    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Followers of Jesus slaughtering Muslims, Jews, and Christians (and / or other of our enemies) isn’t the way of the Messiah. I’m not pretending anything. Wait for the Messiah to return. That’s what the followers of Jesus did for the first three centuries of Christian history; that’s what...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I was already off your ignore list. I’ve acknowledged the reasons for the Crusades many times, and I’ve acknowledged that others here have too. In fact, I’ve offered more reasons for the Crusades than anyone else posting in this thread has. I condemn the actions of the Muslims and the...

    God didn’t send you to kill your enemies. The marines? They may have.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    How may people have you treated like the Crusaders treated the Muslims, Jews and Christians they slaughtered?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You aren’t accepting the Messiah’s way of living. You’re accepting and promoting the world’s way of living. You‘re following the example set by the crusaders and the Muslims. Human beings aren’t eggs. Don’t treat them like they are. People who break people will themselves be broken by people.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’re a man of violence. When is the last time you slapped someone? When is the last time you slaughtered someone?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The crusaders and the Muslims would have slaughtered @Wrangler. (The crusaders would have slaughtered him for not being a trinitarian; the Muslims would have slaughtered him because he was there to slaughter them.) No. Yes there would.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “The devil’s constant strategy is to seek to merge the church and the world so that the people of God lose their distinctiveness and be no longer ‘a city set upon a hill.’ The primary way of Satan to achieve this is to confuse what it means to be a Christian.” - Iain Murray Constantine marks a...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning - “Reminder: the Crusades were a response to over 400 years of Islamic aggression against Christians and Europe. 632: Muhammad dies. 635: Muslims conquer the Christian city off Damascus. 636: Muslims conquer the Christian city of Antioch. 637...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    That was Spurgeon. This is your commentary on him.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    No. Christ did not smite his enemies, nor did he throw evil people into fire. Yes. You are teaching people to be beastlike.
  16. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    All of them. Then listen again to what he says about not being beastlike. The Muslims were beastlike. The Crusaders were beastlike. To be beastlike is to be like the world. Christians are not to be beastlike.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Evil to evil is beastlike, and no Christian will indulge in it; but good for evil is Christlike, and we must practice it.” - C.H. Spurgeon Have you read Spurgeon @Wrangler? Have you @Armour of God? Have you really spent time reading about the Crusades? They were beastlike, not Christlike. My...
