Would You Deny Your Christian Faith In An Attempt To Spare Your Life? by JayCee2010: 2:52am On Sep 28, 2013
We've all heard about the incident that occurred in Kenya, Nairobi, over the last week- where al-Shabab terrorists attacked a popular up-scale shopping mall and killed dozens.

It was also reported that some people were held hostage and those who claimed to be Muslims were allowed to go free, the non-Muslims however were shot and killed. Apparently the terrorist conducted an Islamic quiz; asking the hostages basic Islamic questions e.g. name of Mohammed's mother.

I've tried to imagine what it would've been like, if i were among the hostages, and then watching some people answer correctly and go free, and other getting shot for not knowing the answers to their questions.

When it got to my turn, what would i have done?
Would i have just admitted that I was a Christian and allow myself to be killed, for my faith?
Would i have denied my Christian Faith and lied i was a Muslim, only to get the question wrong and still get killed?


Honestly, I don't know.
how about you guys, what would you have done?

One thing you should understand about life in Christ is that it transcend this world, for the bible says if our hope is in this world alone then of all men we are the most miserable 1Corinthians 15:19. So death in the flesh is just a transition to the real life.
Anyone that is afraid of death or lie to save his life is shortsighted n does nt know what the life entails. Having said this it does not mean that we make ourselves susceptible to death for we all have purpose to fulfil on earth n until we finish we would not die, this is why we walk circumspectly as wise n not as fool redeeming the time in this evil days Ephesians 5:15-16.
The truth is that we should never compromise our faith for anything not just death, u will be surprised as to how many sell their birthright just for a morsel of bread like Esau. For we have a hope n a future in Christ, His word hold promises for us both in this world n the one to come 1Timothy 4:8.

Stay blessed n remain rapturable
