Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.
I was listening to a Bible podcast yesterday and one portion was Acts 26. I really liked Paul's testimony in front of King Agrippa, particularly in light of what John Hurt says about Paul teaching a false gospel that does not involve obedience to Christ. Take a look at the bold section. Note that he...

Re: Query re church/congregational politics
What are your thoughts regarding internal politics of fellowships and churches? Do you feel it is helpful? Not helpful? Somewhere in-between? Note: This does not reference secular political parties and we are not discussing that here. Rather this thread is about the leadership and decision-making a...

Re: Jacob Ammon & the "Martyrs Mirror"
Virtually none of the people who followed Reist remain Anabaptist or nonviolent to this day; almost all present day Mennonites (whether liberal or conservative) have their lineage from the Amman side of things. How, for example, did Lancaster Conference Mennonites derive from Amman's group? What la...

Re: Guess Who I Met
I was informed this morning that someone from the IRS was here to see me. So I hid my stash of cash receipts and went out to meet them, and behold Heirbyadoption and a rather competent underling representing one of our vendors. Forgiveness for a needless temporary panic is made easier by chocolates ...

Re: Eastern Mennonite’s Liberty Ridge Farm
So I will follow up. Even if the lawsuits were dropped doesn’t there have to be something on file and accessible via FOIA ? It just so bothers me that things are kept under wraps. Within the church business is one thing, but this event borders legally on being kidnapping sufficiently that something...

Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.
We should only follow what Christ said, which His 12 Apostles recorded. Could you list all the written works you consider a valid record of what Jesus said? What is the criteria by which you consider something a reliable record of what Christ said? Mike, In Matthew, Christ tells us that Paul never ...

Re: Social Security ....The monthly Check...yes or no
As photos above reflect, racial discrimination in the workplace was outrageous before 1964. I know, right. And look at the hideous clothing. I, quite frankly, do not see it. (The racial discrimination I mean. In fact, when I saw the photos, I was impressed that there weren't separate work areas bac...

Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.
It is interesting that even though Catholics and Protestants alike executed early Anabaptists over their religious beliefs and political loyalties (or lack thereof), they did not disagree with them over things so fundamental as the composition of the scriptures. The disagreement with Zwingli and the...
