    Reason for The Crusades explained

    It isn’t the way the apostles and the followers of Jesus do it. “We [followers of Jesus] do not use the weapons of the world.” - Paul You aren’t making disciples. You’re encouraging followers of Jesus to kill potential disciples.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler you’ve joined with two others in accusing me of being a Muslim apologist / sympathizer. I’m your enemy. You’ve supported this. How badly do you want to kill me? What is keeping you from doing it? @Armour of God @NayborBear

    How many Muslims have you killed with your sword? Since you’re convinced that Jesus wants you - commands you - to kill your enemies, why aren’t you doing it?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

To most Jews the...

    The Great Commission. Muslims are being successfully evangelized. @Wrangler @Armour of God You have neither the interest nor the ability to evangelize them. Why aren’t you out there killing them?

    You think it’s funny that the Muslims haven’t listened to, believed, and obeyed the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. Will @Wrangler and @Armour of God? The crusaders would have killed them even if they had; just like they killed Christians who did.
