   The text clearly shows John confronted each individual group of people   
   about the specific types of sins they needed to repent of. Since their   
   primary occupation was serving as soldiers, it would be nonsense to   
   suggest that John would call them to repent, then make no mention of   
   military service as something they should repent of. You consistently   
   try to suppress the knowledge of the truth with stupid, already refuted   
   lies and stupid false reasoning.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
