There were about 10 Crusades, starting in 1096 when soldiers from several European countries, including France, Germany, Spain and England, headed east.

The crusaders of the First Crusade managed to recapture the holy city of Jerusalem in 1099. But after almost 50 years of peace, fighting broke out again, with the Muslims the winners.

The Third Crusade made heroes out of the Muslim leader Saladin and the English king, who became known as Richard the Lionheart.

In 1212, teenagers from France and Germany decided they could do better than the older crusaders. But this “Children’s Crusade” never made it to Jerusalem.

More peace treaties and battles followed until 1272,when the Crusades ended with the Muslims maintaining hold of the Holy Land.

Absolutely. A lot of people think it was just to capture Jerusalem, but the catalyst that set the whole thing off was the Eastern Roman Empire requesting help to drive the Seljuk Turks out of their land. Rampant Islamic piracy was also a big factor.

Have an example in wartime in judges 7:1-7

>THEN Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

>And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

>Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

>And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

>So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.

>And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

>And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

Now the crusades themselves were totally unjustified as Jesus' kingdom is not of this world and we as Christians are ordered not to fight in john 18:36

That is an utterly disgusting worldview.

In general, turning the other cheek is a good policy when you live in a Christian society, around other Christians.

Maybe, but there are also primary sources from both Catholics and Protestants claiming that it both survived and they're still trying to deal with it. The first organized denomination attempt in 1609 doesn't mean too much in the grand scheme of things. I'm not trying to downplay it but still.

Yeah and choosing not to resist muslims is the worst possible decision you can make, you are basically allowing genocide of your own nation. If you try to personally benefit from that instead of fighting it's even more damning. I could never see eye to eye with the goals of someone with those kind of beliefs. It's just unnatural, considering what truth is.

So why are you here on /christian/ then? The truth is what God says in the Bible as God can not lie titus 1:2. Thus saith the Lord in john 18:36 that we are not to fight for this world. Thus saith the Lord in romans 13:1-8 to submit to the powers that be as all power is of God. And thus saith the Lord in 1 samuel 15:22-24

>And Samuel said, Hath the LORDas great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

>For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD,he hath also rejected thee from being king.

>And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD,and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

What God says in the Bible is very clear on what to do with evil rulers, or of any kind romans 12:19-21

>Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

>Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Literally, the best thing you can do for a mudslime is remove them. Double so for "converts". They're too far gone to be reasoned with, and because I love my neighbors, I don't want them to be senselessly run over by a "Truck of Peace".

They already have their own countries where they can, and do that. And we should remove them back to their sandpits, where they can practice their ideology in peace(horrific violence against one another).

What you are unironically stating is "The more dead Christians, the better!"

The only reasonable conclusion I can draw at this point is that you're a filthy mudslime yourself from /Islam/, wanting us to just roll over and die for your pedophile death cult.

If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith.

As a man in my proper place, I have priorities. I have a higher commission to defend my own from those destructive forces than to simply be pacifist. If my own self were the only person threatened or if it were just my personal enemy, then none of this would apply. However, when a threat is this open and declared, it must be treated as what it is, and I respectfully disagree with absolute pacifism. I'm not a sell out.

>Thus saith the Lord in john 18:36 that we are not to fight for this world.

That's not the same as actual self defense, I'm afraid. We're talking strictly honest here, no word games, you have to defend your own from an external threat.

Let me give you a very basic example.

I'm Lebanese, and I've been living in Lebanon for most of my life so far. My parents and extended family fought in the civil war that ravaged this country for 15 years. If they, or other Christian men had not fought to protect this country from invading Muslims, then none of us would be here. Lebanon, the land Christ mentioned by name and walked on, would be a Muslim sh*thole. The Muslims started the war through the Palestinians when they came here as refugees in the 60s. They grew in number and became more and more comfortable in the country. They then decided it was a good idea to start kidnapping and harassing our women. The final straw was when they shot up a church where one of the Christian party leaders was attending. They killed two of the man's bodyguards. That was when the Christians had enough. They couldn't take it anymore. They were being killed by the same people they allowed in the country as refugees.

