    Reason for The Crusades explained

    ”This chapter will detail the rise of Pope Urban II, and his call to Crusade on November 27, 1095 at the Council of Clermont. We shall attempt to provide a narrative for what is arguably the darkest day in Christian history - the day Christianity declared a jihad. The terrifying consequences of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’ve been asked dozens of questions that you’ve refused to answer. If not answering a question shows not standing for truth … you convicted yourself.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    When the knock comes at my door, I hope it is @Wrangler. I want him to see with his own eyes how a follower of Jesus dies at his hand. (If he can round up @Armour of God and bring him along, so much the better.)

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Do unto those who don’t follow Jesus what those who don’t follow Jesus would do unto you.” An evil word whispered in our ears, a suggestion brought to us by the enemy of our souls.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Thanks for elaborating. Something much better is in store for those who obey the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles than for those who don’t.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Even those who support the Crusades commonly concede that it is a dark period in Christian history. To be sad that it ended is warring madness. It yearns to deliver suffering and death to millions upon millions of men women and children, Christian and non-Christian, combatant and non-combatant...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Thanks. I‘m commenting on your post only to draw attention to your word “sadly” to my readers. You want - and that’s putting it mildly - a modern Crusade.

    You’ll have to be more specific than that.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’ve commented elsewhere that I’m stuck in the 1st century. I’m a 1st century primitive Christian living in the 21st century. What Jesus and the Apostles taught and modeled then is as binding on the followers of Jesus in this century as it was in the 1st century. That is what I believe, teach...

    Yes, God knows what they said and did. The average Christian doesn’t.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler and @Armour of God are either of you familiar with what Martin Luther wrote about the Crusades? “In his pamphlet’s On War Against the Turks (1529) and Military Sermon Against the Turks 1530), Luther clarified his position on the Christian response to Islam. Most significantly, he...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I read the following on my X / Twitter “For you” feed a couple of days ago - “During the Nuremberg Trials, Herman Goering gave an interview to psychologist Gustave Gilbert and said: ’Of course the people don’t want war. Why would some poor farmer want to risk his life in a war when the best he...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Pacifists actively oppose evil, no matter who is committing it. See the example of Jesus and the Apostles in scripture. See the example of the early Christians, including, but not limited to, the martyrs. Read my posts. I have written “with the same passion and condemnation against Jihadi’s”...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You are bearing false witness against me. I’m willing to believe at the moment that you are doing it out of ignorance. I’ve told you the truth about my registration designation and you can verify for yourself that what I told you is the truth. If you continue to bear false witness against me...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler doesn’t want you, me or anyone else here to know the name of the church he attends @Armour of God but he hasn’t concealed from anyone the fact that he is a unitarian, as you can see from the screen shot. He and I have much in common. How we are to treat our enemies isn’t one of them...
