False religion teaches twisted things rather than Bible truth

  1

John 16:2,3
2 They will expel you from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming
when anyone who kills you will think he is doing a holy service to God.
3 They will do these things because they have never known either the Father or me.

  2

1 John 4:8
Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love.

  3

Titus 1:16
They claim to know God but by their works they deny him;
they are outrageously rebellious and quite untrustworthy for any good work.

  4

Romans 12:17-21
17 Never pay back evil with evil, but bear in mind the ideals that all regard with respect.
18 As much as possible, and to the utmost of your ability, be at peace with everyone.
19 Never try to get revenge: leave that, my dear friends, to the Retribution.
As scripture says: Vengeance is mine -- I will pay them back, the Lord promises.
20 And more: If your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat; if thirsty,
something to drink. By this, you will be heaping red-hot coals on his head.
21 Do not be mastered by evil, but master evil with good.

Acts 20:29, 30
29 'I know quite well that when I have gone
fierce wolves will invade you and will have no mercy on the flock.
30 Even from your own ranks there will be men coming forward with a travesty of the truth
on their lips to induce the disciples to follow them.

It's history of bloodshed. In the middle ages, the Church
torchered and burned at the stake more than 30,000 people
Failing to teach people the truth about the God of love.
Continuing to teach twisted things rather than Bible truth
Continuing to draw away people from bible truth.

Remember Jesus said "Your word is Truth"
