    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    Jesus and the apostles were neither Catholic nor Protestant. I am what the apostles are - primitive Christian.

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    I wrote the following to another member in another thread - “Christianity is a broad spectrum and, whether someone likes it or not, the Catholic Church is on that spectrum. The same is true of Jewish monotheism. Christianity began as a sect of, and within, Judaism.” Post in thread 'Queen of...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    Do you think Catholics are Christians? You’ve heard me say that Catholics and Protestants are Christians and that Christianity is fractured and fragmented. I’m not questioning that Catholics are Christians. Are you?

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    @Riven the Catholics tortured and killed my Protestant ancestors. (The most famous incident involving my Protestant ancestors is known as Wyatt’s Rebellion.) My Protestant ancestors tortured and killed Catholics. My Anabaptist ancestors were tortured and killed by Catholics and by Protestants...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    I’m neither Catholic nor Protestant. Do you think Catholics believe that I’m a Christian? Do you think I am a Christian? According to scripture, who does the territory which they occupy really belong to? The answer is in the New Testament, and it is based on a prophecy found in Genesis. You’ll...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    Catholics aren’t primitive Christians. Have you ever heard Protestants say that Catholics aren’t Christians? The occupying force is converted. The enemies of the Messiah are made his disciples. That’s the Great Commission. If that’s your position then forget them and their history. Look...

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    From my X / Twitter “Following” feed today - “The Quran gets its own founding completely wrong. Let me prove it to you: According to the Quran, Abraham built the Kaaba in Mecca, an event and a place that Genesis never mentions. Surah 2::227: ‘Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundations of the...

    “When we refuse to see the image of God in others, we prepare our hearts for violence. Racism and genocide begin not with weapons, but with a failure to love” - Henri Nouwen The crusaders didn’t love their enemies and their Islamic enemies didn’t love them. Do you love your enemies @Riven?

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    @Riven you’re looking, in part, for a Christianity which kills those who seek to kill it. There are other options for you besides Catholicism. I represent primitive Christianity, which didn’t and doesn’t kill those who seek to kill it.

    Catholic territory. What does that do for you? The primitive Christians also took action beyond to “just pray about it” -> evangelism. I read daily of the Roman Catholic Church attracting new members. Catholic sources should be consulted for that information. How interested in pursuing it...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    The mission of the Crusaders varied but, generally speaking, it was to defend the Catholic church-state. What is the value of that to you? What do you think is necessary that the Catholics aren’t doing? It’s out in the open now. Christianity began as a sect of Judaism. All of the other...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    So if the Crusaders had won, you would be pleased with them. What they defended - the belief and practice of Catholicism - isn’t the source of your displeasure with the Catholics. Christians must always oppose Islam. The religions are incompatible. Jesus and the apostles didn’t oppose Islam...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    The church underwent major change in the 4th century. Constantine’s Act of toleration in 313) lead to Theodosius I declaring Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire (in 380). Christianity became a nation of the world. Would you be pleased with the Crusaders if they had...
