Innocent
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Matthew 5:44
These instructions both inform our own way of life outward toward others, and provide us a clear lens whereby we are able to discern who are fellow sojourners on this same pilgrim way.
Our one Shepherd strongly rebuked his followers who wanted to destroy those who did not welcome them. And so we know that we follow Him Who is the Way so far removed from the one of a perpetually different way who said
“Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.”
Never before had this writer heard of this, never before heard these heinous words, never before heard tell of those horrific events. These are words of Satan, antichrist himself. Long has there been known strong opposition to that other way. Never had that same strong opposition been shared. Now hearing these things for the first time, it becomes clear that much more of the standard narratives are legitimately called into question than could ever before have been known.
Much that has been written and passed down has been tainted and is not true.
There are heretics and there is antichrist. Then, there are those called demonic and heretics by antichrist. There are those who call themselves innocent. Then there is the One Who alone is Innocent. There is only one true Christ, Messiah and Shepherd Jesus, Savior of the world.
God’s WORD alone is true!
In the past, God let all nations go their own way. Yet he has not left Himself without testimony.
Acts 14:16-17a
In every generation, God has preserved for Himself a testimony, a remnant witness to the Truth.
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:44-48
Wisdom in the WORD 
When they discovered, from the admissions of some of them, that there were Catholics mingled with the heretics they said to the abbot “Sir, what shall we do, for we cannot distinguish between the faithful and the heretics.” The abbot, like the others, was afraid that many, in fear of death, would pretend to be Catholics, and after their departure, would return to their heresy, and is said to have replied “Kill them all for the Lord knoweth them that are His” (2 Tim. ii. 19) and so countless number in that town were slain.

Instead, they should have examined that passage together in their own mother tongue to read what they should have done.
Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:19, 23-26
