Re: War in Gaza

Second: Is it fair to take this as condoning military participation? Where I’m coming from is the assumption that if a man was converted while in the military, his instruction was to not harm anyone. Because he really didn’t have the freedom to quit the military. Now if that assumption is more or l...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Re: Church Government Models

What other models are you aware of? What are some indicators that Jesus is truly the head, and that the Holy Spirit is indeed working through the system? In many traditions among established reformed/evangelical/etc. groups/denominations, the church government can be said to be at least partly Tech...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

What isn't true?
That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one.

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

I just learned that my wife and I are seventh cousins. I'm supposedly a descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I of Habsburg who dealt ruthlessly with my spiritual forbearers.
