Hello!!!!!
Please tell me what unbeliever would be drawn to any event that has the overarching message of:
1. conquest by armies commissioned by the Catholic church
2. jihad

It is a fascinating thing.
Word choices really do matter.
Why is it that a few dynamic evangelists in the late '80's and early 90's could reinstate this word?

Preacher after preacher will rail against the "Kingdom Now" message but then we slump back into this world conquest tone of the Kingdom of God.

I really don't get it.

But this in NOT THE TOPICAL FOCUS of Thad's thread!! Sorry Thad for any sideways bump.
