Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
These are actual people Jesus cares about. If you are following Jesus, you will show compassion as Jesus would. I hope they never, never read this thread and stay far away from Mennonet. May Jesus comfort and care for them on the road ahead.

Re: Proselytization
A couple of questions. 1. How can this tendency to proselytize and make a zealot out of someone be distinguished from genuine evangelistic and outreach efforts, which are clearly a part of our task as Christians? 2. What is meant by "traveling across sea and land" - is Jesus implying that...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
My guess is most favor autocracy when their favored positions are in a minority position.

Re: An article about Anabaptist two-kingdom dualism
It's a little dense, but I think I agree entirely assuming I understand it properly. The Anabaptist position on nonviolence is different at the root from other forms of pacifism because it is built entirely on the reality of a risen, ruling Christ, without this foundation it is logical or philosophi...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
It feels to me like this movement has taken a biblical role or gifting (prophecy) and created a church structure to meet the needs of that role. I see it similar to the authority structure created for bishops by the high church model or the little fiefdoms of low church with a single prominent leade...

Now that I have a little taste of populism, I feel some nostalgia fo...

Re: Preach it Bro !
and where fleeing civilization and "homesteading" become spiritual callings. could you please enlarge on this? The Millennialism and Dispensationalism of today are reactions to the collapse of Post millennialism, at least in the US context. After the Civil war, theology that put the Union...
