    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I treat you like Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies. You treat me like @Wrangler treats his enemies. Following the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles is only stupidity in the eyes of the world.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Followup note: We could not agree that killing our noncombatant enemies isn’t doing good to all people. Why? Killing noncombatants and principles of Just War theory. “7. The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and noncombatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of...

    “Never denounce a thing about which you know nothing.” - Oswald Chambers That’s wise counsel. If you want to denounce what I’ve written about the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, you should read it first. *** Speaking of reading. Have you read My Utmost For His Highest?
