I did not bother watching the video because if someone is a true devout born-again Christian, I doubt they would be enlisting in the military, of which sole purpose is to kill and break things.
Maybe the watered down Catholics or the Heretic mainline church members would join a Joe Biden tranny brigade, but certainly not the US marines.
I disagree.
Christians also serve as warriors.
When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”
7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.
Wow, you don’t understand the military and those who serve, at all.
You are, of course, quite wrong.
might want to put down that crack pipe.
You need to look HERE
Desmond Doss was a Conscientious Objector who joined the Army in WWII. He served his fellows very well.
The movie "Hacksaw Ridge" is a fine biographical rendition of his story.
How many armies did King David have?
Christians are not pacifists and can serve in the armed forces with honor. When soldiers came to John the Baptist asking what they needed to do to enter the kingdom of heaven, he did not tell them to quit being soldiers; he told them to be good, honest soldiers (Luke 3:14). Likewise with the Centurion that came to Jesus for help (Matthew 8:5-13) and Cornelius the first Gentile convert to the Faith (Acts 10). Jesus and Peter never told them to stop being soldiers, and there is no record or even tradition that they did.
Right. Nobody fighting in the American Revolution was a born-again Christian. God never told people to fight or go to war.
Conscientious objectors are pussies.
“the military, of which sole purpose is to kill and break things”
Boy, are you confused.
... a true devout born-again Christian, I doubt they would be enlisting in the military, of which sole purpose is to kill and break things.
Pure and utter BS and an asinine statement.
FACT:
The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated by Western Christians, particularly the Catholic Church, to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control between the 11th and 13th centuries. These campaigns were often framed as a response to Muslim conquests and were supported by the papacy as a means to defend Christianity and promote religious fervor.
Estimates of deaths during the Crusades range widely, with figures from one million to nine million people over the period from 1095 to 1291.
1000 years later and we’re still fighting Muslim scum.
Jesus broke things in defense of his Father’s house. In defense of the innocent, sometimes rough justice is justifiable. The key is humbly seeking God’s guidance on how/when to do that. Why wouldn’t a faithful Christian with strength and courage get a calling to the military?
