Well I pretty much have stopped coming around CF altogether after we got the left foot of fellowship from the baptist forum.

The ana-baptist forum is bound to be controversial.
For Mennonites there should be their own forum.

The nature of the historical Ana-baptists including Menno Simons was much more radical than the present day Mennonites.

The Jesuits, formed to counter the protestant reformation revived the Inquisition to be used against the Anabaptist's and other Protestants.

[brother daniel]

You may be right.
For me it starts here http://www.bibleviews.com/Schleitheim.html

[Fourth. We are agreed [as follows] on separation: A separation shall be made from the evil and from the wickedness which the devil planted in the world; in this manner, simply that we shall not have fellowship with them [the wicked] and not run with them in the multitude of their abominations. This is the way it is: Since all who do not walk in the obedience of faith, and have not united themselves with God so that they wish to do His will, are a great abomination before God, it is not possible for anything to grow or issue from them except abominable things. For truly all creatures are in but two classes, good and bad, believing and unbelieving, darkness and light, the world and those who [have come] out of the world, God's temple and idols, Christ and Belial; and none can have part with the other.
To us then the command of the Lord is clear when He calls upon us to be separate from the evil and thus He will be our God and we shall be His sons and daughters.
He further admonishes us to withdraw from Babylon and the earthly Egypt that we may not be partakers of the pain and suffering which the Lord will bring upon them.
From this we should learn that everything which is not united with our God and Christ cannot be other than an abomination which we should shun and flee from. By this is meant all popish and antipopish works and church services, meetings and church attendance,* drinking houses, civic affairs, the commitments [made in] unbelief and other things of that kind, which are highly regarded by the world and yet are carried on in flat contradiction to the command of God, in accordance with all the unrighteouness which is in the world. From all these things we shall be separated and have no part with them for they are nothing but an abomination, and they are the cause of our being hated before our Christ Jesus, Who has set us free from the slavery of the flesh and fitted us for the service of God through the Spirit Whom He has given us. ]
-----------------------* This severe judgment on the state churches must be understood in the light of sixteenth century conditions. The state clergymen were in many cases careless and carnal men. All citizens in a given province were considered members of the state church because they had been made Christians ("chrisened") by infant baptism. Also, in 1527 Zurich had begun to use capital punishment on the Swiss Brethren, with the full approval of the state church leaders. Sattler himself was burned at the stake less than three months after the Schleitheim conference.

Therefore there will also unquestionably fall from us the unchristian, devilish weapons of force -- such as sword, armor and the like, and all their use [either] for friends or against one's enemies I would like the records -- by virtue of the word of Christ, Resist not [him that is] evil.]

http://www.bibleviews.com/Dordrecht.html

But I suspect it even goes back further to the Waldensians.

Modern Mennonite history is as differant from the Anibaptist Swiss bretheren as modern Methodists are from the spirit filled message of John Wesley and Francis Asbury.

The History of the Jesuits Chapter 5
THE JESUIT TEACHING ON REGICIDE, MURDER, LYING, THEFT, ETC.​

The lawfulness of killing excommunicated, that is Protestant, kings, the Jesuit writers have been at great pains to maintain, and by a great variety of arguments to defend and enforce. The proof is as abundant as it is painful. M. de la Chalotais reports to the Parliament of Bretagne, as the result of his examination of the laws and doctrines of the Jesuits, that on this point there is a complete and startling unanimity in their teaching. By the same logical track do the whole host of Jesuit writers arrive at the same terrible conclusion, the slaughter, namely, of the sovereign on whom the Pope has pronounced sentence of deposition. If he shall take meekly his extrusion from Power, and seek neither to resist nor revenge his being hurled from his throne, his life may be spared; but should "he persist in disobedience," says M. de la Chalotais, himself a Papist, and addressing a Popish Parliament, "he may be treated as a tyrant, in which case anybody may kill him.1 Such is the course of reasoning established by all authors of the society, who have written ex professo on these subjects—Bellarmine, Suarez, Molina, Mariana, Santarel—all the Ultramontanes without exception, since the establishment of the society."2

