    So would I. How would you do it? Would you do it the same way that Jesus and the apostles defended themselves, their families and other innocent people? Would you do it the same way Vlad did? Would you do it some other way?

    Would you treat them in the same way that Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies if you ever do? Vlad knew Islamic Jihadists. Would you treat them in the same way that Vlad did? Do you think @Wrangler knows any Islamic Jihadis? Do you think I do?

    I don’t speak for all pacifist Christians but I don’t roll over for Islamic Jihadis, and I don’t know any pacifist Christians who do. Islamic Jihadis are our enemies. I treat them in the same way that Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies. I teach and preach that all followers of Jesus...

    A man killing a human being doesn’t prove that the man is masculine. All it proves is that the man is a killer of human beings. It doesn’t get any more masculine than Jesus of Nazareth. He killed no one. He taught no follower to kill or to otherwise harm their enemies. ”I am Jesus to my...

    Jesus and the apostles surely must be the example for followers of Jesus of what it means to be masculine. They didn’t treat their enemies the way Vlad treated his enemies. Vlad wasn’t feminized, but neither did he model the masculinity of Jesus and the apostles. Teaching the followers of...

    Did you mean to say you “disregarded the commentary”? Yes. That’s right. No one will learn anything about Vlad from the video.

    Is this the way Jesus wants the world to view his followers? To a certain extent that’s how the Islamic world views Christianity. It’s etched into the collective memory of Muslims. @Wrangler is reinforcing that collective memory. That won’t make disciples for Jesus. It will only harden their...

    I think that’s a reasonable summary. Christians who follow the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles don’t do to their enemies what Vlad did to his. Vlad tried to “out Muslim” the Muslims. The end justifies the means? (The Muslims took his head as a trophy.) Vlad had no interest in...

    How can you read the commentary and not know about Vlad the Impaler? He’s a Christian hero and role model, according to @Wrangler. (The speaker in the video - who made some good points - doesn’t even so much as mention Vlad’s name in passing.) So am I.

    A word to Muslims. True Christians aren’t Vlad the Impaler. Know this: “Jesus lied. … You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” is not the teaching of genuine Christianity. It is the teaching of the evil one. If you kill true Christians then you are killing those who are...

    Thanks for reading his commentary on the video. You‘ve gone with him. Muslim propaganda: Christians are Vlad the Impaler. Kill them.

    This line of thinking has led you to approve of Christians killing fellow Christians.

    “I am Vlad!” I see that you want to be and want others to be. I’m not Vlad and want no one to be. *** Christians: Be Jesus and the apostles to your enemies. That is why we are sent to them.
