Another Heaven resident. What courage!
Ah yes. The difference between a Christian Martyr and a muslim martyr.
One is willing to die for his faith,
the other will murder for his faith.
Courage.Enormous courage.
And this from a land that a few short decades ago would have castigated the soldier for being Christian.
Waiting for Muslim expression of outrage over this monument being offensive towards Islam.
Will his family be billed $200,000 by Mecca for his security expenses?
Russian soldiers are some of the bravest in the world.
I have always wondered how some Christians (Catholic Church) and Jews think the god of the Muslims is the God of the Christians and Jews. There is no way. Reason should tell them that the Muslim god in no way has the characteristics of the Christian God. And why would a same god have two totally different directions for his people? The Muslim god is a demon, Allah, god of the moon. Mecca, at the time of Mohammed, had a different temple for each day of the year. The angel who appeared to Mohammed directed him to destroy all of them except the one to Allah, the moon god. He is a pagan god. Not the God of Jews and Christians.
Bump!
Media is silent on this warcrime and hate crime.
They still trot out the corpse of Matthew Shepherd every year though.
It’s the religion of an antiChrist figure (one against Christ who leads the flock astray).
Islam is the only major religion to acknowledge the existence of Jesus while at the same time denying His divinity, His death by crucifixion, and His resurrection.
Islam conquered and converted by the sword. It subverted the local faiths and replaced them with the teachings of a conquering warlord.

Revelation 20:4
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4
It wasn’t for his faith but I remember early in the “Desert Storm II” the Italian hostage that was excuted by the ragheads who broke his bonds and stood up and ripped the hood of and screamed, I will show you how an Italian dies, like a MAN!” Wow, he had some big brass ones. If his faith was as big as his courage he is in heaven fer sure.
“...a Christian Martyr and a muslim martyr...”
Personally, I’d prefer the Christian alive and sending as many of the muzzscum as possible to meet up with their prophet.
God bless the kid. Hope the Lord welcomed him home. Things are getting pretty strange when a Russian soldier is a better Christian than some Americans.
Then again, God does things differently, doesn’t He...?
One is willing to die for his faith,
the other will murder for his faith.
In a nutshell.
