Anabaptist Perspectives is using digital media to encourage allegiance to Jesus’ sacrificial Kingdom through regular content covering a wide range of topics. We engage with questions important for faithful living in ways that are biblically, historically, and theologically informed. Anabaptist Perspectives also publishes a podcast, blog, and email newsletter.
The church must stay away from it. There are people writing sermons and songs for the church on it and it is very concerning. No more meditating and praying and fasting necessary. Let the computer do it for you. And it is very dangerous to think that the devil cannot use it to cause destruction both in the world and in the church.
Do you have any videos on reconciling Christianity with modern science? I've been having issues with Darwinism and how old the earth is compared to the Book of Genesis. I'd love to hear the Anabaptist perspective.
We recorded two episodes with John Mark Kuhns. They might be helpful for your question. Part 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-02nCEK9ClWQ.html Part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pWyqwDkvGfY.html
We must understand the difference between Judeans and Jews, Jesus told us who they are Revelation 2:9 and 3:9, in the parable of the sower, they are the tares, we are to mark them but leave them alone, Hitler tried to root them out,against God's instruction. These counterfeit Jews are Kenites or sons of Cain,they are here to complete the negative part of God's plan. They will sacrifice their own people to complete their agenda. The Ashkenazi Jews helped Hitler round up Jews for Hitler, in Germany many Jews took Germany Judean names to hide behind, example George Soros family took the Schwartz name and changed it to fit the agenda, just to name one. The modern day" Jews "were historically Khazars or Chazars, a Mongolian Nordic tribe who roamed Northern Europe. The book of Genesis tells you Cain went to Mongolia to get his wife ,also read the punishment God placed on Cain it fits these counterfeit Jews today. That is why they can hide behind antisemitism, "Zionism "and no one dare expose them our you are branded a racist.
The N.T. tells us who Jesus is but is it not true to declare history tells us Jesus was a Torah observant Jew and His disciples were also Torah observant Jews.
They found some apocryphal books of the Bible in the Dead Sea scrolls. So they were in use by the first century Jews in the Holy land. Of course best preserved in their Greek form through the Septuagint
Taking faith out of the sacraments...so you have to be smart enough to be 'saved' or have valid sacraments. How about those that are retarded and cannot mentally comprehend these dogmatic and religious definitions, distinctions, comprehensions of theologic mental gyrations? C'mon Dean.
One of the major red flags with the trauma movement is that it enables perpetual victimhood status. People never rise above whatever happened ( or did not happen) to them. They spend the rest of their life wanting a handkerchief and a hand on the shoulder. This is simply not the way to help people. There are many people in the world that suffer daily yet they get up and keep going. They don't have the luxury of being a full time victim. So sometimes you just have to come to terms with the reality that bad things happen in life that we cannot control. However, we do have control over how we choose to move forward. We can be strong in the Lord and suck it up and keep moving forward to a happy life or we can just keep sobbing and wanting attention. The winners in life choose the former. It's always a choice. So perhaps instead of endorsing leftist talking points it would be much more profitable to stick to the Bible.
They are like spelunkers who want to descend into the cave to find the passage to the center of the earth. It's never been found before, but they are certain that this next time they will find it. Study rather should be made into knowledge of renewing the mind, doubt to faith bitterness to power Ultimately the so called psych sciences are merely people developing a relationship with a new person so that they can be told to get over it. There is no end to the trauma that a mind given to being informed by trauma can recall, and even invent. Being trauma informed is a mark of heresy, spiritual death, and malignant weakness.
