US Army defines Christian ministry as 'domestic hate group'
FoxNews.com ^ | 10/14/2013 | Todd Starnes

“The instructor said AFA could be considered a hate group because they don’t like gays,” the soldier told me. “The slide was talking about how AFA refers to gays as sinners and heathens and derogatory terms.”

The soldier, who is an evangelical Christian, said the chaplain defended the Christian ministry.

“He kept asking the instructor, ‘Are you sure about that, son? Are you sure about that?’” he said, recalling the back and forth.

Later in the briefing, the soldiers were reportedly told that they could face punishment for participating in organizations that are considered hate groups.

That considered, the soldier contacted me because he is a financial contributor to the AFA ministry.

“I donate to AFA as often as I can,” he said. “Am I going to be punished? I listen to American Family Radio all day. If they hear it on my radio, will I be faced with a Uniformed Code of Military Justice charge?”

The soldier said he was “completely taken back by this blatant attack not only on the AFA but Christians and our beliefs.”

They won’t like it when we push back.

If we don't get unified and start pushing back soon, we'll be in FEMA camps before we can push back.

These Liberals are positively demonic...they mean serious business.

We don’t know how that goes in terms of disposition etc. what I mean is discern

Excuse me, but yes we do. 1 Corinthians 6:9 makes this point beyond dispute.

We should not shrink from judging because God tells us to judge.

In Catholicism, it is clearly interpreted and instructed in the list of Works of Mercy - to admonish sinners, (reminding them and/or informing them) what their Creator tells them not to do in order to be happy, healthy and to gain eternal life with Him.

Admonishing involves judging. That’s how the deviants will take it, and we can’t sugar-coat this fact.

I won’t argue the point. God’s rules are for our happiness, health, joy and salvation.

So, admonishing does not first presuppose judging that a behavior is wrong?

If this is the Catholic teaching, thank God that I’m not of that politically correct persuasion.

I did not say that it didn’t. If that’s how you want to define judgement go ahead.

In Catholicism, judging is what God does after you’re dead. We use the word judge for what you are saying it is, interchangeably with discernment. It’s fine

Coup is right, but you will not see another election either.

Not me. I’m not going anywhere. The feds will kill me or get the he!! off my lawn but I will not comply with tyranny.

My demise will not be from disease but from standing my ground as a Patriot.

Add me to the list. I am too old and stove up to do any running. And me begging or pleading on my knees is out of the question. Long ago I made my peace with my Maker. One way or the other it will end in my yard. I will not go alive to one of Obama’s or Hillary’s camps.

but that, all of us being sinners, we are to love the homosexual.

All that "love the 'whateversinner'" means is you are supposed to help them save their souls.

“Take control of the government by declaring all your opponents to be “hate groups” and sending them to “reeducation camps.”

Question: What is the Negro Nazi party ruling America going to do with REAL hate groups like the New Black Panthers?

Answer: Deputize them as Federal Marshals.

Remember those “pacifist” anti-establishment hippie leaches that used to spit on returning Vietnam service members?

They are now in charge of our Armed Forces.

Any group that doesn’t agree with Obama’s sodomite agenda is a “hate group.”

The anti-military, anti-Christian paper-hanging muslim-in-chief has effectively destroyed the US military, by allowing the hostile takeover by sodomites into the US military and women into the Special Forces and infantry and his blatant persecution of Christians. It will take years to fix what this bastard accomplished in eight years. Carter and Clinton’s hatred of all things military was bad enough, but they were nothing compared to this treasonous, Benedict Arnold SOB.
