Re: Query: Submission to the weaker brother?

The other passage to reference is Romans 14. In this chapter Paul I would understand Paul to be saying that no one should eat pork around a Christian who doesn't eat pork due to OT law.

Re: The Pilgrim Church (aka: Kingdom Christians) Long List

Ok. Here is my beginning long list. Before I do a poll, I would like you to help me make this more complete. As you can see, on some points I list a couple different options based on differences in the Pilgrim Church. What should be reworded? What should be added? Some general church/faith tradition...

Re: Where do you fit?

I selected "I'm curious about Mennonites." as my answer. I do not consider myself a pacifist, perhaps more of the "Just War" doctrine type Welcome to MennoNet! Many of us on MennoNet do not consider ourselves "pacifist" or "Just War". Have you watched this de...

I like some of the early church concepts of the Godhead. They saw Jesus as proceeding from the Father, similar to the way sunbeams proceed from the sun, or the way a stream proceeds from a spring. For as long as there has been one, there has been the other. This view lines up the most closely with w...

Plain Anabaptists 28% Moderate Anabaptists 41% Theological Anabaptists 14% Sightseers 3% Unclassifiable 14% So at this point the board has a fairly str...
