Thanks to the Roman emperor Constantine who saw the strength and love of the true Christians. He decided to make Rome 'Christian' and take on the cross as it's symbol. He introduced Babylon mother and child worship to the empire. You are right many have died in the name of the cross, even during the inquisition many real Christians died. Jesus said *[[Joh 4:23]] KJV*
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He never called Christians to fight for him. *[[Joh 18:36]] KJV* Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. We don't need to fight for Jesus he can look after himself. He could have called 12 legions of angels to save him from death but he willingly died so we could receive the Holy Spirit.
The day of human pentecost begins the second after we take our first breath, or you could go even further back to when the sperm enterd the ovum, everything else is a faddism, it really is.
The Young-star is born innocent and unaware of its surrounding, yet it knows where the breast of plenty lies without instruction, man made instruction is called religion and from there on it is down hill towards the bottom of the mountains that only a few are allowed to climb to join the imaginary Moses and master mason.
As long as we keep our heads stuck in a book not of our making we cannot do what comes naturally a trait we were all born with, this is easy enough for any race, creed or religion to understand, who are in constant opiate resolution within their minds, which cannot be their own unless it includes words, but ideas without wisdom.
