This man is a pacifist, and his position on Christians killing their enemies is identical to mine. You won’t recognize him but you’ve already told us what you think about him -> he’s a supporter of lawlessness; he’s a Muslim sympathizer; he would rather see evil reign and Christianity die; he...

I love your appeal to the parable of the sower. I’ve used it often myself; in threads pertaining to the Crusades … Post in thread 'Reason for The Crusades explained' Reason for The Crusades explained … as well as in threads unrelated to the Crusades. I agree. God will certainly sort it out...

I heard you and I liked your post. I presume that you didn’t see that.

My first thought upon reading this were the words of Arnaud Almaric, who said during the Albigensian Crusade - “Kill them all, for God knows which are his own.” A Catholic commander, a papal legate and inquisitor, ordering Catholic crusaders to kill all Catholics and non-Catholics residing in...

Did that solve the problem? No. A replacement was found. What happened to the replacement? Did that solve the problem? No. A replacement was found. What happened to … It’s an endless cycle of violence. The heart of a Muslim isn’t changed by killing Islamic military leaders. That hardened...

I don’t know if he was or he wasn’t. What I know is that he isn’t. What does God think of that? Ezekiel 33:11. What do you think of that? What might have happened if Bob the Builder (post #165) had evangelized him?

Have any “insane radical Islamists” ever been saved? If so, how did it happen? @Debp posted this video as the OP in one of her threads (“Reasons for The Crusades explained”). I keep coming back to it. The speaker has a ministry outside of what he does in the video. He evangelizes imprisoned...

God wants all men to be saved. That includes Muslims. That doesn’t mean that all men - Muslim or non-Muslim - will be saved, but it does mean that the gospel of peace has to be offered to them. That’s not the role, the mission, of state government. That’s the role, the mission, of the followers...

Scripture doesn’t contradict scripture.

It isn’t the role of state government to evangelize Muslims. Paul didn’t know anything at all about Islam or Muslims, but he knew about the role of national government and the role of the followers of Jesus. He neither confused the roles nor mixed them. “Different individuals will give you a...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning - “SBC Megachurch plays George Thorogood’s ‘Bad To The Bone’ for a mid-church service interlude, to help make their Father’s Day church weekend a ‘testosterone packed service.’” https://x.com/protestia/status/2069407591910846833?s=61 I don’t...

Jesus’ command to his followers to love our enemies does not restrain government from protecting their own people.

“When pain comes, what sustains our heart is not understanding everything that God does, but remembering who He is: Sovereign in His power, perfect in His love, and wise in everything that He allows.” - Jerry Bridges

“If you do not love the Bible, you certainly do not love the God who gave it to us.” - C.H. Spurgeon A word of encouragement for the weary soul. Spend time daily reading the Bible, given to us out of love by the God of Israel. Doing so is a way of demonstrating your love of our heavenly Father.

That’s a solid Christian response to the false teaching I quoted.

I answered the question I asked. Did the apostles defend themselves against evil? If so - I maintain that they did - how did they do it?

See the history of the early church. Victory to the followers of Jesus is guaranteed in scripture. Believing and following the teaching and practice of Jesus and the apostles is the Christian‘s pathway to victory.
