Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

I would say the expectation of a crisis conversion experience and the focus on salvation and the Christian life as an intensely personal experience rather than an ongoing experience of yieldedness and a bearing and forbearing as a brotherhood were some fruits of the revivalist movement. I think the...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

I have said nothing of the sort. I'm talking about public policy. Temp proposed a change in public policy that would cap or reduce public spending on childcare. I'm simply pointing out the logical and inevitable result of such a policy: If you make having children more expensive you will get less c...

Re: Monkeypox

Indeed. 20% of women end up with herpes (and 10% of men do) by age 49. This disease has no cure, and there is no "vaccine". The only way to avoid it is to avoid promiscuity, which the Bible teaches us to flee. God's way is the best way. He knows how our bodies are designed and what is best...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

There is very little cost and the cost is zero if one has ACA-compliant insurance which mandates that preventative vaccines be administered free of charge or be covered by insurance. Ken, Could you explain to me how the ACA magically makes something of no cost? Last I checked, vaccines cost money. ...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

A vast number of medications have been tested using stem cell lines including most OTC analgesics, cold medicines, indigestion meds, etc. In fact, most of the stuff in most people's medicine cabinets was tested using stem cell lines. Even basic stuff like Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibupofen, and Pepto-Bismo...

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: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

People respond to economic incentives. It has always been thus since the dawn of time. If that were not so, then no one would ever complain about inflation or bother to do things like economize. And frugality would not be a word that has meaning. Simply put. If you want to encourage more children t...
