Killed Americans handed out both Catholic and Protestant Bibles
http://www.svquest.com/BibleMission.htm ^

Our Mission: To allow the power of the Word to transform lives. We seek fertile ground for the Word and homes for our Bibles. Often, the ultimate homes are best found by people who are already living locally and seeking and cultivating that fertile ground. AND even more extraordinary are the times when people have been praying for Bibles for their group or their schools and when we arrive we are often greeted by the attitude of, "We were expecting you." (that is, they were looking for their prayers to be answered. And...) "What took you so long?" Additionally, we are often an amazing encouragement to folks who are long past "the honeymoon" stage of their ministry! These photos represent over 60,000 miles of seeking homes for the Bibles on the Quest and include areas from New Zealand to Alaska to Central America - and now from Panama, through French Polynesia, the Cooks, Samoa, Tonga and back to New Zealand. 2007 finds us in the Fiji Islands. Also, not all distributions are included. Anytime we have workers on the boat or come into the dock and have an opportunity to talk to people we find more homes for our Bibles. We have just tried to cover a few of the highlights of our Bible Ministry.

2009 has been a great year for the Quest. We started in Los Angeles when we ordered our Bibles - Catholic Bibles from the American Bible Society and NIV Bibles from the International Bible Society. In ordering the Bibles I asked Scott what he thought about the order I have planned and his reply was, “Double it!” I think that was him stepping out there with the expectation that God would provide (the money, the logistics of sending them to New Zealand on a container ship, and the carrying capacity of Quest - which was really strained getting those Bibles onto the boat as low as possible and without interfering with the function of a yacht at sea).

After the murder of the 4 American captives, if Obama does not authorize the Navy to summarilly execute those dirty Muslim pirates, it will show the world he is a WEAKLING...and probably an Islamic sympathizer.

I am so sorry that these distributors of God's word have been murdered.

I wish people would not deliberately put themselves in positions where they almost certainly are going to be treated badly or where others must risk their lives to save them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Russians have had any more trouble since capturing pirates that attacked one of their ships. The pirates were bound and abandoned on-board a boat which the Russians later set afire and sank.

Can’t the officer commanding a vessel be empowered to convene a courts martial and try the pirates in situ?

No officer wants to command his men to kill pirates out of school, but once the legal requirements are satisfied,
there is no earthly reason why they can’t hold a firing party on the fantail.

Errr; I think the world caught on to that about 24 months ago. Never has such an alligator mouth been backed up by such a SMALL hummingbird ass(hole)!

Murdered for distributing God's story love. If there is a cause to die for, this is the top.

BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE AFTER HIS CAPTURE

Photobucket

(WELL, PART OF HIM ANYWAY.GUESS THEY WERE OUT OF PIKES!)

I THOUGHT the rules of the high seas called for the IMMEDIATE execution of pirates? Anyone else think that Obozo tied our guys' hands because these MURDERERS are poor, black, desperate MUSLIMS from Somalia (which, BTW, is Kenya's neighbor) and, instead of pitching these azzholes overboard to feed the sharks, they'll be brought back here, go through an expensive taxpayer subsidized TRIAL then on to prison for 20 or 30 year where they'll live and eat better than they ever have, gain weight, get free medical care, etc., etc. to the tune of 40 grand each per year!

America has LOST ITS MIND!!!

Here's one you should all know about, and MAY be able to save (I don't think they've hung him yet): Said Musa, condemned to death --- by our allies in Afghanistan --- for converting from Islam to Christianity. ACION AGENDA TO HELP HIM HERE (Link).

Please take 5 minutes and help this innocent man.

The Muzzies killed them because they were Christians.

Obama will do all he can to help his fellow believers get released.

We shall Navy Seals incarcerated before we see the start of a trial for the Muslim Pirates.

Catholic bibles include the apocrypha. Historical texts between OT and NT eras.

Can you tell me the verse that curses the Pope?

Thank you.

Basically it comes down to a handful of Old Testament books and whether they're considered canonical or apocryphal.
