In a globalist, politically correct system of government, where any minority is given preferential status over the majority, especially a Christian majority, some things just have to change. That is the case with having a school mascot and nickname of “Crusaders.”
How could a Christian school expect to get away with a mascot that is not Sharia compliant in the first place?
The school, Maranatha Baptist University in Wisconsin has announced they will drop their old name, but haven’t yet determined.
The Crusades were so long ago, and with the increasing pressure to accommodate Islam in all aspects of American society, they might as well go ahead and get it over with. Besides, what relevance could a fight by Christians against a Muslim jihad sweeping across their continent possibly have in today’s world?

I was thinking the same thing. Wimps
Given this cave I don’t ever expect to hear the word “dhimmi” again. Fair trade, right?
Unusual that a Baptist school would choose the name to begin with. When I have discussions with my Baptist brethren about the Catholic church most of them invariably use the Crusades as an evil Catholic wrongdoing.
I agree that the nickname is offensive - to Catholics. No Baptist could ever be a Crusader. That belongs to Catholics and Eastern Orthodox alone.
I find beheadings offensive and there is no comparison between a beloved sports team name and senseless messy killings by moon team fanatics. A harmless name for heads is not equal anything.
Muzzies need to stop being so bigoted and intolerant.
Losing a name that is an offense to others is a small wound so that a platform for the Gospel may be proclaimed.
Oh, good grief. Whatever. Baptists spread the word of God and contend for the faith just fine. It was a POPE who betrayed the Crusaders — the Knights Templar, by the way.
“Oh, good grief. Whatever. Baptists spread the word of God and contend for the faith just fine.”
Baptists only spread the Word of God as they see it - not as it actually exists. They only spread the faith as they see it - which only dates back to 1600 and was not given by Christ.
“It was a POPE who betrayed the Crusaders — the Knights Templar, by the way.”
No. It was the King of France, Philip the Fair, who betrayed the Knights Templars. The pope at the time, Clement V, had every reason to believe Philip’s reports. A papal court later exonerated the Templars but the order was already dissolved at that point. By the way, the Templars were not the only crusaders. They were one of many crusading orders and most crusaders were never members of any crusading order anyway. I spent years studying this stuff and I doubt that you have.
You know nothing about me — and do not know what I have studied or not — so don’t assume. That’s mind-reading, by the way. As for the other, no, spreading falsehoods and heresy are what Catholics do best. Spreading God’s Word is what Baptists do — not a made-up Gospel handed down from a “made up history”.
Re: Clement, he was no innocent. History shows they were clearly allies — he and Philippe le Bel. Nice attempt at a save, but he was as guilty as Philippe in the accusations, tortures, and killings.
Catholicism is a heresy. As much as it would like to claim Christ’s blessing, its collective attitude towards Scripture shows what it is: a Satanic lie. Many are deceived into believing what Catholicism puts out there, but the fact remains that Scripture does not support Catholicism, or its “works-based” Gospel. Your posts tell me plenty, too, by the way. I thank God I don’t serve a puny Savior who has to have my help to save me! I thank God He doesn’t require I worship other humans (Mary, made-up saints, etc...) in order to gain access to Him. I thank God that I have a real relationship with Him which isn’t based on what I do, but on what He has done. Period. Catholicism is a type of slavery. I pity those who believe they have the Truth based on what their officials have made up over a few centuries. (And despite what Catholics have been told, Roman Catholicism isn’t nearly as old as they would like to believe!)
I will pray for you and all who are trusting in a system and an organization to save them. I will stick with God’s Word as revealed in Scripture, thanks.

