Perspective on the Crusades
July 23, 2008 on 4:49 pm | In Uncategorized | Comments OffThe Crusades seem to be view by today’s secularist just another bunch of religious fanatics conquering and slaughtering in the name of their god. The Crusades are viewed much like radical Islam is viewed today. To the secular mind, there is no difference. It’s just the radical cause-du-jour. In a way, the secularists are right.
Indeed, the Crusades are a black eye on the name of Christianity. But the fact of the matter is that the people who perpetrated the crusades did so under false pretenses and did so for power and political reasons only. What many people today don’t realize is that while these military campaigns were supposedly conducted in the name of Christ, they were not led by those who were truly Christian.
You are as created
July 16, 2008 on 7:47 pm | In History, Philosophy, Religion | Comments OffI love the quote from C.S. Lewis that says, “You are a soul, you have a body.” Interestingly enough the manufacture of the human being by our Divine Creator happened in the opposite order of this statement, yet this statement holds true. We read the order of events in God’s Word. The account is found in the Book of Genesis:
“The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Gen. 2:7 NIV
