"Move your treasure and your heart will move." What a beautiful way of thinking about following the call.

Wow you blew my mind ! So, the tree in Roman's 11 is Israel. It includes Jews who accept Jesus as king, and gentiles who also accept Jesus as king. Anyone else, of any ancestry who doesn't accept Jesus is king is trimmed off. Gentiles grafted in. Not a replacement. Just a trimming and grafting of the original Israel. Is that right ?! I'll be studying Roman's 11. Can you make a video on navigating this political left vs right climate how to be kingdom minded and not off this world ?

This takes me back to Terre Hill Mennonite High in the mid-90s, and listening to Frank teach church history and at White Oak teaching youth group.

It's no wonder that he has unbiblical view of what he calls "Evangelical church" as he calls it, JW is not "Evangelical".

So thankful the Lord has used this ministry to make this goldmine available to us. May God richly bless you.

What a treasure. Thank you.

I thought women where not supposed to teach men? Why is this women teaching this guy bible stuff haha

I so much appreciate Frank's clear, concise, and direct approach to teaching. What makes his teaching even better is his captivity to Christ and to the Holy Scriptures. This kind of integrity cannot help but bear good fruit in the lives of those learners who desire to live into God's truth.

Thank you so very much for addressing this question. You folks are very gracious, honest and sincere in your heartfelt desire to answer hard questions and confront problems in Christendom. May the Lord be magnified. God bless you. This was very helpful

The final advice Samantha gives is wise and in the truth.

so are we to live apart, from the general population, such as the Amish do....

This is the way I believe, and I’m so happy that I found this in my Anabaptists Perspectives. The Trinity is Three in One, Each with His Delegated Responsibility in the Kingdom and the Church. The Holy Spirit is shorted often, and His powers are ignored. Some receive the Holy Ghost over a period of time until they receive His fullness, while most I’ve encountered receive Him instantaneously, as they did at Pentecost, just as they did forgiveness and justification from Jesus before Pentecost. He divides these gifts as He willeth - meaning it isn’t always one specific gift a Christian receives so as to prevent pride. To slight the Holy Spirit of His just rewards isn’t right. The gifts and fruits of the Spirit have been here on Earth since Pentecost, not just during Biblical times.. With His gifts in operation, it makes church meetings or prayer meetings more exciting, as you don’t know what the Holy Ghost may do in showing His love of you and Jesus. There are two types of sin - sins of omission and sins of commission. The latter was forgiven during justification; the former is a result of the Adamic sin, in which all humans and babies are born. It is cleansed during the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, i.e. Adamic sin. With the Holy Ghost in us, His Spirit is one with our spirit and brings our attention to that sin of omission so we can receive forgiveness for quenching the Holy Ghost and are forgiven. Babies who die need no forgiveness because they haven’t committed any sins of commission, but are under the Holy Spirit’s purification to eradicate the Adamic sin which we all have inherited as mankind. Hope this makes a little sense - there’s so much I can write on this and all the gifts I’ve seen working during Church or Prayer Meetings or during the spontaneous revivals of Asbury University or where just a few are gathered but are of like mind - unified in the Holy Spirit.

Always excited for a new video. Thank you both.

It's literally in the Bible, explicitly in the Book of Acts. You can't just "give up" on it without also giving up on the Bible. It's precisely how things worked in the Old Testament too; the importance of succession from Moses to Joshua is clear.

Did the Church replace Jews?

/😮

There is only one Bible but so many different interpitations. All Christians profess to worship God, but is it on their own terms.

Matthew 5:41 seems to imply from Christ the law of the Roman soldier toward occupied peoples the right to bear their burden according to Roman law. Jesus said if he compels you to go the distance of the law, to go further. How does such a dynamic work then in the course of human governments today compeling a Christian to at the least bear the burden of a non-combative role. OF course the command of non-violence and no murder can impact combative roles, but what about the law compelling one to take up a role to care for wounded or even (as seemed evident in Jesus day) be the carrier of materials?

Can you bring some time Chris Stoltzfus? He has very interesting subjects.

Thanks for this episode. I really appreciate the valuable insight from Merle. His life has been and continues to be an encouragement to me.

We needed this episode. Merle introduced us to a skeleton to which flesh can be attached. Could we have some more?

Glad to hear this optimism. Most men in his position have a dystopian view of the future.

Probably the least convincing argument I've ever heard

Wrong! Revelation was written before Jerusalem fell, Kenneth Gentry has proven this conclusively in his book “Before Jerusalem Fell”. The debate is settled. Otherwise, good conversation

Theophillus of Antioch 180 AD coined the Trinity concept before Tertullian.

Are your recommended books available from Scroll Publishing?

I understand that it's good to be non-violent and peace loving, but it's also wrong to overlook crime and oppression. These aren't contractions as long as everything is done out of love. The position that says "let's woo everyone to Christianity", but then says they must quit all governmental or military responsibility IS a seeming contradiction IF (and I think this is true) government is necessary for civilization. Also, to say that there were no Christians in government in the first century is completely false. There is Erastus who was the city treasurer of Corinth and, less directly, but still something to think about Joanna the wife of Herod Antipas' manager. Something else important to say here is that when you become a Christian your primary identity is now in Christ Jesus, not what you do, although you do it for the glory of God. Paul and Luke made this point in the New Testament in regards to Erastus, who's name is mentioned three times, in three books, but only described by his position in one of them.

