@Markenny its funny how people say they believe in God (some believe in Heaven, Peaceful rest or the like) and yet they fear death. Amazing. I have embraced my mortality. Its written that I like all man shall perish and I wont deny my Creator in the process. I am sorry. As I stated its not a fact that I may be so strong with a hideous thing in my face however I pray that I leave the earth with my new found strength.

Either way its 50/50 whose to say the lunatic isnt a religious fanatic who is on a homicidal rampage against those who do NOT believe in God? What are you going to say then? That you do ONLY because you don't want to die? Tisk tisk.

so many peters in the house

EXACTLY!!!!

I was going to post that.

People please do not commit the sin of presumption. I know you want to affirm yourself of this, but the best you can do is pray that God gives u the grace to profess Him in times of adversity.

That is my prayer.

The truth is, does it actually make sense to die for your religion? Wouldnt god be happier if u stayd alive and helped his work? We all tell simple lies everyday, what diff would one more lie do, esp when ur life is on the line. Or would u be happy if u grew up in an orphanage just because ur parents were willing to die for their beliefs.

99.9% of so called "Christians" would denounce their faith without thinking twice.How many true Christians do we have? How many so called Christians of today can endure with Paul,Silas and Stephen endured? Nil ! ! !

All of them go to church because of promise of blessings and nothing more.

Let's apply brains here . . . the Bible says he won't give me a temptation which he knows I cannot overcome.
Yeah, I agree, this temptation is bigger than me . . . I agree with that.
So how does that make me a worse Christian??

Never! Why should I deny my faith in the first place? It goes to show how truthful you are to your belive. I rather die than deny JESUS. After all, death will still any how someday.
No wonder some of you turned black with or without confrontations. In fact, no wonder some of you deliberately refuses to indicate your religion in your CVs.
May God have mercy on us all.

Matthew 21:28-32 (King James Version)

28But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Interpretation

The first son represents all sinners who at some point in their lives repent of their sinful ways and turn to God in trust and obedience.
The second son represents all those who appear to be zealous on the surface, but at heart are quite disobedient. The vineyard is the church.

We seem to have a lot of the 2nd son type Christians on nairaland. Remember what Peter said when Christ told him undecided undecided undecided

Sprumbaba:

If peter, one of Jesus disciples could deny knowing jesus in the bible (At Gun Point).

Who am I not to denounce my faith at Gun point. The answer is YES. I will do it always whenever the opportunities present itself.


Hmmm,

Bros you forget that the same Peter who denied him then and all the other apostles who abandoned him then later on died the most gruesome deaths for the same Jesus they once denied.

What changed them?? They'd seen Jesus alive after he was crucified. That changed everything for them.

The same disciples who were in hiding after Jesus had been crucified were the same ones who boldly and fearlesssly preached him in the open in spite of persecutions and warnings from the authorities to desist from doing so, and eventually they paid with their lives.

So my take again, by God's grace I will not even consider denying him at all. Whether threatened with death or torture. smiley

@joe4christ,

The reason why most of them have said (truthfully) that would deny Christ at gunpoint, is because they've been sold a watered down version of the gospel (of convenience) and don't even know what is ahead (the end times).

I think when the anti christ shows up, the chaff will be separated from the wheat, as quasi-christians "apply wisdom" and choose to stay alive and comfortable. . . while true Christians hold onto their faith and pay for it dearly.

Abeg help me tell them.How many of these so called self-professing Christians go to church unconditionally for the love of Jesus Christ and nothing more? How many? Nil! ! !

Their "partnership" with Christianity is based on gains and nothing more.Nobody here would gladly accept a bullet for the love of Jesus.All of them that say otherwise are liars! ! !

Agreed. All these christians who would "never" denounce Jesus Christ would the first to become Sango worshippers at the sight of a man with a gun.

Thank you, they changed and all that.
When they died, they had no say in it. . . now that's wisdom.

No jumping infront of a man with a gun and saying, 'shoot you coward' like most people are claiming they would.

Why wait to be killed? Why not hasten your trip to join your father by doing it yourself? This is getting out of hand - a death cult. Yet the same people who cannot wait to join their father in heaven are the same people who lined up to condemn Mutallab when he tried to hasten his trip to the land of the 72 virgins.
Re: Will You Denounce Your Faith At Gun Point? by Nobody: 12:15pm On Apr 22, 2010
used to spit religious about this in my younger days, but now being all the lot wiser and seeing the mess we call religion I'll swiftly denounce anything if it can keep myself and my loved ones alive. I've learnt to look at the bigger picture of not trying to prove a point but trying to live (for oneself and one's loved ones) to fight gloriously another day.
