Which lies? How many people did any of the Apostles/Disciples execute?

Rather I find them warning against heretics, not conducting inquisitions!

Christianity had killed 10 times the number muslems are will yet kill during the crusade. Christianity is older to muslem and they've learnt alot from series of wars and crusades they've undertaken therefore abandoning most of the evil contents in the bible.

How many Times have we explained this to ye atheists harden heart ? Dint Jesus command His followers to not only Love their neighbors but also we should love our enemy? Any christians acting contrary to this is violating one of the TWO greater commandment of God.

Op. Everything you said about religions , holy, Books. The same can be said of politics, infact politics has cause more death than religion, but politics cannot be eliminated from society; we can only try to find the right political formula.
Neither can we eliminate our religious need; we can only find the right religion.

Now listen to me you harden minded; Show me in the Bible where Jesus or His
apostles taught that He wants people to fight for Him with earthly weapons. Jesus even warn peter for drawing his sword to cut of the ear of a man who came to arrest Jesus, infact Jesus even say , if He want physical war, he would've send legion of angels to fight for Him and NOT human. Be careful not
to judge the Bible by the way people abuse it. Just because someone says they're a Christian does not mean they
are one! You never judge a philosophy by its abuse.

infact, it was the apostles who were killed for their faith. I copy this from truthman thread.

HOW THE APOSTLES DIED:
1. Matthew
Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia,
Killed by a sword wound.
2. Mark
Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after
being dragged by Horses through
the streets until he was dead.
3. Luke
Was hanged in Greece as a result
of his tremendous Preaching to
the lost.
4. John
Faced martyrdom when he was
boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil
during a wave of persecution In
Rome. However, he was
miraculously delivered From
death.
John was then sentenced to the
mines on the prison Island of
Patmos. He wrote his prophetic
Book of Revelation on Patmos .
The apostle John was later freed
and returned to serve As Bishop
of Edessa in modern Turkey . He
died as an old man, the only
apostle to die peacefully
5. Peter
He was crucified upside down on
an x-shaped cross.
According to church tradition it
was because he told his
tormentors that he felt unworthy
to die In the same way that Jesus
Christ had died.
6. James
The leader of the church in
Jerusalem , was thrown over a
hundred feet down from the
southeast pinnacle of the Temple
when he refused to deny his faith
in Christ. When they discovered
that he survived the fall, his
enemies beat James to death with
a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle
where Satan had taken Jesus
during the Temptation.
7. James the Son of Zebedee,
was a fisherman by trade when
Jesus Called him to a lifetime of
ministry. As a strong leader of the
church, James was ultimately
beheaded at Jerusalem. The
Roman officer who guarded James
watched amazed as James
defended his faith at his trial.
Later, the officer Walked beside
James to the place of execution.
Overcome by conviction, he
declared his new faith to the judge
and Knelt beside James to accept
beheading as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew
Also known as Nathaniel Was a
missionary to Asia. He witnessed
for our Lord in present day
Turkey. Bartholomew was
martyred for his preaching in
Armenia where he was flayed to
death by a whip.
9. Andrew
Was crucified on an x-shaped
cross in Patras, Greece. After
being whipped severely by seven
soldiers they tied his body to the
cross with cords to prolong his
agony. His followers reported
that, when he was led toward the
cross, Andrew saluted it in these
words: 'I have long desired and
expected this happy hour. The
cross has been consecrated by the
body of Christ hanging on it.' He
continued to preach to his
tormentors For two days until he
expired.
10. Thomas
Was stabbed with a spear in India
during one of his missionary trips
to establish the church in the Sub-
continent.
11. Jude
Was killed with arrows when he
refused to deny his faith in Christ.
Phillip
(crucified)—
Through his miraculous healing
and preaching, Philip converted
the wife of the Preconsul of the
city” of Hierapolis. Of course, this
event angered the Preconsul and
ordered that both Philip and
Bartholomew be tortured and
crucified upside down. While on
the cross, Philip continued to
preach and he was able to
convince the crowd and the
Preconsul to release
Bartholomew, while insisting that
he (Philip) remained crucified.
Bartholomew was released but
Philip died on the cross and was
later buried somewhere within the
city.
12. Matthias
The apostle chosen to replace the
traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned
and then beheaded.
13. Paul
Was tortured and then beheaded
by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome
in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy
imprisonment, which allowed him
to write his many
epistles to the churches he had
formed throughout the Roman
Empire. These letters, which
taught many of the foundational
Doctrines of Christianity, form a
large portion of the New
Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us
that our sufferings here are
indeed minor compared to the
intense persecution and cold
cruelty faced by the apostles and
disciples during their times For
the sake of the Faith. And ye shall
be hated of all men for my name's
sake: But he that endureth to the
end shall be saved.
Pass on to encourage other
Christians. — with Martyrdom of
the Apostles

Kindly show me from one of the books -the Bible- in your op, verses in the NT that 'inspired' the crusades.
Also show from the Bible how the apostles launched their crusades.




