    If it will ease your mind any, I say that he should be included too.

    David slaughtered his enemies. The apostles and disciples of Jesus didn’t slaughter theirs. There is a reason why Jesus taught his followers not to treat their enemies like David treated his.

    Why do you think Jesus instructed his followers to treat their enemies in a way which David didn’t treat his?

    @RLT63 do you think of Islamic Jihadis in terms of being human beings who need to hear the gospel and come to Jesus? Are you familiar with Jim Elliot’s story? Are head hunting cannibals better than, worse than, or equal with Islamic Jihadis? Does it matter which group attacks you, your...

    They were attacked by unbelieving Jews and pagans. What is the difference between being attacked by unbelieving Jews, pagans, and Islamic Jihadis? The same harm is inflicted in all cases. The party attacked will be just as wounded by one group as they are by the others. Jesus and the apostles...

    David didn’t follow Vlad’s example. David also didn’t follow the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus requires more from his followers.

    If Islamic Jihadis ever attack you, your family, some other innocent person or persons, it won’t be with a blade of grass. Would you do “anything it takes” to defend against the Islamic Jihadis? Even if that act involves not following the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles?

    So would I. How would you do it? Would you do it the same way that Jesus and the apostles defended themselves, their families and other innocent people? Would you do it the same way Vlad did? Would you do it some other way?

    Would you treat them in the same way that Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies if you ever do? Vlad knew Islamic Jihadists. Would you treat them in the same way that Vlad did? Do you think @Wrangler knows any Islamic Jihadis? Do you think I do?

    I don’t speak for all pacifist Christians but I don’t roll over for Islamic Jihadis, and I don’t know any pacifist Christians who do. Islamic Jihadis are our enemies. I treat them in the same way that Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies. I teach and preach that all followers of Jesus...

    A man killing a human being doesn’t prove that the man is masculine. All it proves is that the man is a killer of human beings. It doesn’t get any more masculine than Jesus of Nazareth. He killed no one. He taught no follower to kill or to otherwise harm their enemies. ”I am Jesus to my...

    Jesus and the apostles surely must be the example for followers of Jesus of what it means to be masculine. They didn’t treat their enemies the way Vlad treated his enemies. Vlad wasn’t feminized, but neither did he model the masculinity of Jesus and the apostles. Teaching the followers of...

    Did you mean to say you “disregarded the commentary”? Yes. That’s right. No one will learn anything about Vlad from the video.
