How was life as the average crusader? Good? Bad? Somewhere in between?
They were opportunists and bandits taking orders from the Pope.
Brainwashed Catholics fighting for Babylon and their crypto pagan cult.
They sacked Constantinople, bunch of savages.

>They sacked Constantinople, bunch of savages.
durr its almost as if the byzantine emperor didn't renege on a deal and his debts to the crusaders because of his own incompetence
They were mercenaries.
Europe was a feudal shithole, so people wanted to escape that.
They were pretty barbaric.
At one point Muslims thought that all Europeans were cannibals because of how the crusaders acted.

There are no "denominations". There is Christianity as embodied by the Holy Catholic Church, and then there are a billion retarded German heresies.

Poor bait.
>>449918
Apostolic succession is unscriptural.
I agree that tons of Protestant denoms. are retarded, that doesn´t mean Catholicism is the truth.
Baptist/Fundamentals are the most pure and early form of Christianity.
It goes back to the teachings of Paul.
Why do you Catholics always ignore the book of Romans and Acts?
>>449935
lol what, Catholicism doesn't ignore that at all.
>>449929
>im a christian
>but i dont believe in scripture
catlick logic.
>>449942
Then why does Catholicism put so many barriers between the believer and God?
The Bible clearly states that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ.
Catholics are the same as Pharisees.
>muh traditions
>muh rituals
Just as the Pharisees killed Jesus, so has the Papacy killed millions of Bible believing Christians.
>>449946
Christians believe in Christian scripture. Ever heard of Jesus?
You people on the other hand are obsessed with Jewish shit, why don't you just convert to Judaism?
>>450068
>cherrypicking what you like and ignoring the rest
The Bible is a collection, its all the inspired and preserved Word of God.
You cant just pick and choose, retard. If you believe in Jesus and His teachings, then you believe in the Genesis creation story, the Israelites and the upcoming judgment in Revelation.
Call yourself a Peterist, Maryist or Papist, but not a Christian.

No part of the Bible is the word of God, what are you a Muslim?
Christianity is Jesus Christ, his words and deeds. That's why it's called CHRISTianity.
>>450112
Jesus talked about creation and reffered to the Israelites. He also speaks highly of scripture.
Now you are not only cherrypicking scripture, now you are literally cherrypicking what Jesus said and ignoring things you don´t like what He said.
>>450112
>part of the Bible is the word of God
lol catholics are retarded.
Bible IS the Word of God. Bible consists of scripture, written by authors in guidance of the holy spirit.
it doesnt surprise me, since you catholics worship the pope more than God.
Watching threads degenerate into Christians arguing with each other is actually really fun

He referenced it, which is the only reason that shit is included in the Bible. At no point did he affirm that Jewish mythology was literally true, he only used it as reference because he was speaking to a Jewish audience.
>>450154

Stop trying to paganize Christ, blasphemer.

The crusades were pretty rough for most people. Most of them weren't actual soldiers, they were just average citizens. A lot of them struggled to find food to eat during they're pilgrimage.
>>450168
The councils doesnt mean shit.
They are mans work, not Gods work.
The canonization of scripture simply reaffirmed what every Christian already knew.
The Papacy is a tyrannical, secular, carnal and political institution that has nothing to do with actual Christianity.
Constantine´s conversion wasnt even genuine.
Rome simply took on the christian flavour and mixed it with pagan traditions and beliefs.
Pagan gods became saints.
Pagan fertility queen became Mary.
voila, birth of Roman Catholicism.

We don't.
But Protestants certainly ignore the books of:
Tobit, Judith, 1st & 2nd Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach & Baruch
Considering you REMOVED them from the Bible. And attempted to remove Jude and Revelation.
Pope is an antichrist.

Why did catholics ban the reading of Bible?
Because people would realize that the Roman church is the Whore of Babylon mentioned in Revelation.
you burned at the stake MILLIONS of CHRISTIANS.
you called them heretics for simply believing in Jesus Christ alone, not in priests or popes.
>>449966
>Catholics put up barriers between believer and God.
>In reality Catholics literally come face to face and physically touch Jesus Christ every single Sunday and sit with him in communal, internal prayer as they both become one.
You can't even make up the stuff protestants think is true about Catholics.
Also if you are such a Bible believer then why does your Bible not contain the Books of the Bible read by Christians for 1500+ years? And where in the Bible does it say anything even remotely like Sola Scriptura? And how was Sola Scriptura possible in the time before the Bible was put together?
>>450196
catholics are the ones ignoring half the bible and adding in their own doctrines and traditions which have nothing to do with Christianity at all.
>>450205
>Catholics ban reading of the Bible
Where do you even come up with this stuff?
Every Church has Bible study, not to mention the Gospel is read at Mass every single day along with non-Gospel scripture; and on top of that the Liturgy of the Hours is all Scripture, plus Lectio Divina is sacred meditation on the Word of God.

