Re: Anabaptist church planting: a proposal

But if I was going to guess as to which ones will still be around 100 years from now like the Mennonite communities our forefathers built. I know which I would pick.

Re: Christian Orders and Lessons for Anabaptists and similar groups

Any thoughts on why we don't encourage people interested in a plain lifestyle to create their own church instead of trying to join an Anabaptist group? Maybe FotW, is an example of this.

Re: Christian Orders and Lessons for Anabaptists and similar groups

Wouldn't that be un-Biblical and contrary to the teachings of Jesus to tell people "you should be in a church but just not OUR church" Hypothetical situation...an evolutionary scientist wants to join a plain Mennonite congregation, but the preacher ask him to put his evolutionary views on...

Re: Evidence for Evolution

Re: Evidence for Evolution

Why don’t you tell us how you really feel? :lol: This is the kind of claptrap that Ken Ham (currently the most famous creationist huckster) makes his living selling.
