When I asked @Armour of God if he was Roman Catholic he replied that his parents are. That guarded / deflective response suggests that he isn’t a Roman Catholic. (Good for him, if that’s the case.) The Crusaders may have died for their fellow Catholics (they killed Roman Catholics too - he’s glossed over that) but they didn’t die for non Roman Catholics.
Let us put the glasses of t ruth upon our eyes my friend .
One would marvel at just how catholic all denominations are now becoming . And many of them have no idea
They are . Its kinda like reading a sign
that says COULD NOT this have been given to the poor .
And then when one puts on the glasses
they see it says , BUT THIS HE SAID NOT cause he cared for the poor but held the bag and kept what was put therein .
ITS a smokescreen my friend .
A harlots LOVE has indeed encapuslated many in christendom .
A merger to merge all to be as one .
ONLY its not UNDER GOD .
It is as ONE under another god . one who has long been at work
and now by means of a whores love has come to unify at the end
ALL NOT IN THE LAMBS boOK of life to the idea That this is the way TO ATTAIN peace n sa fety.
ONLY like ahab , THE FALSE PROPHETS who joined in this lie
and beleive this is teh path to the day of their victory to the day of their own KINGDOM COME
our will be done
IT AINT gonna b e peace n safety . IT gonna be THEIR END . SUDDEN destruction come th .
And will be done BY THE VERY GOD and HIS CHRIST who their harlots love and her broad path sin accepting path , DENIED .
If anyone hear ever wonders why paul said for the time they say PEACE n SAFETY
SUDDEN destruction cometh upon them and they shall not escape .
WELL JUST LOOK at their plan that SAID WOULD B RING PEACE N SAFETY .
THE DIRE NEED TO BELEIVE ON JESUS GOT TOTALLY DENIED
ALL religoins got called valid paths to GOD
Believe me WHEN GOD is , thus CHRIST is denied . IT WONT BE A GOOD END for those who did so .

it can easily be seen if one has began to head into a harlots love .
You might wanna ask him another question .
Do he beleive his roman catholic parents follow GOD .
One would marvel at the answers seen today . IF even one asks do you think OTHER religoins follow the same GOD we do .
MORE AND MORE BLEIEVE IT TO BE YES . ALL heading right to the lie my friend .
Remember when i said a harlots love is no love we ought ever once to have
heeded . NEVER ONCE . And a harlot knows exactly what and how to dress that outward appearance
in order TO SEDUCE anything and anyone she do approach . She like a chameleon , SHE KNOWS
how to fit in .

YES .
Its a matter of LIFE OR DEATH . and that my friend IS VERY SERIOUS INDEED .
A harlot knows HOW to seduce .
TO man who perhaps likes less skin she will dress the part
to another who perhaps likes more skin she will dress the part .
IN OTHER WORDS , SHE KNOWS HOW TO BLEND INTO ANY DENOMATION AND RELIGOIN .
OH AND SHE HAS . OH SHE HAS . she been molding the minds of IMAMS , OF JEWS , OF sadly many in christendom ,
to a baptist she came in as though she was of them
and that list goes on and on . THEY INFILTRATED THEM CHURCHES friend .
Seeker friendly was a key way to do so . but it was not alone .
From the popular purposive driven life
TO many other ways , THEY SNUCK IT IN my friend . AND the leaven only continued to increase
DUE TO THE MOTTO OF JUDGE NOT , SAY NOT . TILL now the leaven is about full .

What you don’t know is that if Jesus ordered me to kill you, I would do so in a heartbeat

You say you would kill @Wrangler if Jesus told you to. Even though he has done nothing wrong to you.

Well Jesus told the first King of Portugal to battle against the evil Muslim forces which had invaded their land.



You say your right to defend yourself then so were they right to defend themselves too.

You say your allowed to kill an innocent man if Jesus told you to.
Well they were right to kill evil men who invaded their land as Jesus told them to.

Your objection now becomes highly hypocritical.

They fought off the evil Muslim invaders in Christs name and I'm greatful for that.

And as the leaven increased
under the motto of a harlots love of judge not correct not
SO it has come to the fuller and fuller day by day .
But the decieved see it not as leaven .
THEY SEE IT AS LOVE AND LOVING and the plan of GOD for world peace .
ONLY its NOT THE PLAN OF GOD .
IT was ALLOWED BY GOD . IT cometh of the darkness and it has cried I am the light
But marvel not for even satan can appear as an angel of LIGHT .

You might wanna ask him another question .

He’s chosen not to answer many of the questions I’ve asked him. I don’t know it for a fact but I doubt he would answer the one you’re suggesting. It’s deeply personal and he’s proud of his Roman Catholic ancestors. I think he wants to leave it at that.

Do he beleive his roman catholic parents follow GOD .
One would marvel at the answers seen today . IF even one asks do you think OTHER religoins follow the same GOD we do .

