    Reason for The Crusades explained

    https://spacezilotes.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/the-cannibalism-of-christians-in-maarra/ @Wrangler stands with the Crusaders. I stand against them. Muslims (and nonMuslims) aren’t food (unless you’re a Crusader). I shouldn’t have to say it but I do: Jesus did not command his followers to kill...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    That’s not true. You need to study Islamic history and Christian history. I documented a case of the Crusaders coming upon a city which was occupied by Muslims, Christians and Jews. They slaughtered everyone in the city - Muslims, Christians and Jews. They spared no one. No. I’ve already been...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “From Medieval Times to the Enlightenment Throughout the Medieval Era, Christians continued to persecute Jews. When Pope Urban II called for the liberation if Jerusalem in 1095, the biblical tropes of Jews as Christ killers and devils inspired Christian crusaders to slaughter thousands of...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “I talked to a brother the other day who was a conscientious objector in the 1960’s. I asked him why he refused to do military service. ‘Because I don’t want to kill a Christian brother. And it would be unreasonable to first run and ask an enemy soldier what he believes before you eventually...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” Why is this not a military recruitment tool? How many followers of Jesus would enlist in the militaries of the nations in which they reside if it was?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Readers, is it the faithful and wise followers of Jesus who are teaching you to kill his brothers and sisters in war or is it the foolish and wicked who are teaching you to kill his brothers and sisters in war? Unless the foolish and wicked repent, the Messiah is going to cut them in pieces...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’re wrong again. I see it as something -> something that Jesus did not command his followers to do and something which the followers of Jesus should not do. *** Jesus did command his followers to pay their taxes. Jesus did command his followers to obey the governments of the world but not...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Certainly not. Which I have. I’ve attacked the Crusaders in posts where I’ve spoken about them. No reasonable person would see providing the reasons for the Crusades and not defending the Crusaders as a contradiction; they would see it as a criticism of the whole proposition. See above.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler lives in the United States. Know this, you followers of Jesus who live outside of the United States: he would kill you if war broke out between the United States and the nation you live in; and he would think that he was serving God for doing it. Instead of following his example...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Multiple posts. See all of my posts. Because you haven’t, you speak out of ignorance. I haven’t defended the Crusaders in any of my posts. See above.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    What are you talking about? Read your own posts. I’ve talked about the reasons for the Crusades. (So have others.) Your protestation to the contrary is groundless.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    They did do justice themselves.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Read it again. When he returns. In the meantime, you would have his followers kill one another.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You haven’t read all of my posts and it’s obvious.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to read your posts and honestly walk away thinking that you don’t. You‘re the incarnation of the spirit of atrocity. The only thing I want to know is who else here is or wants to be.
  16. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “By this everyone will know you are my followers, …” (John 13:35) … the atrocities you commit against one another. That’s antiMessiah, readers. I’d like to know how many members approve of @Wrangler’s teaching.

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A word to my readers. Find teachers who will instruct you not to commit atrocities. Jesus of Nazareth did not teach his followers to go to the nations and commit atrocities. He commanded them to go to the nations and make disciples.
  18. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    The true followers of Jesus don’t own the atrocities of war. They don’t commit them and they stand against them.
  19. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Your teaching isn’t a strawman. See the example set by Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest Christians. They didn’t violate Scripture and they suffered injustice.
  20. Matthias

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    You’ve been overcome by the spirit if the world. You advocate the brothers and sisters of the Messiah in one nation killing the brothers and sisters of the Messiah in another nation and call it practical. Think about that.
