美軍武器刻有秘密'耶穌''聖經代碼
U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes
Pentagon Supplier for Rifle Sights Says It Has 'Always' Added New Testament References
五角大樓步槍瞄準器供應商說，它已'經常'加上新約引用
By JOSEPH RHEE, TAHMAN BRADLEY and BRIAN ROSSJan. 18, 2010
Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.
以新約聖經有關耶穌基督章節作編碼引用，被刻在由一密歇根州的公司，提供給美國軍隊的高功能步槍瞄準器上，美國ABC廣播公司的調查發現。
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.
U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were 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."
槍上瞄準器的其中一個引用2COR4：6，表面參照是指新約哥林多後書四章6節，內容是：“那吩咐光從黑暗裏照出來的 神，已经照在我們心裏，叫我們得知 神榮耀的光，顯在耶穌基督的面上。“
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."
亦有其它引用包括來自啟示錄，馬太和約翰福音，與耶穌作為“世界的光”有關。
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.

美軍武器刻有聖經秘密代碼後 被稱為'耶穌槍'
U.S. military weapons dubbed 'Jesus guns' after being inscribed with secret Bible codes
By Paul Thompson

US military officials have launched an investigation after it was revealed coded Bible passages have been inscribed on high-powered rifle sights being used in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers.
Lawyer and former air force officer Michael Weinstein said the inscriptions play into the hands of those who say the US is on a 'crusade' against Islam
Bible inscriptions: One of the military sights in use with the code of 2COR4:6, which refers to Second Corinithians chapter 4:6 of the New Testament
'It allows the Mujahedeen, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the insurrectionists and jihadists to claim they're being shot by Jesus rifles,' he said.
U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the promotion of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The sights are manufactured by Michigan-based company Trijicon who have a £400 million contract to supply 800,000 sights to the US military.
The company admitted to ABC TV that each of the sights has words and number that references a passage in the bible - in direct violation of Pentagon rules on religion.
One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, which refers 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.'
Jesus gun: Another rifle sight, with an inscription of JN8:12, referring to Gospel of John, chapter eight verse 12
耶穌槍：另一個步槍瞄準器，雕入JN8：12，指的是約翰福音八章12節
Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John describing Jesus as 'the light of the world.'
John 8:12, referred to as JN8:12, reads: 'Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'
Pentagon officials said they were aware of the numbers on the sights but had no idea of their biblical links as they appear in the same font and size as the serial number on the Advanced Combat Optical Guides.
A spokesman for Trijicon said the inscriptions had always been on the sights and began under is founder Glyn Bindon, who was a devout Christian.
Embarrassingly for Pentagon chiefs, the sights are currently being used by Afghan and Iraqi troops.
Weinstein,spokesman for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the biblical markings had led to some people to call them 'Jesus guns'.
'This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country,' said Weinstein.
'It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we're fighting. We're emboldening an enemy.'
A Pentagon spokesman said they were discussing what action to take

美英士兵步槍「聖經密碼」引起關注
更新時間 2010年 1月 20日, 格林尼治標準時間19:36
英美部隊為使用的狙擊步槍向美國一家公司訂購的先進光學戰鬥瞄準鏡，但是瞄準鏡刻印的編號卻出現了「聖經密碼」。
例如編號JN8:12就是代表約翰福音第8章、第12節。
軍方人士擔心，這種編號會被視作英美在阿富汗等地進行「宗教戰爭」。
英國國防部稱，在訂購時他們並不知道有這種「聖經密碼」編號的問題。
宗教戰爭
立場反戰的英國自由民主黨發言人說，瞄準鏡上的「聖經密碼」可能會被「敵人」用來作為「證據」，證明英美是在進行一場基督教和伊斯蘭之間的戰爭。
美軍方面也對瞄準鏡出現「聖經密碼」表示擔心。
BBC中文網嘗試與生產該型瞄準鏡的公司—Trijicon聯絡，但是該公司表示暫時無人可以對提問做出及時地回答。
不過根據一些通信社的報道說，該公司表示成立20多年以，該公司一直採取如此的做法。
報道說，該公司是家庭擁有的企業，他們希望能夠幫助士兵們，而信奉基督教的該公司也是以此表示對士兵們的支持。
