		<description><![CDATA[From what I&#039;m hearing the Apostolic Christian Church is denying that she is part of them. The information I&#039;m getting is that this is her church and it is part of an Apostolic-Pentecostal Church the http://www.apostolic-churches.com/pages/Morehead---Solid-Rock-Apostolic-Church-6458.html  You can see in their statement of belief that they are Oneness Pentecostals. 

As far as this mattering in this case--my point is that it doesn&#039;t matter as far as a case for religious liberty. But I&#039;m still hesitant to refer to her as a Christian martyr because I&#039;m hesitant to refer to her as a Christian--since from what I&#039;m seeing she is a modalist who denies the Trinity. But perhaps David has some information that I do not.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in Canada where—I only recently learned—even FULL-TERM abortions are protected by legislation.  
 
A member of the Canadian federal (national) parliament, who is seeking re-election, recently phoned to ask for my support in re-electing the current majority political party to another term in Canadian parliament.  (They got both my vote and financial support in the past.)
  
In civil tones, I expressed my outrage at his majority political party&#039;s refusal or indolence in addressing abortion as the silent slaughter of pre-borns in Canada.

His answer?  &quot;This is not the time.&quot;

Yes it is.  In the British tradition, we Candians say that religion is a private thing.  

But murder clearly is not.

Thank you, thank you for your article, a compelling contrast of the temporising timidity of many politicians—and posturing Christian pundits—and the Godly gutsiness of Mrs Davis.  May her tribe increase.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you, pastor Murray.  I&#039;d like to add that many of the Copts today or the Nestorians in the past would be considered genuine Christians, despite the modern, evangelical filter we tend to want to apply to every other denominations... though I wouldnt go too far as to include Mormons or JWs.  Or, maybe I&#039;m somewhat soft on the modalist position, since it does not deny Christ&#039;s deity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Biblical Definition of a Martyr is one who Died for refusing to renounce their Faith, to demonstrate their Faith in the Eternal Life promised to them by Christ.


Whether one agrees with her political stance or not, to apply the term Martyr to Kim Davis is an insult to all Martyrs of The Gospels.]]></description>
