“Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.”
1 Corinthians 3:18 KJV
"The Gospel's very essence is that the Only Savior came to lost men and He delivered us from just condemnation, paying the debt for us with the price of His Blood." –Fr. Daniel Sysoev, "Answers to Questions about the Causes of the Death of the Unbaptized" pr-daniil.livejournal.com/26…
Last week, a proposed list of simplified faith codes was released to the media. The Pentagon list included redundant and unnecessary labeling, and the mistake has been fixed.
The goal of this effort is to simplify a previously out-of-control “belief” coding system that had ballooned to over 200 codes.
In order to clarify the work of chaplains, and simplify the work of commanders, the Pentagon has consolidated and simplified the list to roughly thirty codes — using the previously used labels for faiths.
The Pentagon’s job is not to adjudicate theological debates, but instead to ensure sincerely-held faith is respected and encouraged in our ranks.
Below is the updated Religious Affiliation Codes (RAC) list:
“It is not we [Christians] who create hades, but the just decision of God. For us not to warn unbelievers of this would be despicable.”
