God sent the Jews around killing ppl from surrounding villages, is that how the Crusades were justified.....?

well the Crusades and the conquest of Cannan were a little different. First the Crusaders often went in to villages in Europe and kill people were their was no enemy or army to fight. The Israelites fought wars against army's and fortifications. \n\nas for the 40 years no they were not walking around the Sinai dessert for 40 years. Most of the time they were camped in one spot. Read up about the spy debacle that will explain why they were their so long. \n\nAs for the killing we really dont know how much blood shead their was from the Israelite battles. If you notice Their is almost never a record of any Israelites dieing yet all the Canaanites they attacked did die? History tends to be written by the victor this is no different.

no it was christians who had crusades who killed indiscrimitaly and took their land who really started with terroism. the cathlic church burning and torturing people to convert have killed more people than any muslim nation. I am cathlic so I know our history.

So far you have found out 6 people will join the next crusade only to go to hell for not understanding their religion.  It is kind of scary.\n\nI can't think of any noble cause I would give my life for.  But I will take anothers life for messing with my family, brothers, or me.  \n\nDon't be in such a hurry to die.  You have plenty of opertunities to die without even tring.

It is only right to place the Jews first on the list of the Nazis' victims.\n\nHowever millions of Catholics and other Christians were also killed. No one knows exactly how many. I've seen claims of up to 42,000,000 but I could not find documentation for this number.\n\nAlso remember most the the allied military dead were Christians.

You idiot! I personally know a bunch of Jews who were killed in the towers. One of them happens to be my aunts brother. And there were many more. What do you say about that?\n\nIt's true that there weren't as many Jews killed, and there is a perfectly logical explanation for that. First of all Jews are only 1% of the worlds population so of course the percentage of Jews killed in the WTC would be less. Secondly, the week before the High Holy Days the we add some special prayers in the morning called "Selichos", which takes a very long time to say. There are countless stories of men who would have otherwise been in the tower, but were late just because of these prayers.\n\nG-d loves us and watching out for his special children. The lucky Jews who spent a few hours that morning begging G-d for a good year, where indeed saved just because of that. \n\nAND YOU'RE JEALOUS!!!!!!!

Here are some other gems for you(posted these in another thread) \n\nProof of the 'love' of God in the bible\n\n"God" slaughtered innocent babies because of Pharaoh's stubbornness: "At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.” (Exod. 12:29)\n\n"God" had babies dashed to pieces and pregnant women ripped open: "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)\n\n"God" wanted children to be murdered as human sacrifices: "I let them become defiled through their gifts - the sacrifice of every firstborn - that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” (Ezek. 20:26)\n\n"God" threatened to have innocent children be devoured by wild animals: “I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.” (Lev. 26:22)\n\n"God" threatened to have children cannibalized: "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.” (Lev. 26:27-29)\n\n"God" ordered the genocide of women, children and babies: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”” (1 Sam. 15:2-3)\n\n"God" aborted fetuses and murdered children in answer to the prophet Hosea's prayer: "Give them, O Lord – what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry .... Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." (Hosea 9:14-16)\n\n"God" murdered a baby because of David's adultery: “Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the son born to you will die." (2 Sam. 12:13-14)\n\n"God" ordered people to kill their brothers, friends and neighbors: “Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" (Exod. 32:27

I am not anti-semetic, however Isreal is using the same genocidal tactics against the indigenious people of the area they have conquested, that were employed upon them by the Nazi's in WWII. The Jewish state had not been in existance for 2,000 years, then one day they arrive in force and begin seizing land and killing off the people of the land. They should be included in the axis of terror, however becasue of the Judeao-Christian influence in America they are considered to be full filling the biblical phrophecy. I reject the Bible as does monst of the world as a work of historical fiction with over tomes of a superior race. What they are doing is racism,, it can not be excused.

This was a statement made by one of the leaders during the Crusades when a Christian soldier asked him how he was to determine who was Christian and who was not in the Holy Land because he did not want to kill other believers.\nSo to me this man was saying that killing innocents in war was justifiable because when they died God would know if they were innocent or quilty.  \nProblem is God also knows that your conscious is telling you that killing innocent people is wrong, thus bringing guilt upon yourself too.\nIf you make this statement now I would still believe you are referring to the killing of many people in war and I would still suspect that you are talking about a war between two different religions, ie Christian and Muslim etc.

there is a passage in the bible of the ten commandments that says that you cannot kill anyone, but there is also something in christianity and other religions that are trying to classify this sorta thing as a "Just War", which means that it's acceptable based upon justifiable cause. it's like in Islam they have what is known as Jihad (which has a few different meanings) but is commonly known as a "holy war" and is allowed because it's a 'just war'. they feel that it is the right thing to do because of the severity.

Europeans had an Alliance with the Jews way back during the time of the Crusaders.  They cooperate to control the European economy.

Israel was unfaithful to God and played the harlot with other gods (pagan) that God warned them against.  They worshipped those other gods and build altars to them on high hills even sacrificing their children to these pagan gods.  It was an abomination before God and He was angry with Israel.

The people who wrote the old testament had a great deal in common with modern day muslim extremists.\n\nA lot of moderately religious people seem to miss this extremely important detail every day.\n\nEdit - Samson killed himself dropping the roof of a temple on himself and his enemies...\n\nEdit - Do none of you Christians understand how you are completely validating exactly what I just said?  To the answerers here, saying Samson's "not like a terrorist" because he was doing "the will of God"... do you not see that you are speaking exactly like a suicide bomber?  :)  Seriously, think about what you've been force-fed, people.  Please, think long and hard about it.

Our sins were what Jesus died for. Also Jesus was crucified on a cross, that was done by the Romans. The Jews way would of been stoning. Give the Jews a break - they have paid plenty for anything they did with Jesus being put to death.\n\np.s. They are still God's people.

Well I look at it this way. The christians stopped mass killings of Muslims after the last Crusade, the muslims never stopped mass killings since the Crusades.

They were desperate for relief and Hitler turned a poor war beaten country into a super power.\n\nThe only thing he did wrong was killing millions of jews, pagans atheist, communist and homosexuals.\n\nWait isn't that what most christians want??

They killed a lot my friend,they commited many massacers also against muslims,i know that & u know it,\nbut the problem that a lot of ppl r convinced that israel is there friend and ally,they think they r nic ppl and they think that they didnt steel the land from muslims,all this cause of the zionist controled media and the pro-israel western leaders who r using there countries political powers and economical resources to support israel and justify there cruel actions against the arabs,which gave the normal western person a false impression that jews r  the VICTIMS.

:}\nThe Jews were God's chosen people. That makes Satan unhappy. He has used Christians, Muslims and pagans to bring hardship on them but God will insure their survival\nTheir existence in spite of their rebellion to him is a testimony to the existence of an all powerful loving God
