Re: Poll: Modes of Baptism
I have been to one Orthodox baptism and it was an infant. Fully submerged 3x in the name of the Father, Son, & Hy Spirit. It was quite a Holy experience for the baby who then was also anointed with oil and prayed over to receive the Holy Spirit (Chrismation). Due to the fact I have read early C...

Re: Trans student killed in school
Unless I misread the news coverage. The trans kid was ASSAULTED in the bathroom and subsequently died from their injuries later. So yes, the murderous act or killing happened in the bathroom even if the death didn't happen until later. Of course if it turns out that the death was unrelated to the a...

Feel free to actually correct anything I just wrote if you think any of it is inaccurate. "the trans kid who was killed in the bathroom"? Unless I misread the news coverage. The trans kid was ASSAULTED in the bathroom and subsequently died from their injuries later. So yes, the murderous ...

Re: Can anything good come out of the internet?
For that matter, will anything good come out of the internet? The easy accessibility to Bibles online has been a good result I believe. But what of all the other internet bits? It is a necessary evil, in my opinion. I also think people were happier before we were all connected. Now there is (almost...

Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies
Those of you who go back to the MennoDiscuss days will doubtless remember our dear sister Anabaptistenigma - one of the brightest minds and sincerest hearts to grace MD back in the day. Sadly, we have just learned that she has been diagnosed with stage-4 bile duct cancer metastasized around the liv...

Re: Speaking Truth in Posts
How we post is how we speak. Seeking truth, I believe, about anything has some direction in the scriptures on just how we go about it. Here are a few verses that I think reminds us of just how well we are controlling our post language. I do need to be reminded of them because of the battle I have w...

Re: Why did you come?
About half of seeker disaster stories I know of - there is literally nothing they could have done to fix things (other than to ignore or go along with blatant open sin). This is part of the challenge. If less conservative groups let more things go a seeker can fit in easier but they look around wit...

Re: Three Questions For You
That's also possible. I'm not sure I can tell from the text exactly what the biggest problem was with his offering. It may not have been the nature of the offering but rather the attitude in which he brought it. He seems to have been very quickly offended by the rejection. Gen 4:3 And it was so af...

Re: Three Questions For You
There must have been instructions for sacrifice given at some point prior, and Cain chose to do it his way rather than God's way. It was Cain's response to the non-acceptance of his sacrifice that made things go from bad to worse. We still have problems today accepting correction. I don’t know for ...
