Former SEALs chaplain could be kicked out of Navy for Christian beliefs
TODD'S AMERICAN DISPATCH ^ | 3-9-2015 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 03/09/2015 12:28:52 PM PDT by ImNotLying

A chaplain who once ministered to Navy SEALs could be thrown out of the military after he was accused of failing “to show tolerance and respect” in private counseling sessions in regards to issues pertaining to faith, marriage and sexuality, specifically homosexuality and pre-marital sex, according to documents obtained exclusively by Fox News.

You wouldn’t be so much a chaplain as a political officer. You would make sure that those you minister to adhere strictly to the party line.

I would just change one word: instead of retired it should be “TRIED” by court-martial

There was recently a related issue.
FR: No Promotion Unless A Commitment To Diversity Is Demonstrated, Air Force Sec Says

If we had a Constitution-respecting Congress, instead of a Constitution-ignoring, RINO-controlled Congress, Congress could use its constitutional authority to override presidential vetoes (1.7.2) to investigate these examples of anti-Christian harrassment.

I also keep thinking that if it weren’t for the ill-conceived 17th Amendment which helped to foster a corrupt Senate that we’d have a Congress that would be standing up to these Constitution-ignoring, Christian-harassing bullies.

I think our current military leaders have confused the word diversity with the word perversity.

Sounds like you and Obama are on the same page . . . except he’s probably say “mosque” rather than “church.”

5 - 10 years max - Christians will be harshly persecuted, denied rights, and imprisoned - simply for our beliefs.......anyone that doesn’t see the writing on the wall is blind......just how things have regressed in the last 5 or so years.........

Apart from divine intervention of course......repentance would be a good place for all of us to start - including me...........

In our USA, period. As well.

To libtards “respect == approval == promoting”

Impossible for a real Christian to do.

Why no muslim issue? No muslim goes to a imam and says that stuff. They know better.

If you go to a Christian chaplain for advice, you’d better darn will expect CHRISTIAN advice!

My favorite Chaplain was Catholic Priest Otto Sporrer -- who earned a Silver Star for removing his chaplain insignia, taking command, and leading an armed military retreat during the Korean War disaster at the Chosin reservoir.

Before WW-II, Sporrer preached against America going to war against Germany.

Then, Pearl Harbor happened and he went off to be a Chaplain.

PS ... The Chosin story about Sporrer's heroism can be found in the Book "Chesty" ... about Marine general Chesty Puller's career.

Do you think we can exhume Lincoln and make him pay for this?

My point in posting that was to demonstrate how seriously deluded people nowadays are regarding this "separation of church and state" nonsense. During that era, it was taken for granted that the vast majority of the populace was devout Christian of one form or another.

Even in the 20th century, the Military used to require church attendance. We have gotten a long way from where we started, and people persist in lying about what happened and what existed in the past.

Should I go to a Catholic, Protestant, Episcopalian, Mormon, Muslim, or ... what?

There are many religions out there and I prefer to take advice from people - and books - that work with facts.

Why would anyone want to be in Obola’s military?

Demand a court martial AFTER it lingers until the next election.

FWIW, my last direct conversation with a Navy Captain Chaplain was when I asked him why he didn’t ever close his prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.

He responded, his faith was so strong, he didn’t need to pray through faith in Christ. Such were his words and his thinking. I have faith there will come a second witness in time to his thinking.

So why even have chaplains (like we have for the last 200+ years)? The Homos and other Godless are having their "hour of power". It will not last long...

Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage , and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder , and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the Lord shall have them in derision . 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

You are bizarre. If you are a vet than you should have at least the faintest glimmer of understanding that each individual makes the choice. If you want to go to a Catholic, by all means, do so. Protestant - if that’s your choice. (BTW, Episcopalian is Protestant)...and so on.

You take your advice from whomever you please - but don’t try to deprive others from getting the advice or counsel they want.

I don’t think you’re dealing in a lot of fact...but if it suits you, be my guest.

I certainly don’t understand his thinking...in my mind it borders on apostasy. Does he ignore the advice of Christ in John 14:13, and unwisely deem his faith superior to a faith in Christ...it is actually ONLY through such faith that one can approach God. Christ is our high priest.

He needs to have a better understanding of faith, the reason and purpose of Jesus, and the “types and shadows” of the Old Testament.

Or else I completely misunderstand what he was trying to say.