He would kill me if Caesar told him to. He would kill you too if Caesar told him to. Jesus isn’t going to tell me to kill him in the present age. In the age to come, he might. If he does, I would do it.

Well Jesus told the first King of Portugal to battle against the evil Muslim forces which had invaded their land.



I’ve already addressed that. My work is to preach Messiah to the Muslims (and others), not kill them.

Preaching Messiah to my enemies is loving my enemies.

You say your right to defend yourself then so were they right to defend themselves too.

I have the right to defend myself with the armor of God. They defended themselves with the weapons of the world.

”We do not use the weapons of the world.” - Paul / Matthias

”We use the weapons of the world.” - The Portuguese / you

See the difference?

You say your allowed to kill an innocent man if Jesus told you to.

I said no such thing. Jesus is not ever going to order his followers to kill an innocent man.

Well they were right to kill evil men who invaded their land as Jesus told them to.

Your objection now becomes highly hypocritical.

They fought off the evil Muslim invaders in Christs name and I'm greatful for that.

How many of your enemies have you killed?

Muslims symps can cry about it but can never change history.

Viva Portugal and Spain for successfully defending their Christian kingdoms against the evil forces of Islam

Caesar, if you’re listening, a message: If you order me to kill my enemies the answer is no.

There are plenty of people who will, or say that they will, kill yours / theirs.

You shouldn't accuse @Matthias of being a Muslim sympathizer. He hasn't done that. False accusations are... bad.

If you must accuse him of something, you might call him a 'criticizer of Christianity.' He would (I think?) agree to that label.

I agree. Self-defense is allowable.

The Crusades were more than self-defense. When you launch an offensive, you're no longer playing defense.

What you preach is absolute nonsense.
We are called to stand and defend ourselves against evil.
We are not called to stand by and let evil take over. You would defend yourself so stop being a hypocrite by criticising others for defending against evil. We use the same weapons they do



Ye well did you know that the first king of Portugal had a vision of Christ that told him to go into battle, outnumbered against the Muslims 5 to 1, Christ assured him victory in the battle and the war.
So enough of your crap, you don't know what your talking about.

They defended themselves, in Gods name, instructed by Christ. And for that I'm greatful
Other pacifists falsely claim God stopped commanding people to use violence in the OT days.

I wasn’t expecting anyone here to rise in my defense but I appreciate the fact that you did. Thank you.

Yes, I would. As do many other Christian pastors and laypersons.

I defend Christianity and I criticize Christianity. This may be seen in many of my posts.

It's not that he is merely hypocritical about something he's not thought through. He's fanatically devoted to over-spiritualization, life ending pacificism, and living by inverted moral poles, categorizing laziness and cowardice as morally superior to those who take responsibility for their own lives in using violence to protect it when necessary.

The Crusades were more than self-defense. When you launch an offensive, you're no longer playing defense.

The Holy Land was Christian in the first place so its still defense for the Crusaders.

Same as the Iberian peninsula. It was Christian in the first place so re taking it was still defensive.

If someone takes your house you should be able to take it back. Especially when it's an evil entity like the Muslims

This is an overly strict take on defense. It's unreasonable to suppose one is burdened with forever blocking punches and must allow the enemy to forever be afforded the opportunity to attack you lest you be accused of "going on offense."

Post in thread 'Bill Warner, PhD: Jihad vs Crusades'
Bill Warner, PhD: Jihad vs Crusades

Please notice two things, readers:

1. I’m not a Muslim apologist.
2. The member who slandered me is trying to mislead you. He posted this in a thread he started in a “Christians Only” forum, knowing full well that I‘m registered here as “Other Faith” and, for that reason, I don’t have posting privileges in any of the “Christians Only” forums. It is impossible for me to post in that thread. That is why I’m responding to it in this thread, and in this forum, where I do have posting privileges.

He wants you to believe I’m something that I’m not and he wants you to believe that I have “nothing to say about such evil.”

Here is the truth: I’m a primitive Christian and I speak against all that is evil.

@Armour of God do you still think he is innocent?

His a straight up Muslim symp.
Always acts like it's only the Christians that did wrong.
Never admits that Islam did anything wrong.
Never admits that the Muslims actually took lands from the Christians, the holy land, Iberian peninsula, Byzantine empire.
Expects Christians/Europe to just give up their land to the Muslims without any defense.
Doesn't acknowledge that Muslims are still persecuting Christians today, still beheading Christians just for being Christian.

His a Muslim apologist and a massive hypocrite and I'm just sick of his antagonistic rubbish now to be honest, his just looking for anything to bicker about.

You either haven’t read my posts in this thread (which means you’re speaking out of ignorance) or you have read them (which means you’re intentionally trying to harm my reputation.)

Virtually none of what you have said about me in your post is true.

Thank you for posting it in this thread where I have posting privileges and can respond.
