Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive our trespassers.
I dont think God will forgive murder, and I won’t either.

“...we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies...”
.
That’s the way to pray. If one prays for victory then it means that one asks God to help him to kill as many of his enemies as possible. How else can victory be attained?
Sheesh people, have we lost our minds?
Hey, Chaplain/Col...are nuts? I’m sick of all youi apologists and smarmy dhimmis.
I certainly agree that p.c. will be not only Christianity’s but the country’s downfall.
Since when do we pray FOR fiends from HELL.
We pray AGAINST them.
St. Michael Archangel
Defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the snares and temptations of the DEVIL.
May GOD rebuke him, we humble pray and may thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, cast into HELL satan and all evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
My prayers are going up for the fallen and wounded.
This Orwell stuff is now completely out of hand. It’ll all end after the next 9/11 style attack. Or will it?
