Some here in this thread bad-mouthed John MacArthur and made
accusations against him. My point in the post about the wars was
to say that true Christians have a long history of being very unkind
and accusatory to each other and even in some cases being very
hateful to each other
in the name of "I have the truth and YOU DON'T.
And in many cases Christians killed other Christians in the tens of
millions -- their motives for killing each other is 100% irrelevant to my
point which was the reality that in fact they did kill each other. That was
the ONLY point I was making. And it is not arguable.
Here is the post to which you refer. See the bolded red which was the
main point I was making.
______
We live in the age/epoch where Christians kill each other by the tens
of millions in wars. Some examples: the American Revolutionary War
was fought between Christian England and Christian America.
The American Civil War was fought between the Christian North and
the Christian South.
World War 1 was, for the most part, fought between Christian nations.
World War 2 was (except for Japan) fought between Christian nations.
So in all that up there we had Christians killing Christians and by the tens of
millions too.
So?
So it would be nice if Christendom had more tolerance for the various doctrinal
disagreements among Christians when there are good reasons to believe that there
is no major doctrinal heresay involved.
Nobody believes that John MacArthur is a heretic on any major Christian doctrine
because everybody knows he is not.
Yet reality tells me that tolerance is NOT going to happen. Why not? Because humans,
and especially we John 3:3 regenerated Christians, are a warrior species. Humans are
aggressive and adversarial and combative - and THAT is a fact.
