If you are still thinking about that question I am scared to know what you are hiding! Obviously you would confess to the lie; rather than face death, now let's add a torturous death. It's obvious you would confess to your lie. Apply this same logic to what I say next. I can't stress enough, that when faced with such common sense if you fail to see any connection than examine your conscience. Could it just be that you like the way your life is and would have to give up too much to follow God? Sadly many people make that choice every day. However many do not.
Between 1900 and 1980, approximately 26 million, more than half of all Christian martyrs up to that point, were killed. Yes comfy American, there are countries right now all over the world where you are killed for being a Christian. There are countries that do not allow the bible at all! Please ask yourself, why is this happening? Why is the Bible being snuffed out? Also please note the bible prophecies it will happen, there are many fulfilled prophecies in the bible, thousands.
Imagine people choosing death over denying Christ all throughout history; millions of people. Why is it that you give little to no thought over something you know millions have died for, you may have not even read the bible once in the last year. Aren't you a bit curious to know what people are dying for every day? Right now someones life is in danger simply for proclaiming Christ.. These same countries that persecute Christians want to destroy Israel, God's original chosen people, as well. Please at least do some research yourself, read your bible and do what it says, give yourself a fair chance to both sides. How many other things do you completely deny that you may know very little about? The bible says this happens, many will not see, but you can if you look!
Lets go back to my original question. Would you die for a lie. You would have know it was not a lie to give your life. So if you still don't want to believe, you must think these people were deceived. Hundreds of thousands of people each year are being deceived to their death, and millions more profess the same belief but are not being killed. If you believe that, than you should really be against Christianity. You should have your own blog fighting this atrocity that people are dying for.
What about those that could not be deceived, because they were there, or better yet. Christ himself. All mainstream historians agree Jesus Christ was put to death 2000 years ago by the Roman government for claiming to be God. He was tortured tremendously. He was not deceived. All the apostles except John were martyred, horrible deaths. At any moment they could have renounced Christ and lived (and been celebrated by the locals who hated Christians, they would have been their poster boys!). They didn't because they had no fear of death. They saw him back from the dead, so did with many others. They saw the miracles, it is historical fact that they died for Jesus, tell me you think he fooled them all? Then the best part, they started the largest church in history that has spread the entire globe and lasted the last 2000 years! If so you have great faith in your beliefs, even greater than mine.
God says if you are not with him, you are against him. There is no straddling the fence. If you are not willing to take the time to do the research and make an educated decision, than you should ask yourself, have you already made your decision? If you are not willing to read your bible for awhile and do what it says and see for yourself, research this phenomena a bit, it should be obvious, you have chosen the world over God. Whether you are content with life, maybe not willing to give up a particular sin, maybe you are too intellectual. Whatever the reason, your silence to God is heard loud and clear.
10 out of 10 people die, make sure you do your homework on what happens next. The answers are there.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
