Will Our Armed Forces, Who Defended our Constitution, be the First to Deny Christ or Face Criminal Prosecution?
This week on ‘The Hal Lindsey Report’
This week, I’ll continue my discussion of “The Man God Became.”
As I mentioned in this space last week, as we see the demonic spirit of “political correctness” take firmer hold on all areas of our society, I’m convinced that the decision by true Christians to stand up for Jesus on certain issues and claims will spark an onslaught of derision and discrimination against us. I think those defining issues will include abortion, same sex marriage, parental rights, and the role of God in our national life.
Already, our military, our schools, our courts, our media, and our governments are in a mad dash to eliminate any vestige of religious freedom. Todd Starnes at FoxNews.com reported that on October 17, 2013, U.S. Army soldiers at a briefing at Fort Hood, Texas, were told that “evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
Though a Pentagon spokesman denied this incident happened, it was corroborated by other witnesses.
I believe it will ultimately come down to the declaration by Jesus Christ that He alone is the way to heaven. Jesus Himself said that because the world hated Him, it will hate us. He cautioned that true, and faithful, believers will be persecuted “for My name’s sake.” (John 15:21)
It now appears that the men and women of our armed forces — the very ones who have volunteered their lives to defend our Constitution and our nation — may be among the first who will have to decide whether to deny Christ or face criminal prosecution.
Folks, as a former member of our nation’s armed services, the Coast Guard, I am incredulous as I write these words. President Dwight Eisenhower once admonished the nation that “there are no atheists in foxholes.” If he were alive today, I wonder how that great soldier would respond to the prospect that soon there may be no Christians in foxholes!
I have often told you that if we are to remain strong in the coming days, months, and years, we must be planted on a firm foundation. To be able to unflinchingly press the claims of Christ in this hostile world, we must first understand the man who made those claims.
On the last Report, we looked at some of the reasons “Why God Had to Become a Man.” This week, I’ll continue my examination of “The Man God Became.”
I’ll share with you seven reasons why God had to become a man. I’ll tell you about the claims that Jesus made. Claims that leave no wiggle room for doubt. Either He is the Messiah — or He is a lunatic. As C.S. Lewis observed, “…let us not come up with that patronizing nonsense about His being just a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
You’ll learn about His two distinct natures that are inseparably united — total deity and true humanity. These two natures are united in one person, without confusion or mixture of attributes and function. The Lord Jesus is equal to God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, yet different in that He is also a true man. As we will see, this is the reason why He, and He alone, can be the Mediator between God and Man.
Without Jesus, there could be no reconciliation between God and man. Without Jesus, there would be no redemption for us.
As I said previously, the majesty, the beauty, and the sheer complexity of the concept of the God-Man Jesus Christ is almost overwhelming. But it was all necessary to redeem the creation lost to sin at the fall of Adam. Thank God that He loved us so much He provided a “second Adam” to unselfishly take our place and become our “kinsman redeemer.”

Never trust a man with white hair and black moustache
Who is telling our soldiers this? He should be reprimanded and if he does not stop he should be released from military service with a dishonorable discharge.
Someone want the military to be a Muslim army. Meaning they will kill all Christians and take over your land embolden by one of their own you let rise to the top as a negro sodomite.
When did they defend our Constitution! While they fight wars for the NWO, the Constitution, and our rights, have become a joke to government who now violates them freely!!! so exactly when did they defend our Constitution!
They will be the first to abandon the Constitution. They will soon join the global NWO forces. And come for us? And it won’t bother most of the video junkies a bit, because they slept while the Teachers were teaching! And that’s assuming there were teachers teaching! How else do you explain what’s going in America today with regards to our rights, and government!
ALL RELIGIONS WILL BE DESTROYED! EVERYBODY RELIGIOUS WILL BE SENT TO THE FEMA CAMPS FOR FINAL PROCESSING!
Re; Will Our Armed Forces, Who Defended Our Constitution, be the First to Deny Christ or Face Criminal Prosecution?
What part of you being Stupid, or Traitor do you not understand, to defend the constitution you can not put religion in the mix, if you are military or defending the constitution, a big part of the Duty is to keep religion out of government.
When you put into government religious trash and if they gain real power, we will wind up on burning Poles again as in the dart ages, (it does not matter what religion), if religion is totally out of government the about the same outcome, [so dammed if you do dammed if you don't].
But just what part of the Separation of the State and Religion do Religious Stupids not understand, (other than you don’t get what you want, or the part where you don’t get to shove your Trash up the the Butts of others), actually there is no war on religion in america, not on the streets, not in the military, what there is, is the written constitutional separation of the State and religion and only Traitors Ignore it.
Right now today you have the Obomination and the congress about to pack more Rag Heads into america, [to save them from the bad things in their Nations, bad things that only exist do to all the help america has given the Rag Heads over long years, strangely the part the jew media and US gov never talk about is that these bad things exist only do to all the american help], your little religion and their little religion are about to rage into each other on the streets of america and don’t forget about all the mexicans up the butt, I would not worry about your religion being under attack you will be eaten before your religion is gone. (Trapper).
“Will Our Armed Forces, Who Defended Our Constitution, be the First to Deny Christ or Face Criminal Prosecution?”
S’truth, surely you’re not that deluded. You’re armed forces haven’t protected you from anyone or thing, it certainly hasn’t protected you’re constitution, you’re ‘government’ breaks it all the time, so does your armed forces who are only supposed to protect within America, not make constant war outside of America. You’ve had 4 years of peace in America’s entire history.
And WTF are you talking about forcing people to deny their superstitions or be prosecuted as a criminal? Where is that taking place? Oh yes, in countries that are run by Abrahamic religious dictatorships. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
