What is your attitude towards someone who apostasies from your church? Betrayal? Sadness? Happy? Specifically an apostate who was born and raised in the setting. Im curious to know I would echo Ernie's question. Apostasy is a term typically used in the sense of leaving/rejecting a faith system, not...

Which reminds me of something. We've had a change in who manages the department that does the order for your company, and our purchases from you are up 17% even though overall business is up only by 7%. We have never seen increases like that in the bulk food department (other than during Covid), wh...

Note in these churches, headcovering is for MARRIED women only, for the most part. Reflects the distorted translation of the ESV of 1 Cor 11... I suppose you're aware that distortion goes back a bit further than the ESV translators. Tertullian wrote "On the Veiling of Virgins" a good whil...

I find myself pretty solidly pre-trib / pre-millennial and have trouble find a coherent understanding of Scripture and its various prophecies without some level of acceptance that the Jewish people will indeed have some distinct parts in end times events If you have these views about the "Jewi...

I wonder what Heir would think about my library. The most important book in it describes an idealism that I've certainly never attained to.

We no longer allow Family Life & Young Companion in our home, but as a fellow Bibliophile and history lover, I have long admired Luthy's collecting and efforts in general.

Am curious if there is a significant trend among Plain/conservative Anabaptists to refer to Easter as Resurrection Day? How is it in your congregations/conferences? I grew up hearing it both ways (though probably more as "Easter"), but was prompted to put a little more thought into it afte...

Did they use the term "Replacement Theology"? Some of them, yes. Unashamedly. I DO know it seems to have originated (at least among our folks) among some of our central Indiana congregations - not sure if maybe you can pinpoint the date or location of its rise among any particular Menno g...

One of the nice things about the forum reboot awhile back is that you can go back and like your own posts. :dance: Yea, our ability to rationalize whatever traditional practices we appreciate is quite something, isn't it? Also would be quite something to attend church with folks who have removed al...
