Re: The Tendency to Turn All Sorts of Things into Ethical Matters

I think you are perhaps talking more about morals than ethics. Although those terms often get used interchangeably. I think of morals as guiding principals for the individual, often with a religious basis. Don’t drink or curse, honor your father, wear a head covering or modest dress. Etc. etc. are ...

Re: The Tendency to Turn All Sorts of Things into Ethical Matters

Maybe our understanding of wisdom differs? There are different kinds of wisdom and this is the definition I reference to understand true wisdom: 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, an...

Re: Interested in learning about Holdemans

Why? What changed? Holdemans and basically the rest of the plain world tend to be at enmity with one another. Most plain organisations that include a variety of groups exclude Holdemans. On the other hand, worldly organisations that expressly serve plain people do usually allow us to participate. I...

Re: Amish Covid | Full Measure

I'm always amazed at how people can take a wisdom issue, and turn it into an ethical issue. Every time someone turns a wisdom issue into an ethical issue, Christians end up dividing/parting ways/schismatizing, while the world watches on. Someone pictures a foster child from a broken home observing ...

Re: Amish Covid | Full Measure

Trusting God over pharmekia! I trust God, have not gotten vaccinated, and have a grudging respect for Covid. The Amish-Mennonite in the video pits two theories against each other (as is often done with Covid in forceful debates) rather than considering a wide range of options that do not include lo...

Re: Making room for the Kingdom of God

I think if people watched this video below that it would help explain why supporting unethical vaccines is following the system of the world: I wrote on this issue to every member of the UCP (conservative) caucus and received a reply from our Canmore representative to the effect that our barring fro...

My co-worker jumps out and says, "How does a Christian gain more followers?..."

Then he says, "They drive the speed limit!"

Re: Financial debt and how it relates to our current Anabaptist culture

His story is an eye opener. I think he grew up Plymout...
