Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

I just find the lack of Grace and Forgiveness here astounding. If I come across an NMB seeker looking at the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite) I will forward this response. I don't think my fellow church members lack in grace or forgiveness. I myself have a promiscuous past, and I don't feel anyo...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

He wrote a six part series on vaccines and why we have the issue with fetal cells and ethical issues. He holds a different position than me on fetal cell testing, but agrees on vaccines grown or medication grown on fetal cells. https://www.anabaptistmedicalmatters.com/2017/06/vaccines-1-reasons-to-...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Who cares? She didn’t have a 401k at all. The law she violated applied equally to every form of defined contribution retirement account that allows early withdrawals: 457 plans, 403(b) plans, IRAs, and 401(k) plans alike. So the story would be no different had her withdrawals been from an IRA or 40...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

That would be the part where I would disagree with him on but it’s a fairly minor point. So you wouldn’t think he’s living in sin by refusing a rubella vaccine that is ethically compromised? If I were his patient, I would be no longer. If someone came to me, that had been denied a Rubella vaccine, ...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

I recall reading this. He and I are not as far apart as you might think. That would be the part where I would disagree with him on but it’s a fairly minor point. So you wouldn’t think he’s living in sin by refusing a rubella vaccine that is ethically compromised? I would question his judgment, and ...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

The keyword here is "tendencies." If Christ has given him the victory over it, and he continues to walk in the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, I see no problem in and of itself. That he concealed it would likely be a matter of confession and counseling, which would vary, depending on t...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

I appreciate living in a society where people are allowed to make choices about their personal health. I also see value in mass vaccinations to slow disease circulation so vulnerable people are protected by "herd immunity". I don't know how to square that circle. My way of squaring it is ...
