Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
The dynamics are basically as you described but I would add that dispensationalism entered Lancaster Conference in the early 1900s, prior to the formation of Eastern. So there was a reaching for Fundamentalism/dispensationalism in the early 20th century after losing the Old Orders in the 1890s. (Di...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast
My opinion and theory is that when it started, Eastern was so sick of relativism and growing worldliness in the Mennonite church, that they over corrected into fundamentalism or literalism. And they found themselves with a mindset that left little room for not taking the Bible (N.T. teachings) lite...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events
I heard the other day that Pilgrim Mennonite Conference may soon be disintegrating into several different groups and that their next annual conference will be their last one. Does anyone know whether this is in fact the case? Yes, this is the case. It has been under discussion for some time. At my ...

Re: Dispensationalism II
.... When people (including Neto) speak of the "modern teaching of the 'imminent return of Christ'" are they referring to something that could include views other than Darby's view? At some level, don't all Christians believe Jesus could come back at any time? .... I should do a bit of st...

Re: Dispensationalism II
Is this the beginning of the modern teaching of the "Imminent Return of Christ" doctrine, or had it been proposed prior to this? Seiss, writing in the 1860s, was adopting Darby's view of the immiment rapture, which Darby developed in the 1830s. But did Darby really...? Or did he just put ...

Re: Dispensationalism II
I got Daniel Hummel's The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism for Christmas this year, and it has a bunch. Can we start with this one? It's actually 150 years old and in Europe, not the middle east, but it's a real classic: .... The solution was simple: "We should, therefore, learn to interpose...

Re: Appalachian Mennonite Church
I know this thread meandered a bit….such is life. I do wonder, does anyone KNOW, not a single person telling someone here their opinion, but really know on a more wide spread basis, has there been a groundswell of feeling in Eastern about unfair or troublesome ordination practices? "Losing the...
