    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “Christ’s soldiers always win their battles on their knees.” - C.H. Spurgeon Consistent with Paul (2 Corinthians 10:4). Compare: Christ’s soldiers always win their battles with the weapons of the world they are armed with, ready to kill. Not consistent with Paul; contradicting Paul (2...

    Then you aren’t thinking clearly. Answered. That’s a new one from you. Yes, God hates. Ecclesiastes is right. (I think I answered this earlier but just in case I didn’t, there’s your answer.) To fulfill a messianic prophecy. (Someone asked me this earlier in the thread. Since I’m not...

    Sure. It’s the teaching of @Wrangler. He owns it. “You are not a follower of Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill“ - Wrangler They obeyed the teaching of Jesus, even unto death. They weren’t armed and they weren’t ready to kill. By the standard of Wrangler’s teaching, assuming that it is...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    @Wrangler knows the consequences of using a sword. (He‘s a modern-day Crusader.) He wants those consequences. He needs those consequences. He lives for those consequences. He may die for, and from, those consequences. He’s leading others down the same path. *** ”You are not a follower of Jesus...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    A request to those who are calling on the followers of Jesus to fight the wars of the nations: You can’t guarantee that Christian soldiers can avoid inflicting non-combatant casualties any more than you can guarantee that non-Christian soldiers can avoid inflicting non-combatant casualties...

    “IASP condemns the pain and suffering caused by the violence of war, especially to civilian populations and hospital facilities. We are grateful for the health care workers, physicians, and scientists working hard to relieve pain in difficult and dangerous circumstances.”...
