Zone1 Ye cannot serve two masters

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Though not a Christian or Jew or Moslem of any 'suasion, I think the line is eternally correct and always have followed it.

Simple example. LeoXIV has another calling that supersedes American citizen.


I had a Brigade commander ask me in a closed-door disciplinary meeting why I would not do what the JAG of 1st Cavalry Division wanted. I told the Colonel that the Battalion Commander wanted to do matters differently than counseled by the JAG advisory lawyer seconded to the Battalion. The Colonel then asked, "Why?

I told him, "I cannot serve two masters. My orders assign me to his Battalion. I support the Battalion Commander."

The issue itself was not a matter of right or wrong, but the conflict of who to obey was ethical.

The Colonel refused to continue my case and discharged it, thank heavens. If he had relieved the Battalion commander of the case and ordered me to prepare charges under the Brigade command, I would have done so.

I was lucky. The JAG later became the Judge Advocate General of the U. S. Army, and I gather he served with distinction, including with terrorists and their Gitmo charges.

I hadn't realised when you became Pope you lost your right as an American Citizen to FREE SPEECH no matter when it was exercised.

Mark 12:17 Then Jesus told them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." And they marveled at Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” And they were amazed at him.

That encompasses a lot, not just taxes but loyalty, fidelity, etc.

Then again I don't know how that stood-up when Caesars were considered a deity a bit before the time Christ was born.

There were plenty of Christians who would not recognize Caesar's divinity. They are called martyrs.

one confused puppy - their religion is servitude - the 1st century is the repudiation of judaism (all three) for that reason ... a&e chose self determination, same as 1st century events and jesus.

to serve no one - is the true religion - what then is your point ...

It is clear you have no point, so you won't understand mine. No run along and chase a piece of fluff.

Servitude is often several options of a choice.

If my Bn Cdr had told me to do it the JAG's way, sure, I would have done it without question.

sure, not to wear out my welcome ...

aren't you speaking of a special situation - the military and then you claim are several options - that's surprising as being either or ... some do not join the military for that very reason - as requiring everyone to be a skinhead and taking control of their thinking and making them into little robuts --- some would say that's wrong even for the military.

- similar to desert religions.

really -

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

as long as that is spoken by christianity the intent must be prohibited ... c-bear.

You do know what “Slander” means? Free speech or free anything requires laws keep a society from anarchy. Democrats have been slandering Trump for 12 years now.

Free expression of religion is at the core of the rights of individuals. Without it, the society turns into communist dictatorship.

religion, christianity hasn't a right to misinterpret the 1st century events to suit their own personal objectives - has nothing to do with free speech.

liars are a dime a dozen on nearly every religious street corner.

He did not commit adultery.

He did not stick his digits into an unwilling woman.

He was not a serial adulterer.

He is not a 34-time felon.

I am glad we cleared all this up.
