Are you a Christian?
Why the vain imagination about any label of government?
You have a wife and what - around 12 children. Prison newsletter ministry and this is what you find value in worth posting about?

It is under the "Politics" forum category many Christians on this forum contribute a great deal of time to and try not to lash out at someone for doing so or call their Christianity into question because they post a piece of national news- if one is not interested in a topic they generally avoid it but politics is discussed a great deal on this forum as much as other topics.-NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:23 pm Are you a Christian?

It really is not a "vain imagination" as much as an observation as how the double standard has been applied.

Might be valuable for those do to then stop identifying as an Anabaptist- as they wouldn’t do suchValerie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:33 pmIt is under the "Politics" forum category many Christians on this forum contribute a great deal of time to and try not to lash out at someone for doing so or call their Christianity into question because they post a piece of national news- if one is not interested in a topic they generally avoid it but politics is discussed a great deal on this forum as much as other topics.-NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:23 pm Are you a Christian?

That would eliminate most of the posters here that do identify as such- they may see it differently as it is a discussion forum. When we are around Amish, which consider themselves Anabaptist, at times they stay more on top of current events politically then I do!NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:36 pmMight be valuable for those do to then stop identifying as an Anabaptist- as they wouldn’t do suchValerie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:33 pmIt is under the "Politics" forum category many Christians on this forum contribute a great deal of time to and try not to lash out at someone for doing so or call their Christianity into question because they post a piece of national news- if one is not interested in a topic they generally avoid it but politics is discussed a great deal on this forum as much as other topics.-NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:23 pm Are you a Christian?

I don't think there is a general expectation or principle in Anabaptism that one should remain ignorant of and never talk about various political happenings, although a specific congregation or fellowship might teach against specific things (for example, my church is pretty opposed to watching TV news or even watching news clips on your phone).NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:36 pmMight be valuable for those do to then stop identifying as an Anabaptist- as they wouldn’t do suchValerie wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:33 pmIt is under the "Politics" forum category many Christians on this forum contribute a great deal of time to and try not to lash out at someone for doing so or call their Christianity into question because they post a piece of national news- if one is not interested in a topic they generally avoid it but politics is discussed a great deal on this forum as much as other topics.-
However, I don't think the New Testament teaches that we must keep ourselves in a shroud of ignorance about everything that is going on, and I think voices from a variety of viewpoints within conservative Anabaptism is valuable.
Some people here on MennoNet don't care for political discussion - so they block the "Politics" subforum. I appreciate the effort other posters have taken to make sure political discussion gets confined to Politics. Likewise, news in general goes under "Current Events", so someone who prefers to remain aloof about current happenings can avoid that subforum as well.

Re: Not just cocaine: Secret Service reveals another banned substance was found in Biden's White House
Thanks for your concern. As I Christian who lives in the United States, I can not help but make certain observations about the society we live in. I don't generally post about my family and my work on this public forum. And I can assure you that politics consumes a very small minority of my time and attention. I've quit listening to the radio and almost all political podcasts. However I still read online news and sometimes comment on the news here. If you find this to be contrary to a Christian identity, I'm sorry. I would enjoy meeting you in real life to discuss the things that really matter to me.NedFlanders wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 5:23 pm Are you a Christian?
