In May, 2013 then-Lance Cpl. Monifa Sterling kept a Bible verse on her computer in three places. The verses read "No weapon formed against me shall prosper," a modification of the Isaiah 54:17, according to the Catholic News Agency. Ms. Sterling's staff sergeant demanded she remove the verse, but Ms. Sterling refused, saying she had the right to express her religious freedom. The next day Ms. Sterling arrived to find the verses had been ripped down from her station. She put them up again. The cycle repeated until Ms. Sterling was court-martialed on Feb. 1, 2014. She was convicted of disrespecting a superior commissioned officer, failing to go to an appointed place of duty, and disobeying a lawful order on four separate occasions, The Daily Caller reported. Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals also sided against Ms. Sterling, saying significant damage could be caused by forcing military employees to be exposed to a religious quotation, CNA reported.

Was there not just ONE leader in the Marine's chain of command who could have handled this situation better?Subscribe to *Religious History and Issues* Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 16. #2. To: redleghunter (#0) If the United States military wants to prosecute and punish a woman for firmly maintaining her right to make a simply statement about God at her desk, Americans who join now, or who serve, should understand that they are under the command of an organization that hates God. And they should not be surprised when God allows them to be slaughtered on the battlefield, because they are not his friends or his allies, and they are carrying around guns killing people. If you are killing people and it is not in defense of life and truth, you are a murderer damned to Hell. All armed men in all armed forces which forces are opposed to God, as the military is in this case, are simply thugs who cannot expect God's protection in battle, but who can expect to roast in the Lake of Fire at final judgment for being killers without sanctuary. That's the way it is. The US military has declared war on God. Therefore it is evil, and God will not protect it on the battlefield. And the men who fight and kill without following the rules of God, and who hate God, have nothing to look forward to but damnation and hell, because they are evil by definition. Too bad for them. My advice nowadays: don't sign up to serve the United States in any capacity that involves carrying a gun, because the evil that your nation has become will be imputed to you because you protect and defend it. It would be best if the Christians in the military made it very clear, en masse, that their allegiance to God and love for God is always superior to any oath they took to support and defend the Constitution, if for not other reason than that an oath before God is meaningless unless one acknowledges that the one before whom the oath is made - God - has the power to enforce the oath. If the Constitution cannot protect itself but requires men to swear before God that they will do it, then the fact there is an oath at all is an open admission of the inferiority of the Constitution before God - for God is invoked to try to keep the defenders of the Constitution on the line defending it. If the Constitutional order has degenerated to the point that God cannot even be referred to, except in an oath, then the oath is vitiated of any meaning, other than whatever meaning that men without God can extract by imposing human punishment upon those who don't remain true to a promise made to men. The Constitution and the nation are nothing before God, and every American soldier, sailor, airman and Marine would do very well to realize that, if forced to choose between God and the Constitution, the fact of being forced to make that choice means that the Constitution has become a tool of Satan, and should be rejected in favor of God. This is obvious. But every lover and fearer of God in ranks should make that tacit admission to himself or herself now, in the face of these proceedings: if forced to choose between God on the one hand, and Constitution and nation on the other, the Constitution and the nation die. Without a moment's hesitation. For the fact of being forced to make the choice - that fact itself - means that the Constitution has been rendered a dishrag of the Devil.

To: redleghunter (#16) Vic I really believe incidents like this one are part of a Military culture which says "Christians need not apply." Yes. And that, in turn, means a military culture that is destined to lose in combat, because it does not have the favor of God. So, sign up for the military now, and your likelihood of getting killed is higher, and when you do, you're headed to rejection by God. In such a circumstance, the military is not an option for anybody who wants to live. And the key for Christians is to face a case that, on the face of it, can be made a case of military insubordination and direct defiance of orders, and to understand that the man or woman who directly defies such orders is right and must be supported. The military must not be granted the authority to tell people to cease small private devotional exercises. The First Amendment must trump the UCMJ. Otherwise, the Christian has put himself in the position where obedience to an anti-God man-made rule is superior in importance to reverence for God, and that Christian has lapsed into idolatry, placing obedience to an arbitrary human regime above reverence to God. The military here has chosen to draw a line, that it's internal system of giving orders supersedes the individual soldier's right and need to express a modest reverence for God. It is imperative that the military be slapped down, and that military officers have a limit placed on their command authority, such that they cannot give orders to take down a small passage like this, and they cannot punish anybody if they do give such an order, and that person tells them no. The Commander in Chief must not have the authority to tell the private not to pray in a reasonable outward manner, and if the Joint Chiefs command it, when the individual private defies the chain of command on the matter of reverence to God, the Supreme Court of the United States must subordinate the entire military command authority to the individual soldier's right to simply pray in a simple manner. We're not talking about taking Sunday off here. It's important that the military be given a hard limit to its command authority, so that it learns respect. The whole culture of the military has always been to never respect such a limit. But now the military culture has gone to the point of trying to obscure and crush out the Christian culture that has been the only source of the military's providential victories over time. A military with the tightest command structure cannot prevail in battle if it is damned by God. So it's a test - a test of culture and of power. It is important that this clerk triumph over the authority of her commanding general and all of his lieutenants. But she won't. That's the truth of it. The government is evil (2 million babies per year) and it will side with command authority over simple, stubborn professions of faith. It will side with the commander's authority to determine what is bad discipline in all cases. It will punish her. And every thinking man must reject the military's argument, and must sadly look forward to the defeats and weakness in the field that inevitably result when an armed force turns on God.