@@waynemershon4622 have you ever experienced sexual trama ? Dumb question or you wouldn't post such ignorance . That's the point you already are in a victim cycle without it it gets the loop that's been in you brain for years and slowly works you out of it you Mennonites are a hopeless cause no wo Der there is a million different denominations you people have lost God in everything and God broke the Mennonites into so many splinter cults
@@waynemershon4622 be thankfull you can pull yourself up by your own boot straps you clearly do t need God the people who do are the ones who have been broken by the ignorance the Mennonites have peddled
@@waynemershon4622 ask me how I know ......I was abused myself I grew up on a farm dropped out of school and worked 50 hours a week when I was 14 I was the definition of a work ahollic and now I'm 35 and guess what I'm still dealing with panic attacks and depression the only thing that's ever helped is trama healing and in that givei g over to Jesus and letting g the Holy Spirit heal it the idea if your busy you will not have time for it is a fantasy and doesn't work know I how I know ..... I LIVE IT .ANDguess what I ha ewife and two kids and I get to raise my kids outside of the Mennonite horor show and watch them become followers of Jesus
'They will experience great healing, but there will still often be scars.' 'Respect and humility in relationships are as healing for trauma as medications.' Amen! 'We do our own kind of religious prescribing sometime.' So true and often damaging!
This is one of the best episodes I've heard yet about trauma in relation to the church. Its so SO important that we understand and are compassionate about trauma so that we dont end up doing more damage, when we are trying to help.
The part where Jesus comes in is so powerful when you experience the love of Jesus it changes who you are and Jesus should always be the goal and helping people and three powerful words are God is love
To hear him scoff at the people that think it might be a vaccine, when we just went through a period of time where that was the exact scenario! If you didn't have the covid vaccine, you were refused from doing business in New York City. If it wasn't for the United States Constitution , vaccine passport and digital IDs would be mandatory worldwide
I very much agree with this. What the secular world is saying is true, but for Christians, we believe that Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the one guiding that process. Check out the book "Living from the Heart Jesus gave you"
No offense to you but the church needs to addopt this full stop you dont relize the trama that is in the Mennonite church you dont relize how many people need this you need to fund those peoples lives for the time they are going through the vally
No. It should be rejected wholesale. It is contrary to what is holy, just and good. Fundamentally, even therapy when it has a degree of effectiveness amounts to telling people what has happened cannot be changed, and to just get over it.
@@burnellheller2939 based on what it's the only thing minus a mirical which god hands out so sprasly you Mennonites are ignorant not only in your Bible but suffering and trama healing
I so much appreciate this & learning from it! I so identify with needing to be compassionate with each other instead of trying to fix each other's problems. Also knowing how much I am loved of the Father and that gives us more compassion for others. I can identify with what Janelle said, "The greater the scars, the greater the healing." Thanks for sharing, Janelle, im not quite done listening yet!❤
So don't you see, God did change if he found a new way to deal with our enemies. You probably don't have conversations with Christians who aren't Anabaptist, but it would be great if you would consider having one with Bobby Collier of the Good God channel. He absolutely proves the OT god is not the Father of Jesus Christ. Can you refute what he says? I've spent many years looking into this and I cannot disagree with him. Thank you.
Infant and " Believers" baptisms have always existed and always will. As a convert to Eastern Orthodox, I'm an example of the latter. The important point here is that both must be done as an actual sacrament within The Church (which would include Chrismation), not merely as a "public testimony" officiated by anyone. Even so, so long as a baptism is triune (in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit), the Orthodox Church will recognize that baptism and then complete the sacrament with Chrismation when a convert enters The Church.
Thank you for introducing us to how the Eastern Orthodox church thinks about and practices baptism. We're on the same page with baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian I categorically disagree with Bercot, but it's so refreshing to hear a Protestant finally define and describe Apostolic Succession correctly on a RU-vid video in which the Protestant describing it is presenting himself as an expert (or at least accurately informed).
