I wonder if ‘Sonny” is an Anglicized version of his name
I thought this was satire, but apparently it’s not (?)
Capt Hernandez needs to go back and read the Constitution. He may be a Chaplain, but he still took the oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Idiot should be stripped of his commission and sent packing.
Enjoy your new career Sonny.
The chaplain doesn’t understand a theological/moral right versus a secular right.
God gave us free will; we should use it to do the right things, but we may choose to do the wrong thing.
They just had to get a quote from that idiot Mikey Weinstein blaming it on Trump. Mikey is an embarrassment to all of us USAFA grads. A complete jack off.
My thought on it is different.
I wouldn’t blame it on our troops serving out their commitment and trying to focus on their duty.
I do think bad policy decisions are made at the top.
As for Islam vs Christianity, if folks want to join and be an Islamist, I wish they would do it in the part of the world that accepts it now. Go there. Enjoy your life. Leave us alone.
Our leaders have no business bringing in a people who do not want to become Americanized, but only wish to dominate.
Our leaders have no business bringing potential terrorists to our shores, and that will remain so until Islam decides to grow up and join the rest of the human race in respecting other people’s beliefs.
So far all I see is a demand for us to respect Islam.
We hear how Islamic role playing is incorporated into our schools. I have never in my life heard an Islamic entity introducing Christian role playing to improve understanding on their part.
I NEVER see Islamic people urged to respect Christians.
Until they do, I’m not a fan of them being in our nation, even if born here.
They aren’t interested in being Americanized. They are only interested in building dominance.
Not buying in.
He is correct in that if they are true followers of Christ, His law is higher than the Constitution. On the job, they are to obey the laws of man and Government. In their hearts, they are to obey “a higher law”. This may be a deliberate reporting of the situation.
Sonny can believe anything that he wants to believe. I’m fine with that.
However, when he decided to take a job with the USAF, he signed paperwork that, among other things, acknowledged his place in the scheme of things. Chief of the Thought Police, and Chief Inquisitor were, I’m quite certain, not even jokingly thought to be part of his job description.
I’m pretty certain that Sonny will be a preacher somewhere, but not while wearing the USAF uniform for much longer...and I certainly hope not past this weekend.
Sorry Captain Hernandez but the United States is not a theocracy. It is a constitutional republic with certain rights enshrined in its constitution, including freedom of religion. This is, by the way, the same constitution that you presumably swore an oath to preserve and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. All of which begs the question... were your really that ignorant when taking your oath, or were you simply lying? In any event you are manifestly unfit for military service. Please turn in your uniform and military ID on your way out of the building. Have a nice day.
With all due respect to Capt. Hernandez, I think that he needs to consider Romans 13:1-2. That passage shows that the Holy Spirit led Paul to clarify that God has established all authority, including the Constitution imo.
Insights welcome.
An Airr Force chaplain gets paid whether he is performing a communion, a shabbats, or a ritual.
He is paid to be a chaplain for ALL the military members, without exclusion.
For him to speak condemnation, is not in
the military chaplain manual
I think Paul did it right in Acts 17 when he was at Athens. yes, get out your Bible and read the chapter. :)
All service members have taken the oath to support and defend the Constitution. Taking an oath to defend the Constitution, does not require a service member to compromise their own sincerely held beliefs in the process, nor does it force a service member to accept a worldview that is antithetical to their own. According to the First Amendment, there is freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. Therefore, Christians in the Armed Forces should feel free to espouse and practice their convictions, and even deny participating, or accommodating a religion or practice that would cause them to sin—regardless if it offends others or not.
Military chaplains are not forced to do anything that would violate what their conscience dictates, and chaplains are not allowed to conduct themselves in any way that would compromise their ecclesiastical endorsement convictions. This is why it is imperative that Bible-believing military chaplains align themselves with the right endorser that has sincerely held beliefs that appeal to Scripture alone, and will not support or accommodate evil.
Therefore, if military chaplains are criticized by individuals for not accommodating all service members, and are told to resign from the military since they cannot care for all, just ask them this question: “Does the free exercise of religion apply to ‘all’ service members or only service members whose beliefs concur with yours?” If the response is: “Military chaplains must provide for all or they are not fit to serve,” they are now guilty of violating their own criteria of providing for all, since they are establishing a religion that requires every service member to accommodate evil even if their sincerely held convictions prohibit them from doing so. However, if they respond to the question by saying that the free exercise of religion is for “all,” simply tell them: Thank you very much.
Anyone who disagrees with Sonny Hernandez is clearly a racist bigot.
(That’s how it works, right?)
A Marine Corps officer once told me that the military has a lot more chaplains than are needed. There are plenty of churches and pastors right outside the gates of most U.S. military bases. Some chaplains would be needed for deployed units. Is it true that a chaplain with a commission gets the same pay as an infantry officer? I used to go to the officers club with my father when he was alive. We would go to lunch in the officers club and about half the officers were chaplains.
What flavor? American Methodist, Dutch Reformed, Presbyterian? German Lutheran, American Baptist, what???? I know there’s a lot more that I can’t recall the names of.
Luv to go fishing with this Tard....NOT....
Use better bait....
Wonder what the truth actually is here, before jumping into believing anything coming out of those sources.
As President Trump has so aptly named them, "Fake news!"
