“The victory caused the leadership of the Church at Rome to become increasingly inebreiated with power. Tragically, when victory comes at such an excruciating cost, it can rarely be duplicated. The subsequent Crusades, lasting until the beginning of the fourteenth century, illustrated the...

Be transparent. Name them. All of them.

Your judgement contains a fatal flaw: Jesus, the apostles and the disciples in the early centuries of the Christian movement didn’t kill their enemies and they don’t show “a total abdication of Christians burden to the weightier matters of the law, justice.”

“You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” isn’t the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. It is a new requirement for discipleship emanating from a hidden identity church.

I’m cautious about estimates for the number of Muslims who convert to Christianity per year, and estimates vary widely. I’m linking an article that I just finished reading for your consideration @NayborBear. https://globalchristianrelief.org/stories/why-are-muslims-converting-to-christianity/

“The means by which the crusaders were victorious breached all boundaries of Christian ethics. It was their brutality that became legend, and subsequent generations of Europeans would assume that victory was perpetual. It was not.” (Christian Jihad, pp. 118-119) The crusaders “breached all...

You’ve been - intentionally, it now appears to me - misled about me. I’m not a Muslim sympathizer. (But please do see my story about a conversation with an imam.)

* I should have jumped on this while I could still meet the weight limit. *

It is true. Doesn’t it stink to you? It certainly does to me. If it doesn’t stink to @Anchorite I will be shocked. Does it stink throughout the world? For those in the world with a conscience, it should.

Did Christ “carry a soldier equipment 2 miles”? I asked AI and here is the response I received - “No, the biblical account does not state that Jesus physically carried a soldier’s equipment for two miles. Instead, in Matthew 5:41, Jesus instructs his followers to ‘go the second mile’ as a...

News you can use.

You aren’t defending Christianity with your Crusader memes. You are harming Christianity and helping Islam with them.

Neither @Wrangler nor @Armour of God answered my questions. ”The Memory of the Crusades As Kane explains, ‘To Christians in the West the Crusades were a bad dream, of which we have only the faintest recollection; but to the Arabs they are the greatest proof of the Christian hatred of Islam.’...
