An informative article that illustrates the disparity between Christianity and the Crusades, as well as the strong correlation between the Muslim faith and the principle of Jihad.

Jesus said that His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36), and neither He nor His apostles ever advised that Christians seek to establish it though political action or insurrection. Jesus taught nonviolence generally (e.g., Matt. 5:38–48) and He never instructed that His gospel be spread coercively; rather, He told His disciples that if they were not willingly received in a city they should shake the dust off their feet and go to the next city (Mark 6:11). The New Testament further instructs Christians to be law-abiding, exemplary citizens of the state in which they reside (Rom. 13:1–8; 1 Pet. 2:13–30), while remembering that their ultimate citizenship is in heaven, from which they await the return of Christ (Phil. 3:20), who alone can—and will—establish the awaited theocracy on His return (Rev. 11:15–18).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2C2137CA-8A5C-48BC-8332-017C2154E751/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
