I haven't read it, but it definitely sounds like a book worth reading.

I've thought about those questions and I made the decision that if that ever happens, I will just ask God to forgive me for my sins and then say, "Kill Me!" (Well, that's how I imagine it if it would ever happen to me.)

I have thought about that a lot. If I were in that situation, I'd hope to give words of forgiveness and love to my killers and invite them join me. I'd share how to become a Christian. Some may accept Christ and die with me, but probably most would remember what I'd told them and some would accept Him at a later time. In all this Jesus Christ gets the honor and glory.

(I would make clear my forgiveness in advance. I don't want them to feel so guilty that they feel that Christ would not forgive them.)

I'd refuese any offer of release if I renounced my Lord. He has been faithful to me all my life; why would I be unfaithful to Him at death?

And lastly I ask to knell and die on bended knee in praise and joy worshipping my best Friend.

Thought about it a few times.

Sometimes I think I'll die a martyr. Other times I think I'll die but have made a huge impact somewhere before falling asleep.

I would certainly lay down my life for Christ. I see that thousands and millions of brothers and sisters throughout the world do exactly that, every day. 300 millions Christians are persecuted in the world today because of their faith in Christ and Christian identity.

As Christians we don't need to fear death cause Christ is the Ressurection and Life, he defeated death on our account, so we can only look forward to dying. We won't truly die, only go to paradise to await the new heaven and earth from God.

If we die we will also only cause growth to the kingdom, as our deaths will be a powerful testimony to our hope in Christ. People will be encouraged to become Christians when they see our loyalty to Jesus.

1) I have never been in a situation like that so I can only say I don't know but based on my combat experience the outcome would be for the glory of G-d.

2) If it happen so be it. But I will not push the issue.

I have wondered why God would allow his children to go through such extremes, i guess its free will?

But Ive thought about it alot, and I would definitely keep it gangster for Jesus! Not going to give in to man. I was daydreaming about it and I was singing a popular christian song at trial and my fellow believers were joining in and we were not afraid but joyous.

Some of you say you are willing to die for Jesus. . . . . . .
/ / / / /
If He calls you to Himself, and if that means
either suddenly or gradually [over 1 week or over 33 years]
being kicked out of your family,
(maybe even called 'crazy ' by your mom and brothers),
kicked out of the meeting places (churches, union halls, schools);
abandoned by your 'friends';

mocked and ridiculed and ignored by virtually every person,
maybe thrown in prison (yes, in the united states)
and beaten and not allowed a phone call nor a hearing nor even an advocate;

"are you able to drink this cup?"
