US Army defines Christian ministry as 'domestic hate group'
FoxNews.com ^ | 10/14/2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 10/14/2013 12:12:19 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

“The instructor said AFA could be considered a hate group because they don’t like gays,” the soldier told me. “The slide was talking about how AFA refers to gays as sinners and heathens and derogatory terms.”

The soldier, who is an evangelical Christian, said the chaplain defended the Christian ministry.

“He kept asking the instructor, ‘Are you sure about that, son? Are you sure about that?’” he said, recalling the back and forth.

Later in the briefing, the soldiers were reportedly told that they could face punishment for participating in organizations that are considered hate groups.

That considered, the soldier contacted me because he is a financial contributor to the AFA ministry.

“I donate to AFA as often as I can,” he said. “Am I going to be punished? I listen to American Family Radio all day. If they hear it on my radio, will I be faced with a Uniformed Code of Military Justice charge?”

The soldier said he was “completely taken back by this blatant attack not only on the AFA but Christians and our beliefs.”

Barry and the commie ‘RATS have taken over the newly fabulous Pentagon. Uncle Adolf used Ernst Rohm and his homosexuals to rise to power and then, once he was in charge, he killed them all. It’s like deja vu all over again.

As Christian, the Catholic Church states very clearly, as any Protestant Christian church would, that homosexual behavior is sinful, but that, all of us being sinners, we are to love the homosexual.

There is no question of dislike, hatred, judgement or anything of the sort.

Vice versa is true in a case where homosexual militants demand that their lifestyle is to be accepted and condoned

And there is misinterpretation.

But there is no such thing as hatred or dislike allowed in the Catholic Church

Just saying

I need to see the PHOTO!

A soldier who attended the briefing contacted me and sent me a photograph of a slide show presentation that listed AFA as a domestic hate group. Under the AFA headline is a photograph of Westboro Baptist Church preacher Fred Phelps holding a sign reading “No special law for f***.” “

_______________________

this is a travesty.

Equating AFA with The Westboro CLOWNS...is beyond ABSURD

whoever is responsible for doing so needs to be called on the carpet..

Why isn’t there now an avalanche of support and a gargantuan push for a federal marriage amendment to repudiate the Supreme Joke’s DOMA decision? I think it’s doable, but not if people are going to cower in the shadows.

And there is one group that hangs gays. Yet the military is expressly forbidden to criticize them or to call them what they are, a hate group.

Take control of the government by declaring all your opponents to be "hate groups" and sending them to "reeducation camps."

Where have we seen that before?

It is absolutely essential that the officers who promulgate such rot and anti-Americanism be identified and purged when there is a Republican commander in chief.

There is no need for subtlety at all about this. What they are engaged in is as repugnant to good order and discipline as if they were advocating communism or Nazism.

I regard it as extremely serious that such political officers, “Zampolit” as the Soviets called them, are not just allowed to spread their disease unchecked, but are authorized to punish those who do not conform to their indoctrination.

I was looking at a Son’s of Liberty flag today, and the first thing that came to my mind was “By His stripes we are healed” IS 53:4-5

And once we understand that concept, nothing anyone does against the faithful really matters. THe government is on His shoulders.

Praying for those who are persecuted in the US military.

If Obama and his backers have their way, we will never see another "conservative" CIC.

This is a Liberal/Communist coup.

Disgusting. As I’ve said, if you’re a Christian in the military, I thank you for your service, and encourage you to get out as soon as possible. You’re fighting for a government that hates your guts, and I doubt God would want you to risk your life saving unsavory filth like this instructor.

God asks us to dedicate our lives to His service as we can. The American military of today is NOT in service to the Lord. It is a den of sexual immorality and persecution.
If you desire the military life, look into PMCs.

I am with you 100%.

Have you read the recent story about the general in charge of nuclear weapons who was just purged by Obama on some ad hoc charge to be replaced with a Pentagon pencil pusher.

Know the names of those who collaborated with the disgrace usurper and purge them.

We should at least be honest enough not to insult them with half-truths. Yes, it IS a question of judgement, and we shouldn't shrink from such a reality.

After all, they are judging US on this issue.

I accept Homosexuals as they are. Sick, mentally ill human beings. I don’t care what they do with consenting others who are also sick.

If they would just be happy to go along with that it would be fine, but they aren’t. They try to convince others to join their sick society, they try to recruit our children, they hide in public toilets and offer sick sex.

Then they try to convince heterosexuals that their actions are normal.

If we don't get unified and start pushing back soon, we'll be in FEMA camps before we can push back.

Excuse me, but yes we do. 1 Corinthians 6:9 makes this point beyond dispute.

We should not shrink from judging because God tells us to judge.

In Catholicism, it is clearly interpreted and instructed in the list of Works of Mercy - to admonish sinners, (reminding them and/or informing them) what their Creator tells them not to do in order to be happy, healthy and to gain eternal life with Him.

Admonishing involves judging. That’s how the deviants will take it, and we can’t sugar-coat this fact.

So, admonishing does not first presuppose judging that a behavior is wrong?

If this is the Catholic teaching, thank God that I’m not of that politically correct persuasion.

I did not say that it didn’t. If that’s how you want to define judgement go ahead.

In Catholicism, judging is what God does after you’re dead. We use the word judge for what you are saying it is, interchangeably with discernment. It’s fine

Add me to the list. I am too old and stove up to do any running. And me begging or pleading on my knees is out of the question. Long ago I made my peace with my Maker. One way or the other it will end in my yard. I will not go alive to one of Obama’s or Hillary’s camps.

“Take control of the government by declaring all your opponents to be “hate groups” and sending them to “reeducation camps.”

Question: What is the Negro Nazi party ruling America going to do with REAL hate groups like the New Black Panthers?

Answer: Deputize them as Federal Marshals.

Any group that doesn’t agree with Obama’s sodomite agenda is a “hate group.”

The anti-military, anti-Christian paper-hanging muslim-in-chief has effectively destroyed the US military, by allowing the hostile takeover by sodomites into the US military and women into the Special Forces and infantry and his blatant persecution of Christians. It will take years to fix what this bastard accomplished in eight years. Carter and Clinton’s hatred of all things military was bad enough, but they were nothing compared to this treasonous, Benedict Arnold SOB.