Protestantism is a heresy. As much as it would like to claim Christ’s blessing, its collective attitude towards Scripture shows what it is: a Satanic lie. Many are deceived into believing what Protestantism puts out there, but the fact remains that Scripture does not support Protestantism, or its “sola fide” Gospel. Your posts tell me plenty, too, by the way. I thank God I don’t serve the puny Savior of Protestantism whom you believe doesn’t have the power to make you like Him through His death on the cross! I thank God He doesn’t require me to lie like Protestants do about what Catholics believe and whom they worship. I thank God that I have a real relationship with Him which isn’t based on what I do, but on what He has done. Period. Protestantism is a type of slavery and stupidity. I pity those who believe they have the Truth based on their own rambling interpretations of Sacred Scripture they made up over the last few centuries since Protestantism began with Martin Luther sitting in the cloaca - such a fitting place for it too. (And despite what Protestants have been told, Protestantism isn’t nearly as good or true as they’ve been told!)
I will pray for you and all who are trusting in a false Protestant system and false Protestant sects that God in His mercy will save you. I will stick with God’s Son, His Word, and His Church as revealed in Scripture, proven by history and guided by the Holy Spirit, thanks.
Only one problem with what you’ve written: Protestantism doesn’t trust in a system or an organization to save. We trust God’s Word. Therein lies the difference. Nice attempt at copy and pasting, but the difference between the two could not be wider! Trusting in the Holy Spirit while reading God’s Word is God honoring and He has said He reveals Himself through His Word.
Trusting in a system which CLAIMS extra-Biblical truths clearly outside of, and in most cases in contradiction to His Word, is not and does NOT have God’s blessing. I pray one day you will understand the difference. (And, please, not more copy and pasting “I know you are but what am I” type responses!)
No, you posted lies. Ah, well, that’s what Catholicism teaches, isn’t it? So....the Gospels aren’t inspired??? That’s seriously your position?? Then we have nothing further to discuss because we have no common source for Truth.
There is no “protestant interpretation” by the way. There is what the Holy Spirit directs because He indwells each believer — but, again, I guess I wouldn’t expect a Catholic to understand that because the trust there is in what Catholic priests, bishops, and Popes say rather than what the Holy Spirit says and following His direction. Catholicism only accepts what men within that organization say is the Truth. Such a lie — and so sad.
“No, you posted lies.”
Nope. Not a single one. But you did.
“Ah, well, that’s what Catholicism teaches, isn’t it?”
Nope. And there you go again.
“So....the Gospels aren’t inspired???”
Oh, so you can’t even read what I posted? Sure. Let’s try again. Show me the verse that says Matthew wrote a gospel. Show me a verse that says that Matthew’s gospel is inspired. Can you? Even one? Nope.
“That’s seriously your position??”
Nope. But apparently you’re more than game to claim it is when it isn’t.
“Then we have nothing further to discuss because we have no common source for Truth.”
In other words you can’t show me the verse that says Matthew wrote a gospel or the verse that says that Matthew’s gospel is inspired.
“There is no “protestant interpretation” by the way.”
Of course there is. That would be the interpretation that only Protestants believe.
“There is what the Holy Spirit directs because He indwells each believer — but, again, I guess I wouldn’t expect a Catholic to understand that because the trust there is in what Catholic priests, bishops, and Popes say rather than what the Holy Spirit says and following His direction.”
The Holy Spirit never directs people to believe falsehoods - like Protestant interpretations. And Protestant interpretations are falsehoods.
“Catholicism only accepts what men within that organization say is the Truth. Such a lie — and so sad.”
The falsehood is what you’re posting. Why do Protestants seem to need to make things up so often?
Better re-read what I posted rather than making stuff up along the way — per Catholic dogma.

On this we agree -— which is why He does not, never Has and never WILL support made up doctrine outside of His Word: no extra-Biblical pronouncements from on high, no dogma instructing prayers to Mary and the Saints, no sprinkling of babies, no purgatory, no salvation by works. His Word is the God-breathed and inspired Word of God (and yes, I can find passages to support this, but if I can — so can you — beginning with 2 Timothy 3:16, John 1:1, ...) and He has declared that NOTHING shall be added or removed from it. Catholicism is a case study in adding and removing things from Scripture. May the Lord reveal their deception so they can know the Truth. Amen and amen.
