Php 3:5 (KJV) “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;”. And in Act 22:3 (KJV) “I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.” These words written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit should remove any…

the penalties earned by sin” (Richard Abels, par. 1). During the Medieval Time Period, the Christians would take pilgrimage to the Holy City of Jerusalem until it became increasingly dangerous as the Muslim Wars of Expansion threated the Holy City of Jerusalem. This sparked the Crusades: a series of Holy Wars where the two religious groups fought for the Holy City. Because of these “Holy Wars”, an elite group called the Knights Templar were created. Nearly a thousand years ago, religions…

Source Analysis: Pope Urban II’s Fiery Sermon Number 1: What language and quotes would motivate people or inspire people to leave everything for a crusade to the Holy Land?

The First Crusade began in 1096 after Pope Urban II’s speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095. One version of Urban’s Speech at Clermont was recorded by Fulcher de Chartes, a priest who also participated in the Crusades. While this version of Pope Urban II’s speech is one of the more reliable sources of the said speech, there is still a great chance for bias especially as Fulcher de Chartes was a crusader himself. This one speech, whether or not it was an accurate recording of what Pope Urban…

Pope Urban’s speech largely displays the intolerance of other religions from the Christians.. Pope Urban stated “a race utterly alienated from god...has invaded the land of…

There are many people and religious sects that resemble the Scribes and Pharisees from when Jesus was walking the earth. Even though there is plenty of evidence of the events that took place some two thousand years ago, people and religious groups do not believe they had taken place.

When Jesus was dealing with the questions of the different religious sects of the day, He…

With the conclusion of the Council of Clermont came with a rehearse show of power of who will serve the leader of the Roman Church forces (John Ott, 10/13/2016). The crusade was to help the Latin Christendom bothers in the east, the king Alexios I Komnenos. The king of Continoplas…

then he spoke, “don’t hurt me.” It was late and I was tired, so tired that I barely heard my other colleagues usually I hear Derek on the phone yelling at a woman who talked about how the council had taken her son away from her yelling, “I’m going to put a stop to this.” It all didn’t really bother me the council was evil and they did take people and their lives, but that’s just how it is and I’ve learned to live with it so far.
