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.

FWIW, as a Baptist I would never want to be identified as a "Crusader". We have always advanced the Word of God with words, not swords. Those who think they made Jesus proud by using weapons in His name will find out at the White Throne Judgement that they were never one of us.

The Crusaders of old were NOT 'advancing' the Word of GOD per se; but trying to WREST control of the Holy Lands away from the false religion of ISLAM!

The Crusaders of old were NOT the ones who cleared the rubble from the Temple Mount and built the In-Your-Face Dome of the Rock!


The ARABS are the ones who advanced by the SWORD (if 'persuasion' didn't work)!
