Jesus defined the perimeters of what sin is. For example, he told his apostles that "these things I command you, that you love one another."(John 15:17) On his final night with his disciples, he spoke of love and loving nearly thirty times, three times repeating the command that they “love one another.” (John 13:34; 15:12, 17) He told them: “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends. You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you.”(John 15:13, 14)
Have the churches followed this directive ? Both world wars were started in Christendom, whereby the clergy on both sides fueled the conflagration by preaching their the cream of their youth into the trenches, with WWI (1914-18) taking an estimated 21 million lives and WWII (1939-45) some 55 million. Christendom's roots does not descend from Jesus, but rather from paganism. It was in 325 C.E. that the unbaptized Roman emperor Constantine founded “Christendom.” Its religious system twisted Christian doctrine and combined it with many of the Satan-inspired mysteries of ancient Babylon, which the Bible shows to be the mother city of all false religion, and is called in Revelation "Babylon the Great"(Rev 14:8) and of which any who wish to please God must "get out of her."(Rev 18:4)
Outwardly, the religion of Christendom may appear very beautiful, with its magnificent cathedrals, basilicas and churches, pompous processions and impressive music. But what is Christendom’s record? Over the centuries Christendom has plundered, colonized and suppressed defenseless peoples. History points an accusing finger at blood-spilling Crusades in the Near East, the cruel Inquisition in many Catholic-dominated lands, the Opium War against China, and also the cruel wars and religious strife of this twentieth century. World War I and World War II both started in Christendom, with Catholics and Protestants slaughtering one another indiscriminately. The command for Christians to "love one another" has been cast aside by the churches of Christendom, with the apostle Paul saying that these ones are "having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power."(2 Tim 3:5)
When you assault the members of the body of Christ you really need to
get your facts straight. The wars inspired, directed and conducted by atheist governments in the twentieth century alone amount to over
one hundred million dead. This is far more than the TOTAL of all religious wars in the history of mankind combined.
World War I began as the result of tension between European political powers and those of the east; the Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, etc.
The issues were political and economic, NOT religious.
World War II begin in CHINA in 1931 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The conflict there was motivated by the godless Japanese Imperial Empire in opposition to the Communist and Nationalist Chinese, none of which were Christian. In Europe the blood began to flow when the atheist NAZIs began to exercise political and military aggression against their neighbors. One of the parties to the conflict was the Soviet Union; also an atheist government.
The Opium wars in China were caused by British corporations, specifically the British East India Trading company and one other which eludes my memory. It was wholly inspired by corporate profit and greed and had nothing at all to do with religion. The Brits were peddling drugs/opium to the Chinese and the Chinese government attempted to stop it by force. There was nothing high minded or principled about it.
In actual fact, a group of Christians in the city of Shanghai created safe houses and small communities outside the city where those who were attempting to flee the carnage and abuse could find comfort and aid. These selfless people risked their lives and often lost all their possessions in the effort to comfort and support the innoncents who were caught up in war and the godless profiteers. During WWII in the city of Nanking, the godless Japanese Army raped and brutalized over 350,000 men women and children in a period of seven weeks from the end of 1937 to the beginning of 1938. Christians there created a Safe Zone where noncombantants and retreating soldiers could try to get food and rest.
If you want a short list of the atrocities perpetuated upon humanity by atheists, go to the rolls of the dead in Nanking, Shanghai, Buchenwald, Treblinka, Auschwitz, the Stalinist gulags and the Japanese Mitsubishi labor camps.
You are at liberty to hate Christianity as much as you like, but you are not entitled to use lies and baseless accusations to sell your dogma to others.
It is an historical fact that atheist religious bigots across the board seek to begin an argument with lies, to sustain it with indefensible fallacies and to completely ignore the conclusions of logic which are in opposition to their hate mongering.
In the end, they like their NAZI and communist bretheren, unable to convince by lies resort to restrictions of liberty by force upon those whose gospel they despise.
The atheist agenda has never been truth, freedom or the rights of men. Instead their purpose has been to assume power over the defenseless, to wage unremitting murderous war upon their neighbors and to practice unrestrained atrocities against any and every person they choose.
That is the sad and disgusting history of organized atheist governments and those who deny the divine spark in humanity. That is the truth which none who espouse that heinous philosophy will ever dare to admit or embrace.
Overcome with their own hatred of all that is right and pure, they point their ugly twisted arguments at those who have done no wrong and are guilty of nothing more than a deep desire to love and serve Christ and their fellow man.
Therein lies the true agenda and dogma of atheism in the modern era.
Suppress Christianity in all its forms and deny the truth where ever it raises its head.
If the reader seeks a true and accurate definition of sin, it is atheism.
