Dunno. I think everyone agrees isolation is not what we're looking for.ohio jones wrote:Are you joining another group, or embracing the lonely road?ragpicker wrote:Doesn't really matter, as we are out.

Embrace the lonely road.
Re: Anabaptist Disciples of Christ
An example would be the judgment scene in Matthew 25, where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats based on how they have treated "the least of these". Traditional anabaptist thinking affirms that how we treat "the least of these" affects where we will be in eternity. To Reformed people (and evangelicals, to a lesser degree), this is "works salvation". It's also "liberalism" to them because they hear liberals selectively quote Jesus' ethical teachings and then support immorality.Ms. Izzie wrote:Could explain in more detail exactly what would feel like worldliness and liberal theology to the reformed crowd?joshuabgood wrote:On the other hand if they embrace more traditional Anabaptist thinking, it may feel like worldliness and liberal theology to the reformed crowd.

Re: Anabaptist Disciples of Christ
Yes to this...another big sticking point is Penal Substitutionary Atonement. Rejecting that model, as the exclusive summation of "the gospel," feels like leaving the "old time religion" and also embracing a "works religion." Also, a Christocentric hermeneutic that subserviates portions of scripture to the life and witness of Jesus, feels like to devaluing the "holy scriptures" to them and embracing a liberal view of "God's Word."cmbl wrote:An example would be the judgment scene in Matthew 25, where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats based on how they have treated "the least of these".

Re: Anabaptist Disciples of Christ
Sorry about letting the word "you" take a hike in my original question.
I have been wondering for the last couple of years what it is about Anabaptists that spawns so many flavors of Anabaptism. This thread itself is yet another flavor. Just... why?

Is it significantly different from conservative Protestantism? I think any group that puts a lot of emphasis on coming to the right conclusion about the Text will end up splintering a lot.Ms. Izzie wrote:I have been wondering for the last couple of years what it is about Anabaptists that spawns so many flavors of Anabaptism.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"
