Say Hello To Today's Navy

But is this your calling as a Christian? Again, we are off topic. We should explore this in a new thread.

 

Let's take this to a new thread. BTW, don't we do all of the above without the collateral damage of countless thousands of casualties when we preach the gospel?

 

1689Dave... I hope you don't have any German in your blood?... Gobble, gobble, gobble... Brother Glen

 

I practice what I preach. Though not my original intent, I am now showing you why I did not join the military based on biblical principles of separation.

 

I thought the OP about what is happening to the Navy will result in many Christians no longer taking part. And said it is another reason not to become unequally yoked with unbelievers in the military. Scripture gives those shunning military service a clear conscience if needed.

 

So do you think the Navy is right in condoning this?

 

Are the 'crossing the line' pageants officially sanctioned?
Did any of you sailors have to participate? I hope you weren't the ones in dresses.

 

Should we become unequally yoked with unbelievers? And kill enemies we are to love? If the love of money is the root of all evil, then all wars are about money or territory, we as Christians are to shun.

 

Nope....never would have made it in todays Navy.
Back in the the day if someone got caught tail gunning aboard ship it was not unheard, man overboard and then helo pick up.

They couldn’t say they dropped the soap or they would be kicked out.

Oh times of change, God is only love, Socialist Demo Party, everyone is going to heaven, women preachers and no final authority.

Are we there yet?

You obviously know this is not what Paul means when he tells us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Do not become legally bound or engage in a partnership is more the meaning. Fellowship =

34.7 μετοχή, ῆς f: a relationship involving shared purposes and activity—‘partnership, sharing.’ τίς γὰρ μετοχὴ δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἀνομίᾳ; ‘how can there be a partnership between right and wrong?’ 2 Cor 6:14. In 2 Cor 6:14 δικαιοσύνη and ἀνομία refer to ‘those who do right’ and ‘those who do wrong.’ In fact, in a number of languages one can only translate this expression in 2 Cor 6:14 as ‘how can a person who does right and one who does wrong join in a partnership?’ or ‘how can one who does right and one who does wrong work together?’ In this same verse κοινωνία (see 34.5) has a meaning closely corresponding to μετοχή, and similarly φῶς and σκότος refer respectively to ‘those who live in the light’ and ‘those who live in darkness,’ paralleling closely the distinction between δικαιοσύνη and ἀνομία.

I don't do that. I gave up a career because I was unequally yoked with unbelievers. That's the difference.
