Mikey Weinstein Rants Again, Equating Christians in Uniform with Jihadists
ACLJ ^ | May 29, 2018 | Skip Ash

Posted on 05/29/2018 8:29:06 PM PDT by OddLane

In yet another unhinged rant, Mr. Michael L. “Mikey” Weinstein, founder and president of the inaptly named Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), has once again claimed that the sky is falling in the U.S. military. And, once again, he has moronically equated sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the military to violent Islamic jihadism.

Mr. Weinstein has characterized sharing one’s faith in Christ in uniform as part of a plot aiming at “a systemic hostile takeover of the U.S. military by lunatic, fundamentalist Christians.” He has labelled Christian Service Members who simply wish to obey the Great Commission as a “cabal of deranged endtime warriors.”

What is the basis for Mr. Weinstein’s rant this time? He took grave exception to the following charge by a retired Air Force chaplain to Christian graduates in uniform at Liberty University:

God has divine appointments set up for you. He’s the King of kings; He’s the Lord of lords; He’s the Commander in Chief. He has called us to be His missionaries, His voice...

Weinstein had free reign to tear up the USAF under Obama. Is Trump finally shutting him out?

Mr. Weinstein needs to meet Jesus. The sooner the better.

The demons are in a frenzy around the world. . .they know their time on earth is limited to influence as many as they can to join them in the pits of hell. They know who Jesus is and they cannot stand to see anyone glorifying God. If you have ever seen anyone seething with their teeth clenched and eyes looking weird. . . you know what I mean. At the Name of Jesus EVERYONE will bow.

Too bad someone hasn’t arranged an accident for this arrogant POS.

[[“a systemic hostile takeover of the U.S. military by lunatic, fundamentalist Christians.”]]

The man is obviously ranting like a lunatic- why would anyone take him seriously? IF he can’t separate peaceful sharing of gospel and violent terroristic activities by muslims- then he’s delusional- period- and perhaps should be taken in for a psych evaluation

Allow it to be the Lord — anything else is Selfian, not Christian.

MRFF is a hate group and as such is going to spread hate. It is what they do. Nothing surprising here.

Weinstein is a horrible person. What is worse though, is how many people in the US Air Force fold to his demands when he makes them, to include commanders and lawyers who are supposed to ‘support and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.’

Weinstein is a domestic enemy of the US Constitution.

Yes and no... the problem here is that the Constitution was drafted within a certain worldview, i.e. a Christian or near-Christian one. The Constitution didn’t overtly prescribe a certain flavor of Christianity to be its interpretive framework, however. This is how rights became silly putty.

And the real answer here is the answer from the evangelist and the praying and sometimes witnessing church layman. It’s not a political answer, because that would be to attempt to put the cart before the horse.

To get a revival in turn, the souls who will accept it need to be present, and the message needs to be offered. Now this is where a praying remnant could perform an act that would transcend space and time — essentially to beseech God at the foundation of the world to seed in believers into this age that we see — to cause the faces that we see to have (have had, if you will) souls that will believe. But this has to be done with full reverence and fear. People sometimes talk like a revival would be a carnival, a weekend picnic. It wouldn’t. Satan and his hordes will dive furiously at it to oppose it, and at anybody who would advocate for it. He has already done so at me, and I’m a voice in the wilderness now.

And at the same time, Christians really don’t need a “mother may I” to the government to talk about gospel anyhow. It’s NICE, but never NECESSARY. A general freedom of spiritual speech is salutary here, because Christ can stand up for Himself in the marketplace of ideas. Let Weinstein and his followers talk up all the atheism they want — but let everybody of every faith answer too. It will soon become clear that even the atheists usually have little problem with deities other than Christ. Those deities do not bid to intrude upon their laboratories. Christ does.

I still have a picture of me-age 4 or so-dressed in a Crusader costume for Halloween.

I seriously doubt that any company makes such a Halloween costume any more...

I’d love to see that image, if you ever post it please send me a note so I can be sure to get a look at it :-)

Contrary to current belief, the Crusades were honorable and extremely necessary.

That religion is still in dire need of a reformation!

I know, and love, a few followers of that religion...and they deserve a reformation.
