Epigraph
Dedication
First words
We are often asked why it is that we are conscientious objectors to war. This booklet is written to set forth the reasons why we as Bible-believing, nonresistant Christians are conscientious objectors to war. No doubt many people object to war in general, and some wars in particular, for a variety of reasons such as humanitarian, political, economic, social or personal reasons. But our objection to war is not primarily on the grounds of any such reasons but rather for religious reasons, as a matter of Christian faith and conscience.
Quotations
We stand by Wesley, when he said: 'Shall Christians assist the prince of hell who was a murderer from the beginning, by telling the world of the benefit or need of war?'

There are two marks of war which indelibly stamp it as antichristian -- murder and lying. These are the two identifying characteristics of the devil, who is spoken of in the Scriptures as a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
