The Russian is a very slightly different.
It says, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen”
Since there are no definite or indefinite articles in Russian, I added them to make it more readable.
You mean like the “Black Bumper” Mennonites?
I didn’t think they were growing in numbers.
Many Mennonites worked in Central America and were pro-Sandinista and into the “theology of liberation”. Yet other Mennonites told me, “We don’t believe in that” (trendy lefty thinking).
To my understanding both Amish & old order Mennonites are growing.

The more modern Mennonites around here have been giant libs for as long as I can remember.

I do not attend any church. DO I believe in God and Jesus? Yes! Do I believe the churches of today follow Jesus’s teachings? For the most part, no. I left the church when the congregation voted to fire that pastor who admitted he was an alcoholic after he had a heart attack. No one knew it. He never showed up drunk. Never missed to be at the church when he was suppose to be and he was popular. The people turned on him instead of embracing him and helping him with his problem. The worst of it was that the folks who voted him out were no better than he was. They were drinkers, adulterers and cheaters and they were passing judgment onto this pastor. I left and never went back to that church. Did I try other churches? Yes. Never found one I could feel like God was being worshipped. All show and no substance.
We have one here, rainbow flags, pride, name it it flies the equality stuff. I’d like to stick my head in there and see what the heck but I’d probably give them a hellfire speech and get tossed out of the county.
Yes, I’m an usher, get to see every smiling face coming in but I feel a street-something is more in order. Praying about how to get the Word out.
Godspeed, brother
Another formerly Christian church follows satan.
They already have, by allowing divorce.
Liberation theology" influencing missionaries in South America in the 1920s onward is what infiltrated and ruined the Methodist Church. It was the credo of that wacky Chicago pastor of Obama and Oprah who said "G** d**n America." It's working on the Catholic Church through its current "pope", too. Just another buzzword for universalist communism.
Neither is Matthew 6 or Mark 10.
See post 73 in this thread.
One Church won’t. That’s the one He is coming to get as His bride. (I’m not talking about a denomination).
I was raised in the Lutheran Church. That is the church that fired the pastor. I thank you for the site. I will check it out.
Another sect committing suicide for the cult of the trannies. How is it the tranny cult is more powerful than the message of Christ?
Same as 9Marks.