Now tell me, if the Christians hadn't fought back, I, along with most of my friends my age, and possibly even most of the Christian families you see today in the country and in the diaspora, wouldn't even be here today. This land, Lebanon, would just be another Muslim country similar to the other terrible Muslim countries.

I'm sorry. I cannot turn my cheek and standby idle when a group of people are kidnapping, raping, and killing our men and women.

It has to do with pacifism if it comes at a personal cost only. Your personal enemy. You can't betray others behind their back though, in the name of pacifism.

Like if you conveniently become a pacifist due to fears of what might happen to you personally for resisting, that's actually being complicit in the enemy violence. You can't just ignore a declared threat. People have always known this, this is a fact that's no laughing matter. Don't learn this the hard way.

2 Chronicles 19:2

And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

They could be used for those but very rarely were, especially when you have cheaper and more effective tools like axes and bows for those jobs. By the 1st century swords were almost exclusively used for fighting. They may have been used to kill prey that was already wounded by an arrow, but if that's what Jesus was talking about he would have told the disciples to buy bows too.

>Not just for killing humans who have authority over you as the powers that be which is against romans 13:1 and is witchcraft.

Herein lies the problem with your interpretation. You assume that self defense and rising up and overthrowing the government are the same thing. As I said here >>649137 Matthew 5:38 is talking specifically about a part of the Mosaic Law concerning personal grievances and the victim's right to avenge himself. Jesus is saying not to seek personal revenge. And Romans 13:1 is telling people to obey the government ruling over them, as long as their commands don't conflict with Christian doctrine, and not rebel like the Jews were always trying to do. Neither of these things are the same as defending yourself and the people around you. The Bible does not teach that self defense is wrong, the Church Fathers do not teach that it is wrong(St. Augustine wrote extensively about just warfare) and the majority of early Christians did interpret it that way. Look at how many of them were soldiers in the Roman army. Cornelius, George, Mercurius etc.

You don't understand authority at all.

<You assume that self defense and rising up and overthrowing the government are the same thing.

No I don't. There's a difference between killing a wolf or beast that attacks you and avenging yourself in defense of the government attacking you.

>And Romans 13:1 is telling people to obey the government ruling over them,

<as long as their commands don't conflict with Christian doctrine,

It does not say "as long as their commands don't conflict" It says

>LET every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

>Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Now who you serve is who you worship because they are synoynms in matthew 4:8-10 along with who you worship is by extension who you glorify in 1 corinthians 1:31 as you can not serve two masters matthew 6:24. In romans 7:25 it is said

>I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Our flesh, the one in the kingdoms of the world which Satan owns in matthew 4:8-10, serves sin. But in our spirit and mind we serve God john 4:24 as they that worship God must worship Him in spirit and in truth. As we are seeking the kingdom of God which is not of this world john 18:36 we are not to fight against this world in the physical sense but to submit to the powers that be such as Satan, such as when satan had to ask God to tempt job in job 1, as all power is of God in romans 13:1. Now because of this Jesus Himself humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. philipians 2:8. Even though as God He could have just slaughtered everyone with more then twelve legions of angels matthew 26:53. That's why Jesus commandeds us in matthew 23:1-3

>THEN spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

>Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

>All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

By obeying authority because Jesus or God commanded it, it is in faith and john 19:11 applies

>Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

<but anon, the authorities ordered me to do something evil such as killing 2 samuel 13:28-29

>Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

>And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.

>And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

Absalom was given the glory for sinning, and not his servants in verse 30. But there is a fine line between obeying the powers that be to please God, and the authorities that are ordering you to do something directly against God such as worshipping idols that you or they have their conscience defiled as idols in daniel 1 and 1 corinthians 8. Or calling a man on earth your father, for one is your Father, which is in heaven. So preety much things that directly threaten your relationship with God Himself as to defile your conscience. Why is this important? Because you mentioned

>Look at how many of them were soldiers in the Roman army. Cornelius, George, Mercurius etc.

