“Why is nobody talking about this??” https://x.com/athenaeumbc/status/2049859439620964571?s=61

A little reading to occupy our time while we wait for @Wrangler to present us with the whipping figures. (Bruce Gillette, ”Did Jesus whip people? Personal reflections on a troubling Bible story”)...

How many men, women, and children did he kill with the whip? How many men, women and children did he even strike with the whip? Search the scriptures.

Kill one of the Messiah’s brothers in one of the wars of the nations @Wrangler and @Armour of God and find out what the Messiah will say and do with you. (It won’t be “Well done, good and faithful servant” - that is your reward from Caesar for the service you rendered to him.)

Pop quiz time. Who came up with the “Just War“ theory? Was it: A. Jesus of Nazareth B. Paul the Apostle C. Barnabas D. The Crusaders E. None of the above Spoiler alert * * * * * Pick “E” and win a prize

You approve of Christians killing Christians in war; even encouraging it. You call it good. I disapprove of Christians killing Christians in war; discouraging it. I call it evil. Christians killing Christians. There is no doubt in my mind that I hold the moral high ground. You’re just going...

Your arguments against Doss, Jesus, the Apostles, the martyrs, and pacifists through the centuries - Christian and non-Christian alike - doesn’t align with the New Testament image of masculinity. Your characterization of those who do not arm themselves and aren’t prepared to kill their enemies...

Thanks. If they stay true to their logic, it’s just a matter of time before they try to persuade anyone who will listen to them that I’m a pagan Roman apologist / sympathizer.

One of the bravest men who ever walked the face of the earth - Desmond Doss - stands as a shining example against your “feminized” argument. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Doss

You may have done something like that but I think it’s far more likely that you haven’t. (We would almost certainly have read about it if you had.)

Have any of the warmonger cheerleaders here ever tried to explain to you why Jesus, the Apostles, and the followers of Jesus didn’t use the weapons of the world to defend themselves from the pagan Roman soldiers who were using the weapons of the world, as directed by the pagan Roman government...

“The Pawns of War Christians have been the pawns of war for centuries. Kings, emperors, presidents, and prime ministers have co-opted Christianity to rally Christian populations to kill for the sake of the state. To do so has meant re-interpreting Jesus’ call to love enemies and turn the other...

To deal only with your first accusation: A third party, unprompted by me, has already told you that I’m not an Islamic sympathizer. How then should I respond to this? First, by recognizing it for what it is -> a fiery dart of the devil. Second, by following the instruction of Paul -> by...

Now let’s modify your meme slightly. Instead of “Christians vs. Muslims” let it read “Christians vs. Christians” and instead of “Good vs. Evil” let it read “Evil vs. Evil”. Let us retain “Choose Wisely”. Also not that in Ephesians 6:10-13, the Apostle is not referring to weapons of the world...

I’m currently reading Christian Jihad, written by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner. They are brothers, both former Muslims who converted to Christianity.

Please don’t pass quickly by the painting of the persecuted Christians in the arena. As you cast your gaze upon it ask yourself this: Are these unarmed, persecuted, followers of Jesus who are about to die for their obedience of faith in Messiah Jesus “Man in form but without substance”? I hope...

See post #1637. The unarmed followers of Jesus, persecuted by the government that was tasked by God to defend them, didn’t “do nothing.“ They did something. They obeyed the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles, even unto death. They witnessed. The ”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t...

From my X / Twitter “Following” feed this morning- “#OTD April 30, 304: The harshest anti-Christian edict if Diocletian's Great Persecution was published. It ordered all inhabitants of the empire to offer sacrifice to the gods, resulting in widespread arrests, torture, and executions. The...

Both the Muslims and the Crusaders committed evil acts. Evil is unsupportable for followers of Jesus, no matter who commits it. Repent and be saved. (The parable of the sower.)
