[quote="Low spark":86160]Very good..
Except I do not think that the Chist whose wordsI have heard would want people Martyred in his name.
So no I would not die for Christ
Yes if Chist was supposed to die for our sins, I'd have to say my life is worth his death
And yes I am sure that if there is a God man in his imperfection has his name.
Where will I live enterinty, not really worried about it, I don't believe in hell. a childs scare tactic. When we die we maybe cease to exsist... whatever helps you make it through your life and helps you to be a good person is alright by me. But when that believe is used to hurt or condem people that do not believe as you I think then just maybe there might be a hell waiting for some very suprised people.
I could be wrong, religon is not my forte.
Enjoy.

I'll let God speak for himself through His written Word.
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Matthew 5:11 11 (Jesus speaking) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Why God lets things happen can be confusing sometimes.
Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Be sure about your future.
Galatians 6: 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Take heart.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man (Jesus) is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
