“American Military at War with Christians”
by Art Sadlier
May 5th, 2013

Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 that evil is already working in the world. Paul goes on to talk about a coming day when the Holy Spirit, who is restraining evil, will cease His restraining activity, and evil will be for the very first time totally unrestrained.

Today we see the foreshadowing of that coming time. In Isaiah 5:20 we read, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” One of the fruits of evil is the persecution of those who do right. Jesus said in John 15:19-20, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you....”

Believers all around the world are being persecuted and slaughtered for their faith in Christ. We have not experienced that in North America but times are changing.

The Pentagon has placed a ban on believers sharing their faith in the military. They are threatening court martial for doing so.

Note the following item from Breitbart News:

“Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.”

Those words were recently written by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in a column he wrote for the Huffington Post. Weinstein will be a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops.

Weinstein decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era.

He cites Dr. James Dobson—the famous Christian founder of Focus on the Family—as “illustrating the extremist, militant nature of these virulently homophobic organizations’ rhetorically-charged propaganda.” Regarding those who teach orthodox Christian beliefs from the Bible, Weinstein concludes, “Let’s call these ignoble actions what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.”

Another news agency issued the following statement:

“Barack Obama has taken his communist revolution to a new level. His political appointees in the Pentagon have implemented a new policy that bans Christians in the Armed Forces from sharing their faith in Jesus Christ with other soldiers. Christians who violate the ban could face court martial, imprisonment, and/or a dishonorable discharge from the U.S. military. The bottom line: The Obamanistas have criminalized Christianity in the U.S. military. The Old America – the “land of the free, home of the brave” is dead. We now live in Communist America. Why are the American people sleeping through this revolution?”

The new anti-Christian policy is the evil fruit of Mikey Weinstein – an atheist Jew who founded the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. He was cited by Forward Magazine as one of the most influential Jews in America. Barack Obama appointed Mr. Weinstein as his new “religious tolerance” consultant to the Pentagon. Mr. Weinstein cannot open his mouth without spewing forth venomous denunciations of conservative Evangelical Christians.

Mr. Weinstein claims that Christians in the military – including chaplains – are guilty of treason for sharing their Christian faith among fellow soldiers. He has described Christians in the Armed Forces as “enemies of the Constitution.” The Jewish atheist has also described Christian witnessing as an act of “spiritual rape” as serious as sexual assaults.

Under the new policy, American soldiers who dare to tell other soldiers about their faith in Jesus Christ risk being convicted in a court martial as would a soldier convicted of treason, murder, rape, or other serious crimes. Court martial punishment may include imprisonment in a military correctional institution or a dishonorable discharge from the military and loss of pension and benefits. When Mr. Weinstein demands that Christians in the military be branded traitors, he knows that treason in the military is a crime punishable by death.

Mr. Weinstein told the Washington Post, “This is a national security threat. What is happening [aside from sexual assault] is spiritual rape. And what the Pentagon needs to understand is that it is sedition and treason. It should be punished.” Do you comprehend the seriousness of the policy that is now in effect under Mr. Obama? Christians in the military who defy the order may be put to death by military executioners. Who is next?

Mikey Weinstein and members of his Jesus-hating Military Religious Freedom Foundation met privately on April 23 with Pentagon officials. He said that U.S. troops who “proselytize” their religious views on military bases are guilty of sedition and treason. He said they should be punished by the hundreds if necessary to stave off a “tidal wave of fundamentalists.” Mr. Weinstein reportedly demanded that soldiers who talk about Jesus Christ to other soldiers should be booted from the military. Furthermore, Mr. Weinstein told Air Force commanders that any officer who attempts to convert others to Christianity should face a court martial. This is what “religious tolerance” will look like under the Obama communist regime: Christians will be persecuted, ostracized, imprisoned, and eventually put to death. I will repeat my earlier statement: Mr. Obama has criminalized Christianity in the U.S. military. Life in America changed on May 1 – May Day, the universal celebration of the Communist movement.

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
