Alright, there is the story that Peter denied that he was the disiple of Jesus and he denied that he didn't know Jesus three times. He lied to save himself from being killed when he was asked. So just to save himself, he lied and denied that he had any relations to the Son of God.
If you knew that you were going to be put to death if you were a Christian, would you lie to your persecutor just so that you can save your life when you know if you're a Christian and you know that you are going to be able and spend eternal life in heaven?
A lot of you may say that you can ask for forgiveness after the denial. When you ask for forgiveness though, doesn't it mean that you aren't going to do it again? I think that when you ask for forgiveness, you should be sincere and never do it again.
What if you were put in that same situation again and denied yourself being a Christian, and ask for forgiveness....once again. Why would you though? Do you think that you deserve the mercy of God since he has forgiven you for denying him the first time?
Please try and answer those questions that I have asked above if they pertain to you. Thanks.
Also, please tell me if you would deny being a Christian if your life is at risk and why.
Don't give me some crappy answer without supporting yourself.
