False religion teaches hate and death not love

  1

2 Timothy 2:24, 25
24and a servant of the Lord must not engage in quarrels,
but must be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and patient.
25 He must be gentle when he corrects people who oppose him,
in the hope that God may give them a change of mind so that they recognise the truth

  2

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

  3

Matthew 26:52
Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

  4

2 Corinthians 10:3, 4
For although we are human, it is not by human methods that we do battle.
4 The weapons with which we do battle are not those of human nature,
but they have the power, in God's cause, to demolish fortresses.
It is ideas that we demolish,

  5

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.

False Religion is Identified by:

Its history of causing the death of millions of people.
Failing to teach people the truth about the God of love.
Teaching twisted things rather than Bible truth
to draw away the disciples after themselves.
