The Apostle Paul told Timothy, " Endure hardship, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
2 Cor. 10, " though we walk in the flesh, we do (not) war in the flesh, for the (weapons) of our
warefare are not carnal. but mighty in God, for the pulling down of strongholds." Ephesians 6:" for we (wrestle not) aga inst flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of (this) world, spiritual wickedness in high places. Put on the armor of GOD".
nooooooooo, please, this is such an anointed marching Song from the Salvation Army.......I was kind of born with this Song...the original one. So as much I love Petra.. I cant quite get warm to this version
over 1 million innocent dead? and you call it christs crusade? you call it holy? forgetting that christ said love your neighbour as yourself!, people like you are the children of satan, not christ, be careful who you claim as your father.
The Crusades during the middle ages were an abomination, and I don't think any Bible-believing Christian can condone the crusades nowadays.
The context of the song, however, is referring to the battle that Christ's people face against the forces of evil (temptation, etc), and looking forward to the day when Christ will once-and-for-all cast Satan out along with those who don't serve God.
@Booshman Muslims provoked the Crusades by killing Christian pilgrims, etc. and the Christians fought back. However, I do agree with your description of the song.:)
Hi there, funny thing about the Crusades... the Christians from Egypt had already "saved" Jerusalem from the Muslims by the time the Europeans arrived on the scene anyway. I agree it is a sad part of the history of Christianity. Have you seen the "Season of the Witch" with Nick Cage? It gives some more perspective on this. It must have been an interesting time 1300-1400AD.
@IRENIGMA888 Just sayin', i think your missing the point. I'm not going to get into a debate, but the sad truth is, only a select few will get into heaven, the others, will not. They will hear the Word, but because of their decision to not accept the Lord as their savior they won't get into heaven.
Maybe innocents pertains to those people? If that is the case, then it is not our fault, we loved them, and we tried to show them the way, but they chose not to believe it. So yes, Victory to God.
Thanks for posting this with the lyrics. I've never heard this version, it sure is different from what I grew up with. I think I like both versions. :-)
Yes, you can also find this song in the "Still Menas War" compilation. I rather present the track in the original proyect, track barely know through the years until that recopilation appears. And welcome, and thakns God for this ministry.
"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" -Alexander Solzhenitsyn, novelist, Nobel laureate (1918-2008)
Want safety in America, protect Israel, wipe out Muslims?
Absolutely awesome!!!!! You are revealing some unknown gems from my favorite band (secular and Christian) of all time!!!! I guess the CD to find this song is "Our Hymns"?

They were an example of corrupt leaders using Christ's name as an excuse for their own evils. People like them are the enemies of God.
