Re: Today ...

Resting up a bit this morning then it is off to town. Yesterday I put up "deer netting" over the berry bushes. I took some rebar and set it up similar to fence posts around the patch. I then took some pvc piping and slipped it over the rebar to protect the netting. Then put the netting ove...

Re: The Beatitudes query

In my experience, the biggest difference between the Anabaptist tradition and Baptist/Evangelical is the focus on the Sermon on the Mount. Anabaptists take it as written, prescriptive for followers of Jesus. Baptist/Evangelical have various means of downplaying it. The beatitudes, however, are desc...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

Before the pandemic we could also choose to receive the Precious blood after the Host. Now many parishes no longer offer the shared chalice to the congregants because of contagion. I hope this makes sense. Max, does this mean the congregants no longer receive the wine/juice any longer, or can they ...

Re: Agreement

Jesus didn't go anywhere private to call out the Pharisees for their error. And I would highly advise you to stop calling people "angry" just because they call you out for inconsistencies or because they point out the wrongdoing of the RCC. Ken S, Jesus' dealings with the religious leader...

Re: Agreement

Regarding angry people, I am discussing Scripture with Sudsy. You can advise all you like but the discussion is between Sudsy and I in that post . He is not calling me out nor is he pointing out wrong-doing by any church. We are speaking into the Scriptural teachings on interpersonal behaviors betw...

Re: Church good at evangelization

Reading through the thread, I noticed the discussion about evangelisation on the job but there is a concern whether the employer feels it is inappropriate on “company time”. I wonder: when a Christian sets the example of a diligent work ethic as well as caring for his fellow workers, that can be con...

Re: Why aren't Mennonites Constantinian?

Mennonites believe in the gospel that Jesus preach - the gospel of the Kingdom of God. They aren’t lost in a salvation or a social justice gospel. Being citizens of the heavenly country Mennonites don’t join in an unequal yoke with kingdoms of this world and so have a drastically different view tha...