If we studied Anabaptist long enough, we would understand better. I have been involved in a Anabaptist denomination for almost 20 years and I found Anabaptist do believe much of the Christian Theologies except what separates their doctrines (i.e. Baptism, etc). Nation from the greek word "Ethnos". Strongs defines Ethnos as a multitude (whether of men or of beasts) associated or living together as a company, troop, swarm. A multitude of individuals of the same nature or genus the human family a tribe, nation, people group (Culture). One thing I have learned when I was in the Anabaptist denomination, preferences aren't necessarily a doctrine issue, but can become serious when people in the church can't get along with each other because of their preferences. There are many Christian cultures because there are Christians who will follow their conscience, feelings, beliefs and personal worship preferences. This is between God and each individual believer(s). There are different preferences of beliefs and different style of worship. Some prefer one worship style while other prefer another worship style. The key is that we must worship God in Spirit with other believers regardless our "personal" opinion or loyalty to our movements. As long as our conscience is clear and our heart is pure before God, don't be concerned with issues. In Romans 14:5 "One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." 1 Corinthians 10:28-29 "both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience' sake, the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?"

The History of the Jesuits Chapter 5
THE JESUIT TEACHING ON REGICIDE, MURDER, LYING, THEFT, ETC.​

The lawfulness of killing excommunicated, that is Protestant, kings, the Jesuit writers have been at great pains to maintain, and by a great variety of arguments to defend and enforce. The proof is as abundant as it is painful. M. de la Chalotais reports to the Parliament of Bretagne, as the result of his examination of the laws and doctrines of the Jesuits, that on this point there is a complete and startling unanimity in their teaching. By the same logical track do the whole host of Jesuit writers arrive at the same terrible conclusion, the slaughter, namely, of the sovereign on whom the Pope has pronounced sentence of deposition. If he shall take meekly his extrusion from Power, and seek neither to resist nor revenge his being hurled from his throne, his life may be spared; but should "he persist in disobedience," says M. de la Chalotais, himself a Papist, and addressing a Popish Parliament, "he may be treated as a tyrant, in which case anybody may kill him.1 Such is the course of reasoning established by all authors of the society, who have written ex professo on these subjects—Bellarmine, Suarez, Molina, Mariana, Santarel—all the Ultramontanes without exception, since the establishment of the society."2

The chapter above is important because it why I witnessed Roman Catholic liturgy and icons being introduced into a prosperus Mennonite Church in Virginia by a new young pastor.

This next chapter is important because it is linked to the the American Revolution and what the Jesuits were up with the Masons to while they were banshed from the Roman Catholic Church.

Jesuit Bishop John Carroll was the first American bishop and the founder of Georgetown University. He was a member of the prominent Carroll family -- his brother Daniel owned most of the land where the Capitol is now

Pope Benedict XVI was elected in April 2005, after the death of his predecessor Pope John Paul II. As head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - once known as the Holy Office of the Inquisition - from 1981 until his election, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had developed a reputation as a tough theologian.

Yet this tough theologian is seen kissing the Islamic Koran. And what does it prove? That the Pope is a secret Muslim maybe? That the Pope doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ maybe? That the Pope is a relativist, perhaps? A syncretist for sure? That all religions are one in the Pope’s mind? The Pope also kisses the ground upon landing in various countries on pastoral visits. A secret pantheist? Unlikely

Here is a Jesuit style argument for the Pope.

Secrecy and secret societies is not the way of Jesus Christ
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/masons.htm

As a disciple of Jesus Christ I suggest we all follow the example of the Ana-baptist Swiss brethren and return to the simple gospel of Jesus Christ and reject the winds of doctrine we have been exposed to.




The reliable source was a photo of the pope kissing kissing the Koran in the New York Times. I had a very viscrial reaction.



No doubt but .A. Wylie LL.D.,
2 vol. History of Protestantism is not a questionable source.

And I am grateful for you calling my attention to that.
We must separate the chaff from the wheat.



The Quaker Friends taught me to listen.

Dear Brother Daniel, thank-you, for your kind post. I don't doubt that the RC persecuted The Anabaptists and others who did not subscribe to their beliefs.
I also believe the RC inferes, today,way too much politically in other countries affairs.
I don't think it's the "harlot of Babylon" though...

I look forward to reading more of your posts.
