Is this the way Jesus wants the world to view his followers? To a certain extent that’s how the Islamic world views Christianity. It’s etched into the collective memory of Muslims. @Wrangler is reinforcing that collective memory. That won’t make disciples for Jesus. It will only harden their...

I think that’s a reasonable summary. Christians who follow the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles don’t do to their enemies what Vlad did to his. Vlad tried to “out Muslim” the Muslims. The end justifies the means? (The Muslims took his head as a trophy.) Vlad had no interest in...

How can you read the commentary and not know about Vlad the Impaler? He’s a Christian hero and role model, according to @Wrangler. (The speaker in the video - who made some good points - doesn’t even so much as mention Vlad’s name in passing.) So am I.

War and rememberance. Confederate Memorial Day. Was and is a state holiday in Georgia. Does anyone here observe it?

Fought like a Muslim.

A word to Muslims. True Christians aren’t Vlad the Impaler. Know this: “Jesus lied. … You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” is not the teaching of genuine Christianity. It is the teaching of the evil one. If you kill true Christians then you are killing those who are...

This line of thinking has led you to approve of Christians killing fellow Christians.

“I am Vlad!” I see that you want to be and want others to be. I’m not Vlad and want no one to be. *** Christians: Be Jesus and the apostles to your enemies. That is why we are sent to them.

“Jesus lied” leads to “followers of Jesus must be willing to do bad things to bad men.” Cause and effect.

Proposition: Christianity teaches that followers of Jesus must be willing to do bad things to bad men. AI Overview - “That is incorrect; Christianity actually teaches the opposite. …” @Wrangler you are teaching the opposite of what Christianity teaches, and that is evil. Unless you repent...

“In the first centuries, Christianity flourished in North Africa. … The Christians of North Africa neglected just one duty: to win the Muslims for Christ. The result was that the Muslims invaded North Africa and uprooted Christianity for centuries. North Africa belongs to Muslims even now, and...
