But Jesus said, “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. The disciples thought he should be stopped, because he was not one of them (Jesus’ disciples) and Jesus had not commissioned him or given him the authority to do what he was doing. Jesus’ disciples were complaining to Him that they’d observed a man ministering and driving out demons in Jesus’ name. And that’s your ‘trump card’ against the alleged argument.Īn ideal example to illustrate this is found in Mark 9:38-40. Just as Islam has its radicals who do heinous things that the majority of Muslims would never consider - so do does Christianity have its radicals who do heinous things that the majority of Christians would never consider. The point shouldn’t be lost on Christians though. Please forgive us.” It’s a pretty powerful message. What these people are doing is not done in the name of Islam. Just as Islam has its radicals who do heinous things that the majority of Muslims would never consider - so do does Christianity have its radicals who do heinous things that the majority of Christians would never consider.I saw protesters this week in Libya holding up signs that had messages such as this: “Dear America, we’re not all mad at you. (They felt that any translation of the Bible was blasphemy.) In the moment, they thought they were doing good - protecting the integrity of the Bible. During that period in our history, Christian Europeans were savage people and behaved in awful ways. Perhaps the saddest example was when the Bible was first translated into English. And Christianity has an ugly history of persecuting others. Most of the wars fought in the history of mankind are said to have been fought over religion or religious ideals. So have other wars.īut the sad truth is that enough killing has been done in the name of religion to be taken seriously. I suspect his slaughter of Jews ranks pretty high up there. have resulted in Christians doing more killing than anyone, ever, in the history of the world. I don’t think any of us knows whether the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Salem witch trials, etc. The statement itself probably has enough truth in it that we should take it seriously. For what? What is being argued for or against? How does this belief support their position? I believe that context could matter. You say they’re presenting it as an argument. I suppose it would depend on the context in which they sent it. What would you say to this argument someone sent me? “Crusades Inquisition, Salem witch trials? Christians killed more people than anyone.”
