It isn’t “fun” standing against the worldly-minded unitarian. He has surrendered his conscience to Caesar. It is my responsibility, the moral responsibility of all who “accept and believe in the Scriptures,” to oppose him in this matter.

They obeyed Caesar whenever they could do so without violating the teaching and preaching of Jesus and the apostles. Would you say that they were “antiChristian” and “men in form and not in substance” for not wielding the sword against their enemies? That’s right. I myself worked (as a civil /...

The Messiah will put a stop to them when he returns. Until then, which is to say, while we wait for him - something which the unitarian pointedly said that he would not do and Christians must not do - what are disciples of Jesus supposed to be doing? *** For the record, no one should get the...

Good on your teachers. That is the fault of the teachers whom you listened to. In that regard, they didn’t do good. Shall we now act like the Muslims? The Crusaders did. Shall we now label those who refuse to kill their enemies “antiChristian” and “men in form but not in substance”? The...

You who say that Roman Catholics aren’t Christians and that the Crusaders defended Christian land: the Crusaders did not defend Christian land; they defended Catholic land. They did it with ferocity that matched and in some details exceeded that of the Muslims.

Thank you. The Crusaders whom you extol would have killed you (and possibly done worse than that to you before they did) and told themselves they were serving God in doing so. @Wrangler pointed out to his readers that they were men who did not witness. They were men who acted like their enemy.

@Hazelelponi would you please address the “give to Caesar [who was not a Christian] what belongs to Caesar without any regard for what Jesus and the apostles taught / teach disciples to do” argument made by the guffawing unitarian?

I made that point earlier, and often, in this thread. There was a time in historic Christianity when Christians weren’t the government; when Christians were persecuted by the government. It was during that time that the apostles wrote. It was the duty of the Roman government - as it was the...

If that is true then it is an even greater indictment of the unitarian and non-unitarian men of violence. The Bible is readily available to most of mankind.

I’m reading a book written by A.W. Tozer that was recommended to me last night by a Christian member of the forum. Tozer quotes Revelation 2:10b (“Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”) The apostles and the early Christians who did not kill their...

I’m not a Buddha. I act like Jesus, the apostles and the early Christians when threatened with violence. I reject the temptation of the devil to kill my enemies, and because of that I’ve been labelled in this thread by a unitarian imitating the Roman Catholic Crusaders as being antiChristian...

The Crusaders killed their enemies - Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Do you support that?

Thank you for asking. I mean a Christianity that does to its enemies what Islam does to its enemies, rather than doing what Jesus, the apostles and the early Christians did to their enemies. True Christianity, not Islam, is the true religion of peace.

I’m not defending Islam. I’m standing against Christians who imitate Islam and teach others to believe that those who imitate the apostles and the early Christians are antiChristian. Islam isn’t the religion of peace. Christianity that imitates Islam isn’t a religion of peace. Christianity...

The apostles didn’t kill their enemies. The early Christians didn’t kill their enemies. They suffered and endured the persecution, even to the point of death. They didn’t deliver, or attempt to deliver, themselves by the sword. That’s Christian history. We’ve been asked in this thread to...

What is the market for the message “Live like a Christian, not like a Roman Catholic” on this platform? Visit the “Christians Only” forums for the answer. Fear of Islam tends to tamp that message down.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s the Middle Ages calling. There is a Crusader rapping, gently tap, tap, tapping at your door. Are you Roman Catholic?, he inquires. No? Then you are about to be subjected to the brutality of Islam, the religion of peace, Roman Catholic style. You protest, you’re a...

Why are non-Muslims skeptical that Islam is “the religion of peace”?

“Centuries ago unbelieving men thought they could stamp out the Christian gospel by parading those transformed, born-again followers of Jesus to the places of their violent torture and executions. Soon the unfeeling executioners began to feel something in the presence of joyful victory over...
