@Armour of God your unitarian confederate on this subject believes and teaches the following: “You are not following Jesus if you are not armed, ready to kill.“ Are you armed, ready to kill? Is everyone whom you know and consider to be a follower of Jesus armed, ready to kill?

He chose not to respond to my question. Again, that’s fine. Let the story remain untold. When someone breaks away from the religion of his or her ancestors, there’s always a reason that they do. No one does that without seeing something amiss with that religion. It can be something major, it...

I pointed out in this thread the “other things” the Crusaders did. The atrocities they committed rivaled the atrocities committed by the Muslims. I sympathize neither with the Muslims nor with the Crusaders.

The response I received to this post didn’t address the point that I made. I’m open to changing my mind about what I wrote if someone would point out to me where in scripture Jesus and Paul taught the followers of Jesus to pillage, plunder, etc. their enemies.

He chose not to. That’s fine. This is a conversation, not an inquisition. The full armor of God doesn’t include the weapons of the world.

No. Post in thread 'What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God' What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God The world is full of evil powers. I have stated in this thread that it is the God-given responsibility of governments to protect and defend their citizens. I agree. Let the...

A review of my posts in this thread (not to mention other threads) is all that one needs do to evaluate and dismiss your accusation. Without taking up the weapons of the world against the attacker. I would like for others to defend themselves and their families in the same way that I would...

It was required reading when I was in high school in the 70’s. I’m a conscientious objector. I read military stories but not for enjoyment. If you haven’t read this one, I highly recommend it.

He chose not to respond. That’s fine. I’ll respond as if he had posed the questions to me. Based on Islamic history, no. Based on Christian history, no. This one requires caution and thoughtful consideration. Based on the teachings of the prophets, the Messiah and the apostles, yes. Yes.

My 20th great grandfather on my mother’s side of the family is depicted in the movie Braveheart. I’ll leave it to my readers to guess, if they care to: A. William Wallace or B. King Edward II. Am I proud of him? No. Why? He didn’t obey the teaching of Jesus and the apostles.

No, I’m not a Muslim sympathizer. Talk to me about the full armor of God.

Thanks. *** Jesus didn’t teach his disciples to pillage, plunder, etc. Neither did Paul. Both Jesus and Paul provide explicit instruction on how followers of Jesus are to live and respond to evil. The Crusaders are not an example of that teaching.

Those places would welcome my wallet, not me.

As you see it, is that the way Jesus instructed his followers to live?