People who absorb content deserve to see the "back end" of the production. This transparency increases credibility and respect. I appreciate that you have opened the window to those who wonder what is going on back there. Obviously, the high quality (a hallmark of genuine Christianity) rests on a solid foundation which you have opened up to view. Thanks for doing this special episode.

When you say nonprofit. Do you mean 5013C ?

How about doing a series where you interview Anabaptists from different backgrounds across the US? Directly in their homes to explore their traditions and beliefs, that would be really great!

I really appreciate the fact that although you do use the internet obviously, you aren't posting stuff everyday (or even every week) especially on Sundays when we should be off the internet and focused on our local church. Quality over quantity. The danger of the social aspect of the internet is that it takes the place of the local brotherhood (example... if I have a question do I go to the internet (even to a wonderful channel like this) first before a local pastor? Not trying to discourage, but to safeguard! Another thing I've thought of is for the videos to be available in essay form that could be printed out and read? That would be good for people who don't use the internet! Do you all have anything like that?

Thank you for putting out content showing an Anabaptist worldview that is very hard to find. I can't help but to think this type of work is part of Jesus prayer to bring together the real Church as one, as He is one with the Father

I appreciate what you do on here. SOme of those you have interviewed have been top quality interviews and an encouragement to me personally. David Bercot has pushed me to look deeper in my reading as well. As a Baptist and living overseas, I have found myself in an area of discovering more about the Anabaptist movement and teachings. I have also been encouraged to examine my own traditions and see where the Anabaptist movement have held a strong Biblical tradition that also looks closely at the historical early church. Thanks for the work.

Christians no longer nor have they ever had the privilege of being "neutral". "Neutrality" is not historic neither is it relevant.

Sorry brother, I love your work, but they did. Study them closer. Not a single father opposed infant baptism

John the Baptist never told the soldiers to quit as soon as possible. So was he wrong, or were those soldiers actually okay for continuing to be soldiers? Also the Proverbs 31 woman's husband sat at the city gate. So he was likely a guard or a judge, (a government job), and in the entire passage the woman's life was described in positive terms and is considered exemplary. In the Old Testament, God ordered the Israelites to war against their enemies as they were also enemies of God. So at least at that point in time it was Biblically fine. I agree war is often wrong, but I'd need more Bible verses I'm unaware of to reach your conclusion that it is always a sin. Also, it could be the early Christians didn't want to be part of a government that persecuted Christians so they were not part of it for reasons other than nonresistance. I respect you all for your beliefs and support your right to not violate your conscience and fight in wars, but it is important to "rightly divide the word of truth."

Another great interview. Centuries of information in a few minutes, but great information to give a better perspective of the Christian development of their war doctrines or ideals. I hope this discussion will continue into further problems we are facing today. Thank you for the interview.

Fantastic, you genuinely have the Holy Spirit to the forefront here and you expose the only answer for True Christains to follow Jesus Christ in True Faith and True Trust. This is the only medicine to the christsin churches problems today, introduced by degenerates, wicked servants, who claimed to serve Jesus Christ, using only flattery and lipservice, as they rather desired to unite to the false spouse. False "saintly" idols, who are honored and believed to be the "true" torch bearers to christains, but rather they were the wolves dressed in sheeps clothing and followed the dragon disguised as the lamb. What a fantastic consolation it is to hear the Truth for a change, for the majority of the christain church's are blind to their own ignorance and hypocrisy while desiring to cling to their own denial.

The problem is that it’s way too hard to find a church or people online to help you learn this way of life. It’s quite frustrating. The closest I can find is a PCA Presbyterian church which is way better than other mainline protestant churches.

The video covered only the front 30-40% of the transcript. Is there a part 2 to continue conversing the rest of the transcript?

Thank you for addressing this topic. Let's take advantage of the opportunities we have to make a difference in our communities I also appreciated the comments about the difference we can make by raising Godly children you are also responsible contributing citizens that's a great way to influence Society.

Islam has absolutely nothing to do with the Christian idea about holy war, just war, violence, etc. there is no correlation. Islam was born out of Christianity. Islam is a direct product of Christianity. I think its funny how Anabaptists think about Mormons compared to Muslims.

The point at the end about reading the Bible with our western American lens on seeing the world was very impactful to me

This conversation was so helpful in that it was based in Biblical reality, practical reality, and desperately needed. Janelle presented her material in a logical, thoughtful, and humble manner so that it could only be rejected by intention. I bless God that this content could be available to so many at this hour in time. Unfortunately, so many people are hurting, are feeling abandoned, and are being confused in the church. Of course, the general society has intentionally moved away from God and His truth but the church is to be an oasis of order, hope, and care. This conversation offered hope and healing. Keep up the good work, Janelle.

Yes David is using the word "orthodoxy" not Orthodoxy. In other words, what the word means Orthos ορθος from Greek means Straight (and metaphorically "correct" meaning)... and "doxy" from Latin for "teaching"... so he is just saying "correct teaching" and I am sure his intent is to indicate "Apostolic teaching" or "Historic Teaching". However, not sure if every Orthodox priest would explain this historic perspective correctly, but in general, the Orthodox church still teaches the Trinity correctly.

Good words!

I'm very impressed by your humbleness being totally commited to the Lord's lordship...lord bless you, i found peace and holiness in your statements
