This reveals an enslaved mindset. Nowhere are we told to use the internet, but here we are. And more to the point, here YOU are. :oops: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Freedom is being able to do anything that is not prohibited; freedom is NOT only doing what you are told to do.

And then you will be an apologist for Christians warring, including the Battle of Tours 732 and the Crusades? LOL This question reveals you have not read or understood Scripture at all. Ever read my signature? He trains my hands for war. 2 Samuel 22:35 Do you suppose this training has no...

So what? They were considered beneath a Roman. You’re taking the history of being a subject and pretending it is dogmatic way to live as a citizen. Give to Caesar, what is Caesar’s has no practical application in your world view.

Reinforcement against your propaganda. You keep demonstrating agreement in theory that the Crusades are part of church history while in practice, posting "church history" that excludes them. A casual reader happening upon your posts in this thread might think this thread is reasons AGAINST the...

Not sure why you keep making these kinds of posts. For every exception to the rule, there are 100,000's who served in the military HONORABLY doing their duty in killing and assisting those who killed. The over-spiritualized implication of posts such as this is false, that only those who don't...

Lot of negatives in that sentence. I do find it funny the desperate Appeal to Authority in going to AI to make your case that a Christian should not follow Christ's commands! LOL

The Crusades is Church history.

More over-spiritualized gobbledygook.

Before we get into that, I'm curious to know your answer to the thread question, the reasons FOR the Crusades? Regarding disagreements politically and doctrinally, I'm not sure the Crusades were battles against other Christian denominations - unless you are playing word games - since the...

More and more with each exchange with you. hlf

Not really an answer to the questions at hand.

Projecting. You admitted Jesus did not command us to buy a sword so it could collect dust. o_O You keep saying one thing in theory but another in practice. The bold teaching comes from the Messiah, implied is ”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.“ It's really the...

Good. Paul taught we must die daily. Christ told us we must pick up our cross. I’m surprised a spiritual man, such as yourself, cannot grasp this. Willful ignorance?

You’ve made dozens of posts like this personally attacking me. Let me just say that no matter how wretched my soul is, it doesn’t detract from the reasons FOR the Crusades. You on the other hand, are like the Pharisee praying to God that you’re morally superior and not wretched like me.

Nope. Not all your posts are troll like. Christ taught us to have discernment to be wise like serpents. You really ought to consider the principle of justice and the soulful needs of the human condition. It’s not all about spirituality and being as harmless as doves … So many passages in...

Pathetic. I’m so grateful that you are coming around. Modern day Christianity owes its existence to the Crusades and the like, not to weak men, over-spiritualized to the hilt pretending to have moral superiority while owing their lives to those who reject their pacifist world view. I know I...

Tax the bad. Subsidize the good. I look forward to my prayers being answered in reading your honest answers to these questions tomorrow: What are the reasons FOR the Crusades? What is your primary objection to the Crusades? If attending to soulful, worldly and fleshy needs is inherently...

Wrong on every level. “Separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution and re-setting the entangling precedents, including ending birth right citizenship, is part of what makes MAGA revolutionary. America is and always was a Christian nation. It’s our first duty to pledge...

No. More like not discussed since the Crusaders did not merely buy swords while committing to keep them sheathed at all times no matter what. The deterrent is NOT the gun is concealed or the sword is sheathed that keeps the predator at bay. Everyone knows, criminals prefer an unarmed society...
