Would you allow a member of the USA military to sit in your church?

Question

We wouldn't. It would be a fire hazard because when those baby killers walked in the door it would catch on fire.

Judge les not be judged? OK, I'll buy that.

Now.....would you say the same thing to child molesters, abortion doctors, homosexuals, The Taliban, OJ Simpson, Hillary Clinton.......or do you just save your good graces for your own personal favorite sinners?

Again! You would not even be saying this if I were to come in here and say "child molesters are wrong." You would be cheering me on and high fiving me for my good morals. However, because I say the military is wrong, you say that I cannot say that. Knowing full well that each of you in here judge people on a daily basis, whether it be the girl with the promiscuous short skirt, or the athlete who you claim is a bad influence on your children. Everybody judges somebody, you guys are just 'cafeteria Christians' that pick and choose your sins like a buffet line.

You have no business putting the military in the same category as peace and love, violence is not the answer. And you have no proof that war causes freedom. Even if it did, which it doesn't, violence is not the answer. You cannot solve and injustice with another injustice.

Answer 1

Yes, President Bush, Commander in Chief is our Lord and Savior.

Answer 2

Well, given that the U.S.A. is the most TRULY tolerant of religious freedoms, and ALL of our freedoms are derived from the force of military arms, then yes. I would proudly let a U.S. Serviceman in my church.

p.s. Not that we subscribe to this kind of thing today, but remember that on a few occasions in the Old Testament, God personally directs the Israelites to commit specific genocides, sparing neither woman nor child.

Too bad our enemies can't get past this:
"Perish all Christians, perish all Jews." - The Koran

Answer 3

Well I think the better question is would we allow you in Chapel with all of us who are military? The answer is yes - everyone is welcome at Chapel on post (if you could actually get on post with that attitude). Military, retired military, civilians who support the military etc.

Have you actually known anyone who kills babies? Or have you not seen the photos of our service members RESCUING children and babies? The pictures of them helping restore orphanages and schools that were destroyed (many by their own people)?

Are you affiliated with Westboro "Baptist" in KS and the drivel that's preached there?

Reread your Scripture.

edit: and your history! Do you not know that this country was founded by those seeking religious freedom? That many on board the Mayflower who converted were soldiers? How bout the Revolutionary war - so you would rather the citizen soldiers at that time have not fought? No America then? Our soldiers of today are still citzen soldiers who volunteer - for a myriad of reasons true. But where is it in scripture to not associate with the military? Paul witnessed to his guards, the centurion at the cross beleived and Christ didn't tell him to go and quit the military. No logic in your arguments.

Answer 4

Yes and why not. If your church wouldn't then I would ask why not. I think you are forgetting Judge not lest you be judged. If your church is of any size there are military and/or former military people there, especially in the older people. The view of the current war/police action should be a moral/political one and not religious based. I was brought up in a conservative religion but as I got older I found that religion is based on belief and actions and not taking my moral view and making it "God's" view.
BTW-The "baby burner" or "baby killer" tags go back to the VietNam era and it is sad to hear that being said again; but if many of your church members are in the mid-50's or older they would remember it also and some of them because it was a remark used to identify them.

Answer 5

It's nice to know that the people who have fought for the freedom of so many and given so much aren't welcome in your "House of The Lord." Last I knew, it was religious freedom that our ancestors fought for many years ago. It's good to know that the same people who have given you the right to choose your beliefs aren't good enough to worship your belief. Thank you for being close minded and ungrateful.

Now to answer your edited question, If a church isn't filled with sinners already then it's filled with the lazy who thinks they are too good to learn, change, grow, or to help with God's work. I would love to visit your church, but I'm certain my "Baby Killer" stigma would make me stand out too much. Look into your selves and don't tell me my room is dirty if your house isn't clean. I'm sure that God will have mercy on you because He said that there is a special place in Heaven for the children and the stupid.

Answer 6

Yes, But we would not allow an anti Christ like you in. "Have to watch out for Lighting strikes". Your church should allow them in, They would be the only ones with any morale's or real purpose in life. Ithink the correct saying is Judge not least ye be judge'd. Try this. Let them without sin cast the first stone.

Answer 7

Sure. However, I would not allow people like you who are filled with hatred and feel the need to judge people to sit in my church.

EDIT: "And you have no proof that war causes freedom."
The proof- The USA is not a British Colony. Slavery was abolished. There are two freedoms that were "caused" by war.

Answer 8

Close minded individuals like you are the reason I dislike churches. You put your gossip and opinions above your faith. Get off your high horse and stop worrying about others when at a place of worship and worry about your own soul.

Answer 9

Call yourself a Christian?

It is not up to you or your kind to sit in judgement on American Military personel or any other person.

You are the evil one, by sprouting this crap, I recomend seeing a doctor to get yourself sorted out before somebody takes offence at the c r a p you post.

Answer 10

Why not? We are not all murderous people.
Besides, I don't judge people in the congregation or the shun them. Church is supposed to be a refuge for all.
Remember Jesus is a friend of sinners.

Answer 11

What the hell is wrong with you?!? These people are just doing their job, and they don't have the option of saying no. What do you expect them to do, just sit there and smile and wave when someone is shooting mortars and grenades at them? If you want to be angry at someone, be angry at the higher-ups who are making the decisions and dragging this war on far longer than it should be. The soldiers and marines over there joined the military to try and change the world for the better. It's not their fault they're being used to fight a ridiculous war.
