Ilhan Omar Supports Raphael Warnock’s Claim That ‘Nobody Can Serve God and the Military’
MenRec ^ | 11/23/20 | Staff

Posted on 11/23/2020 4:55:05 PM PST by rustyweiss74

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) came to the defense of Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock following resurfaced comments in which he said, “nobody can serve God and the military.”

Omar said in a Twitter post that Warnock was quoting biblical Scripture from “Mathews 6:24.”

“The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful,” she wrote.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that in 2011, Warnock preached that Americans cannot serve God while also serving in the U.S. military.

“America, nobody can serve God and the military,” the video shows the Georgia Democrat saying. “You can’t serve God and money. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time.”

Omar and Warnock seem to see eye to eye on their disdain for the military.

The Minnesota Democrat also has a past in which attacks on the military can be found.

A tweet from 2017 shows Omar claiming – incorrectly – that American forces killed “thousands” of Somalis during the 1993 “Black Hawk Down” mission.

Omar also downplayed the severity of distress for military members, claiming earlier this year that talk of war with Iran had left her “stricken with PTSD.”

She was also seen giggling and laughing as congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee made somber comments about the loss of US lives during the Iraq War.

What would Omar know about God? She worships the delusional rantings of a pedophile terrorist.

Matthew 8:5-13
J.B. Phillips New Testament

5-6 Then as he was coming into Capernaum a centurion approached. “Sir,” he implored him, “my servant is in bed at home paralysed and in dreadful pain.”

7 “I will come and heal him,” said Jesus to him.

8-9 “Sir,” replied the centurion, “I’m not important enough for you to come under my roof. Just give the order, please, and my servant will recover. I’m a man under authority myself, and I have soldiers under me. I can say to one man ‘Go’ and I know he’ll go, or I can say ‘Come here’ to another and I know he’ll come—or I can say to my slave ‘Do this’ and he’ll always do it.”

10-12 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished. “Believe me,” he said to those who were following him, “I have never found faith like this, even in Israel! I tell you that many people will come from east and west and sit at my table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. But those who should have belonged to the kingdom will be banished to the darkness outside, where there will be tears and bitter regret.”

13 Then he said to the centurion, “Go home now, and everything will happen as you have believed it will.” And his servant was healed at that actual moment.

If she had bothered to pick up her Bible (oops wait a minute, someone give her one), God created the military and several miraculous and victorious battles were fought I’m in what’s referred to “The Lord’s Army” how about you? We are in a Spiritual battle. We already know believers win because Jesus paid the price at Calvary and gives the Victory!

Warnock is full of crap and so is Omar. That’s all the response they deserve.

Why would any Christian care what a heretic and a non-believer have to say?

Have President Trump’s four years in office been a success?

Yes - A resounding success.

No - It’s been a complete failure.

A little bit of both.

Omar and Warnock Agree on God and the Military

Omar and Warnock seem to see eye to eye on their disdain for the military.

The Minnesota Democrat also has a past in which attacks on the military can be found.

A tweet from 2017 shows Omar claiming – incorrectly – that American forces killed “thousands” of Somalis during the 1993 “Black Hawk Down” mission.


Uh, why did @IlhanMN go full “blame America” moral relativism on Black Hawk Down…? https://t.co/XTUTZoArYd

The International Committee of the Red Cross estimated that 200 Somali civilians were killed and several hundred wounded in the fighting during the Battle of Mogadishu.

Omar also downplayed the severity of distress for military members, claiming earlier this year that talk of war with Iran had left her “stricken with PTSD.”

She was also seen giggling and laughing as congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee made somber comments about the loss of US lives during the Iraq War.

Dozens of Georgia veterans have called on Warnock to drop out of the race over his comments.

Omar and Warnock Share Some Other Controversial Thoughts

Aside from standing in solidarity with the notion that military members can’t honor God, Ilhan Omar and Raphael Warnock have mutual anti-Semitic comments in their past.

Warnock signed a letter comparing Israel to apartheid in South Africa and has supported anti-American pastor Jeremiah Wright, who once accused the Jews of not allowing him to talk to Barack Obama.

Omar, of course, has had numerous anti-Semitic comments on her resume.

In 2019, she responded to a comment regarding House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) threatening action against Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over past allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.

Omar responded to the assertion by using a stereotype about Jews being motivated by money, then accusing a prominent lobbying group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), of paying members of Congress to support Israel.

“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Omar tweeted, a line from a rap song by Puff Daddy which referenced Benjamin Franklin’s image on the $100 bill.

In past social-media ramblings, she has claimed Israel “hypnotized the world” and expressed hope that “people will see their evil doings.”

Warnock and Omar’s radicalism, it would seem, is cut from the same cloth.

Well and her understanding of the Bible is zero

Taking phrases out of context to prove your agenda is dishonest

The two masters Jesus was speaking if were Hod and Mammon

It was taken by medieval writers as the name of the devil of covetousness, and revived in this sense by Milton.

It is way past time that we all realize it is islam first and the USA second if at all.

Nothing here but a violent ideology hiding in the bushes masquerading as a religion.

Three questions:

1. What was "BS" about what he posted?

2. How is the garbled format that you posted even remotely intelligible?

3. Did someone slap you hard across the face recently to suddenly make you act this way?

Leave the Bible alone, unbeliever Omar. Stick to your book of fiction the Koran.