5 major cities sit on 7 hills, one being Jerusalem. I enjoyed this alternative view of Revelation. “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:” Revelation 1:1 KJV “shortly come to pass”
I was born into a Mennonite Brethern family who made it to Canada from Ukraine in 1926. My grandfather Abram A Wiens worked with MCC and began the first clothing and MCC thrift stores in Yarrow BC. He helped many German Mennonites after WWIi with Canadian citizenship and all their paperwork. Many had also been in Paraguay for some years because the Canadian government would not let families with any medical problems enter Canada anymore. There were other reasons as well, perhaps they had filled their quota and Mennonites also had to promise they would be farmers, and some like my family still are. It’s great my grandson by name of Archambeault, who loves the Lord wants to take over soon. 😊( grandpa would be astounded by a non Mennonite name)My grandfather must have known this story but never talked about it. He was in the white army in Ukraine and lived in Tiege, Sagradovka right close to where Chernobyl sits. One night the reds ambushed his group of Mennonite soldiers,who were serving in the Selbststutz (Mennonite villages protection). One by one the men were taken out of the cell according to the alphabet and shot. It gave Grampa time to think and while he messed up his new boots(so the Reds wouldn’t steal them) he found a Bible tract and accepted Christ as Savior. When they called his name he wouldn’t confirm who he was and because they kept a record they just drank the night away and got bored. Eventually someone said “ah this one has some courage. Let’s let him go” When he got home he found his mother had been up all night praying!!!! Praise God. I’m so grateful I found this story. What a lesson it holds. I will make sure to pass it on to all my family. It’s so Important. Where can I get this book? Please would someone let me know or where I can get more of this man’s information. THANKYOU for sharing this. From our farm near Fort St. John B.C. Canada. ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Conservative Anabaptists! Realize Biden won PA by 81,660 votes. Since PA is that tight of a race, if PA goes to Kamala and she wins the general, no conservative Anabaptist in PA can ever complain about inflation, wars, increasing moral decay, and so forth as you could have been the small group that made the difference.
We hear what you're saying. Many, probably most, conservative Anabaptists take a principled position against voting. We discuss the matter in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BJvZzezEHZw.htmlfeature=shared
Very interested in Anabaptist. But I’m far from have been raised as anabaptist, more of a very light Protestant. Anabaptist looks more like the real deal to me and their history is tough.
Imteresting convo! A response to owning land versus renting, ive heard it explained that our ancestors were peasant farmers and could not own land and when they migrated that became a big thing for them to own their own land/home. Much of what we do is clearly passed down from history. Such as running when things get hard, especially church conflict. What other ppl group base their decision to move, on churches alone? Most ppl will move because of jobs, but anabaptist move entire states and more because of church. 🤷🏼♀️ Just an interesting thought...
The early Christian settlers, especially a group like the Puritans, were very into the old testament God of war, wrath and vengeance. This is one of the reasons there are so many ministries now that are teaching he was not the Father who sent Jesus. Good God channel explains this very well.
Trauma is largely a function of a person’s perspective on the negative things that happens to every living being. Two people can go through the same event, and one is “traumatized”, the other is not. The challenge therefore is to get people to move past the crippling mental outlook that causes someone to look at events that happen in their life in a manner that cripples them . Apostle Paul’s advice to forget those things that are behind and press forward to new things is the best way to deal with trauma. Focusing a patient’s attention on the universal human experiences that are defined as “trauma” is a great recipe to create lifelong recurring customers for “counselors” who are cruel enough to do so.
Claiming to be traumatized is one attempt to escape rebuke, admonition, and reproof. Of course, some people have been cruelly treated, but those things are absolute values, and not, subjective as some claim. Better it is to be informed by the power and knowledge of God, than to wander down the endless trail of trauma, bitterness, and darkness, which the evil one is quite willing to give an endless supply of. The trauma informed are invariably unable to withstand analysis of their doctrine, while they claim to be strong enough to speak to the paths of life.
Frank Reed delivered this class during his time as an instructor at Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute in Harrisonville, Pennsylvania. Their website is smbi.org/.
In the end, God frees us from this wicked government. We should obey the laws that don't cause us to sin (Romans 13:1), but we should not view states as authorative. There is no freeom apart from Christ.
Our so called Antibaptist churches need so much teaching on how to help the hurting, our Antibaptist chuches are often not safe places to work through trauma. 🙏🙏
Thank you Janelle, you give me hope for our people and the much needed care versus rejection for trauma that we so desperately want healing for.💔 God bless you!
The thing the Mennonite church doesnt understand is addiction is a symthom they are so good at shaming a person into silence and not helping them they are only worried about the extrenal and coild give dam about what is happing inside the Mennonites have lost there way
