Yea, someone who takes justice seriously. All you ever do is pay it lip service in theory but denigrate it in practice.

Because Christiandom has become over-spiritualized, they have: Rejected our soulful needs Deemed everything of the body, flesh, carnal and sinful. Notice the context of "Galatians 5:17" is "desires" of the flesh, not needs of the body. Big difference. Jesus said man does not live on bread...

It only took you 887 posts to admit this. Still, you deny this is the reason for Christ's soulful commands to buy a sword and give to Caesar.

Total Strawman. What is it with you and your obsession with hijacking this thread?

Where are your posts of the centuries of slaughter causing the Crusades?

It's true and the reason for the Crusades.

You only stand because there are Christians who reject your pacifism. Otherwise, you'd be slaughtered as kafirs by Jihadi's.

Again with the enslaved mindset. Why do you keep ignoring there where the Lord is, there is freedom, 2 Corinthians 3:17? Plus, there is plenty of sanction detailed in Scripture as summarized by these posts. You're just in denial.

What does give to Caesar what is Caesar mean to you in practice as it pertains to military service of killing people? Nothing.

Blatantly contradicting yourself. You claim to have provided the reasons FOR the Crusades in ‘multiple posts’ and in THE VERY SAME POST confess you haven’t defended the crusaders in any posts. You are so over—spiritualized, you cannot even intellectually acknowledge the reasons other devoted...

Oh? What post was that? I seem to recall you launched into immediate condemnation and couldn't even explain what your principle objection was to the Crusades. Here is the earliest post from you. Not defending the Crusaders is EXACTLY what you've done for 44 pages. Not once providing the...

Stop hijacking the thread. This thread is about the reasons FOR the Crusades. Seems you want to talk about anything but. Deflection. Odd fanaticism for a pacifist.

Suffering injustice is no excuse to do DO JUSTICE yourself. What kind of victim mentality is that?

Agreed. Like him slaughtering all his enemies as the first order of business upon his return. Do I have that Scripture correct?

No but your argument against Scripture principles in practice, like doing justice, buying a sword and using it IS a Strawman.

No! You and the over-spiritualized have been overcome by the spirit of the world. Made yourselves irrelevant. Jesus said to pluck out our eye if it causes us to do evil. That is soulful. He's not talking some spiritual allusion but bodily commitment. This sort of violence offends your delicate...

Someone has to. The book of Job is informative. God does not apologize or squirm from the unfolding atrocities he was a part of. As one Pastor put it, some Christians try to take God off the hook. He is perfectly comfortable on the hook and can take it. I form the light, and create darkness: I...

Strawman. Your pacifism does rationalize why Christians should violate Scripture and NOT do justice.

No. That's the over-spiritualized talking point! I'm not talking about "seen as" impractical. I'm saying the Bible IS extraordinarily practical and the over-spiritualized pretend their is no practical application to the soulful needs of God's children, for justice, for instance.

I will pray for you. I believe "love" is a translation error. The more precise word is compassion, which is universal. Love is naturally virtue dependent. That's what we love about other people and things. My car is dependable. I love it. My wife is loyal. I love it. When they fail to be...
