At the In 'n' Out restaurants, they have Bible references on the bottom of their cups. I went there because they had great burgers, not because of the cups.
The cause of Christ and the gospel will not be frustrated if these references are omitted from scopes in the future.
Muslims (supposedly) revere Jesus as a great prophet. They aren’t going to object. Its marxists who get heartburn at any kind of biblical reference. And anything military.
It's also appalling that these would be provided to our troops as standard issue equipment. Not all of our troops are Christian, and Jews are as likely as Muslims to have a religious objection to being expected to use weapons bearing New Testament inscriptions. It was absolutely idiotic for the manufacturer to be doing this, and any millitary official who knew about it and didn't put an immediate stop to it, should be facing disciplinary action.
I'm on it. He will be exposed.
“God” is pretty generic, and even sane atheists don’t object to it, since it can be construed as just a symbolic name for whatever great unknown force accounts for the existence of the universe.
And just how many moslems would know what those letters ment? How many would have abible handy and how many could read the letters in their proper order?
Much ado about nothing, but the DUrs are going balistic over them and Al Jezera has reported about it.
Does anyone think that if we chisel the reference off of the scope, the muslims will forget that we aren’t muslim?
Yeah, because until this story came out, everything was peachy.......
I’ve been curious about this, since all the “codes” I’ve seen reference “light”: are these night sights?
Yes, light in the darkness.
Its very apt. Its a fake controversy.
Thanks.
