Re: Lessons for the Church from the DC Riots

True evangelical faith is of such a nature it cannot lie dormant, but spreads itself out in all kinds of righteousness and fruits of love;
it dies to flesh and blood;
it destroys all lusts and forbidden desires;
it seeks, serves and fears God in its inmost soul (3);
it clothes the naked;
it feeds th...

Lessons for the Church from the DC Riots

What are lessons we can learn from the riots in DC on January 6. So far our discussions are about what happened, who was right, who was wrong. Historically we as Anabaptists know politics is no place for the church. With the current president many Anabaptists have been getting more and more involved...

Re: Kourtney Aumen and Ethan Mast

I am a pro spanking parent and would agree with Mr Zehr methods of discipline. However I feel another book that’s done a lot of damage in the area of child training is Micheal Pearl’s To Train a Child. Putting that book into the hands of dysfunctional parents is a recipe for abuse. I think he was we...

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/U.S._abortion_rates%2C_1973-2017%2C_Guttmacher_Institute.png Looks like we’ve spent the last 45 or so years just bending the curve back to the starting point. Which isn’t even true in terms of total numbers. This is only numbers per 1,000. Not sur...

Re: Abortion and Presidents

Life begins when the sperm attaches itself to the egg. Not when the cell nuclei join? That's when two separate haploid organisms become one diploid organism. Both haploid organisms were alive and human also, but that's when one could logically say there is a new organism. It would seem to me that l...

Re: Abortion and Presidents

Some people feel that a fetus is only part of a women’s body..... Part of a Woman’s Body? So, if an unborn baby is just part of the woman’s body, then, when a woman delivers her baby, is she missing part of her body—a part with DNA unique to it?

Re: Abortion and Presidents

Science calls a fetus viable at 24 weeks. At 24 weeks a fetus has his fingers and toes. His heart is beating, he can feel pain. He is almost old enough to survive if he is born prematurely and Science calls him just a blob of tissue. Psalm 139 talks about God knowing us before we were formed in the ...
