...Anywho, don't hear from her much anymore. I wondered what was up and now this makes sense.

As we were fond of quoting when I was in the pentecostal, hallelujia, born again, charismatic Hillsong church (when it was only the "hills christion life centre" in a industrial unit):
In the Bible 2 Corinthians 6:14 says:"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" (KJV)
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" (NIV)
"Do not be teamed with those who do not love the Lord, for what do the people of God have in common with the people of sin? How can light live with darkness?" (LB)
See - we were told that our relatives and friends who were not "of God" were bad influences and we were to avoid contact and most certainly should not go out with or marry them.
Oh well, with all the money I saved not going out with anyone, I could afford the full 10% of my wage (before tax) tithes. I just
love their big new monumental church estate they've built.
....the above post is with apologies to non-extremist Christians like Nephy & Scaeagles... I just need to vent sometimes. Forgive me.
