History of the Garden City Confession of Faith

I recently listened to this sermon on the Pilgrim Ministry site about the Garden City Confession. The sermon was given at a Pilgrim church in 2019. https://www.pilgrimministry.org/sermons/history-of-the-garden-city-confession-of-faith It was interesting to hear their perspective on it. I have seen h...

Re: Is Donald Trump the Antichrist?

People who think they can identify any specific Antichrist in 21st Century America should be given exactly as much credence as those who think they can predict the exact date of the rapture or second coming. Namely...zero. What a surprise, Ken and I actually agree on something. I remember as a very...

Re: Is Donald Trump the Antichrist?

How does he come up with 15 Bible verses about the Antichrist when the Antichrist is only mentioned 4 times in the entire Bible and solely in the 1st and 2nd epistles of John? There is a motif found through various books of Scripture, especially prophecy, of a powerful opponent of God (a human rule...

Re: Is Donald Trump the Antichrist?

Oh the biblical ignorance of Mennonet these days... :shock: :? My point in posting this isn't really about whether this is the correct interpretation of Scripture or whether Trump actually is the Antichrist, but about the aspects of Trump's character that make the arguments in the videos above poss...

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist?

https://youtu.be/SQN7y5I9poc?si=ZZpjGSTlulaa6kvp This video offers 45 reasons that Donald Trump is the Antichrist. The argument was stronger than I expected it to be at first. You don't often find fundamentalist conservative, Biblical literalist arguments against Trump these days, so this is intere...

Re: Voting in elections, grocery store fires, plain Catholics... and a poll!

as it should be Ketchup belongs on fries, but I've taken a liking to some sauce that has a little nip to it for fries. Unfortunately, the rumors that parts of Western Europe eat mayonnaise with their french fries is true. Mayonnaise is the best thing to have with fries. Either that or just the salt...

Re: If you were Israel's Prime Minister, how would you respond?

To return to the question, what would you do if you were Israel's prime minister? I think the answer is indicated in Netanyahu's statement, "Hamas is ISIS". Hamas has chosen to act like ISIS, and so Israel will treat Hamas the way the US and Iraqi allies treated ISIS. How will they identif...

Re: Major attack on Israel by Hamas

Israel is absolutely open to criticism, particularly Netanyahu and his government. Israel will need to have a tough internal reckoning over the failures here, and according to that editorial, it has already begun. The failure to prevent the attacks lies squarely on Netanyahu. I don't normally agree ...

Re: Major attack on Israel by Hamas

Hamas's goal - and Iran's - is probably to torch the diplomacy between the Israelis and the Saudis, which has the potential to finally have Saudi Arabia recognize Israel as a nation and change the geopolitics of the Middle East - and they symbolically chose the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War to d...

Re: At what point does one become antisemitic

In my opinion, if you're opposed to Zionism, be careful who you quote and align yourself with intellectually, because anti-Semites often cloak their views under the more "respectable" anti-Zionism. For example, instead of complaining about Jewish money controlling the world, as they used t...
