    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I have the ability and I’ve demonstrated it, writing more on this forum about Psalm 110:1 than I have about any other passage of scripture. I invite you to read what I’ve said about it.

    They've done enough

    It’s a play for attention from a homeless man who has a history of mental health issues (all of which he has discussed openly on the forum.) I think of him as a friend, even though he is not, and ask you to please pray for him.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    In this present evil age there will always be people who want followers of Jesus dead. That is what their father, the devil, wants. I want us to live in obedience to the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. I want us not to kill our enemies but to make them us, disciples of the Messiah. That’s...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “If the struggle against the antipope was a negative issue that motivated Urban to call for the Crusade, then a potential ‘blessing’ from the Crusade would be the end of strife among the Christian kingdoms. These supposedly Christian monarchs were waging constant war with one another, and it was...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Probably not @Armour of God. That’s not what the Crusaders were sent by the pope to do. Jesus Christ sends his followers to speak about him to those who aren’t.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The religious affiliations should be effective in reaching hardened hearts, but they are proving not to be. The Crusaders killed Muslim men, women, and children. The Crusaders killed Jewish men, women, and children. The Crusaders killed Christian, men, women, and children. “Good,” say their...

    That isn’t true. He has answered questions. I bet you don’t say that to everyone who chooses not to answer a question.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You‘ve purchased a sword. The world is full of bad guys. Why are you spending your time rattling your sword here (are you a recruiter for the US military?) instead of spending it slaughtering the bad guys out in the world? *** ”We [followers of Jesus] do not use the weapons of the world.”...

    Before you reply to him @Anchorite, remember his standard of measure. He is what he accuses you of being. I haven’t known you long but I’ve known you long enough to know that you aren’t a troll. A suggestion for you, Wrangler: read and meditate on Exodus 34:6-7. God is patient, desiring his...

    What books are you currently reading?

    “Often I hear people say they do not have time to read. That’s absolute nonsense. In the one year during which I kept that kind of record, I read twenty-five books while waiting for people. In offices, applying for jobs, waiting to see a dentist, waiting in s restaurant for friends, many such...
