He wasn’t “martyred”. That’s an INSULT to Martyrs.
He was however, a self righteous, pompous, arrogant man and now he’s a dead man.
He pi##ed away 50 years of going to places where there would be danger but a CHANCE of surviving and reaching lots of people with the Good Word.
He was TOLD what would happen to him, I’m not QUITE SURE what language he was going to reach them with, and not sure why SO MANY here think they wanted to be bothered.
Maybe we can hire this tribe to work our borders.
Go ahead. Attack. I don’t give a sh.t and you’ll be 4,000 attacks too late.
Never read anything in the Bible that says being an arrogant moron being a good thing.
SO MUCH of the Middle East, Africa, even South America to go and spread the word, and maybe even have a translator accompany you.
But there would be NO FAME in areas where some have been converted already.
PRIDE cometh before a fall.
This time the fall was caused by arrows.
He was however, a self righteous, pompous, arrogant man and now he’s a dead man.

Well he is dead. You got that much right.
And Jesus, Peter, John, Paul, etc. are dead too.
(But are only dead in the flesh, and alive in the spirit?)
Sorry for your loss. It sounds like you knew him pretty well.
Undoubtably, and ironically, he will be a Darwin Award Winner.
Jesus knew with certainty what was going to happen to him. As did his martyred disciples.
Were they arrogant morons also?
Wow. May you find Christ before you die. Because it certainly seems like you have no relationship whatsoever with Him.
