    Reason for The Crusades explained

    While those two are busy entertaining themselves by slandering me in this thread - and at least one other thread which I only learned about due to receiving a notification that I was mentioned there - I want to encourage my readers to read the history of the Crusades. Despite what you’ve heard...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You either haven’t read my posts in this thread (which means you’re speaking out of ignorance) or you have read them (which means you’re intentionally trying to harm my reputation.) Virtually none of what you have said about me in your post is true. Thank you for posting it in this thread...

    Post in thread 'Bill Warner, PhD: Jihad vs Crusades' Bill Warner, PhD: Jihad vs Crusades Please notice two things, readers: 1. I’m not a Muslim apologist. 2. The member who slandered me is trying to mislead you. He posted this in a thread he started in a “Christians Only” forum, knowing full...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I wasn’t expecting anyone here to rise in my defense but I appreciate the fact that you did. Thank you. Yes, I would. As do many other Christian pastors and laypersons. I defend Christianity and I criticize Christianity. This may be seen in many of my posts.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Caesar, if you’re listening, a message: If you order me to kill my enemies the answer is no. There are plenty of people who will, or say that they will, kill yours / theirs.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    He would kill me if Caesar told him to. He would kill you too if Caesar told him to. Jesus isn’t going to tell me to kill him in the present age. In the age to come, he might. If he does, I would do it. I’ve already addressed that. My work is to preach Messiah to the Muslims (and others), not...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    He’s chosen not to answer many of the questions I’ve asked him. I don’t know it for a fact but I doubt he would answer the one you’re suggesting. It’s deeply personal and he’s proud of his Roman Catholic ancestors. I think he wants to leave it at that.

    It really is that serious.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    When I asked @Armour of God if he was Roman Catholic he replied that his parents are. That guarded / deflective response suggests that he isn’t a Roman Catholic. (Good for him, if that’s the case.) The Crusaders may have died for their fellow Catholics (they killed Roman Catholics too - he’s...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    It’s the spirit of Antichrist, not the spirit Christ, who wants the followers of Jesus to slaughter themselves and their enemies in war @Armour of God.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    That’s right. When he returns there is going to be massive bloodshed. When he is ruling from his father David’s throne in Jerusalem for a thousand years, I will be in his government. If he commands me to kill then, I will. That’s the age to come. In the meantime, he (along with the apostles)...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A painting of a US Civil War battle scene. That’s not what loving your enemy looks like @Armour of God.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Test the spirits (1 John 4:1). The real Messiah doesn’t contradict his own teaching.
  14. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    What your ancestors did (mine did it too) was disobey the teaching of Jesus and the apostles on how followers of Jesus are to treat their enemies and respond to evil. It is never right to disobey the teaching of Jesus and the apostles, on this issue or any other. He saw a vision but it wasn’t...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    He would kill me and he would kill you @Armour of God if the US government ordered him to. (He justifies it - which you would see in this thread if you took the time to do it - as “rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.”) Would you kill me and would you kill him if the Australian government...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    What I preach is obedience to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles in all circumstances. I’ve addressed this multiple times with you.

    QUOTE for the day

    “Let us never be surprised at the wickedness that there is in the world. Let us mourn over it, and labor to make it less; but let us never be surprised at its magnitude. There is no wickedness which the heart of man is not capable of conceiving, or the hand of man doing.” - J.C. Ryle

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    That’s false. You know that pacifism isn’t the same as passive and that pacifism covers a wide spectrum. What you don’t know is that if Jesus ordered me to kill you, I would do so in a heartbeat.
