    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Early Church history proves that you‘re wrong. You’re a history denier. I’m bound by the constraints of history. Please identify by name the churches which teach, “You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed,ready to kill.” This is a repeated request that you repeatedly ignore. As I...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Continuing the argument of the RCC begun in post #2794 - “… it also believes that war is morally permissible perhaps even necessary. Built on centuries of tradition and scholarship, the Church uses the ‘Just War Theory’ as the basis upon which it discerns the permissibility of a war and the...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Just War Tradition The Church is emphatically for peace in all places and for all people, and has time and again advocated vocally for the prevention or cessation of war and supports the long tradition of pacifism in the Church. Yet, under certain circumstances, …”...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Answering Islam (and @Wrangler) “The Bible instructs Christians to kill their enemies” / ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” is the opposite of what the Bible instructs.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The Muslim is wrong. “You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - @Wrangler Wrangler is wrong. That isn’t what the Bible instructs Christians to do, and no church anywhere in the world holds that doctrine.

    My handing of the topic of "The Crusades"

    That was inevitable. *** ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - Wrangler and the Muslim in this video: I believe the Christians are correct @Pavel Mosko. The Bible does not instruct Christians to kill their enemies.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The Muslim denies that the Quran instructs Muslims to kill their enemies. The Christians address the Muslim’s denial. But here is the most important part of the video: The Muslim argues that the Bible instructs Christians to kill their enemies. The Christians correctly say that the Bible does...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Wars and rumors of wars. Business as usual in the world. Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest followers of Jesus didn’t surrender to evil. Romans 13. It is the responsibility of the government, not the church, to wield the weapons of the world. ”We [followers of Jesus] do not use the weapons...
