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: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast

I do think that with dispensationalism teaching that Jesus teachings are in a different dispensation than church age dispensation, (my understanding of this subject is that the change point in time between these two dispensations was marked by the resurrection.) it has stopped Mennonites from becom...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast

Wife: ChatGPT hasn’t sat through any sermons from Pilgrim or eastern, apparently. And neither have I ;-> It really does illustrate the limitations of AI. And my own limitations. The outline it generated match well with the Mennonites and Anabaptists I know best. So ... what should I know about Pilg...

Re: AP Video: How to Read Revelation & Avoid the Mark of the Beast

Wife: yeah, I just wasn’t aware that mennonites even thought that much about end times prophecy, and the first time I heard a left behind style sermon, my jaw basically dropped. I definitely agree with Josh, and even the hard-core pre-millennial, pre-TRIB people I know here are not actually that do...
