Setting our good conversation about York aside, as well as the issue of whether or not German soldiers in WWI were Christian, do you think any Christians - combatants and / or non-combatants - were killed by Christians during the war?

Christians killing Christians. It’s madness.

Of course he is. This is about the change in the covenants. With the coming of the Messiah, the new creation has begun.

That’s true. Still, the old covenant has been replaced with the new covenant.

Were the German soldiers in World War I Christians? AI Overview replied - “Yes, the cast majority of German soldiers in World War I were Christians. Demographics at the time indicate about two-thirds of the population were Protestant and one-third were Catholic, with small Jewish and other...

How many Christians did York kill?

Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn’t. The answer is no, the speaker is not of the same faith as Vlad the Impaler. He is, however, ecumenical. Catholics (as well as non-Catholics) are divided over the speaker’s Alpha Path program.
