I guess this on the first page isn’t regarding forced belief either?

for this reason we are willing to lay down our lives for our friends/neighbors. Because you will invade and enslave us


There is a big difference in the Eastern Roman Empire - a nation/state - defending its citizens against invasion by a foreign power - whether Muslim or not - versus beginning a Crusade against some nebulous enemy based on religious beliefs.

None of the Crusades - outside of the 1st - were successful in doing anything to protect Christian inhabitants nor European pilgrims. Furthermore, the Crusaders did not stand shoulder to shoulder with the Eastern Roman Empire to withstand the Ottoman invasions.

It was the very assaults on the East by the West that weakend it and opened it up to conquer by the Ottomans.

Where did I say or infer that?

quote:

Im eastern orthodox, bet you didn't know that.
What parish do you attend? No Orthodox would ever defend any violence in the Name of Christ nor so glibly refer to the 4th Crusade as just “bad blood”.

If you’re Orthodox, ask your parish priest their opinion on your views.

Your understanding of the motives and accomplishment of the Crusades is not correct and you really should read up on the history.

quote:

"The greatest love is this- to lay down your life for your friends" - CHRIST


And Christ took up not a sword but a cross as He laid down His life for His friends.



St. Paul wrote this to the Christians in Rome to NOT take up arms against the PAGAN authorities on behalf of the Church…

Have you heard of St. George? St. Demetrios? St. Eustachios? The list goes on and on of Christians serving in the Roman army who did not bear the sword to spread the Gospel but instead were martyred when told to renounce their faith.

If you want to support a majority Christian nation in its fight, go join the Russian Army which is fighting a godless leviathan.

So defending pilgrims being raped and sacked while on their way to the holy land is not a Christian thing to do?


That’s what you think they did?

Why Did the Fourth Crusade Sack a Christian City?
quote:

In 1202, the Fourth Crusade took an unexpected turn when it attacked the city of Zara. The Crusaders plundered the city, raping and pillaging the Christian inhabitants.


quote:

The diversion of the Fourth Crusade from the Holy Land to attack, capture, and pillage the Byzantine city of Constantinople in April 1204 divided and dissipated the efforts of the Christians to maintain the war against the Muslims. It is widely regarded as a shocking betrayal of principles out of greed.


Sack of Constantinople

None of this is of Christ.

A belief in Christ as the only begotten Son of GOD and Redeemer of man can never be forced on anyone.

The Crusades were not about Christ but earthly power (papal and king).

Brother in Arms,
I apologize for calling you out previously. Please forgive me and wether or not the posts’ names are changed, God speed and Go Army, Beat Navy!
Imagine not being able to refute one thing I typed.

You’re obviously not a leader…just a blowhard. The man didn’t cause Nuss to throw the ball to the other team. Kelly didn’t cause the DB’s to check down to boundary receivers vs slots; you obviously never played the game:

Have you ever run a company and hired the guy everyone (Mathieu) said was an awesome guy and yet he failed? Tell me you’ve never been in charge without saying it.
Imagine calling yourself an LSU fan and then dogging on your coach who just signed #1 transfer class…Kelly wasn’t resp. for covering receivers nor dropping balls.

Ever notice what the majority of these neocon warpigs have in common? They never served in the military and if they actually did, i.e., Mrs. Graham, they were desk jockeys.

Biden should be charged with giving aid and comfort to the enemy - Ukraine.

Finally. This is the way. Tired of our troops from our Dept of DEFENSE being sent to foreign lands for meaningless reasons when we should have been posted up on our border to stop a literal invasion.
