The Defense Department canceled a Navy chaplain's sermon in North Carolina on April 28, a day after complaints from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group that advocates for troops and veterans who report discrimination in the military.

Both the foundation and Jewish war veterans have called for an investigation into Lieutenant Aristotle Rivera's sermon. The Foundation said preaching was against the rules against proselytism and fanaticism.

It was not clear why the administrative body published this kind of sermon. Rivera used a well-known New Testament passage in which Peter preached to the “men of Israel” about the atonement for Christ's death. He uses this passage to reject liberal interpretations of Scripture.

The chaplain concludes that the meaning of the passage is: “Jesus lived. You killed him. God raised him up. "

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation and its director, Mikey Weinstein, filed the complaint on behalf of 32 military and civil defense personnel in the Washington area, 24 of whom are Jewish.

Jewish war veterans said they wanted "an apology and confession from Lieutenant Rivera." The group stated that it asked the Department of Defense to issue a statement recognizing the anti-Semitic nature of the article.
