I felt pity for
genuine Anabaptists the moment I heard the report. For the genuine anabaptists
it was like hell that they were falsely accused and some were tortured and
killed without finding any fault as long as your part of the group. I was angry
with Zwingli since he was one of the main person who approved of killing
Anabaptists. He said that it was not about the issue of baptism that the people
were killed but because of rebellion. In fairness, I think Zwingli, didn't
himself entirely approve of killing people but because of judicial duty that
must be implemented in order to have an example for others not to do anything
stupid, he approved. It must have been very hard for Zwingli seeing those
people killed everyday.
The church should be a hospital for
persons who are badly wounded fighting for their lives and for those people who
want to have a Christ-like living slowly not immediately God is changing them.
Church should accept people for who they are, not the church wanted them to be.
Although in a sense that the idea of changing them from bad to good is right
but church should understand that it is very difficult to change instantly a
person, unless the Lord Himself revealed to that person, like what happened to
Paul.
When I'm in the ministry, I should
change my view ok different kinds of people that I will be ministering to.
Understanding them for who they are, accepting of what they are, being able to
truly understand what on earth we are here for and what is the purpose of
living. I tend to ignore people who are hard-headed but the Lord help me
realized that I am a hard-headed person, I should accept them since God
accepted me for who I am. So help me God.
