Todays history lesson is about a reformer Ulrich Zwingli. I chose him because his story fascinated me the most. Along with his name.
Ulrich Zwingli grew up in a Baptist home and was raised a Christian. He grew up in his home town of Switzerland. He believed simple stuff and when he grew he graduated at the university of Vienna and the Basel. He was offered to become a priest elsewhere but chose the study more of plants. He stayed for a few years and finally decided to become a priest.
After a few years of teaching in Switzerland he started disagreeing with hoe they were teaching so he decided to move away.
He preached most in his life. He had his own church. He was very patient in his teachings and always explained things to were the others could understand. Although a couple of people in his church disagreed with it. They wanted him to be straight forward and get it out.
Zwigli did not agree with this so they left and soon made their own group called Anti Baptists. One of their beliefs was never to baptize a baby. You must wait until he is old enough to understand and give his heart to God (which I agree with). But the town did not like this and forced them out. They stuck with Zwigli’s teachings.
Most of these anti Baptists were caught and imprisoned but those that weren’t moved away and started their own groups.
Zwigli married Anna Reinyard, he kept her a secret un til her married her publicly in April 2nd 1524. They had 4 kids and a beautiful home. Still Zwigli preached teaching Gospel. He even devoted most of his time to writing his own bible translated in to Swiss to send back to his homeland. This way his own people could learn the word of God.
In later years Rome was upset with the way Swiss was teaching and their way of life so they went into battle. Zwigli fought along side Swiss in a fight for their home. Swiss however lost the battle and Zwigli was killed.
He is remembered to this day and many of his teachings are still being preached to this day in Baptist Churches around the country.
I think Zwigli was a great help to Baptist beliefs and I enjoyed his story.

That is a very good story!
Uh… there is one error. I will jess show you the whole thing. ‘T’would be easy to figure out: “un til her married her publicly in April 2nd 1524.”
Why did you start posting Ron Paul Essays. You haven’t been doin’ that lately.

You asked in your forum post to correct any grammar issues, and this I will do. Note that this is my opinion of what the grammar should be.
It would be best if you wrote,
‘I chose him because his story interested me the most, along with his name.’ I deleted the new sentence,
“Along with his name.” and instead just added a comma.
Next correction:
‘He grew up in his hometown of , located in Switzerland’ instead of,
“He grew up in his hometown of Switzerland.” Switzerland is here mentioned as a town, when it should say his hometown was located within Switzerland.
“He believed simple stuff,” sounds very informal, perhaps you should write,
‘He had simple beliefs,’ instead.
“He chose the study more of plants,” is not correct grammar. It should read,
‘but he chose to study plants instead.’
I don’t understand the part that reads, “he started disagreeing with hoe they were teaching”.
“He preached most of his life. He had his own church.” seems odd to me. I think you should revise it to,
‘He preached most of his life and had his own church.’
I don’t like this section,
“He was very patient in his teachings and always explained things to were the others could understand. Although a couple of people in his church disagreed with it.”
I think it should read,
‘He was very patient in his teachings and always explained things so other people could understand, although a couple of people in his church disagreed with it.’
This part should be revised:
“Most of these anti Baptists were caught and imprisoned but those that weren’t moved away and started their own groups.” I think this sounds better:
‘Most of these Anti Baptists were caught and imprisioned, but those that weren’t moved away and started their own groups.” I added a comma, and capitalized the ‘a’ in Anti Baptists.
You wrote,
“he kept her a secret un til her married her publicly in April 2nd 1524.” Perhaps it would be better if you wrote instead,
‘he kept their relationship a secret until he married her publicly on April 2, 1524.’
Those are all of the grammatical errors and other parts I found that I thought were odd, I hope you appreciated my feedback. Have a nice day!