They were acting in faith of submission to the higher powers in accordance with romans 13:1. But the crusaders, or atleast the leaders, were not acting in faith because they are to submit to evil higher powers such as Satan that are of God until Jesus recieves the kingdoms of the world in revelation 11:15, BUT ONLY are they to be submitting to that evil in faith, as anything not of faith is sin romans 14:23. If you are submitting to that evil for personal gain, then it is sin.

Why do you call what God says literally in the Bible, shit? Not a arguement.

It doesn't say "save your hide in cowardice" it says

>For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

<exercise in Talmudic reasoning to say that those other passages condemn self defense.

I don't say they condem self defense against those who are not higher powers such as chickens and beasts or even other humans/beasts. But rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft 1 samuel 15:22-24 against the higher powers romans 13:1 who are ordained of God.

<guess who organised the armies of the Crusades? That's right, the secular powers whom you yourself said we are prohibitted from EVER resisting

That's why I mentioned at the end of >>649213 since you didn't bother to read it or look up the scripture

>But the crusaders, or atleast the leaders,

So the crusaders' leaders weren't glorfying Christ by their actions. And anyone in their armies that was not acting in faith to follow romans 13:1 would also be worshipping/serving/gloryfying satan instead of Christ since you can only serve one master matthew 6:24 and anything not of faith is sin romans 14:23.

<"Jesus was a bad Christian because didn't submit to Satan, who is of God".

Think about that for a moment, we as the bride of Christ in 1 corinthians 12 are taking on the name of Jesus in marriage. Jesus Himself in matthew 23 said to submit to evil pharisees/wordly powers and Jesus Himself submitted to the higher powers, even to the death of the cross. That's why in 1 corinthians 15:31 paul mentions "I die daily". Which is in reference to the taking up of the cross daily in luke 9:23. Refute my arguement with what God says in the Bible if you disagree. Don't use the (((babylonian talmud))).

You are deliberately trying to conflate these two things. Defending yourself from people that trying to hurt you and those around is not the same thing as attacking a person or group of people because to take revenge for something they did to you.

Yes, but it's evident that's what it meant because Jesus and the disciples frequently disobeyed the powers over them for the sake of spreading the Gospel and working miracles, or was Jesus not being a good Christian?

On the off chance that you're not trolling, please find a preacher or a priest(that isn't something stupid like a Quaker or a Unitarian) and ask him to help you understand the Bible better because your interpretation is deeply, deeply flawed.

This is why I said Jesus submitted to the higher powers, because God is the highest power. Jesus was perfect and sinless, His flesh was not serving the law of sin that is mentioned in romans 7:25. Therefore He was just to obey the Highest power when lower powers disagreed with what God said. We on the other hand are sinners who are screwed to serve the law of sin in our flesh and God in the spirit. Hence the example of chain of command in john 19:11 where the person above pilate had the "greater sin" as they receieved the glory for sinning against Jesus not a good thing. Now instead of just filtering me because I quote the Bible, why not refute my arguements completely using the word of God? Or do you fall under john 8:43-47?

>Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

>Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The Kataeb Party and the Lebanese Forces allied themselves with Israel during the Lebanese Civil War. The Lebanese government before the war was controlled by the Maronites, who are Catholic. Eventually Palestinians started coming to Lebanon in waves and the Syrians were getting involved to, so a war broke out between government forces lead by Michel Aoun, Maronite radicals Kataeb/LF, a Shi'ite/leftist alliance (supported by Syria, for a while), and the Palestinians. There's more to it, but it was overall a giant mess, so it would be impossible to explain in 1-2 paragraphs.

The Syrian Social Nationalist Party (or SSNP) was obviously on the pro-Syrian side. The majority of it's members are Greek Orthodox.

That's cute. Bachir only allied with the Israelis because the Christians didn't have enough weapons and ammunition, and no other country, especially Muslim countries, were willing to help them. It was either ally with the Israelis for a while or suffer extinction from the Muslim hordes. One more thing, you claim that the kataeb and mainly Bachir were Zionist. In all of his speeches, Bachir clearly says that he wants to be President of ALL the Lebanese. To add to that, Israel wanted a peace treaty with Lebanon when Bachir became president. Bachir didn't want to sign this treaty. The next day he was killed. Tell me again he was a Zionist puppet.
