I find it rough to "like" the Amish do NOT take good care of horses.. thats how I feel

The Amish are just lost humans like everyone else who needs Jesus to save them. Be careful never to idealize or idolize anyone. We're all just humans needing redeemed by Christ.

His oldest son who was already married during massacre is how im related to Jacob Hochstetler

I appriciate your video. A couple items. 1. I live in Missouri around the old order amish and are very close with them. They, as a whole do not believe in guaranteed salvation through Christ. As a matter of fact all i have talked to (which is a lot) will tell you guaranteed salvation through Christ is arrogant and dangerous as man made works has to be part of it. 2. They do not immerse for baptism, only sprinkle. They also only baptism to join Amish church not The Church Universal as they truly believe they are the chosen true church. 3. If Amish truly followed scripture the man made works would stop, salvation in Jesus Christ would be taught as well as the great commission carried out. My findings are that the Amish church is nothing more than a cult and we as Christians need to pray for them hard and be the light.

They stole WiFi from my parents for MONTHS until they finally found out. They also ran an illegal business out of their barn, using the “agricultural” government loophole (even though it was still illegal). I’m not saying ALL Amish are bad people, but a lot of them ARE hypocrites. It’s hilarious how they will run generators 24/7 because it isn’t technically “electricity.” Lol nobody is perfect, but some of them stockpile their money and aren’t the best people.

Im a " so called" man n ive been taking notes from Amish n mennonites not that i just turned 42.

Was there ever a time when they just used pins and no thread??

I understand their religious beliefs, but how is someone supposed to feel if they hit one of those buggies? They are almost impossible to see at night

Whished you looked at your own footage, it was terrible the green house had some good ideas but couldn't stand any more of your filming, your fired !!!!!

Salvation from hell is a FREE GIFT that one must simply receive through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. That is the truth. Do not ignore Jesus Christ and spend eternity in hell. The salvation of your soul is fully paid for with the sinless blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. He lived a sinless life in your place because you cannot. Then he went to the cross and shed his blood, died and was buried, and rose to life 3 days later to pay the full penalty for all your sins past, present, and future. Believe this in your heart and call upon Jesus Christ with your mouth and ask him to save your soul from hell RIGHT NOW! Not later or tomorrow but NOW! Tomorrow is not promised. Get saved NOW! It's that simple. Do not stumble by unbelief. It truly is by believing this gospel ( good news) message that one is made righteous, sinless, before God. Your soul is SEALED by the Holy Spirit the moment you believe the gospel and call on Jesus to save you. God's perfect righteousness is imputed to your soul, and your lifetime of sins are imputed to Jesus Christ. This is the truth!! A swap is instantly made and it's all by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Salvation is instantaneous and permanent! Go on youtube and watch a 7 minute video called: "How to know for certain your going to heaven- Dr Hank Linstrom" And pray along in the end and get saved right this moment!!!!

I don't believe in college or higher schools

Not sure it’s a pride thing. It’s a humility thing. That’s why Amish dolls have no face. Pride is a separate issue.

Great topic. New to learning more about the Mennonite/Amish/Hutterites. 1)Do any of these communities pay taxes, insurance or allow government pensions? 2)Are females allowed to control/ride a buggy without her husband present? 3)Can one become a Mennonite without being born into one of these particular communities? 4)Are pets allowed in the home? Thank you for your time!! 👍🏼🙏🏼

Can you explain why they don't believe in mechanization

Good video

There is believing in Jesus, there is believing Jesus, and there is “ worshipping “ Jesus. Two of these three are supported by scripture. The third refutes the second. It’s not all that hard . Just do what Jesus instructed his apostles to do . Pray to whom Jesus instructed his apostles to pray. Honor as God that which Jesus honored as God.

This so far sounds like how I was raised. A German/ American. 😊

Do they prefer cash over a check

Very informative thank you for posting

I love the Amish

According to my research the Swartzentruber name was the surname of two early bishops of the affiliation. "Trube" does not mean "refrain" as far as i can tell. When i checked the etymology i got this: "Americanized form of Swiss German Schwarzentruber: occupational name for a grower of black wine grapes, from Middle High German swarz 'black' + trūbe 'grape', or a habitational name for someone living at a house or tavern with a sign of dark grapes."

Balancing with the entirety of scripture, I don't see how the Amish interpret Romans 12 to eschew utilitarian and informational connection to the wider world. Use of something doesn't necessitate the abuse of or reliance upon something. Such a view denies the liberty we Christians have in Christ vis-a-vis Romans 14:14, "I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean." Within the obviously commanded black-and-whites of scripture, there is much grey area for the Holy Spirit to interact with and convict an individual Christian, as a member of the New Testament holy priesthood, whether those convictions be fixed over one's lifetime or variable based on time and/or circumstance. My main beef with the Amish stance is the same as that with Catholics from whence they separated. They're both legalistic, bordering on Pharisaism. There are two kinds of legalism: one deals with salvation and the other deals with sanctification after salvation. No question, that salvation is by the free gift of grace through the predestined gift of faith in Christ alone. Of course, some denominations even get this wrong, but most go astray with legalism regarding what constitutes or doesn't constitute living a life for Christ (i.e., sanctification) after salvation. The Amish go wrong precisely at the Ordnung, which is the same fallacy the Pharisees fell into with man-made rules and regulations of righteousness that added onto and often superseded those of God Himself. This is why many Christians sometimes consider the Amish as cult-adjacent, and I can't wholeheartedly disagree with that assessment. As Christians, we must rely on the Holy Spirit to strike that fine balance between legalism and latitudinarianism, between legalism and Biblical church discipline, between grace in the grey and discernment in the dire.

