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."
