CAMPBELLTON, New Brunswick, March 11, 2024 – When you fight in a war to kill “the enemy”, you strengthen the devil’s forces. Sure, you might temporarily stop, disarm, or even defeat your military foes, but in killing them, you give the victory to your spiritual enemies.

All wars are human sacrifice. The purpose of this form of sacrifice is not, as soldiers are told, to “die for your country” or for any other allegedly noble cause but to enable evil to grow. This is the sole purpose of war and violent revolutions: to increase the percentage of evil in the world.

Human sacrifice does not make things better for a nation. If it did, God would not only have allowed it but blessed and mandated it. Instead, he commanded us not to kill. Jesus said that if we are his followers, we will keep his Commandments and we will love our enemies. Loving our enemies does not involve killing them.

Yes, Jesus advised us to get a weapon when the time comes, but he didn’t say to use it with lethal force. Our weapons are for deterrence purposes only. I’m talking to Christians here, genuine Christians. Jesus never asked us to kill anyone in his name, though he did warn us that we might have to die in his name. If Jesus never asked us to kill in his name, then we are not to kill under any circumstance.

All wars are human sacrifice. All killings of humans are sacrifices, whether done rashly in the heat of the moment or coldly at the point of a needle. All killings are human sacrifice, and every human sacrifice expands Satan’s turf and makes the forces of evil stronger.

We need to consider this now and in the days to come, because God’s saints will be tempted to take up arms. But there’s no such thing as a “Christian soldier” who kills humans. It’s not God who’s calling us to kill in his name and it’s not God who’s tempting us to take up arms with the intent to kill: It’s the devil masquerading as righteousness. And as we know, the devil is very good at his masquerades, which means the temptation will be very strong.

All killings of humans are human sacrifice. This includes euthanasia and, of course, abortion. The purpose of all such killings is to increase the percentage of evil functioning in the world. Evil attends on the killer, following him home and taking root wherever he lives. Nothing improves in the life of a killer following the kill, not in the godly sense. There is no godly improvement in the life of a killer as long as he remains unrepentant.

Millions of Americans identify as Christians, but how many of them would kill in defense of their country, property, or family, or even kill in defense of their right to kill?

Every killing of a human by a human is human sacrifice. When you support the killing of humans or demand it as a right, you’re serving Satan.

God doesn’t demand human sacrifice; Satan does.
