[ You can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I was told that at Shippensburg they would allow you to borrow money to buy a farm, but when you sold it or died, the proceeds would go to the church, not your family. That would be their way of having it all come out even in the end, I guess. So if a ...

The term Trinty was not an invention of Nicea. Tertullian used it as well as the terms "substance" and "economy." I have found helpful the lecture by D. Bercot. "What The Early Christians Believed About the Trinity." It is available at: https://www.scrollpublishing.com/...

Since this thread is in the Anabaptist theology and practice forum, I thought I would offer an early Anabaptist writing on the Trinty. Below is a translation of Hymn 81 from the Ausbund, which was written by Hans Betz, one of the prisoners in Passau Prison in the 1530s. The translation is by Robert ...

This tract on divorce is sometimes attributed to Michael Sattler. It was part of a sammelband, a collection of Swiss-Brethren pamphlets that included the earliest known printing of the Schleitlheim Brotherly Articles. This translation was done by J.C.
