    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Returning to the Christian speaker in the video contained in post #1 - “Because they [Muslims] don’t like the truth.” All Muslims? The speaker appears to present the same attitude that was expressed to me several times in this thread. That attitude is patently false. Muslims have been, are...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    They didn’t act to keep Christianity viable. As for our generation, it‘s suffering from the curse of war. Christianity is viable in the face of persecution because of the teaching and practice of Jesus and the apostles lived over the centuries by followers who acted toward their enemies the way...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    At the 5:07 mark in the video, the Christian speaker says this - “Ladies and gentlemen. Now notice. The Muslim that asked the question didn’t even bother to listen to the answer.” The speaker is right. The Muslim’s work was done. He quite clearly wasn’t interested in the answer. Who was the...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The Christian speaker caused a “MELTDOWN” and some - including the speaker himself, apparently - see that as a reason to celebrate. He “struck” the Muslim again and again with selected facts about the Crusades, and with selected facts about Islamic history. He was armed to the teeth with facts...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    When does the opportunity to present the gospel to unbelievers occur? When the unbeliever, the enemy, is in the presence of the follower of Jesus. The crusader kills the enemy. The follower of Jesus blesses the enemy. Romans 5:10

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    There is no except. Jesus and the apostles weren’t “armed, ready to kill.” The choice: Follow them or follow the crusaders.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Every time I give last rights to a World War II Vet, I assume it’s going to be my last time doing so. When I was a young priest, it was much more common but onviously these men are few in number. Particularly for men who fought in the Pacific campaign, a lot comes to the forefront as death...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Will you be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove on the next crusade?, Crusader recruiter. Why do I ask? Because you were neither of those in the crusades of the past.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “I am sending you like lambs into a pack of wolves.“ (Matthew 10:16, CEV) The lamb of God sending his lambs, his followers, into a pack of wolves. Harmless as doves. What happened to the Lamb of God when he was sent into a pack of wolves? What happened to the lambs of God, the apostles...
