I want to say something here about Ergun and Emir Caner. From the excerpts of their book which I have been quoting from, one might be left with the impression that they are pacifists. They are highly critical of the Crusades, but they are not pacifists. ”… it is one thing to have Christians in...

I don’t know what @Wrangler and @Armour of God think about it - they don’t have an issue with Christians killing Christians - but the crusaders were none to happy that the Christians whom they were sent to help had allied with the Turks against them. “Enraged by Alexis’s deception, the...

While it’s fresh on your mind that Urban used an appeal for his help from Alexis, I want to bring to your attention an incident from the First Crusade before I forget it. In regard to the battle for Nicea in 1097 - ”At the battlefield, the Christian forces numbered a quarter of a million men...

“On Tuesday, November 27, 1095, Urban sounded the summons for what would be a centuries-long movement. In Constantinople, Alexis had requested aid from the pope, and Urban saw this as his great opportunity. ... One of the chroniclers of the historic synod, Robert the Monk, reported that Urban...

It is the church which @Wrangler and his concealed identity church fight / war against, supported by @Armour of God. I’m glad you mentioned salvation. Pope Urban had a twist on that too, as I will shortly go on to demonstrate using the Caners’ book Christian Jihad.

Pope Urban reinstated the Truce of God at the Council of Clermont. Are you familiar with it? (It will be of little, if any, interest to @Wrangler.) ”Urban reinstated the ‘truce’ so that he could inaugurate a war and still maintain the appearance of restraining violence. The ten points of Truce...

Anything passing for Christianity that doesn’t align with the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles will fall @Armour of God. Neither Jesus nor the Apostles instructed the followers of the Messiah to kill their enemies. He and they taught us to love our enemies, and that’s what evangelizing them is.

Do you have any idea about how many Christians stand against the teaching of Roman Catholicism and its bloody history? It’s true that some people, many people, would love to see Christianity fall. I’m not one of them, and it isn’t going to fall.

I haven’t expressed a false dichtomy. “You have heard that it was said, but I say to you …” - Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, Son of God. Listen to Jesus and the Apostles. Follow their example. As history documents, the earliest Christians loved and obeyed the teaching of Jesus and the...

What you and your concealed identity church allege against me you allege against all Christians who stand against what was done by both Muslims and Christians in the Crusades. You’re misusing scripture to verbally abuse not just me but all who obey the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles. ”We...

I’m teaching, not projecting. No. Everything isn’t worth dying for. What did the Apostles and the early Christians die for? My family takes heart that I obey, teach, and preach the instruction of Jesus and the Apostles. Flies aren’t human beings. No one is commissioned by Jesus to...

That, of course, isn’t true. Jesus gave the teaching and set the example of not killing our enemies for his followers. The Apostles and the early Christians perpetuated the teaching and followed the example. No one who follows the teaching of Jesus and Apostles is yawning over terrorist...

The headline in the Daily Mail reads: Religious leaders told ‘prepare now’ for UFO disclosure to unleash Bible-changing revelations https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-15792747/religious-leaders-ufo-disclosure-bible.html If you’re interested, read the article. If you’re concerned...

“The Bible will never be rewritten for your feelings.” - Scott Roberts

“If you’re a grandparent who buys books for your grandchildren, you are quietly doing one of the most important things in their lives. A book from a grandparent feels different to a book from school. It feels chosen. Personal. Not a duty. That changes everything.” - Kevin McLeod

“One thousand years of history - complete with persecution, pacifism, reluctant participation, and Just War parameters - was swept aside, and the ‘Army of God’ conquered the Muslim forces in Acre, Antioch, and finally Jerusalem.” (Christian Jihad, p. 104) @Wrangler and his concealed church...

”LeMay said if we had lost the war we’d all have been prosecuted as war criminals. And I think he’s right. He, and I’d say I, were behaving as war criminals. LeMay recognized that what he was doing would be thought immoral if his side had lost. But what makes it immoral if you lose and not...

The Crusaders slaughtered Muslims, Jews, and Christians. What point are you trying to make in your post?

“The Crusades were mostly a failure. Even from a strictly military point of view, only one was successful, and that success did not last very long. Some of the Crusades were detoured from their original purpose and did even more damage to the relations between the Eastern and Western churches...
