You can post from the official account of a federal department secretary?
Official acts are different from personal opinions and are held to different standards.
If they were even real.
Apparently attacked them when the Israelites passed through their territory. It's hard to tell from the text.
Where does the text say that?
Well that's lovely. Are you so bothered that we don't care for your book?
We are saddened that so many have chosen the road that leads to destruction.
Ah, a bit of post Davidic propaganda tucked neatly below the admonition not to keep two weights in your bag.

The whole point of Christianity is for it to flourish and be dominant over secularism, humanism, and false religion. That's what we're supposed to be striving for. That all surrender themselves to the Lordship of Christ. That every knee shall bend and every tongue proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord.This one event didn't happen in a vacuum. The issue with Hegseth is that he does not have respect for anyone who believes differently than him. It's part of a pattern because he wants Christian faith to dominate. (IMO this will eventually lead to a purge of non Christians or at the least, they become targeted in some way.)
He's welcome to personally believe that all other faiths and spiritual practices are trash, but its not his place to force his beliefs on others, require that the men under him comply with his vision of religion or make policy to promote his faith and diminish others.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese of Military Services (AMS) issued an Oct. 17 letter denouncing the Army’s cancellation of a sweeping number of on-base religious education coordinators’ chapel contracts as an intolerable infringement of free exercise of religion for Catholics in the United States Army.
“In canceling these contracts, the Army over-burdens Catholic chaplains, harms chapel communities, and impedes the constitutional guarantee of the free exercise of religion especially for Catholics,” Archbishop Broglio wrote in a letter to the faithful in the AMS. “The cancellation of chapel contracts may appear to be a neutral elimination of chapel support which itself affects the free exercise of religion for all soldiers.”
“However, this action disproportionately harms Catholics,” he continued, “first, because Catholic chaplains are already so low density and in such high demand, and second because the Catholic faith requires continuing religious education and sacramental preparation that can only be accomplished through competent support.”
Christians are supposed to put the will of God above all else.
Christ should be at the center of and the foundation of all. Christians should rejoice at politicians that are not ashamed of the Gospel and not afraid to proclaim that Jesus is Lord.
Christians who feel that way should stay out of public office, where they will have to swear to "bear true faith and allegiance" to the Constitution. Wouldn't want them to forswear themselves.
Christ superceseds the Constitution. But really all this fuss is over politicians simply acknowledging Christ.
No the fuss is about Christian nationalists who think Christ supersedes the Constitution. Making the fundamental law of the United States subordinate to religion. That's what we keep hearing is the danger of sharia in the US.
