Since we have many pagans who beset Jesus’ favorite forum I decided to discuss some of the Christians who brought Jesus’ message of love to them. Naturally the medieval Order of the Teutonic Knights leapt to mind.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Knights

The Tuetonic Knights were founded during the Crusades as a German fighting order along the lines of the Templars (who are much slandered in the blasphemous Da Vinchi Code). After Jerusalem fell to Saladin the Teutonic Knights relocated to northern Poland to battle the pagans there. You see the south Baltic coast was infested by pagans who worshiped trees, roasted people alive in religious ceremonies and their shaman told the future by watching bears possessed by the dance. With the number of sailors wandering about these costal villages in other words the kind of place Rachael and Lilith would be at home. Christ love needed to be spread so the Teutonic Knights attacked.

Their struggle against the pagans lasted into the 15th Century when the pagans finally got the message, converted to Christianity and allied themselves to the Poles and defeated the Teutonic knights.

Are they good Christians?

Pro:

• They killed pagans and Muslims by the boat load.
• The way the ran the Prussian state they founded is a clear example of how Christians should run America after Jesus takes over.
• Serious head gear. Some of the helmet crests can put a Rio Mardi Gras costume to shame.

Con

• Not English speakers.
• No member of the Order were Republicans.
• The Catholic Nazis pattered the SS after them.
• They remained in the Catholic church after the reformation, thus rejecting Jesus.

This last item brings up a sticky theological point. As we all know sins are punished on the sinner’s descendants but are sins retroactively counted against ancestors?

Just picture it; some pagan village sleepily getting up in the morning to start their daily routine of tree humping only to be set upon by white robed soldiers. The unarmed, helpless pagan men and their harlot witches scatter about as they cut down, their bodies pilled up and burned. Their children are then chained up and led away to be soul saved and to repentance by working off their crimes against Christ as servants on the knights farms. One can see Jesus smiling on these good acts of these Christian soldiers and their gore covered swords from Heaven.

Discuss.

I have to ask Pastor, were these Knights Kattlickers?
They may have done some good work in relation to Heathens, but ................ well................. were they themselves a Cult?

It may be another reason to put them on the "Con" side.

I am giving them a pass on their Catlickerism since the KJV1611 hadn’t been written by God yet. The Teutonic knights after 1611 are clearly not Christian and are hell bound.
However before 1611 and not American are two points against them for being Christians.

Hmm, were the Teutonic Knights a cult? Good point because Christians do not belong to cults, they belong to Christ’s Church.

Dictionary.com sixth definition of the word cult seems to apply the most here;

6.a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

So were the Teutonic Knights

• Considered false? I have never heard of any accusations of false dogma against the knights (outside Neds decrying the hole concept of Godly war against evil) No
• Unorthodox? Fighting orders were normal for the time. No.
• Living Outside Conventional Society? Yes. But, Christians are charged to do that by Christ
• Extremist? No. Pagan slaughter is main stream TRUE Christianity. It is the current John 3:18 heresy that is extreme.
• Charismatic Leader? Interesting question with their Grand Masters (not to mention the homer overtones of such a title). However there does not seem to be a cult of personality surrounding these men so I am going to say No.

So they have a one yes out of six. Frankly I do not personally see anything abnormal about men doing God’s work while dressed in white robes.

Yes Sister. Deep down it is free and easy in Jesus' regiments.

Are they good Christians?

The Teutonic knights were defeated by the Polacks? I take it this must have been after 1611, but still, the mind boggles. I mean, the FRENCH were able to conquer Poland, so anyone who was defeated by those Slavic degenerates must have been cursed pretty heavily by God.
