The Marcionite Church has issued a call for military members and potential draftees to seek religious exemptions from combat following a controversial prayer at the Pentagon. The church argues that a government official’s invocation of a Torah-based deity constitutes a violation of Christian faith, claiming the Old Testament god is entirely separate from the God revealed by Jesus. They contend that forcing soldiers to fight under the banner of this "alien religion" infringes upon rights protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. To support those whose consciences are compromised, the organization offers a free legal and theological program designed to help believers secure non-combat roles. By providing these resources, the church aims to protect what it defines as the original Christian faith from modern political and spiritual deception.

Transcript
00:00A war prayer was recently invoked at the Pentagon.
00:02Secretary of War Pete Hegseth publicly invoked Hebrew Torah scripture from Psalms,
00:07calling for overwhelming violence and destruction in the Iran War,
00:12and for the Marcionite Church, this is a line in the sand.
00:16Hegseth's prayer invoked the words and blessing of a deity from an alien religion.
00:20It is named Yahweh of the Torah Old Testament.
00:24A Bronze Age war god, completely alien to Jesus and his teachings.
00:29Our God, God the Father, was unknown to the world before being revealed by Jesus.
00:35He is not the deity of the Torah.
00:37To be forced into combat under the invocation of an alien god
00:40is a direct violation of your conscience and faith.
00:44In fact, it's a clear violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act,
00:48enacted by Congress and signed into law in 1993.
00:52The government cannot legally compel you to act against your faith.
00:55In response, the Marcionite Church has launched a formal Religious Accommodation Program,
01:01and it is completely free.
01:03It affords a possible avenue of protection for not only Marcionites,
01:07but all Christians that adhere to the pre-Nicene Christian faith.
01:12Whether you're currently on active duty or concerned about a potential draft,
01:16you have the right to seek a legal exemption and be transferred to a non-combat role.
01:21Don't be silent when your faith is compromised
01:23and your God is blasphemed in the name of another.
01:27Stand on the revelation of our Christian God
01:29just as we read it in the First Christian Bible of 144 A.D.
01:34Get the theological and legal tools you need
01:36to protect your faith in a time of great deception.
01:40Visit MarcioniteChurch.org and click on Military Exemption.
