What Jesus taught and demonstrated is the practical application of scripture. The apostles perpetuated that practical application. So did the church up until the 4th century.

No confirmation. Why?
It is where the logic of the argument you put to me leads @NayborBear. That is the result you are aiming for with it.
How can you be persuaded that followers of Jesus mustn’t kill Muslims and Jews when you can’t be persuaded that Christians mustn’t kill Christians?
Hello! I would recommend the book the 'Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West' by Raymond Ibrahim, it goes into this topic in great depth. God Bless You All :)
@NayborBear are you willing and able to agree with me that those who are “fiercely anti-Scriptural” are not followers of Jesus? That such persons are enemies of Jesus?

“The one reason that people choose not to follow Jesus is because they do not agree with Jesus’ standards. They look at the commands of God, and they judge their standards to be higher or more important than God’s standards as taught by Jesus and His Apostles.”
(Mark Thogmartin, ”The One and Only Reason People Choose Not to Follow Jesus”)
Jesus and the apostles did not teach followers of Jesus to do to their enemies what the crusaders did to their enemies.
My standard is the teaching, preaching and practice of Jesus and the apostles. For this I stand accused of being “fiercely anti-Scriptural.”

Corrie ten Boom wasn’t “armed, ready to kill” but she was fit to cope with evil when it came to her and her family.

@NayborBear you’re flattered and influenced by @Wrangler. Will you listen to one of the Christian authors whom he says is among his favorites? He won’t.
”Let us show our love for Christ by loving our fellow Christians.” - C.H. Spurgeon
In addition to killing Muslims and Jews, the crusaders killed fellow Christians. This is historical fact.
Forget about the Muslims and Jews for a moment. (But only for a moment.)
Would you say the crusaders showed their love for Christ by killing their fellow Christians?
@NayborBear are you aware of how many Christians were killed by Christians when the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki in 1945?
Will you read the article?
”Let us show our love for Christ by loving our fellow Christians.” - Spurgeon
Let us show our love for Christ by wiping out 2/3 of the Catholic community - men, women, and children - in Nagasaki?
P.S.
Will you take a few minutes to read their story?

"It was through his faith that he was able to live the tragedy of the atomic destruction to the truth of its very meaning."
