    Reason for The Crusades explained

    My debt was paid in full by the Messiah. It is his Christianity that I teach, preach and practice. It is his Christianity that I defend his way. It is his Christianity that the crusaders damage.

    I’ve watched the video numerous times over the last 24 hours. History was on his side, just as it is on my side. The Muslim audience could have been persuaded by it but wasn’t. Why wasn’t the audience persuaded?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Jed I first came across him on the campus of the University of Kentucky in 1975. He was entertaining but his approach to his audience - college students - wasn’t very effective. Why?

    I don’t understood what you’re trying to say. Abdicating? My grandmother once asked me why the Bible contained so much violence. I told her because it was a book about human beings. I don’t know how you came to that conclusion. I invited you to draw from any Christian commentaries.

    Thanks but that’s not what was requested.

    This doesn’t address any of the questions I asked you.

    Going back to the video in the OP. Watch the video again. (Or for the first time if you came in late and haven’t watched it.) The evangelist started out well. Why wasn’t he successful?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’ve shown my enemies what it will take to win me over. History is the key to success. One replied with a dismissal. Needless to say, that won’t win me over. The other replied with a slight nod to history, but it didn’t support his argument. That’s not enough to persuade me, but the door...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    No, @Wrangler will not. Not for my benefit. Not for the benefit of his other readers. Presented with nothing to consider, there is no reason for a change of mind. When confronted with the accusation of being anti-Biblical, follow the teaching and practice of Jesus and the apostles.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I teach, preach, and practice the teaching, preaching, and practice of Jesus and the apostles. The concealed identity church hasn’t presented a persuasive argument. Everything that you stand for the early church stood against. My theology - the theology of Jesus and the apostles - doesn’t...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    How many axe-wielding maniacs did Jesus and the apostles kill? AI Overview answered - “Jesus and the apostles did not kill any axe-wielding maniacs. In fact, they are not recorded as having fought or killed anyone with an axe. Instead of wielding them, some early traditions claim that axes...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The axe wielding manic was stopped by a man who didn’t agree with Paul’s teaching -> we do not use the weapons of the world. You got the result you wanted but at the cost of telling Paul that he’s a “coward;” “a man in form not substance;” “a pantywaist;” a person who “disgusts” you. The axe...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Just a quick word here. You can’t realate to us by speaking to us as if we were toddlers. You might have something very good to say, something valuable to impart, but you lost your audience with “peek-a-boo.” Opportunity for both parties, lost. That was the paragraph which I thought might have...
