Genesis
4:8 ¶ And Cain talked with Abel his
brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up
against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Jews killed
Christians. Christians killed Jews. Catholics killed Anabaptists and
Protestants. Protestants killed Catholics and Anabaptists. Catholics killed
Muslims. Muslims killed Catholics and Protestants. Hindus killed Buddhists.
Muslims killed Hindus. Buddhists killed Hindus. Buddhists killed Muslims. It
just goes on and on throughout history. False religion not only kills true
followers of God, trying to worship God’s way, and not only them but even other
false religions as they try to justify themselves before God without following
God. We have a false belief today that if two parties are fighting and we know
one is wrong the other must be right. Of course, both can be wrong.
John
16:2 They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doeth God service.
Mark
15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying,
Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had
delivered him for envy.
The Roman Catholic
Church viewed itself as Christ’s kingdom on earth, ruling the earth in His name
and in His place, following manmade tradition, political violence, and
religious-inspired carnage. The British Empire believed it was put in place by
God with the King or Queen as head of the Anglican Church, God’s representative
on earth, spreading Christianity around the globe with cannon and shot.
Evangelicals in America had tremendous influence in foreign policy in the
disastrous events after World War One that set us up for World War Two and even
today push the government to support Israel and gloat about that support, even
though the American government works at odds with what is in Israel’s best
interests and tells that country what to do even pressuring Israel to give up
Gaza two decades ago causing the situation today where Israel’s very existence
is under threat. False religion murders, bombs, shoots, stabs, incinerates, and
whether they are Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or what, they then walk into their
self-made temples, mosques, or churches with heads held high proud of their
service for God.
And
so, Cain killed Abel in the beginning of all religious violence.
