Christian hostages murdered by Somali Pirates
What should the Christ Followers response be?
What are you hearing today on social media from other believers?
How does the conflict of dual citizenship (kingdom of God, and USA) affect you?

I haven't seen anything. I don't pray for revenge.

Re: Christian hostages murdered by Somali Pirates
I don't pray for revenge however I think the Navies of the free world need to more actively hunt these guys down and stop them before killing or kidnapping more innocent people

Re: Christian hostages murdered by Somali Pirates
There is a saying something like:
"The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church."
Of course, things like this put some of us in a quandary.
I saw on TV that one of the couples was traveling around and giving out the Scriptures. A Roman Catholic Monsignor mentioned that. To bad they were RCC and not UPC, now they'll go to hell in some folks opinion.

I didn't read they were RCC. But, yeah, they were definitely not "complete" Christians, or even Apostates, in some people's mind...

Re: Christian hostages murdered by Somali Pirates
Im always surprised to hear something like this happening in that area. You'd think by now common sense would say to stay away from that area or be heavily armed and ready for a fire fight

They were traveling in a convoy earlier and then broke away to pursue their own course as it departed from the course of the convoy (not certain where they were headed). The vessel was boarded and commandeered of the coast of Oman near the Persian Gulf. These pirates were certainly far from home.
The first news report I read said that the US Naval vessel that was shadowing the sailboat heard gunshots coming from the sailboat. That's when they boarded in force. Several hijackers were killed, the rest captured. The Americans (4 in number) were immediately treated but succumbed to their wounds... and then it said that the Navy found the remains of two more pirates aboard.
Early reports from actions like this are notoriously sketchy and even contradictory - but did the Americans attempt to overcome the pirates? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yep, better stop worshipping BIG NAME preachers, those with the best voice, FOOD, who gives the most money, people of success in the finest attire, the politically powerful, and ya know, that lucky fishing pole or certain rifle.
Better get rid of all those hobby magazines, classic cars, antiques, and that house you primp up to look better than all those other neighbors. Don't forget that certain breed of dog that is KING, or that Harley Davidson with ALL of the chrome!
Sorry kids, no more dolls. No more super heroes. And you can just forget it, no more Match Box cars or trophies if you win!
And AFFer’s the AVATAR (Avatar; most often refers to a manifestation or appearance of a Hindu deity) is history! No more bowing to your little deceptive, iconic, picture that leads people to their knees. We’ve had enough people in time worship things like the Sun, Moon, and Stars. Burn every Cross and statue you own. No images, no pictures, nothing which might portray a false image.
And last but not least, the MIRRORS have got to GO!!! Can't be looking at that old sinner, gettin all spoofed up for Church or a night out, you little devil, you!!
