    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Your ancestors killed Muslims, Jews and Christians. Who isn’t here today that would have been if not for the acts of your ancestors?

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Jesus, the apostles, and the first three centuries of Christian history: Christianity is alive and thriving under persecution. They defended Christianity against evil. Right? They did so without using the weapons of the world. Right?

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    @Ziggy he is lying to you about me. You should also know that he believes that Jesus lied. The personal life encompasses every area and aspect of a person’s life. That’s right. If you were living in China, for example, Jesus commands you not to act treasonously to the civil authorities...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    I presume you’re speaking about the US government. The US government is not the church. Let’s go back to the 1st century. Paul was writing during the reign of Nero. The government is the Roman Empire. Let’s put your question to Paul —> So if our government is made up of we the people, does...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Reconquista.The devil wants to reconquer that which he has lost. Follower of Jesus, that’s you. The devil wants to reconquer you, to enslave you again, to kill you. Teaching people that Jesus approves of his followers killing one another - we can get to what Jesus approves of his followers...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I believe that. I teach that. I preach that. I live that. I’ve staked my life on that. If it’s not true that he is then I’ve wasted my life. @rockytopva I believe that you too believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Now you hear...

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    That’s an interesting observation. The Shema is my creed. (Scot McKnight, as you may be aware, refers to it as “the Jesus creed.”) I make that known to Muslims early on in my conversations with them.

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    It’s called sin, and it can - must - be repented of. Would you agree that lying is a sin? Would you agree that the Bible condemns it? Would you agree that the Lord hates it? Would you agree that all liars are destined for destruction if they remain on that pathway? @Wrangler is enamored with...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    I don’t think he’s a Muslim but he does share that ethic with them. I do love irony and it would really be something if it actually turns out that he is a Muslim. What he does to me (and others) isn’t Christian, and I use that to my advantage.

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Consider this from the pen of Spurgeon - “He that cannot be safely imitated ought not to be tolerated in a pulpit.” Now consider this from the pen of @Wrangler - “Jesus obviously lied … We must admit deception is an important tool in war and there is a spiritual war.” and this ”You are not...

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    Even three things, or four. You’re sincere in teaching others that Jesus approves of his followers killing one another in the wars of the nations. You believe that he commands it. You believe the followers of Jesus have always taught it, and have always done it. Right?

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    He did and he’s proud of it. That’s the skill of the god of this world on display. @rockytopva does that not at least raise a yellow flag in your mind when you hear what he says about me? About other Christians?

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    I’m feeding you the words of one of your favorite Christian authors. “The god of this world is skilled in making men love sin.” - C.H. Spurgeon ”You aren’t following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” That’s an example of the skill of the god of this world. You love it.

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    I’ve watched the video in post #1 multiple times. Does the historian think extolling the Crusades is a good way, a successful way, the Messiah’s way to evangelize Muslims? I don’t know. I know many Christians do. I also know that it’s not.

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    This sign is for you and @Wrangler. It won’t stop you from killing Christians and it won’t stop Christians who aren’t following the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles from killing you. What it will do is take away the excuse, “But no one ever told me that, Jesus.”

    Crusades Began with Reconquista

    To kill followers of Jesus in other nations with? It’s the devil, not God, who wants the followers of Jesus to kill one another in the wars of the nations.
