      The Amish and Mennonites are both relatively the same. They constantly bash you over the head about how you should be in the world and not of the world and how any violence should be met by turning the other cheek. Just weaklings hiding behind scripture to justify their cowardice and unwillingness to defend the faith.

    • @MAMoreno
      @MAMoreno 2 года назад +17

      Just to save you some time: the premillennial position has to do with an interpretation of Revelation 20.1-10. If you believe that the thousand years described in that passage is a literal period that will occur once Jesus bodily returns in our future, then you hold to the premillennial position. (Jesus arrives "before" the millennium begins, hence the prefix pre-.)
      The competing interpretations are the postmillennial and amillennial positions. If you take a postmillennial approach, you'll understand the thousand years to refer to a period of progress brought about by the influence of Christianity on the world, and you will expect Jesus to arrive near the end of that utopian period. If you take an amillennial approach, then you take the thousand years to be a figurative representation of the current church age.

    Sounds similar to the principles that the LDS church leaders wanted to establish in the mid-1800s in southeast Nevada. They desired that men and women who settled these communities to dress plainly, in simple clothing; live communally with much of their property shared and used by all; and to eat together in a communal building. It didn't work out well, though. Those communities pretty much fell apart. There's an excellent book called, The Muddy River, about the early LDS settlements and their trials and tribulations in the miserably hot desert, and when forced to leave by the government of Nevada. I'm not LDS myself, but find the settlement of the state of Utah interesting.

    The Mennonite Church is a mainline church today (as mainline as Presybyterians are). Most Mennonites are very modern and live like anyone else. Some confuse Mennonites with Old Mennonites who are similar to the Amish (who are also Mennonite). Those are offshoots of the Mennonite Church who broke away centuries ago. I am Mennonite myself - the everyday mainline kind. I'd say the only similarity between mainline Mennonites and Old Mennonites or Amish is pacifism and adult baptism. Nothing else can be compared at all.

    How can Protestants, who claim to follow Scripture, be so unscriptural? It is an extraordinary paradox. Didn't Our Lord Himself tell us not to be slavish followers of any particular person, Menno Simons or anyone else (there is quite a list, beginning with the original Reformer himself), the meaning of "Call no man father"? Didn't St Paul amplify this is his Letter to the church at Corinth when he talked about this person sowing, that person watering, but God Himself being the one who makes the plants grow? Talk about "straining at gnats and swallowing camels"!

    Jesus and His apostles tell us how to be saved by providing specific commandments for salvation in the New Testament Scriptures. They are presented here with example Scripture references. Once we become Christians by obeying Jesus’ commandments for salvation below, we should practice our faith by doing good works. Though good works alone do not save, we practice them BECAUSE we are Christians. “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26 KJV).
    --HEAR THE GOSPEL (First Corinthians 15:1-4)

    --BELIEVE THE GOSPEL (John 3:16)
    --REPENT OF YOUR SINS, FORMER RELIGIOUS WAYS, BELIEFS, AND PRACTICES (Acts 3:19)
    --CONFESS BEFORE MANKIND THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD (Matthew 10:32-33)
    --BE BAPTIZED FOR REMISSION OF SINS (Acts 2:38; Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16; Acts 22:16; Galatians 3:27; First Peter 3:21). Scriptural baptism by total-body immersion in water, from the Greek “baptizo,” meaning to submerge or immerse, emulates Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:3-5). False teachers claim that we can be saved without baptism. The Scriptures here teach that baptism is absolutely required for remission of sins and hence salvation. Don’t be obtuse. READ THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF.
    --LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE BY OBEYING AND SERVING CHRIST (Matthew 25:31-46; Revelation 2:10).
    The Thief on the Cross. Many people claim that we can be saved like the thief on the cross, saved by faith alone in Jesus without being baptized by immersion in water, just as the thief had faith but most likely had not been baptized. The difference is that while Jesus was on earth, He had the power to forgive sins (Matthew 9:1-8) as well as to forgive and save the thief on the cross (Luke 23:43). All that was before the New Covenant was established. Since we are not thieves on crosses today and with the New Covenant now in effect, we are subject to all of Jesus’ commandments and cannot be saved in the same manner as the thief. Thus, we must be baptized by full immersion in water for remission of sins as one of Jesus’ requirements for salvation.
    Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, not works. That is, Jesus saves us through His grace as a gift to those who have faith enough to obey His commandments, WHICH ARE NOT PERSONAL WORKS. Yet denominations abuse the passage in claiming salvation by faith alone in Jesus without being baptized. You want to invite Jesus into your heart? Fine, but DO NOT stop there. Jesus says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15 KJV), just like those above. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14 KJV). “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? (Luke 6:46 KJV).
    THEREFORE, If YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN JESUS AND YOU REALLY WANT TO BE SAVED, THEN DO WHAT JESUS TELLS YOU TO DO. IT’S. JUST. THAT. SIMPLE.

Cristian is saying that all other denominations came from the Roman Catholic church, thus implying that all other denominations are apostate. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not claim to be formerly Roman Catholic. It claims that the Roman Catholics apostatized from _them._ When the EO church says it's "catholic," it means that it encompasses all true Christian believers, not that it came from the RCC. Not only does the EO call itself catholic and orthodox, but it also claims to be apostolic. I hope you don't think that by doing so, it's claiming that it came from Oneness Pentecostals!
