    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Why? Because you’ve misunderstood my position from the beginning. It is a lie. I‘ve condemned the actions of Islamic forces numerous times. Why do you not know that? Because you haven’t read my posts where I have. No. I’ve stated explicitly that the followers of Jesus must never give way to...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    I’m not ever opposed to righteous actions. What I am opposed to are teachings and actions which are touted as righteous but conflict with the teaching and practice of Jesus and the apostles. *** “Jesus lied.” That’s not righteous; that’s evil. It’s manifested on this forum. Do you recognize...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Then you haven’t read my posts about Muslims / Islam. I expect unbelievers to act as the Muslims do. My expectation of Christians is far different, and much higher, than it is of Muslims. No, I’m not a Muslim sympathizer. You’re obviously not aware of my conversations with @Behold (in...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    “Faith in Jesus is the best cure for every care, the best balm for every wound.” - C.H. Spurgeon @Wrangler @Armour of God Only a fool puts his trust in someone whom they are convinced lies, and only an enemy of Jesus would believe and teach others that Jesus lied.

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    I don’t know what he says about the president. It’s not easy for me to defend @Wrangler, and I wouldn’t go so far as to call it his motto - though it might be fair to say that it is -but I will say to his credit: he doesn’t deny that he teaches followers of Jesus (and anyone else who will listen...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    I know that many didn’t (and won’t) watch the video posted in the OP. If you didn’t, but you read what the author of the OP wrote in post #1, you might have come away thinking that the speaker in the video is extolling Vlad. He isn’t. He doesn’t even so much as mention Vlad’s name. Did...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    The speaker makes some very good points, yet still advocates for acting contrary to the way which Jesus and the apostles taught and modeled. One thing he doesn’t do, at least not in this video: he doesn’t encourage his listeners to imitate Vlad.

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    More from your favorite pacifist Christian author - “A Christian should be like Christ in his boldness. Never blush to own your religion.” - C.H. Spurgeon Vlad the Impaler was bold but he wasn’t like Christ. Search Spurgeon’s writings. You won’t find him urging his congregation to imitate...

    QUOTE for the day

    “Believers, do not expect the world to love you. They hated Jesus first, and they will hate his truth. Stand firm in the faith and do not compromise.” - Trevor Sheatz

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    I brought your accusations to the attention of my pastor. My ministerial license would have been revoked if what you (and your unitarian friend) say about me is true.

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    The government of any nation or kingdom is responsible for protecting its people. The government in Paul’s day was headed by Nero, not a follower of Jesus. Of course. You act as if that’s something new. It isn’t. The problem isn’t that the government defended its people. The problem is that...
