ABC News investigation finds New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ inscribed on high-powered rifle sights used by the U.S. military.

Trijicon high-power rifle sights with New Testament scripture verses (ABC News)

An investigation by ABC News has found coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifles sights provided to the U.S. military by Trijicon. The company, based in Michigan, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide the Marine Corps with up to 800,000 sights and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army. There's a big problem -- the rules of the U.S. military prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were, according to ABC News, drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious "Crusade" in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents.

One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "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."

Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as "the light of the world." John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Trijicon confirmed to ABCNews.com that it adds the biblical codes to the sights sold to the U.S. military. Tom Munson, director of sales and marketing for Trijicon, which is based in Wixom, Michigan, said the inscriptions "have always been there" and said there was nothing wrong or illegal with adding them. Munson said the issue was being raised by a group that is "not Christian." The company has said the practice began under its founder, Glyn Bindon, a devout Christian from South Africa who was killed in a 2003 plane crash.

The action of Trijicon is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution. I am not surprised that members of the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps both told ABC News their services were unaware of the biblical markings. Once again, the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Literally and figuratively.
