I have had to do the same exercise with some that believe the races should not intermarry.

Good points.

LOL... I think it should be interesting. I have wanted to go for quite a while, just never have gotten around to it. May try to do it soon...

Mennonites are usually stricter about "standards" than most ultra-con pentecostals. Ask Emma.

I dont understand why anyone would want to visit a Mennonite Church.

From what I've seen online they seem like old mainline baptist meetings (with modest dress, no jewelry, and headcoverings).

Not quite my cup of tea. lol

Contemplate this reality.

While Christianity did break forth from Judaism, and many first Christians continued in their Jewish traditions... to me, biblical Christianity is unique above all other "worldly" and "earthly" religions. It is unique because it has no special holy days, every day is considered holy. It has only two definite sacraments, baptism and the Lord's Supper. It's law is love, and love fulfills the spirit of the entire Law of Scripture. Also, Christianity isn't married to any specific language or culture, therefore it is universal in it's scope, appeal, and application. Biblical Christianity is a faith of pure love and Spirit that transcends all earthly accoutrements.

Therefore, Messianic Christianity seems to be a Christian faith frozen in time. A faith forcing all into a Jewish mold and fashion... rather they have any true Jewish heritage or not. Therefore, it forces many to live a lie.

Excellent and right on the money!

What would be wrong with it? I certainly don't believe what they teach, but it would be interesting to see how they experience church from their perspective.
