I would regard that quote by Peter Reidemann also to be taken out of context. This 1 Cor 5:9-13 text, imo. is talking about about judging evildoers within the local church not evildoers in the world. So, for examples, if you believe a Christian participated in wars and killed someone, if they did n...

Do you think there is anything that will send anyone to hell? I do. The sin of rejecting Him and refusing His offer of forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ. This is the unforgivable sin, because it means we are saying that the Holy Spirit's witness about Jesus is a lie. Do you agree or do you h...

If I understand you correctly, your and my understanding of who is our neighbour is quite different. Those who killed for what they deemed to be a greater cause in war was not killing their neighbour, imo. Those verses you used I would not apply them to all people in wars as many have no real hatre...

This reply ' You are not authorized to read this forum.' doesn't make any sense to me as I can read any forum just by not logging on. I still can't find where my original thread post went but that is OK now that we have it here under the Spoken Word sub forum. I get more easily confused in my old a...

I have tried to find out what happened to this thread but am not getting replies so I will try again as although this is not an Anabaptist preacher, I believe his message is what many Anabaptists would say 'amen' to even if it is under their breath. I had received one 'like' before it disappeared. ...

Sudsy, I avoided this for several reasons. First, I generally don't watch video clips on MN, second I don't want to argue with people who feel motivated to defend President Trump. Arguing usually drives people into more extreme positions. But since you asked, I did watch it. I don't think this accu...

More trying to put words into other's mouths like that previous post with that exposition. Some pacifists are always looking for a fight, I guess.

I'm going to put my faith and trust in Jesus and what He did to save me from my sins. To trust in some man's interpretation of the scriptures that adds to what salvation requires gets us into all kinds of determinations of who is saved and who isn't. I will settle for what Paul says is 'of first im...

Does not make sense to me. The Book also says to love your enemies, not just love your neighbors. How does it make sense that murdering someone “in heart” puts one in danger of hell fire, name calling, yet literally murdering someone, is okay? “What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood ...
