Since the King James Version is a faithful and inerrant translation of the original Greek and Hebrew, the only way I can think of those of you who do not take it up and read, and speak against it to turn others away, is to be automatically in great error.

Children from Christian homes should not be in government schools. EVER. Under ANY circumstances.

Talk about a no-win situation! Half the parents are fuming because they're heathens, and the other half are KJV-only and think the Gideons have apostatized by not using the KJV!
I think people just like to get angry. They don't care why. If you didn't like the Bible, just sit your kid down and explain why. Talk about free speech and how everyone is going to give you their religious material at some point, but how the same free speech lets you read Bertrand Russell and Richard Dawkins in freedom. Why fume? Why teach your kids to be touchy little nerve bundles ready to explode in rage every time someone drops a hat? People are so thin-skinned and easily offended now that it's just a knee-jerk reaction.

I don't know what the problem is. If the not mills want to stay behind, why should they be dragged away against their theological will? Maybe they don't want to miss all the excitement that follows.

another nonsense of amillennialism is of course "replacement theology"
the church has NOT replaced Israel

The Scriptures DO teach however, that if any are alive and remaining until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ's imminent return, AND have not recieved the mark of the beast, NOR have worshipped the beast and his image, as overcomers of the hour of temptation which shall try the whole land of the living; they shall appear with the Lord in the air to partake of marriage supper of the Lamb, being worthy to escape the vials, and the treading of the winepress, of the wrath of God.

The Biblical-Historic Doctrine Of The Pre-Millenial/Pre-Tribulation Rapture Of GOD !

They who say they are Jews (who yet reject Christ and the fulfillment of the law, and are not Hebrews, but do lie) may attain to salvation by keeping Jesus' word, including getting out of Judea and Jerusalem when it is compassed with armies (Luke 21:20). Others will exalt themselves to establsh the vision, only to fall (the robbers of thy people in Daniel 11:14), while some others will survive the great earthquake prophesied in Revelation 11:13, who will be affrighted, and glorify God (by faith in his Son): these will not look back while fleeing the appearance of the abomination that makes desolation (Mat.24:15).

As for them dwelling in the Holy Land: we look for good, but this generation are more likely to add sin to sin, seeing they exalt themselves in their heart above their BRETHREN, as high as the space shuttle goes over the earth. Jeremiah the prophet agrees: he said he hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright.

You see, it does not matter how much difference we find ourselves with each other, we are still connected, we are still members one of another: that's the reason why the Scriptures COMMAND us to put off all lying (false witnessing of God) to one another! and why the harmless yet wise Early Church parted its goods unto all men! but no, backsliders are too busy playing kingdom of the south and want to prevail by a great army and riches, and not by the Lord!

Post WWII the U.S. had multiple servicemen in Germany, Japan, Italy and France, etc. who were quite free to witness to both those who lost the war and those who were liberated.

To my mind, the soldier was probably duped into this by his church, without thinking through the ramifications of breaking US military law. Besides which, he isn't being paid a wage, and given free transport to Afghanistan, to play the role as a missionary to the locals, but to go kill enemies.
