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?

From the Jews...
That would be grace alone on God's part thru works on the Catholics' part...I think we all know that...
Careful. You’ll be accused of having photo-shopped that. You know, if it’s not from the RCC, it’s not part of history, doncha know. (Though it remains unclear how a whitewashed/fictionalized version of history is actually “history”, but I digress....)
Nothing you posted negated or refuted anything I said.
And if you actually read Acts, you’ll see why some have called it the Gospel of the Resurrection. http://www.bibleinterp.com/articles/death357927.shtml
You might as well post about anything else since you have no evidence of sola scriptura.
I have no doubt that in your mind it didn’t. You just stick with your “most likely” version with the added “it could have been” theology. I’ll stay with “search the scriptures daily” and see that the RCC is mostly pagan.
You have nothing in common with the noble Bereans.
You mean other than searching the scriptures to see if what you say is true? LOL
Not quite, the first Christians were/are Jews and they gave their lives so you might believe Jesus is the Christ; as too did Catholics.
As did Judas. Catholics are some of the most arrogant people I have ever heard from. They are loath to give God all the credit.
I also think that all the authors were Jewish, including the physician Luke of course.
“You mean other than searching the scriptures to see if what you say is true? LOL”
That isn’t what you do. Let’s test your claim: Show me the verse that says Matthew wrote a gospel. Now, go search the scriptures and tell me where that verse is.
Nice try vlad but it doesn’t fly. You see, the Holy Spirit is where the words of scripture come from. Whether or not I can prove who God used is immaterial. It’s the Catholics who feel the need to give credit to man.
“It’s the Catholics who feel the need to give credit to man.”
You just keep making stuff up. We give credit to the Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ.
There. That's better.
Perhaps, since the Scriptures were written by men, copied by men, and delivered by men, it is important who passed what and that it was error free and authentic. There are lots (thousands ?) of strange cults, sects, denominations, and heresies even unto this day that modify the Scriptures. It was extremely important that the Scriptures be passed on intact and accurate.
They certainly have a commandment in common. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Not pagan, mostly Gentile, and Christian.

Did you check for that verse in the "Epistle of King James to the 144,000 Denominations with Hopelessly Contradictory Beliefs"?
(They wouldn't by any chance be making use of an obviously "non sola scriptura" source, and blatantly violating their own stated principles, whenever they specifically cite a reference to a text "from the Gospel of Matthew", would they?)
Yeah, uh hu, sure.
“We need not shrink from admitting that candles, like incense and lustral water, were commonly employed in pagan worship and the rites paid to the dead. But the Church from a very early period took them into her service, just as she adopted many other things indifferent in themselves, which seemed proper to enhance the splendor of religious ceremonial. We must not forget that most of these adjuncts to worship, like music, lights, perfumes, ablutions, floral decorations, canopies, fans, screens, bells, vestments etc. were not identified with any idolatrous cult in particular; but they were common to almost all cults” (Catholic Encyclopedia, III, 246.)
