M...I live in a country of a multitude of religions. My sister who is Hindu is marrying into a Muslim family and they demand that she convert to Islam. (this is not a reflection on Islam but the situation itself). My sister presented a similar case to that of the Anabaptists- that is religion is a personal choice and cannot be forced upon anyone. I agree with this 100%. <br /><br />There should be a separation of powers between politics and religion. I have seen too often that persons rise to power in hopes of spreading "the word of God" but yet get distorted by that same power. I think that power should be only undertaken by those who have staunch integrity and who are for the people- not just the Christian people. I don't believe in a hierarchy of persons based on religion and neither should persons involved in politics. <br /><br />What is the purpose of religion if it makes you judgmental, hateful and spiteful?

The story of Elizabeth Dirks is inspiring and her faith is far more consistent with the kingdom principles taught by Jesus (e.g., in Sermon on the Mount, a favorite with Anabaptists) than either Catholics or Protestants who believed they were right in burning a person to uphold a doctrine (Balthasar Hübmeier, 16th c., "On Heretics and Those Who Burn Them"). <br /><br />Similar to you, I have started a blog (though mine is only a few months old) as a place to reflect out loud on Christian issues of interest to me and many people I know. <br /><br />Good stuff.

I don't mind government, as long as it conducts itself reasonably, leaves me alone, helps educate the citizernery and regulates businesses.<br /><br />I appreciate your post on Menno Simms. Few know much about him or the Anabaptists and I find that when I mention thier theology, I get blank stares.<br /><br />Keep up the good work! I hope my blog becomes as awesome as yours!<br /><br />http://historywasneverlikethat.blogspot.com/Theresa Brunohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934415969408365200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565800034114668375.post-40450244065452195292008-10-22T07:07:00.000-07:002008-10-22T07:07:00.000-07:00i am sure this will interest lot of folksFree Musi...i am sure this will interest lot of folks<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.moshable.com/" REL="nofollow">Free Music</A>Improvedlivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875384218907815887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565800034114668375.post-44578745359486547902008-04-19T06:50:00.000-07:002008-04-19T06:50:00.000-07:00Hello.

Here in America in the last decade I think the Christian faith has really been diminished because too many people want to have their cake and eat and eat it too by engaging politics and mixing church with business. Politics can corrupt. I vote, but I would have second thoughts about being a politician.<BR/><BR/>Great article.<BR/><BR/>God bless:))Sinceraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697084922540971553noreply@blogger.com
