Re: Romans 1

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261009025602.htm Reminds me somewhat of Romans 1:18-25 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because ...

Re: Worldliness

All kidding aside, you cannot possibly think the early church advocated Sola Scriptura? In the sense that the things they believed are found in the scriptures, yes. If someone had introduced the Mariam doctrines or a dedicated class of unmarried priests, I think they wouldn't have accepted it. Here...

Re: God and War

If Rev. 19:11-21 is being referred to, I am not sure that any striking or slaying is said to be done other than by He who is called "The Word of God". At that point judgement has been given into His All-sufficient Hand. Revelation 2:26–27 “He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to th...

Re: God and War

I have no idea how things will be in the next life, but my point is, if I am asked in this life to have my mind and heart renewed and transformed to be like the mind of Christ, and I enter the next world in the same frame of mind that I am in now, I expect that Christ will understand my hesitancy t...

Re: God and War

If in the next life I get asked to help conquer the enemies of God in war, if I still think like I do now, I will ask if there is a possibility of conscientious objector status and whether I can do something like serve at the wedding banquet instead. I'm not even sure how to interpret that? That so...

Re: Stereotyping and Overgeneralizing Holdemam Anabaptists

OK. Perhaps a good place to start, if you want to discuss such a thing, would be for you to discuss the problem of Stereotyping and Overgeneralizing Holdemam Anabaptists, which has been a popular pastime on this forum for quite some time. A place to discuss this. Let's start with the spelling.... B...

Re: Biblical Mennonite Alliance and credential removal of past abusers

The only thing that would satisfy them is the disappearance of the conservative Anabaptist movement. There is clearly an ax to grind here. I Timothy has been on the record before saying exactly that, which is why I find his motivations suspect. Would you please post a link to the statements of I Ti...

Re: Preachers and AI

It's not just about whether you use AI or Google or Wikipedia or an encyclopedia or whatever. It's about how engaged your mind is, whether you are educating yourself or looking for an easy out. You can use AI to get smarter or dumber, and which you choose is up to you. Did you naturally choose to u...
