Preach it Bro !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axSJ0qbb6ec I have tried to find out what happened to this thread but am not getting replies so I will try again as although this is not an Anabaptist preacher, I believe his message is what many Anabaptists would say 'amen' to even if it is under their breath. I had ...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
I'm going to put my faith and trust in Jesus and what He did to save me from my sins. To trust in some man's interpretation of the scriptures that adds to what salvation requires gets us into all kinds of determinations of who is saved and who isn't. I will settle for what Paul says is 'of first im...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
Does not make sense to me. The Book also says to love your enemies, not just love your neighbors. How does it make sense that murdering someone “in heart” puts one in danger of hell fire, name calling, yet literally murdering someone, is okay? “What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood ...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
The two greatest commandments, love God, love neighbor. I don’t see how killing my neighbor is completely compatible with loving my neighbor. Seems like this would rank pretty high in “main things”. There is also the consideration to who is our neighbour according to Jesus. Jesus had a question put...

Re: Photography Sinful ?
Yes and many old, especially Protestant churches, that have beautiful stained glass windows. Our downtown, Catholic, United, Presbyterian, Anglican and First Baptist church all have stained glass window paintings and I have always enjoyed these in my visits. As long as we are worshipping the God in...

Re: Photography Sinful ?
My understanding of a “graven image” is a representation of a god which is worshipped. That's nice that that's your understanding. A lot of plain Anabaptists prefer to stick to simple readings of the text. The danger of simple readings is we can be simply wrong. I believe there are many 'conviction...

We just interpret the text simply when it says “make no graven images”. Exceptions abound for “business use”, which I personally find questionable. Ultimately, plain groups used to be strong in their convictions against the camera and the photograph - nowadays it is simply most Amish and some other...
