Why are Amish not spoken of in the Bible?
The New Testament church began after Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension. At Pentecost Christ sent the Holy Spirit to indwell believers and the church began. But different denominations of the faith didn’t develop until later. The Amish and Mennonites trace their origin back to the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Followers of Menno Simons in the 1500’s were called Mennonites. In 1693 Jacob Amman split with the Mennonites over the issue of shunning. His followers became know as Amish. As you can see, both groups got their start long after the Bible was written.
