@Chihuahua I’ve explained why I speak against Christians killing fellow Christians in war. Why haven’t you spoken against Christians killing fellow Christians in war?

No. Raids is plural and I was talking big picture.

No. Hear again the good words of @GodsGrace - “DO NO HARM to our enemies” (post #85). The Crusades inflicted a tremendous amount of harm on both sides.

You’re talking about the anomaly of one air raid. The raids on Hirsoshima and Nagasaki were worse than a typical WW air raid and there is no doubt that nuclear weapons are far more destructive than conventional weapons in a side by side comparison.

Challenge someone to fight you with the following caveat: You will use only conventional weapons and they will use only nuclear weapons. Who ultimately wins that fight?

With grace. You misinterpreted, and are still misinterpreting, my intention. Please see post #137. That is where I answered your questions. Compare a conventional weapon with a nuclear weapon for us. I answered the question. That’s right. It wasn’t a strawman. Then stop demanding...

Thanks. Apart from internet forums I don’t often run into Christians who behave as you do. I answered your question. Your comment brought another question to mind: have you ever heard a forum moderator say that no one is required to answer a question? Have you ever heard a forum moderator...

Do you think you’re writing like a Christian? Or even as a person with moderate social skills?

Nuclear weapons are far more powerful than conventional weapons.

No. Killed for being antitrinitarian. “If I had lived then” = If had lived at the time of the Crusades and come into contact with the Crusaders. I haven’t made up history.

No worse than other bombing raids? That’s preposterous.

I haven’t made up any stories and I’ve been discussing real history - biblical and post-biblical. What is your real issue with me? Is it simply because I’m not a trinitarian?

No. It is alluded to in the OP. It’s a simple matter of history that the Crusaders were cruel; just as cruel as the Muslims were. Take that up with General Sherman some day, if you have the opportunity. Did Jesus defend himself against the pagan Romans? Did the apostles defend themselves...

To fulfill a prophecy about him.

* My then girlfriend (now wife) and I went to see the movie on our first date. Bad choice on my part. I was unaware that she can’t stand the sight of snakes, nor was I aware that there were snakes in the movie. It wasn’t immediately clear to me after the movie if there would be a second date or...

No. I pointed out to @GodsGrace why Jesus instructed them to purchase swords, alluding to his own words on the matter. (See post #100.) It has nothing to do with cruelty. At no point did Jesus ever instruct his disciples to be cruel.

People are discussing real history and hypothetical situations (application) in this thread. Both are important.

You’re new here, so I’ll give you a pass. No. It’s a long story and you obviously don’t know the details. What you do know is that I’m not a trinitarian.
