifying the LORD as you write your computer games, then you are actively seeking to glorify Satan.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Matthew 12:30

London has a number of Baptist churches. Which one is closest to you?

Re: Hello, everyone

There is no connection between that and my spiritual research, to be completely honest.

Presently, I’m 24 years old and I live in Ontario; I attend a college called Fanshawe and have a small job on the side in the meantime to make ends meet. I was born in Ottawa but now I live in London (yes, the city has the same name as the capital of the UK).

Re: Hello, everyone

Jesus was literally baptized by John the Baptist. How could you not have heard about Baptist Christians?

I remember well John the Baptist from the Scriptures, and that he baptized Jesus by submerging him in the Jordan, after which, He received the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove.
This fact, nonetheless, doesn’t change that there are no Baptists churches near me. Truthfully, I had never heard of it before a few days past, while researching.

Re: Hello, everyone

I’m afraid I couldn’t extrapolate on the joys of being a Baptist, as this is the first time I ever read about this faith.

Re: Hello, everyone

Tell me Micheal, what is your favorite thing about being a Baptist?


Dosen't it make you giggle when people worship mary? I know it annoys God to no end.

I’m afraid I couldn’t extrapolate on the joys of being a Baptist, as this is the first time I ever read about this faith. Also, there are none where I live at all, to my knowledge.


Although I do not approve of the worship of Mary, I do not jeer or mock those who choose to do so. My having been a precocious child has made me the target of a lot of persecution and mockery at school. I will not act like my peers of those years. I find the cult of Mary an example of the very sad spiritual state of many people, and to me, that is not very amusing.

Re: Hello, everyone

I thought all you frogs knew each other. Maybe he was your grandfather, I don't know.

I certainly have French ancestors, but none of them are this man. My grandfather's name is Martial and he is still very much alive. He and my grandmother, as well as my relatives on my father’s side, all reside in Quebec. My grandparents are a devout couple, I encountered religion for the first time in their home before I could even speak and it was there also that I started wondering and researching.

Hello Mr. Chevalier, and welcome to our friendly forums!

So tell us, how do you plan to use computer programming to glorify the LORD?

I have always enjoyed working with computers. The fact that I can code something and see it happen before my very eyes never becomes boring. I entered this program because I enjoy mathematics and formulas. There is no connection between that and my spiritual research, to be completely honest.

Hello Michael!

Welcome to our lovely forum. First, I must say what an inspiring scripture you have as a favorite. Please tell us more about yourself; how old are you? Where in Canadia are you from?

You're a catholic, aren't you...

My mother had me baptized one when I was three months old, but I withdrew from their church when I was nine, on my own. I did not find a suitable answer in their midst as I don’t agree with the notion of worshipping images or saints. Here, in the city where I now live, the majority is protestant. I didn’t find satisfying answers in their faith either.

No, my father's name was Yves. He passed away in 2011 from a car accident.
