![ARE CHRISTIANS TO BLAME FOR THE CRUSADES AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS?
[1 of 3] Christians are often criticized for supposedly committing horrible atrocities during the Crusades. But I’m a Christian and I wasn’t there. I wasn’t involved in those crimes. Besides that, the despicable acts during the Crusades were not even committed by Christians. Catholic popes directed that behavior from their Catholic followers. I don’t defend the wrongful actions taken by crusaders because it was wrong, but Christians weren’t involved. A similar issue comes up with the Salem Witch Trials that did involve some so-called Christians. Those women at the time of the witch trails. Well, first, two wrongs don't make a right. And second, that barbaric and unthinkable behavior is indefensible but it wasn’t for a biblical reason that the witch trials happened. Hundreds of people were arrested, imprisoned, tried, and found quilty of practicing witchcraft. Nineteen of them were hanged, one was crushed under heavy stones, and five more died in prison. That is all horrible but those punishments for witchcraft were definitely not from God’s New Testament teachings for Christians! For this past 2000 years of the Church Age, God has not condoned those practices. Instead, we are Christ followers of the New Covenant, striving to
be like Him and not living under that pre-Christ Old Covenant! | image tagged in witch,crusades,bible,god,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qj51a.jpg)
![ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS BIBLICAL CHRISTIANS?
From this smattering of their beliefs, you’ll see that the answer is, NO: They deny the immortality of the soul, the eternality of hell, and the finality of the atoning work of Jesus on the cross. They claim Jesus' atoning work finished in 1844, our sins will ultimately be placed on Satan, we become unconscious at death (to be resurrected later), our own works are required to get us to heaven, the wicked will be annihilated, and, like Jehovah's Witnesses (an offshoot of SDA), they claim Jesus is Michael the
archangel. They also claim Ellen G White’s “visions” were from God. So, they added her words to their corrupted version of the Bible. Here are some of her “visions”: Jesus was not the oldest son of the VIRGIN Mary, we supposedly CANNOT be assured of salvation, Jesus did not finish His atoning work on the cross, Jesus was not God, some races of today’s people come from sexual relations between man and animals, the Tower of Babel came before the flood, and God gave the angels gold cards to get in and out of heaven [because He's apparently able to number the hairs on all our heads, but can’t keep track of His angels.] Ellen G White was a known plagiarist with up to 90% of some writings copied; all while she professed that her writings came from God. But, of course, God does not plagiarize. Does that sound like biblical Christianity? No. And it’s not just missing the Bible’s mark in a couple areas. It's a multitude of their beliefs. We’ve just touched on a few and anyone who does the homework on SDA will conclude that (like Jehovah’s Witnesses)
they are not, at all, biblical Christians. | image tagged in adventist,bible,god,jesus,cult | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4h0o9j.jpg)
