Ah, here's this little insignia used as a belt buckle and possibly a button -

You may be right Nate. however both you and I cannot deny, that Christendom, the active religion in the form of the religious social structures that dominated the continent was highly politically motivated, and had a tremendous grip on political affairs across Europe. and at the end of the day, this is the Christianity that matters. that a monk in Bavaria protested the woes brought by the central church in satirical work is lovely, but that monk is meaningless in the greater scheme of things.Yet we have these texts carefully preserved into the 16th century.
Christianity is a WORLD RELIGION and not every church IS THE SAME.
This is the sad fact I have been talking about.
Regardless if it IS or is NOT the Christian practices faith today. IT IS the foundation for it, it is Christian history..... FACT!
Stop trying to segragate yourself as a better Christian, your BOTH serving the same savior!!!!
Not to mention that the Eastern church split from the western Church over a thousand years ago.
Lumping all of Christianity into one history is ignorant.
There were only about 3 centuries in which Christians practiced gospel tradition.
Hitler's extermination of the Jews had nothing to do with religious motivation. It was economicsI don't think those people were crazy. Their beliefs were influenced by the understanding and interpretation of their religion at the time.
Denying the gospels?Really?
What do you think we're doing right now?
Out of the thousands of Christians denominations in the US? I'm too humble to say. but large sectors of Christians in the US are deeply involved in politics and influence of foreign affairs, and this is what is relevant for me, because it has a direct influence over my region and national affairs.Really?

I9 people were killed at the Salem Witch Trials. Plus, who's to say that maybe some of them might have actually been witches. Ex. 22:18So... Millions of people have been killed in the name of Jesus Christ. Historians have estimated between 15 million killed in his name. This mostly includes Jews (WWII), Witches (Salem Witch Trials), and Pagans.
I am confused, I may not be the sharpest on Christian religion. However your saying that the Christian religion split before Hitlers "version", so all Christians can't be help responsible for the same exact symbol they are worshipping? Is that correct....

I was going to say "Perverting the Gospels to fit your needs".Denying the gospels?
True, however witch burning ran rampant in Europe...I9 people were killed at the Salem Witch Trials. Plus, who's to say that maybe some of them might have actually been witches. Ex. 22:18
I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that he is saying you can't take the history of one group/sect/version/denomination of Christianity and claim that it applies to all groups/sects/versions/denominations of Christians.I am confused, I may not be the sharpest on Christian religion.

Were these murders Christian worthy? Or were the people that killed them just straight up nuts?
That's what I said, apparantely doesn't work, "different" Christians.....Pretty much anyone who kills anyone is a straight up nut, unless it was in self-defense.
But in this case, it was not.
Don't forget the Crusades and the Christians killing the other Christians for not worshipping in a "Christian" way.
It is a rather humerous paradox.
It made for better irony.I wonder why you would present the OLD Covenant as support for it.
This may be another good forum topic but I'm just going to throw this one out there anyway... Do you thing the Bible was a good influence back then? To all the people who killed? There are verses here and there about how God and Jesus killed, or would have killed those that didn't believe.
It's all seemingly one big box of chocholates to you, throwing all those who ,by lip service, espouse to christianity into one big mixing pot....:no:I love how you can discriminate within your own community.
Those people who killed in the name of Christ didn't really know him... Give me a break, they were Christian murderers killing in the name of the Christian god. You can twist it any way you want with your "interprutation" but it's bolagne.....:yes:

Maybe you have skewed view of who I am associated with and what a community of born again spirit filled Christians actually are, that is compared to those who just carry the title, but live contrary to everything that Christianity pertains to.
That would make for a great topic, as well !!!!!!
I am speaking of the distinction between religion with true christianity.
I do disassociate myself, as well as many others I know with those who Jesus spoke of in the gospels:
Mat 15:8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
Luk 11:39And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
