THE RELIGIOUS ORDER "THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR"


YOU  MAY  HAVE  HEARD  OF  THE  HISTORIC  "KNIGHTS  TEMPLAR"  -  A  GROUP  THAT  WERE  NOT  ONLY  RICH,  HAD  CASTLES,  BUT  THEY  WERE  A  LITERAL  FIGHTING   FORCE.....SUPPOSEDLY  TO  DEFEND  THE  CHRISTIAN  RIGHT  IN  THE  HOLY  LAND.

I'M  UPLOADING  A  BOOK  ON  THEM;  GIVING  THE  HISTORICAL  FACTS.

IT'S  ON  MY  HISTORY  PAGE  ON  MY  WEBSITE.

BUT  YOU  HAVE  TO  ASK  YOURSELF,  WOULD  JESUS,  WOULD  THE  APOSTLES,  ORGANIZE  SUCH  A  FIGHTING  FORCE?  MEN  WITH  HORSES  AND  ARMS  TO  CHARGE  AND  FIGHT  PHYSICAL  BATTLES.  DOING  IT  ALL  IN  THE  NAME  OF  "CHRIST"  AND  CHRISTIANITY  AGAINST ISLAMIC  HORDES  OR  OTHER  ENEMIES  OF  A  ROMAN  CHRISTIANITY,  AND  TO  PROTECT  CITIES  LIKE  JERUSALEM  -  THE  WELL  KNOWN  "CRUSADER  WARS."  

IT'S  JUST  VERY  HARD  FOR  ME  TO  ACQUAINT   JESUS  AND  HIS  DISCIPLES  LIVING  BY  THE  SWORD.

I  SEE  NO  TEACHING  IN  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT  FOR  CHRISTIANS  TO  FORM  SAINTS  IN  ARMOR  AND  SWORD  TO  DEFEND  THE  CHRISTIAN  FAITH.

WHAT  HAS  BEEN  DONE  IN  THE  NAME  OF  CHRIST  OVER  THE  CENTURIES,  JUST  HAS  TO  MAKE  YOU  WONDER  IF  THEY  WERE  TRULY  READING  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT.  TO  ME  IT'S  LIKE  THE  CONTRADICTION  OF  THE  ONCE  WARS  OF  IRISH  CATHOLICS  AND  PROTESTANTS,  NOT  SO  FAR  BACK  IN  OUR  MODERN  TIMES.

WELL  THE  HISTORY  OF  "THE  KNIGHTS  TEMPLAR"  IS  INTERESTING,  THOUGH  SURROUNDED  BY  MANY  THINGS  I  HAVE  TO  CONSIDER  UN-CHRISTIAN,  EVEN  TO  HOW  THEY  CAME  TO  AN  END.

READ  FROM  MATTHEW  TO  REVELATION  AND  SEE  IF  CHRISTIANS  CAN  IN  THE  NAME  OF  CHRIST,  FORM  ARMIES  TO  LITERALLY  GO  OUT  AND  LITERALLY  FIGHT  AND  KILL,  THOSE  OPPOSED  TO  JESUS  AND  CHRISTIANITY.

SAD  TO  SAY  BUT  CHRISTIANITY  HAS  HAD  ITS  FANATICS  OF  VIOLENCE  AND  KILLING,  AS  THE  ISLAMIC  WORLD  HAS  AND  STILL  HAS.

SOMETHING  TO MEDITATED  ON.  HISTORY  IS  NOT  PLEASANT  TO  ACKNOWLEDGE  EVEN  CLOAKED  IN  THE  WORD  "CHRISTIANITY."
