One man's opinion

My buddy Keith Johnson, who got me involved in prison ministry, in an email that he sent just a few days ago has commented on the recent incident at Foot Hood that I thought was interesting and worth sharing. So I asked him for permission to post it here. Thankfully he was glad to share.

One man's opinion

A Poor Excuse for a Major, a Physician, and a Human Being

Major Nidal Malik Hasan is a religious and a medical fraud. As a veteran, I served in the Marine Corps from 1966-1969; during the time of the draft where one could claim to be a conscientious objector for religious reasons and/or choose to serve as a medic/corpsmen while refusing to carry a weapon.

The late Desmond Doss is the only Congressional Medal of Honor winner to never carry a weapon in combat. Doss said, "I am willing to die for my country, but not kill for my country." He also referred to himself as Cooperative Objector. Yet, he chose to go to war and not carry a weapon, while taking valor to a whole other dimension.

But Major Hasan willingly wounded and murdered unarmed personnel, while claiming Muslims should not be killing other Muslims. Well, if all Muslims held firmly to that belief then please explain to me how Iraq and Iran could go to war for 10 years; while killing, wounding, and maiming millions of Muslims? Was not that war, Muslims killing Muslims? Or can Sunnies kill Shites and visa versa and that rule not apply? Then again, how can all of the suicide bombers be relentlessly killing civilian Muslims every day? What book are they reading, because there are some who are definitely not on the same page of those who have reached a higher calling?

Where is their religious code against Muslims killing Muslims? I am smelling religious hypocrites... thousands of them, maybe millions or more. If their mantra is true about Muslims not killing Muslims, then they should be living in peace, love, harmony, and serenity, but we know that is not the case. So much for zealous religious beliefs.

In addition, Major Hasan also took the Hippocratic Oath as a medical doctor and a portion of that oath reads, " ...I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. ..." Did he just gloss over this oath or something? Or did he have his fingers crossed--when he swore to its creed? Or was he just kidding?

Furthermore, he also took an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies within and without. Meaning, as a professional soldier, he volunteered. Nobody forced him to enter a professional standing Army. So, in reality he is more than a deranged hypocrite despite the oaths that he took, it reveals that he is another typical, religious, pious fraud. So, to those who think he is a hero, then you are just as big a fraud as Major Hasan, for it is clear that by his actions, he endorses the bombings of innocent Muslim men, women, and children that are occurring in Pakistan, Iraq, and Iran as I compose this. Muslims killing Muslims...to the demented zealots is an everyday occurrence. They are so demented that they call cowards and liars, heroes. Will somebody please pass me a dictionary, because one of us appears to have a hard time finding truth, even if truth is the only light peering out of a dimly lit room--Major Hasan would obviously not be able to find it.

Yet, he is in dire need of prayer for he is utterly deceived.

End of the article.

Isn't it interesting how it is so easy to see the deception from Satan that we are all subject to when it is so dramatically, vividly and personally brought home to roost by such public displays of evil, yet when these very deceptions are personified closer to home they can be sometimes harder to see and recognize?

This from the pen of Inspiration:

"Rebellion and apostasy are in the very air we breathe. We shall be affected by it unless we by faith hang our helpless souls upon Christ. If men are so easily misled, how will they stand when Satan shall personate Christ, and work miracles? Who will be unmoved by his misrepresentations? Professing to be Christ when it is only Satan assuming the person of Christ, and apparently working the works of Christ? What will hold God's people from giving their allegiance to false Christs? "Go not ye after them. The doctrines must be plainly understood. The men accepted to teach the truth must be anchored; then their vessel will hold against storm and tempest, because the anchor holds them firmly. The deceptions will increase, and we are to call rebellion by its right name. We are to stand with the whole armor on." - SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 1, p. 1114
