    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Read for yourselves what the Crusaders did. I won’t ever call what they did good. “Woe to those who call evil good” (Isaiah 5:20). Woe to you, @Wrangler.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The combination of being energized against evil and patient with my audience. May they become energized against evil too.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Did the Crusaders offer safety to their enemies if they would surrender and then slaughtered them when they did? AI came back with this overview - “Yes, Crusaders often offered terms of surrender that promised safety, but then broke these promises, especially during the chaotic First Crusade...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I‘ve already replied to it elsewhere on the forum. All you, or anyone else who is interested, need to do is read my posts. I don’t despise justice. What the Crusaders did was evil.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You‘ve victimized not only me but all who don’t follow your teaching. I’m still standing.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’ve done it and acknowledged that others here have done it as well. The reasons have been stated many times in this thread. No. I’ve known for a very long time what they are not. Of greater importance to my readers is that I’ve quoted and provided links to those who are experts in that...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Only to have you say again that I haven’t? I’m not going to do that.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    What the Crusaders did was evil. Don’t support evil.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The Crusades weren’t about justice, and they weren’t about obeying the command of Jesus to his follower to go to all nations, making followers for him. Think of all the followers of Jesus throughout the history of Christianity who didn’t, don’t, and never will call what the Crusaders did...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “1. We are undoubtedly faced every day with evil that is pointed directly at us. Satan knows how, where, and who to use to do the greatest damage to our Christian walk. Don’t be surprised. It will happen, if it hasn’t happened already.” (Chuck Jones, Living Today The Kingdom Way, p. 23) I’m...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Again, you obviously haven’t read all of my posts. One of the few positive things I can say about you is that you told me yourself that you haven’t.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Muslims killed and enslaved Christians. I owe nothing to the Crusaders; everything to God and Messiah.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’m reminded again of my immature high school buddies who thought it endlessly funny to say amongst ourselves: “They can kill but they can’t eat us. That wouldn’t be civilized.” Now here I am, a little over fifty years later, speaking against the uncivilized who killed and ate their enemies and...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    At this time, I think you probably always will. “The crusaders spared no one in their savagery; they murdered old and young, they raped women and girls - even nuns - in their frenzy. They also desecrated churches and plundered treasuries, and much of the city was put to the torch. In...
