Thanks. “You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” What do you think about this doctrine?

Thanks. Roman Catholic / Catholic appears to be the common denominator.

As a good soldier of Caesar too?

Being a Christian conscientious objector myself, I’m naturally interested in how nations treat CO’s during times of war. https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/military/conscientious-objectors-ww1 An article I’ve been reading this morning.

What specifically makes Vlad and Constantine imposters in your eyes?

So we appear to be in agreement that Christians were killing Christians in the war.

From the OP - “Christian hero Prince Vlad” That’s Vlad the Impaler. Do you think Vlad could be an example of someone who called himself a Christian but wasn’t?

Christians with “little choice but to be vicious with little empathy”. Let’s think about that. Is that what Jesus wants for his followers? *** Just as an aside, during the Ante Nicene period of Church history, a man like York would be prohibited from serving in the ministry.
