PODCAST

Today we will talk about the Biblical approach to discuss if our pets are in heaven with my thoughts from theology.

A few points:
1.) I think Charlie Kirk was martyred MORE for the Republican cause than the Christian, though I would accept him as both.
2.) I do not count this as a CHRISTIAN martyrdom specifically because his venue was political, not gospel-orientated.
3.) ANYONE on ANY side of the political isle should mourn the loss of a political martyr.
4.) ANYONE who is praising a man's death, or interfering with that man's mourners are purely evil or under the influence of DEMONIC activity.
