Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

It's true though, Anabaptists pride themselves in simple reading, application and obedience to the Gospel. They reject deeper teachings that cannot be "proven" perhaps with more spirituality in understanding or mystery and so the typical response is rejection of it. I’m sorry but the noti...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

Well, we reject writing outside of the Bible as being inspired scripture. What would you suggest we add to scripture, what writings? What books? So you reject the Holy Spirit stopped speaking? You do realize there were prophets in the new Church of the New covenant. Do you happen to know what all t...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

Because like other Protestants, you assume wrongly by misunderstanding or blaming Constantine for this & that when things were from those taught by Apostles. A wise person will try to understand things they clearly don't. Best to stick with milk. I’ve been contemplating Constantine lately, he w...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

People need to quit treating other Christians outside of their own denominations like enemies. I don't do that, and in fact maintain cordial relations with other Catholics - indeed, a Catholic person and myself will be organising an ecumenical summit (as much as one is possible) between Mennonites ...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

Our dear Orthodox friend tried to teach here and received the same ill treatment so it is not unique to Max. I wonder why it wasn't well accepted for your Orthodox friend to try to teach EO teachings on a Mennonite forum... :roll: Teach=Proselytize. Enough said. Because like other Protestants, you ...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

I see the mob mentality against him. i trust admin+mods with this on forum. ditching simple questions, changing the subject, causes unease, invites questions. i don’t think anyone here is a fan of mob mentality, Robert has spoken against it many times (esp wrt politics). i realize you’ve been quest...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

I don't even know why it was SO important to grill Max about being PC. It never made sense to me. Our friends that are EO look more Amish than many Amish. The reason we asked questions was because his website had pictures of German Baptists, but claimed they were Plain Catholics. So I can imagine t...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

i’m more with you about not being so put off by Max’s claims to plainness, but his refusal to answer direct questions, for instance, from the start, he’s found it important to say he was invited to the forum to represent Catholicism, he’s been asked several times over the years, “by whom?” no respo...
