Re: The CAM scandal links and assorted other topics thread
The leadership failure here was in not recognizing that sexual deviancy is an addictive behavior - much like drug abuse or alcoholism. Yes, they didn't realize they were dealing with a pedophile. There are some failures like this one that an organization cannot afford to make. We've been going arou...

Re: Anabaptist Vision/Kingdom Gospel/American Nationalism/Racism
I hope this doesn’t sound too critical, but I feel this conflated conservative Anabaptism with conservative evangelicalism and just assumed the two are the same thing. And simultaneously it failed to offer any critique of the encroaching influence of liberalism on Anabaptism. America is basically a...

Re: Anabaptist Vision/Kingdom Gospel/American Nationalism/Racism
I really liked this Joshua. One thing that sounded strange was that I struggle to relate American Nationalism with Conservative Anabaptism - I realize you were being told this was Conservative Anabaptism, but once any group leaves the teaching of being part of the kingdom of God and sides with the s...

Re: De-escalation Keeps Protesters And Police Safer
I see no where in scripture where Jesus endorses or encourages any type of protesting, in fact I believe protesting is contrary to His teaching and example of not resisting evil but rather returning acts of love. So I expect for followers of Christ to not become involved in supporting protests, and ...

Re: I think it is funny
Someone asked how I am coping with the social distancing? Are you kidding? I was the unpopular skinny "whitee" "toothpick" kid in public school for 13 years, asking how I am coping with social distancing after 13 plus years of training is like asking a marathon runner if he is ok...

Re: George Floyd
I agree, I just think we need to be careful to apply Christs teaching of being non-resistant which I believe includes not being reactionary, as I believe some of these things fuel the fire of racism and violence. If we active in loving all men that speaks louder in my opinion and experience and how...

Re: George Floyd
Wade, maybe innocent black men is being 'prioritized' because there is a very low chance this would have happened to an innocent white man. It happens far too often these days. Those of us who are white can't begin to comprehend what it is like for black people - we live with white privilege so whi...

Re: Coronavirus Outbreak
I hope that Italian Dr. is right...however, with all the doctors opining out there, I'm at a point these days where I'm looking to broad peer-reviewed studies and clinical testing from reputable sources for my information. I really don't think that looking at peer reviewed studies will help a probl...

Re: George Floyd
This was written on a post on Instagram. Just changing the emphasis makes all the difference. You keep saying, "It's horrible that an innocent black man was killed but destroying property has to stop. Try saying, "It's horrible that property is being destroyed, but killing innocent black ...
