NEW YORK, NY – A gun manufacturer has been providing weapons to the U.S. military with bible codes on them!
Trijicon is a Michigan-based manufacturing company that makes high-powered rifle sights. It currently holds a $660 million multi-year contract with the military to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marines.
It has been discovered that the sights have coded references to New Testament passages about Jesus Christ!
A number of codes have been found. One is JNN8:12, which references the book of John, Chapter 8, Verse 12, which states, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Another reads 2COR4:6, which states, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
It is prohibited in the military to proselytize any religion in Iraq or Aghanistan, especially in light of criticsm that America was on a religious crusade against Islamic radicals.
Trijicon is not denying the existence of the codes. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing, said the codes “have always been there.” The tradition began with its founder, Glyn Bindon, who was a devout Christian. Munson said the codes were only now being brought up by a group that is “not Christian.”
A spokesman for the U.S. Army has said they were unaware of the inscriptions, and are discussing how to proceed. Michael Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group that fights for separation of church and state in the military, said, “It’s wrong, it violates the Constitution, it violates a number of federal laws.
“It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they’re being shot by Jesus rifles,” he continued.

This is stupid, Trijicon sights are some of the best in the world. That's all that should matter to the military. With multiple fronts raging in the war on terror lets focus on the job at hand and forget about something s
That's right; can't have the people you're shooting be offended by the weapons you use to do so…
This company has been supplying the military weapons for many years and someone has just now noticed this. It is stupid for them to make such a big deal about now. This is not something that this company has just come up with, they have put scripture reference on their guns ever since the founding of their company. These soldiers need alittle inspiration and hope in their lives because the see alot. The Muslims already hate us because they hate Christ. If it isn't this it will be something else. Frankly I am ashamed of our government. Shame on you for being cowards. Think of those young people in Littleton Colorado who lost their lives for Christ, they did not coward down. They professed that they blelieved in Christ when they had guns in their face. What acsad thing that you are concerned about some scripture reference in a serial number.
This story is just more of the 'anti christ' establishments rhetoric.
YES! Kudos to Trijicon. Many people gave their lives so we may have freedom, and that includes religious freedom. Our government should not be ashamed of any company righteous enough to exercise the freedom for which so many have fought.
The government should cancel this contract.
Grind off the numbers.
Don't give the Muslims a propaganda bullet to shoot real bullets.
Okay, let's put it this way. What about if they were inscribed with passages from the Qur'an? This story and your comments would have a completely different slant. The United States was not founded on Christian values, our forefathers were not good pious Christians. They were deists, look it up.
If you actually read the New Testament, then you know that having Scripture quoted on the sight of a rifle defeats the entire message of Christ.

i told my mom about it, and since she's very religous she highly opposes about the fact that religous symbols are on what she hates scopes/guns(mostly guns tho)
"i said it dosent seem very offending but if it does to you, then deal with it."
i also said "the company may have some religous spirit in them, anyways guns are just dangerous toys."
well im a airsofter, and my mom hates guns. now thats gonna be a big debate about me and my mom.
so if the catholics have a problem with muslims/voodoo/atheist/etc then throw away ur rosary and get the holy hand grenades! we cant expect these religons to go away by themselves cant they. LOL(just kidding)
What a hypocritical attitude to want to do away with or cancel this. America you are fighting that war to maintain a civilised 21st century standard of life as opposed to a 7th century fanatical and barbaric doctrine. Not all the soldiers are Christians – that inscription represents Western ideologies – not the individuals as most were / are unaware of the inscriptions anyway. Get real.
God does not need man to fight His war, man needs God to be with him when he fights his own war/s! If scripture as innocent as these give those that believe in Christ 'Hope and Comfort', that He is there with them, then they fought for the right to have their Lord and Savior by their sides when & where they cannot carry 'The Book of God…The Bible' with them! If my son and/or daughter wants scripture with them in war then the government of the US has no right to take it from them. Our enemies carry their Qur'an with them but you want to dictate to us what we/they can or can't have when they fought for their/our freedom. Get Real they earned the right to have Scripture with them!
EPH 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Also I will not willingly pay tax dollars for abortions. My advice to those that are getting pregnant 'shut your legs' and control your life where you do not 'Murder' the innocent for your lack of restraint! There are people in prison for 'Murder' President Obama for this very act that you promote in our Great Nation! My earnings are not to pay for what you call a mistake. I think that is why we have another form of 'Birth Control' to take care of this issue. I suggest you use these cheaper options to keep from getting pregnant. The pill 'the morning after' it is also 'Murder'! So back to the funding of these 'Murders…Keep your hands out of my pockets and put them in the pockets of those that say this is ok with them. You had sex, you got pregnant so you deal with it yourself…'I owe you nothing'. I hope you hear this President Obama! And My God says gay/lesbian behavior is an abomination to Him. Can they be saved? Yes, He welcomes you as a changed creation in Him! So President Obama you may cover up the name of Jesus Christ but you cannot hide from Him.
Now about insurance…If I can't afford insurance then I can't afford your $3500 fine either, so you will put our Nation in debt and all the people in this Great Nation too because you can't do the math 'or' is that what you are aiming for…A One World currency! I wash my hands of the sins of this Nation because it is not the America I trust any more. What happened to We The People of 'The United States'? We don't have to take this any more. We are falling like a rock because this Nation wants to deny 'The One True Leader Of It'…God! If you believe there is a Heaven & a Hell then you are going to want God on your side in the end. If you deny Christ well…
Wow, nice rant Pamela. I agree with you even tho it is a bit off topic, but yea im glad people are waking up and seeing the one world govt, forming. I say Fu*k yea to the scripture on our weaps. This is a War over Religion whether people wanna admit it. The Taliban is willing to why not US??? Its not part of the agenda of some, and most will want to watch the world burn and then re-emerge to rule.
So next we will be removing the Christians from fighting because they believe in Jesus and might be carrying a Bible. The Taliban are supporting their religion, I think we should call all the guns Jesus Guns whether they have the sights or not. Impress on the enemy that this is a war of religion for sure and they started it. Why are we so worried about offending the Taliban? or the people we are trying to help? Would they be offended that a Christian saved their life or improved their country, took down their crazed dictator, and open schools for their girls? Should we take it all back or give it all back because the US has Christians in our Armed Forces or references on their weapons? This is so trite.
