Re: The Return of Christ

If you don’t believe Jesus is returning, please don’t dominate this thread. Feel free to post what you believe, but I just hope this thread doesn’t devolve into a discussion of wheather or not Jesus is coming back. I’d like this discussion to be based on the assumption that Jesus will return. What ...

Re: Introductions

Hi, I believe on Jesus Christ, but am not a part of any denomination. I am married. I like Christian hymns/music and Christian books (non-fiction). I'm generally quiet and shy, but can be very talkative once I get to know someone and if a subject I'm interesting in is being discussed. I'm here beca...

Re: I think it is funny

Amex doesnt have foreign transaction fees so I would use that one first. That depends on the specific card; some Amex cards do have foreign transaction fees, and many non-Amex cards do not. Even without the fee, there can be an exchange rate difference between networks; MasterCard is often slightly...

Re: Introductions

A few thoughts I've latched on to along the way that would make the MN experience a better one for all: 1) We need to leave our pride at the door - we're likely wrong more than we think we are. 2) Diversity is the spice of life. MN would be thoroughly boring if we all agreed. 3) Come understanding ...

Re: I think it is funny

Seems strange having to have a visa go into Canada. We didn't when we visited all those years ago. I find that MasterCard works just as well. Some places even take American Express! Actually a passport is all that's needed for US citizens, unless you're planning to stay more than half a year or goi...

Re: I think it is funny

typical American - doesn't know Canadian money when he sees it - but you are better than some who think it is just funny money. It's been more than 30 years since I was in Canada, and even then I didn't see any money. I just saw the queens likeness is all. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my rema...

Re: Introductions

So WHO determines which are "unscriptural beliefs", "ungodly perspectives", and "non-Christ-like behavior"? My advice is to anyone who notices these things and finds themselves becoming cynical or discouraged. Which includes me, I guess, at least at times. So, accordin...

Re: Introductions

Welcome everybody to Mennonet! If you haven't discovered yet, Mennonet is a place where you will find some of the best representations of Christianity as well as some of the worst. So here is a bit of advice... Life is too short to spend it reacting to the things we don't like. Please don't allow t...
