Has anyone heard from any of our Vietnam friends? Does anyone know how to contact any of them outside this forum?

They plan to leave Vietnam on March 26 for Philadelphia to visit MT's eldest brother and relatives…
I emailed MT that folks were asking about them on TMB.

First of all, we would like to thank you all on the board for concerning to us. All of us are OK and happy in the divine communication with each other. Uncle Hoa is on his motorbike visiting here and there.
These days I has been interested in the story of a Samaritan woman beside the well talking to Jesus. After a moment of conversation, she assured that Jesus is the very Saviour, the Christ that the Bible said about and she asked Jesus the thing that she cherished and worried: Where that is right to worship God? on this mountain or in the temple of Jerusalem. Jesus didn't answer where is right to worship God but He said "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers." (John 4:23) I think if the Samaritan woman had met Jesus presently, she would have asked : " in which religion is right to worship God?" I feel sure our Lord will respond the same answer. And God wants me to worship Him by truth, not by made-up, fabricated things. we will have a visit in USA 26 of March we arrive at Philadelphia. 30 of March we are in Washington DC for our classmates and old teachers. Only one day free on 12 of April 13 of April we are in San Jose. 17 of April we are in Los Angeles. 25 of April we back to Vietnam. We hope we will meet some of you when we are in the USA.

After a long time absent from the TMB, we want to return again. In the beginning of September we had a special meeting in Di Linh. We were very glad to meet together and more assured that we worship God in spirit and in truth is in right direction. uncle Hoa is in good health. Uncle Châu is now a good instrument in the hands of Mr. Lyle to persuade golden friends to return to them and continue to lie that the 2x2 way was established from the 1st century.

Can this be moved to the humor thread?
I don't think any of this is much of a joke to these people.

So you do not believe that the workers preach that they were established from the first century, Bert?. They have preached that for years so that is nothing new.

[ Good to hear from you again. I was wondering how you folks were doing. Looks like you had a great group for your special meeting! Glad that you are doing well. :-)

The most important dates of Christianity would be the birth and death of JC. A close second would be your own as this would be your opportunity to "take it all in". If you feel your relationship with Christ has led you to a position of sectarian-advocacy, I don't see any advantage in obscuring the date or the details of your incorporation.

lee mentioned dates that should be of important to us, my thoughts are the birth and death of Jesus and the day our personal conscience was awakened to first seek out God and truly pray......what happened thereafter is merely an indication of how our relationship developed with God our Creator......a bit like a love affair if you start looking elsewhere, start looking for faults and flaws, start looking and listening to other people rather than God..the relationship soon dies.

I find this whole concept of a "spiritual birthday" as rather strange. I can't remember my natural birthday, or the day I started to love and obey my natural father.

Is it really that strange fixit, many can recall when God first meant something to them personally. It is not as if one needs to 'remember' by having a party, but simply to hold that memory and not depart from the contact you had with God at that first moment. Should we really analyse it celebrating our own natural birthdays or that of our parents could be considered very strange as we don't recall any of those actual events and we actually celebrate 'anniversaries' of those days.

Many people say that all religions(Bhudism, Taoism,Confucianism, Christianity...) are the same such as all ways leading to Rome.In my opinion, it means all religions have the utmost purpose teaching people "to do the good things", but the utmost purpose of Christianity is the eternal life.

If you took the prospect of Eternal Life out of the picture, would you still worship God?

Would having a good life not be enough?

Would having a good life not be enough? RIGHT, matisse!
Why spend this life twisting one's beliefs into a irrational pretzel for a supposed life after this life? Why do people not appreciate the 'life' that they have right now?
Another question is,- isn't the whole idea of some 'after-life' hubris?
First of all, - it is egotistical, - concerned with the preservation of one's OWN person.
Second, it is the belief that they are so much more important in the great scheme of life than they really are.
All that effort & time could be so much better spent on humanity as a whole instead of just themselves.

Relationship with Christ is teleological. Christ's righteousness is always in season. All other religions are conventional: they define righteousness by the world, the self-contradictory world.

Would having a good life not be enough? 1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Many versions say 'most to be pitied' in place of 'most miserable'.

Our lives persist beyond this one.
Eternal life is contiguous.
