    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’m trying to read between the lines. How do I know from this whether or not you agree that a person is not a follower of Jesus if they aren’t armed, ready to kill [human beings], imitating the Crusaders? I think you’ve shifted the terrain. Wrangler is teaching that the followers of Jesus will...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A mission, yes. I haven’t lost patience with my audience. If I had, I wouldn’t have invested this much time on the matter. * Editing to add that I’ve invested this much time precisely because I am patient with my audience. * I’m not trying to force anyone into agreement with me. Even if I...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    All I want to know is if you agree or disagree with the teaching: ”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” I don’t need you stand with me against him. What I need to know is if you stand with him.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A person does not have to read this in order to be or to become a follower of Jesus, but doing so will protect a person from anyone who teaches ”You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.“ A person so equipped can also help steer others away from the pernicious teacher...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Meanwhile, back at the Colosseum in Rome - There was a time when Christians would not dare to derisively say that they were ”Men in form not in substance.” The thought wouldn’t even have entered their minds. “The oftener we are mowed down by you, the more in number we grow; the blood of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.“ I asked in a search engine, “Is it true that you are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill?” and AI answered with this overview: “It is not true that being unarmed means you are not a follower of Jesus. The...

    “If you are in Christ, your sins are not just hidden; they are gone. God doesn't see your failures; he sees the righteousness of his Son. That is the beauty of the gospel.” - Trevor Sheatz Did the Crusaders repent of their atrocities? God knows.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The bolded teaching isn’t just wrong. It’s a lie. It comes from the devil, not from the Messiah. I’m repeating again what a Christian member said about it in another thread - “It should not be taught to anyone.” What the Christian member said about it is right. May his words get through to the...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’m blessed by the personal attacks you’ve made on me (Matthew 5:11:13). That’s right. I don’t pray like the Pharisees. Those who follow the Messiah are, generally speaking, morally superior to worldly men. As for you being wretched, you testify about yourself. You don’t need me to...

    I don’t believe that’s pathetic. Do you @JustMe?
