    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Returning to the video, which I‘ve done so many times now - but less and less beyond the first 25 seconds. “The question was, ‘Am I saying that with Christianity comes peace?’ No. I’m not. I’m saying that with Christ comes peace.” Pause. This is the critical point in the video. If it’s true...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Certainly it would take much time to repair the damage which had been inflicted from the warmongers.” (Ergun Mehmet Caner & Emir Fethi Caner, Christian Jihad, p. 104) The Christian speaker in the video (see post #1) had an opportunity to repair the damage but didn’t take advantage of it. Did...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “The question was, ‘Am I saying that with Christianity comes peace?’ No. I’m not. I’m saying that with Christ comes peace.” Islam is the religion of peace The second question asked by the Muslim - “What about the Crusades?” - was asked before the speaker was allowed to answer the first...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The way of Jesus is the way of peace, not the way of the sword.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I treat him like the one true God, because that is the way Jesus and the apostles treat him and that is who he is. Go in peace and be a man of your word.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I believe Jesus and the apostles. There’s nothing you can say that contradicts them that could ever cause me to believe you. “You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” Test the spirit. That’s not the spirit of Jesus.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler agrees with you. Wrangler disagrees with you. As long as that division exists the possibility exists that you won’t be drawn further in and might be drawn out.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    They taught, preached and practiced what I teach, preach and practice. You acknowledged that they are my foundation. We are one. Your teaching is against us. ”We counsel violence.” - @Wrangler The “we” in his statement included you and @Armour of God.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Yes. I’m pointing you to Jesus and the apostles. My heavenly Father and the Messiah see what I’m doing. No. I’m pointing out to you that “You aren’t following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” isn’t the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. The concealed (blacked out, dark) identity...

    I already have. Several times, in fact.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The Muslims are fighting a losing battle. They’ve already lost the battle that counts. The final victory has been won by Messiah Jesus. Jesus and the apostles are my foundation. They don’t misguide. You have no problem with Christians killing Christians. That’s horribly misguided, and it’s...
