Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
Dan Freed, I agree with you 100%. And I do pray for our nation's leaders, and for our nation and the nations around the world. I am confused though. Even though I agree with you, why did you bring this up in this thread alone, and not in the numerous other threads about the other presidential candi...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
Grace, These are troubled times, in America and around the world. Your thread reminded me of New Testament teaching from Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1-6. Great instruction, for what we as Christians can do to help our government leaders... "I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask ...

Re: War isn’t murder
RZehr and Soloist, Very sad lyrics about war. But there is an alternative, found in the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Jesus own words about the peace He would give (John 14:27) "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be t...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil
JM - congrats on the grandchild! This discussion of baptismal regeneration, reminds me of a scene from Jesus crucifixion. "Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed [Jesus], saying,“If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.” But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you n...

Re: Keys to Peace of Mind ?
Great thread, Sudsy! Jesus is the Key. Philippians is a letter written from prison, and yet it's full of love, joy and peace, because of Paul's relationship with Jesus. In John 14, Jesus says He gives His peace as a gift for those who believe (trust) in Him. John 14:1,27,28 “Don’t let your hearts be...

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology
My current favorite is the one I am presently reading, by Marcus Yoder. "Cathedrals, Castles, & Caves: The Origins of the Anabaptist Faith" https://www.masthof.com/products/cathedrals-castles-caves-the-origins-of-the-anabaptist-faith?variant=13586151833643 I'm especially enjoying the b...

Re: Poll: Faith Traditions that Profess Christianity
I picked #13, kind of a blend of 6 through 11, although I don't understand all the nuances of the definitions. Placing each other in tight boxes can be detrimental to encouraging Christian fellowship, IMO. Jesus prays for our unity. (John 17:20-23) I also appreciate everyone in the other boxes, incl...

Re: Gaza's Irrational Hatred
i think it’s reasonable to consider, because Christians have not spread The Gospel well enough, convincingly enough, Hamas attacked Israel, and Israel did not turn the other cheek. t1 Your consideration of placing the blame for this war on Christians who have not spread the Gospel is sobering to me...

Re: Miller Farms fined
Maybe it's the camera lense but the crown of that hat seems suspiciously high. Is that common for Lancaster Amish. It does seem a bit foreshortened, but it looks like this one: Apparently in that region they teach people to avoid hochmut but hochhut is okay. OJ, is now speaking in tongues! Here is ...
