    Reason for The Crusades explained

    He sees right. Jesus and the apostles didn’t react to the violence done to them with the violence you‘re counseling. The early Christians didn’t react to the violence done to them with the violence you‘re counseling. You’re counseling against the teaching and reaction of Jesus, the apostles...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    No one who has actually read what I’ve written about the lamb slain before the foundation of the world would say this. You’re writing out of ignorance. @Wrangler has seen what I’ve written on the matter. (I doubt @Armour of God has.) If he agrees with you then it will be clear that he is...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’re teaching others that it’s okay for followers of Jesus to kill followers of Jesus and you don’t think you could become Jesus’ enemies. If someone can’t be persuaded that followers of Jesus killing followers of Jesus is wrong, then they should follow you. For those who can be, or are...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Let us do good to all people” (Galatians 6:10), from the mouth / pen of the apostle who said “We do not use the weapons of the world” (2 Corinthians 10:4). @Wrangler @Armour of God @NayborBear In waging physical war, noncombatants are inevitably killed and wounded. Right? When I learned war...

    “Believe in Jesus and trust him and you shall never be made ashamed of your confidence.” - C.H. Spurgeon @Wrangler @Armour of God @NayborBear A quote from one of Wrangler’s favorite Christian / pacifist authors. The apostles believed in and trusted Jesus. My confidence in him is their...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A followup: We couldn’t. It isn’t just Muslims and Jews who have the “Christianity = Violence” formula implanted in their minds; a formula which damages and betrays the Messiah. “In a Nutshell Looking back at the history of Christianity spreading in Europe, it’s clear that calling it a...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Jesus vs. Muhammad I don’t think it’s necessary for me to identify which one gives life and which one led wars. ”War can’t give life. It can only take it away.” - Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong @Wrangler @Armour of God @NayborBear Don’t allow the fear of evil men and what they can do...

    Bible reading plans

    “The average person reads over 265 social media posts, emails, and text messages on their phones or tablets every single day. Proof-positive that we really do have time to read our Bibles and pray every single day. We just choose to use our time on lesser important things.” (Shane Pruitt)...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    From my X / Twitter “Following” feed this afternoon - “I did not meet Jesus in a church. And I definitely was not looking for Him. I was not saved by a pastor. I met Jesus while reading the Quran. And the wildest part was this: He was already there. Surah 3:45 calls Him the Messiah...
