    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Jesus didn’t kill his enemies and he didn’t clear out the Temple with a sword. Meaning what? Do you fear Muslims? Do you dismiss Muslims? Do you devalue Muslims? Do you love Muslims?

    @Wrangler @Armour of God @NayborBear Take a minute to think about what the pastor is saying. Decide for yourselves if, in full or in part, it has any merit.

    That’s your style. Your frustration is only going to increase. That’s my style. My peace is only going to increase. My readers will decide for themselves which classroom is messianic in nature; which classroom they would prefer to visit.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    As I said a few minutes ago, I was fixing to read. I was searching for an article online with a title that I couldn’t recall. I used the search term “Follow Jesus and the apostles” to help me locate it. The first thing that came up was from AI - not what I looking for. Nevertheless, it said...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I was fixing to do some reading when your words came to me again. (Good on you.) My ministry is renowned for its focus on the kingdom -> Jesus’ favorite topic. That’s why your words, not your message, capture my attention. That’s simply ignorance on your part, and easily dismissed. But there...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Cruel treatment of enemies is illegitimate because it stands in opposition to the kind treatment of enemies which Jesus and the apostles taught and performed. The Muslims and the crusaders were both cruel to their enemies. The teaching of the concealed identity church normalizes the violent...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “The world’s one and only remedy is the cross.” - C.H. Spurgeon Why didn’t he say the world’s one and only remedy is the sword? The sword is the world’s malady. Besides the fact that he is a pacifist, why didn’t he say the world’s one and only remedy is the cross and the sword? @Armour of God...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Christianity is best when it is expressed from the cross - from the place of sacrifice, suffering, failure, and not from a position of power. … Jesus is a light to the nations only from the cross, not by the sword of Constantine. Jesus is not a light to the nations when he is the handsome...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I treat you like Jesus and the apostles treated their enemies. You treat me like @Wrangler treats his enemies. Following the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles is only stupidity in the eyes of the world.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You subscribe to the teaching of the concealed identity church -> “You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” You quote Jesus’ words to unbelieving Jews and apply them to me. An unbeliever is someone who doesn’t have eyes to see and ears to hear Jesus. Oh yes. You treat...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Teaching others that it‘s okay (even necessary and / or commanded by Jesus) for followers of Jesus to kill followers of Jesus, as well as killing armed and unarmed enemies of Jesus, is an allegiance show and tell. @Armour of God @NayborBear Allegiance is to the state and its lord, not to the...