Jacob was my 7x G Grandfather. Love history and ancestry. A couple of thoughts: firstly, we can't apply standards of today to the world back then. Secondly, we can't pretend to know what someone hundreds of years ago was thinking. History is what it is. We can all strive to make the world today the best it can be, but none of us would even exist without the past occurring as it had.

Great job

Are black women able to join the menn's??

There is no law that says Americans are suppose to have an SSN. That is blatantly false.

So the Amish don’t have a SS number u they work outside of their community? How do they pay their taxes if they don’t have a SA number? Don’t u have to have a SS number to pay their taxes? I’m a little confused

The bird flu is a outbreak of pcr testing. A BS attack on food industry

Everything you have said actually qualifies them as a cult. One of the main differences of a cult is separation and seeking a following of a few families rather than the mass general following religions seek. Also seeing the world as corrupt and your own community as safer etc. Its absolutely a cult considering the accepted definition of a cult. My personal definition of a cult is if the entire world lived like this would it be scary? In my observation they have not at all held onto core values. They focus more on farming and work and some say they dont even understand their prayer books anymore. Some dont even go to sunday mass often. Like every other sunday ..also there is LOTS of drama and in fighting there are only 500k amish in the usa .. but literally THOUSANDS of communities because they keep fighting and everytime there is a fight .. one group split off. I respect their right to live as they please. But in my very flawed opinion it doesnt seem like a religious lifestyle any longer.

Thank you for the videos! My family came over on the Friendship in 1724. Landed in Philadelphia and settled in East Hempfield Lancaster. A few weeks ago my wife and I (same background) took a river cruise from Amsterdam (the Friendship left from Rotterdam) up the Rhine to Basel. We then spent a day in Zurich.

Just one picture of the pins tho in all that video

They do use automobiles. I literally just came from an Amish store where they drove up in cars

salvation isnt guaranteed though but it has to come form God correct, the way it was worded in the video it makes it sound like the argument is faith guarantees salvation but I think the question we all wonder is how they get it if its not through faith or belief in God as the savior

Im looking for the answer of how they are saved if it not through Jesus, all salvation comes through Jesus, correct?

How often do they shower? Do they bury their money ? Are there any black Amish?

Is it illegal to wear seatbelts in buggies then?

There are some that dont allow the people to hold Bible Study and will shun them for it! So what are their elders trying to hide??😠 There was a documentary on this by some from a certain order and these people had to leave or chose to leave. And no songs of praise? When God wishes according to the Psalms to praise Him in song with cymbals, harp, songs and dance? To me, it is the elders that are exercising control of their congregation by hiding certain things authorized by God in the Bible for His people to do. And when people start reading and studying the Bible on their own and finding these things the elders have been keeping from them, trouble is stirred up. Thankfully, there are newer offshoots that have realized this and left. I believe Bible studies are crucial to a Christ bound religion, whether lead by a leader or those just wanting to get together in someone's home and expand and delve into the Word. "WHERE 2 OR MORE ARE GATHERED". I have been to both, Pastor lead in church and just interested people meeting in homes with prayer, songs and discussion of a certain passage. A fellowship group. This is what God wants. Even the disciples met together as followers of Christ.

I was shopping in a large Amish grocery store when I thought, "Wait, how is it light in here?" That's when I noticed a sheet metal lined shaft in the ceiling in which the diffusing panel had been removed. It was open to the roof, covered by a thick, tough sheet of plexiglass. When covered by a diffusing panel, it looked like your typical fluorescent light set up. There were a number of these light shoots throughout the store. Absolutely brilliant!

If your afraid , slow down. Leave people alone . They have real criminals they should be focusing on. It's called the first amendment , and it's religious liberty . If people don't like it they can leave.

Nope I'm not buying a new washer or dryer I'll go to the laundry. Mat wash clothes and hang them at home 2-3000 dollars for a washer is insane.

I respect their Bibleical culture my question Did they welcome others Christian those who want to join Amish community!

It breaks my heart what is happening to the Amish.

This should be coming from the horse's mouth not a second hand source.

There are two kinds of cults, unbiblical Christology and controlling leadership, the Amish have the characteristics of the latter type, and the Jehovah's Witness have both. There are some striking similarities between the Amish and JWs, as they both live in insular communities where people will be excommunicated for not blindly following their leaders. To believe that salvation isn't guaranteed is not biblical, and more like Islam than Christianity.

I think that to many folks in this country a quick to past judgement on other people. I visiting the Amish family’s that live in my area. Their bake goods are excellent.

Your video was very helpful. Thank you.

My 8x grandfather through Barbara and Christian Stutzmman

It’s not In Milford. It’s a few miles outside owensville. You sure don’t sound like your from Appalachia Ohio so you must be to the north or in Hamilton county. It’s in stonelick township.

I guess they won't be going to court and complaing about their First Amendment rights being violated, because that would be trusting and man-made things as well.

I live between Timmins Ontario And north bay in the bush And I Every single day Horse horses and buggies I work with them very closely For My entire life That getting to leave Is forbidden Any of the things that To go to light drink and party They are absolutely not allowedIt goes completely against the religion Dateline by the bible At the very most Mennonites Will keep some light wine for special occasions In which Jesus Would be celebrated like Christmas Blood of Christ Not to get drunk
