That is interesting.

I really don't know what to think. On one hand he was fulfilling the Great Commish, but on the converse he was disobeying a strictly set military order. Don't know what to make of it.

That's a hard one.....I definitly understand the evangelical zeal.....however, I was also a Marine and understand orders, politics, and fragile situations that could endanger the mission.

As a unit layreader I was responsible to provide bible studies and religious literature to the troops.....even if they weren't Christian. By doing this I could hold services of my own faith, but one time I had to aquire a Koran for a Marine that had requested one. I ordered it, delivered it, and even discussed it with the Marine. I didn't like it...but it was part of my duty.

but would obeying the Military law/orders) law, directly be making him "sin"? not something I could answer.
