    Reason for The Crusades explained

    What if we sub out Saul of Tarsus and sub in Khalid ibn al-Walid (aka “Sayf Allah” -> “The Sword of Allah”)? What if at the same time we also sub out the earliest followers of Jesus living in Damascus and sub in the Byzantine Christians? Do we get the same outcome or a different outcome...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’re a follower of Jesus, living in an area populated with Christians and non-Christians. Saul of Tarsus is coming, and he’s coming for you and your family members. What do you, who counsel violence and killing your enemies, do? What did the followers of Jesus do? They remained faithful to...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Kill all Christians.” “I really hate Christians.” “I long for the death of Christianity.” “Death to Christianity.“ Is hell too good for that person? If the person who uttered those words had lived at the time of the Crusades and had come into contact with the crusaders, they would have...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From World War I - Who are the Hun? Germany and the German people. Christians. We have Christians saying to Christians -> Hell is too good for you. What do you think about that? Can you not see how appalling that is? Can you not hear how appalling that is? Let’s back up to the Crusades...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Followers of Jesus are in process of becoming like Jesus; being prepared to rule the nations with him when he returns. The destiny of the followers of Jesus is service in his government. Bodily resurrection from the grave Jesus experienced it. His followers who die before he returns will...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed today - “If our children are from heaven and are unique gifts of God (and they are), it behooves us as parents to communicate that to them. …” (David Jeremiah) https://x.com/davidjeremiah/status/2064860263602409810?s=61 Amen to that. Review the lives of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Christ modeled the life we are intended to live …” (Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, p. 101) If we believe that statement is true, then the question is this - Did Messiah live like a crusader? We have an account of the way Jesus of Nazareth lived preserved for us in the New...

    The Most Absurd Topic in Apologetics (Cats & Korans)
