Something you mentioned in the blog before last struck me, "divorced people are still not allowed to participate in Communion, and given the fact that in the eyes of many, unless you actually repent a divorce, you are going to go to Hell", don't Mennonites believe in salvation by grace?
Getting a divorce against God's will is bad, but so is doing anything against His will. You walk away, you reap the consequences of not having as good a relationship with the Lord. Those can be temporal, like the punishments He uses to get you back in line, or they can be eternal, losing rewards in Heaven. But once you're saved... you're saved. A divorce doesn't "un-save" you. Once you're written in the Lamb's book of life, you're in.
So that's just weird to me.
You do want to repent sin, of course... but... hmmm.
Can you expand?
