May the Holy Spirit strengthen Archbishop Mouneer and his congregants. The Anglican Communion is standing strong in the most surprising places.

Sacrifice?
Not until we have fought the low life slime to the end.
Death to Islam.
They say it about us.
It is long past time to return the favor.
In spades.

This Roman Catholic is fully prepared for his coming martyrdom. We only get to die once, what better reason than to go out fighting satanic mozlems?
Bring it!
Go, Trump, GO!

..and the Clinton camp is looking forward to empowering islam

Yup, that is what is needed. Get rid of liberty, rights and freedom!
Who needs democracy? It’s a Christian thing!

Whatever that’s called, alas, the bible does not call it Christian (actually the word Christian isn’t in the bible — the word used is the “Way”).
One thing that creates problems in Christendom is its behavior as though God had made it earthly territory promises, when its promises are in a different dimension. If earthly war can be avoided then it ought to be. Christians need to think outside of the worldly box.

Christians can advise, but qua Christians they can’t give orders on a secular scale.

Just a detail perhaps, but in the Acts of the Apostles it does say that it was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians.

Martyrdom should never be a goal. Take arms against those who would harm you.

Well put.
Sobieski and the Polish army that saved the West in 1683 would understand.

Acts 11:26 -
.and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Acts 26:28 - Then Agrippa said to Paul, Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?

To: elpadre
OK, other people called them Christians.
This is in the vein of “I am of Jesus” (but according to the flesh).
Jesus and the apostles and disciples themselves taught something more sublime, namely “the way.”
The bible records it, yes; stands behind the usage, no.

The word Christian is in the bible then — but correcting that my main point stands. It isn’t biblically advocated.

I would prefer Pattons aphorism on this, about making the enemy die for his country. How about a return to the church militant.

Good morning, HiTech!
Show me in the Bible where the Bible advocates calling Christianity "the Way".
Mind you, I'm not against the "Way" terminology at all. After all, Christ is the Way. And the Truth. And the Life. I'm just making the point that the Bible doesn't precisely "advocate" this as the designated term for His disciples, any more than it advocates, say, "Sola Scriptura."

"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church." Apologeticus, by Tertullian, 197 A.D.
Revelation 6:9-11:
"When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed."

The Church of self defense needs no martyrs.
