Wow.

LORD be with the families and loved ones of these two martyrs.

And if You see fit please change the hearts of those who did this evil act just as quickly as You changed Saul’s heart and renamed him Paul and set Him to work for You and Your purpose.

That is dying for Christ. Prayers for comfort and peace for their families.

Two Russian mercenaries who were slaughtered by ISIS after they refused to to be filmed rejecting their Christian faith and converting to Islam have been remembered as martyrs by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Roman Zabolotny, 39, and Grigory Tsurkanu, 38, were thought to be fighting for a private Russian mercenary force in Syria when they were captured by ISIS last week, the Mail Online reports.

May the LORD God of Israel grant them everlasting life in His kingdom and comfort all those who mourn for them. May they be reunited with those they love, and those who love them, in His kingdom forever.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew, Catholic chapter ten, Protestant verses thirty two to thirty three,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

I volunteer to be a torturer of ISIS warriors.

It is not “cruel and unusual” punishment when they choose it for others.

These two died for Christ and have more rewards than we can possibly imagine!

May their deeds be an example for all of us and God Bless their families.

This is what libs would do to us eventually if they had the power. Doubt it at your peril.

We will all as Christians avenge your deaths. Count on it, we’ll kill them by the bucket loads...

Just for clarification the Russian Orthodox Church has not formally declared these two martyrs (yet). The linked video is the work of a layman and represents his opinion. That said there is a lot of discussion in online forums for Orthodox Christians and they are certainly being referred to as holy martyrs. In the Orthodox Church there is still the custom of canonization by acclamation as recently seen with the Great Martyr Yevgeny Rodionov.

Great and Holy New Martyrs pray for us!
