The Crusades: Part 1

Dr. Roy Casagranda starts by laying out the backgrounds for the primary actors: the Arabs, the Romans, the Seljuks, the Pope of Rome, and the Normans. He proposes that there were three proto-Crusades: The Norman invasion of Sicily in 1061, the Siege of Barbastro by the Norman commander Guillaume de Montreuil of French, Burgundian, Catalan, Aragonese, and Norman soldiers in 1064, and Roussel de Bailleul's Norman principality of Galatia (1073-77). Finally, he starts the Crusades and gets to 1108.

Why should God let you into Heaven? Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us. So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven? Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

@@slowmotion3542 Repentance is the way provided for us to become free from our sins and receive forgiveness for them (WE ARE NOT FORGIVEN UNLESS WE REPENT). Sins slow our spiritual progression and ultimately stop it. Repentance makes it possible for us to grow and develop spiritually again. The bare minimum that God requires is to live a repentant life. The privilege of repenting is made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ/ So both Belief in Jesus as God and Repentance are needed. See 1 Corinthians 6:9 Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

I can't wait for part 2 and for all the parts to come, I hope you cover all The Crusades

[@usmansarfraz5494]

became a big fan of history by listening to you Dr Roy, I usually skip all these but i made special time to listen each of these. thanks you are wonderful Alhamdulilah!

[@Thecuriousjulia]

Excuse me why am I enjoying a history lesson at 3 am??? Dr. Roy is an amazing story teller and his comments are witty and on spot 👌🏻

[@Rajputwarrior_7]

Sir I'm from pakistan 🇵🇰 and this is the 2nd lecture I'm listening from kashmir really happy to hear you about the real events took place in Palestine and around , best of luck for the nest 3 parts of this crusades

Why should God let you into Heaven? Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us. So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven? Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven. John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved

​@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 So what was the point of Jesus dying on the cross???

[@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363]

@@choncord Because without a sacrifice there is no forgiveness of sins. God is just and all sin must be punished, so He sent His only begotten So. Now those who repent and Believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven and Heaven is in their future

[@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363]

@@choncord You will like this JESUS IS PROPHET OR GOD? People see miracles, signs and wonders and assumed Jesus to be simply a prophet. People assume things all the time, but they can be wrong. If someone sees you hang out with smokers and assumes you smoke and tells everyone, yet you don’t smoke. People get things wrong all the time but being wrong on Jesus divinity is a BIG mistake that shouldn’t be made. Jesus claimed to be ONE with the Father, so he claimed to be God hence the crucifixion but He also rose from the dead defeating death, I follow the living not the dead. Matthew 16: 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not [g]prevail against it.
