So you accept people who kill innocents in the name of Christ as Christian now?? What real evidence do we have that these people were even killed? Or that they were killed for being christian and not for being terrorists?
When you dig down, you see that the majority died in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More than four million are estimated to have been killed in that war between 2000 and 2010, and CSGC counts 900,000 of them - or 20% - as martyrs.
Over 10 years, that averages out at 90,000 per year.
Most died fighting in a WAR--an activity most which evangelicals approve of
You're quoting another source, stating that it discredits the one the OP posted. Are you able to directly address the OPs post, or are you going to simply go with this new article, stating it is authoritative?
So you have no real evidence to back up the assertion you're making. gotcha.
You didn't ask me to do that, you asked if it was in the link.
Now clam down Viz ... I agree with you that dying because you believe in Christ makes one a martyr, but the link in the OP is simple math. They count a whole lot more than people simply dying because of their beliefs. I think it is impossible to figure out how many Christian martyrs died last year, but if someone adds dying from war in the equation it is simple to see the number being lower than what is reported.
Jesus Christ knows who was His and who was not , as Jesus Children souls would be collected and given a martyrs crown of life , which is not a proud thing at all but a honorable blessing from God ............. See terrorist and war pigs can kill of the body of a child of God but they cannot kill their souls .......

Does that make sense?
I'll agree that we are likely not talking about ONLY people that are dying as a direct result of someone saying "Let's go kill some Christians". But it does not state that they are US bombs killing them, which you stated.

Yes it does not state that. It also doesn't state Syrian bombs, or Russian bombs, or Iran's bombs.
My response was because you thought they were all killed for their belief in Christ (Which is what the topic suggests, but it is wrong).
I'm not trying to start any trouble with you, I just need to spread reputation points around before I can give another one to ya!
I'd also like to tell you to relax, don't let this non Christian place stress you out.
I'm back and God's Word is going to rule here!
