I understand much more than you think I do. The Crusaders didn’t kill for me, nor did they die for me.

“Christianity explains why human beings matter.” - John Lennox

I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t. I would.

You don’t know that. I would be wherever God wanted me to be. They would have killed me, a believing Jewish monotheist, on sight, just as they killed unbelieving Jewish monotheists on sight. They raped, tortured, killed and plundered Muslims, Jews, Byzantine Christians and even fellow Roman...

@Armour of God would you say that the phrase “harmless as doves” is an appropriate description of Muslims? Would you say that the phrase “harmless as doves” is an appropriate description of the Crusaders? Would you say that the phrase “harmless as doves” is an appropriate description of the...

The glory goes to God and to the Messiah, not to the disobedient Crusaders. They were every bit as evil and vicious as were the Muslims, and in some cases worse.

God, I‘ve suggested, defended Europe and Christianity. It wasn’t overrun by Islam. He used men who did not follow the teaching and example of Jesus to defeat men who did not follow the teaching and example of Jesus to accomplish his purpose. Always obey the instruction and example of Jesus...

“Your theology won’t be proven in the classroom, but in the hard times of life.” - Josemar Bessa

“It is often a strategic mistake to silence a man, because it leaves the world under the impression that he had something to say.” - G.K. Chesterton

I’ve visited both. The Jews were uncomfortable at the prospect of my presence when they cursed the Nazarene and his followers in that part of their service. Knowing that it was coming, they asked me (politely insisted) to step out until it was over. I was escorted back into the service and...

That’s true. Have you ever visited a synagogue? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkat_haMinim

In respect to the brave, who is braver? Those who obey the teachings of Jesus or those who do not?