I specified NT because the Bible is not a set of random, unconnected books but it captures various dispensations as they unfold and the last therein which continues till now is the NT.

Picking and choosing bible verses you wanted to interprete to justify Christianity as a good religion rather than presenting both the immoral verses that encourages lethal behaviors.

Those crusaders took their inspirations from the Bible as muslems takes same from their holy book. There is no verse in the Quran that directly encourages suicide bombing and mass killing of infidels using bombs.

The crusaders linked and interpreted their actions (crusade) from the bible verses as you usually easily do interprete some verses literally or non-literally to suit a motive.

Picking and choosing bible verses you wanted to interprete to justify Christianity as a good religion rather than presenting both the immoral verses that encourages lethal behaviors.
nonsense!! did I quote any bible verse ? I say quote the verses were Jesus encourage violence.
Re: Which Of The Holy Book Is More Violent? Both past and contemporary times by malvisguy212: 6:17am On Dec 08, 2015
Crusadistic you did not have better argument to present only to copy and paste the same thing in all the thread. I say this to your muslims brother:

yes, the old testament is part of the bible but it doesent mean ALL the law in it apply to CHRISTIANS,the New Covenant SUPERSEDE and REPLACE the Old Covenant.Christians are only advice to learn from the old testament:

Romans 15:4
“For whatever things were WRITING
BEFORE were written for our LEARNING
that we through the patience and
comfort of the Scriptures might have
HOPE”

God has already given us A New
covenant and command us to follow .
Here what God say in Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 31:31-34
31“The days are coming,” declares the
Lord, “WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW
COVENANT WITH THE PEOPLE OF ISREAL
and with the people of Judah. 32 It will
NOT BE LIKE THE COVENANT I MADE
WITH THEIR ANCESTORS when I took
them by the hand to lead them out of
Egypt, because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to[ a] them,[b]”
declares the Lord. 33“This is the
covenant I will make with the people of
Israel after that time,”declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds and
write it on their hearts. I will be their
God, and they will be my people.34No
longer will they teach their neighbor,or
say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.“FOR I WILL FORGIVE
THEIR WICKEDNESS AND WILL
REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE .”

In the old testament their are laws that if you break, God will deal with you
accordingly, God love required justice,
so God deal with them accordingly, but in the book of Jeremiah God say “FOR I
WILL FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS AND
WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE
.”indicating God will have mercy and
"FORGIVE THEIR WICKEDNESS" no more
only if they ask for forgiveness.

This new covenant was fullfiled in the
new testament. The ten commandments
no longer apply as law because in the
doctrine of Christ they are completely
superseded. In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus demands much more of us than the ten commandments. He not only forbids murder and adultery, but also the CAUSE, hate and lust. We are to love God with ALL OUR MIND,if you love God you will keep His commandments, so the key word is LOVE. No wonder Jesus give the TWO great commandments involving love God and your fellow human. So, love for God
and fellowman, not just because there is a command: “You shall not kill”.Hope you understand now?.

How do you explained this ? Allah
SANCTION PROSTITUTION IN THE
QURAN:
There is a type of marriage in Islam that
is known as “Nikah Mut’a (Mut’ah)” or
TEMPORARY MARRIAGE. Fixed-Term
Marriage, Temporary Marriage or
PLEASURE MARRIAGE are different
names for the Arabic term, Nikah Mut’a.
This form of marriage is based on a
CONTRACT between a man and woman
with a fixed date of expiry. The man and woman will become strangers to each other after the expiration date. Its format is that the woman says the following to the man
“I married you to myself on such-and-
such a dower and for the known period
of time” – where this period is stated
exactly. The man’s answer will be: “I
accept.” The dower can be in the form of money or something else.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62,
Number 13o:
Narrated ‘Abdullah (b. Mas’ud): We
used to participate in the holy battles
led by Allah’s Apostle and we had
nothing (NO WIVES) WITH US. So we said,“Shall we get ourselves castrated?” He forbade us that and THEN ALLOWED US TO MARRY WITH A TEMPORARY
CONTRACT (2) and recited to us: ‘O you
who believe! Make not unlawful the
good things which Allah has made
lawful for you, but commit no
transgression .’ (Surah 5:87)

Surah 5:87: “O ye who believe!
Forbid not the good things which
Allah hath made lawful for you , and
transgress not, Lo! Allah loveth not
transgressors.” (Pickthall)

Is this not prostitution? When
muhammed jihadist was in a war as
usual, the urged for sex arrived, they are allowed to marry base on contract just to satisfied their pleasure. Satanic religion.

Those crusaders took their inspirations from the Bible as muslems takes same from their holy book. There is no verse in the Quran that directly encourages suicide bombing and mass killing of infidels using bombs.
This is like saying no holy book encourages the use of television for evangelism!



The crusaders linked and interpreted their actions (crusade) from the bible verses as you usually easily do interprete some verses literally or non-literally to suit a situation.
Anybody can misinterprete ANY literary work, hence shall we keep to direct commands in such holy books?
