I read Doug's book, I think he makes some good points.
Currently I don't go to church, I abandoned Evangelicalism 12 years ago because it is a hate and ego trip disguised as a religion. I currently study Buddhist meditation and philosophy, but I am also interested in Jesus. I just am not interested in Evangelical Christianity, I believe it is badly broken. I'd love to visit an Emergent church, not just a "seeker sensitive" church with window dressing.
You need to read history and see how many "reformers" cut out the tongues of those who disagreed with them,or Anabaptists who were drowned for their views on baptism by the other protestants. Do you own Schaff's "History of the Church". Email me and I'll gladly let you borrow a copy of 1 of the 8 volumes. Trucker Frank
According to Scaff (vol. 8 pp 81-85),Zwingli and his magistrates were responsible for thousands of Anabaptist deaths(men,women,children)beca use of their views on baptism,Lord's supper and submission to civil/church authority.Calvin published scathing denouncements and then turned a blind eye while his followers carried out punishment with a vengence. If you meet a Mennonite pastor ask him for evidence of the "tolerance" of the reformers.Please check it out yourself. TF
Also do a Wikipedia search on Anabaptists and look at the section on persecutions. If you have time you can access the book Martyrs Mirror and read a complete account of the persecution of Anabaptists by both Catholics and Protestants. Hope that helps. TF
Yes you are right this recent trend in toung cutting and mass murder by professed Christians is quite disturbing - what was I thinking? sorry Doug - your right we need to avoid another crusade and rethink everything into a Christianity "we want". All of these people that say they are for defending the faith once delivered to the saints are closet crusaders
Dont worry, the anabaptists already got to me and cut it out - I rekon they need beanbags in their churches instead of pews coz piles can make even the most regenerate christian cranky!!
