    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Wrangler put me on ignore months ago, imposter. *Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge. * Everyone you’ve called a coward has turned out in truth to be brave. I know you won’t but you really should think about that. Meet me on the dueling ground at sunrise. Come armed, ready to kill an unarmed Christian...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    Sound words. Well said. Loud (but not too loud) and clear. You see the danger and sounded an alarm. (A lot of people should have sounded an alarm. Only a few have.) You have his best interest in mind. Your alarm fell on deaf ears. You still did the right thing. Well done. I believe Jesus is...

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    He should be but he isn’t. When @Wrangler told you that he doesn’t accept your premise, he meant exactly what he said. Vlad truly is Christlike in his eyes.

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    I’ve been reading you for many years now, so what I’m about to say isn’t based only on what you’ve written in this thread. When you see Vlad the Impaler, you really do think you see Jesus. This isn’t a “let me get their attention by shocking them” gimmick. You‘re telling your readers exactly...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Let me share another “stupid little boy” story with you @Armour of God. “A pastor by the name of Florescu was tortured with red-hot iron pokers and with knives. He was beaten very badly. Then starving rats were driven into his cell through a large pipe. He could not sleep because he had to...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    What man would be attacking my family with a sword in the middle ages? A Muslim? I would fight the Muslim the same way I would fight a non-Muslim. A Jew? I would fight a Jew the same way I would fight a non-Jew. A Christian? Why would a Christian attack the family of a Christian pastor? A...

    The coffee thread

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    “A faithful pastor doesn’t lead his people in how to keep persecution from happening. A faithful pastor leads his people to be ready to patiently endure whatever persecution may come, and in the end, to stand.” - Tyler Campbell (ex-pastor, he says about himself)...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    @Armour of God are you familiar with Desmond Doss? If not, you should Google him. @Wrangler wasn’t. He is now. Doss, a pacifist, the subject of the movie Hacksaw Ridge, was one of the bravest men who ever walked the face of God’s good earth. Wrangler, even after learning about him says Doss (by...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    You are my enemy, @Armour of God. And you are infinitely worth having a conversation with. Like the Catholic warriors whom you celebrate, you would kill your enemy -> be your enemy Muslim, Jew or Christian. You would kill @Wrangler in the scenario of his nation warring against yours. Would you...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    We are not alike. Do not kill your enemy. Evangelize him. AI Overview had this to say about my attitude toward my enemy - “Choosing to evangelize an enemy instead of destroying them shifts the focus from hostility to transformation, echoing Matthew 5:44 to love and pray for those who oppose...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    You haven’t put me on ignore @Wrangler. You‘ve put the question on ignore. Counterfeit Christianity No genuine Christian will be killed by Jesus. No genuine Christian will be thrown into the lake of fire. Counterfeit Christians - people who say they are Christian but are not - are on the path...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    The USA could turn your country, any country, into a thermonuclear wasteland. *** You and @Wrangler could meet on opposite sides of a battlefield one day. You’re both willing to kill one another in that scenario. You’re both willing to kill Christians. The devil wants you to get on with it.

    Have you prayed for the Islamic oppressors?

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    “I often asked the torturers, ‘Don’t you have pity in your hearts?’ They usually answered with quotations from Lenin: ‘You cannot make omelets without breaking the shells of eggs,’ and ‘You cannot cut wood without making chips fly.’ I said again, ‘I know these quotations from Lenin. But there is...
