It’s nice to meet a fellow Mennonite on this chat. Would you like to chat on What’s App?

God in the old testament used pagan rulers, like the ruler of Persia and Babylonian for His own purposes. Amos witness to the rulers of Israel, telling them to “act justly love, mercy”. You may be confusing the kingdom of God with Luthers Two Spheres theory. Luther said that the secular world...

I missed your comment in a year ago. I just joined this chat. What he has accomplished is dismantling the consumer financial protection board, which saved Americans tens of billions of dollars from improper financial transactionsn. He’s also dismantled the NIH, which will make it difficult for...

Thank you for your words on this topic. I agree we need to work on ourselves at all time in our Christian life. Jesus, however, opposed the Pharisees and Sadducees, two political parties in Israel of his day. In my mind, since Jesus opposed political parties with the wrong ideas, we need to...

Thank you for your comments. They are welcome. In Matthew 25 Jesus explains what it means to live in the kingdom of God. He tells us to feed the hungry give drink to the thirsty welcome the Stranger, give clothes to those who need clothes, care for the sick and visit the prisoners. As...

I agree. I too pray for President Trump‘s conversion, and that he will act in a manner consistent with the kingdom of God. I hope all my brothers and sisters have a blessed Sunday

please see my earlier quotes for extensive biblical references.

Mennonites take hell seriously. you should care about what Christian pacifist believe because that’s the biblical stance on war. I found Jesus ways of non-violence how to except it first because of my military background. After years of Bible study, I believe Jesus is serious me tells us to...

Mr. Trump‘s goal is to cut as many federal programs and agencies as possible. The reason he wants to do this is he wants to give huge tax breaks to the very wealthy. Personally, I don’t believe President Trump is a Christian. I saw an interview he did with a news person. The news person was...

Mennonites are neither of those. We trace our beginnings to the radical reformation. At that time we were mocked as “Anabaptist”. The term means “rebaptiser”. The Lutherans, Catholics and Reformed churches all persecuted us because we did not practice infant baptism.

We can not ignore the many verses telling Christians to be peacemakers. Christians do not depend upon the army to defend them. We depend on God. Paul says this in second Corinthians 10, three and four: “for though we live in the world, we do not wage war is the world does. The weapons we fight...
