Please go to our register page ! I was just on another forum where a man stated he went to kill atheists for Jesus...he did not find it wrong at all. Firstly, I am so horrified by this I cannot tell you. Also, did I miss something? I don't remember Jesus preaching to the masses that they should murder anyone who isn't a follower? How can this be justified? And the same people that support this action are going on hate rants in regards to other religions that kill in the name of their god. 51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. 53 But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. 54 And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" 55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. 56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them.

The crusades justified a lot of bloodshed against infidels, so perhaps it is based on historical justification, rather than the teaching of Christ? (I now the reason and the "enemy" was different than today). Personally I think it is emotive language to wind people up. There is a lot of that in forums in general, it wouldn't take place if they were sat looking one another in the eye.

As Jesus didnt encourage that sort of behaviour. Well I am not sure it was to wind people up. It was on a christian forum, in a christian only section. Posted by a long time christian and long time member of that site. 51 Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, 52 and sent messengers before His face.

And they went to another village. The man who stated he wants to kill atheists? I wondered if you have replied to him and asked for his justifications, I expect it will be emotive rather than based on scripture. I am unable to reply to him because its in the christian only section, but someone else replied to him speaking against what he said with the use of bible verses etc. His response was that he didn't care about the teachings of second and third century christians, and also had no regard for the teachings of paul. He went on to say that they are meant to kill the enemies of Jesus as was stated in Luke 19:27 which I just posted after I looked it up. So I dunno if it really is against what Jesus taught, or if perhaps the verse is being taken out of context.
