The Yezidis believe in a false god, a god who tested his angels by commanding them to do something that violated a previous command. One angel somehow figured out that he should obey the first command and disobey the second command, and was rewarded with rulership over the earth. The Yezidis now worship this angel.
The Bible calls this (and worship of any other false god) idolatry. And ironically, ISIS also calls it idolatry and has determined to exterminate as many Yezidis as they can. The Bible would call that murder!
But if the Yezidis continue to reject the true God who made them and who made a way for them to be forgiven by the death of an innocent Substitute, they will face an fate far worse than ISIS. There are no rescue helicopters from hell.
If journalists can risk their lives to get photos, why can't Christians risk their lives to preach Jesus to the Yezidis?