It was illegal to translate the Bible.

So that they had to listen to your child raping priests.

they believe mary remained a virgin forever, even though the bible says she had more children with joseph
this is how dumb catholics are
>>450243
I never said 'all protestants are literalists', I said that one was. Of course I would never say 'all Protestants are' anything considering there are thousands and thousands of protestant 'churches' all claiming to be correct.
>>450241
>Asking people to pray for you is bad.
Is this really what Protestants believe? Or do you actually believe we 'worship' Saints?
Paul went around Asia minor and Greece setting up LOCAL churches ruled by LOCAL elders.
God did not tell him set up 1 monolithic church ruled by 1 man.
>>450232
First off: the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible IS a translation into the vernacular.
Secondly translating the Bible was NOT illegal by any means it it did happen; it was just rare because of the nature of writing, reading, etc. at the time and made more since to have a 'universal' language, ie: Latin that would last for all time and across all borders.
Alfred the Great himself translated the Bible into Old English; for example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_translations_in_the_Middle_Ages
That is why many of the 'vernacular' translations from the middle ages became simple sacred-language text while the Latin translations are still very much studied.
>>450259
you certainly practice idolatry
catholics have so much in common with the pharisees its not even funny

>just an intercession btw, ask God to do it
Catholics.
>>450276
>muh Vulgate
Which uses the corrupt Alexandrian and Siniaticus manuscripts.
Egypt was a hotbed for Gnostic heresies.
The Reformation based the Bible on the Textus Receptus, the majority Greek text.
>>450276
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHcf3E8qOqA
Catholics base their Bible on manuscripts found in a trash can.
>>450290
I didn't say anything about which Bible is the best translation or worst or most historically accurate or anything: I said you are wrong about it being 'illegal' to translate the Bible into the vernacular in the middle ages.
Catholicism is Pagan Christianity.
Protestantism is Jewish Christianity.

Here OP, since no one else gave a real answer with sources:
http://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/344bern2.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Rule
Templars obviously aren't the 'average' Crusader but at least it's primary source material on everyday life of some very prominent Crusaders.
>>449857
Idk why Christfags get so buttflustered when the crusades are brought up. It's like they either clam up entirely (usually an improvement) or they throw a shitfit like they didn't get the right type of barbie for xmas.
Every religion that has been around for that long will inevitably have shitty things in its past... how can you subscribe to a religion and not own up to EVERYTHING under it's belt? How do you justify that other than just pure denial? I mean, it's not like you did that yourself, what are you so afraid of?
>>449788
The Byzantines had no debt to the Crusaders. They sieged the city and arranged a deal where they placed an exiled prince on the Byzantine throne, the latter which promised to pay debts that the Crusaders owed themselves to the Venetians. When lo and behold the money didn't exist in the first place they ransacked the capital like the niggers they were.
>>449760
Cannibalistic.
Glorified savages.
>>450183
>Weren't actual soldiers
No.
Outside of the peoples crusade, what you just said is FUCKING BULLSHIT.
Crusaders were soldiers. If you weren't, you weren't getting a patron to support you (generally meaning a lord) and that meant you weren't even getting to the holy land.
Transporting men via boat was expensive. Feeding them was expensive. Extra hands were more disease risks, and made forces more unwieldy.
Random farmers weren't going to be going if they didn't have arms and the ability to use them.
Meaning semi-professional or better troops across the board.
>pilgramage
A crusade and a pilgrimage aren't the same fucking thing.
Crusaders are likely to be pilgrims, but most pilgrims aren't crusaders or combatants of any stripe, though they are likely armed with staff or sword, as most travelers were.
>not enough food
Depends on what crusade and where you were.
>>449788
They didn't owe them any money. At all.
The fucking crusaders owed the dirty wops money, and took it from the empire.
In so doing they crippled the best defense against the turks that europe had.
Dirty fucking Venetians are directly responsible for the turks having territory on mainland europe.
