The God I chose to believe, doesnt judge a man by the words he speaks or the church he goes to or the people he trys to convert, but by the actions he takes. In my heaven, people who have denied God even exists, but lead good lives and treat other people with compassion, still get in
Christ himself said if you deny him in front of men, he will deny you in front of the father.
Its really crystal clear. Don't mean to offend.

Not here to argue. Won't argue with you.
Will offer to buy you lunch and explain why I feel what I believe.

Suffering is what we sign up for when we are Christians. There are Saints before us, true Martyrs, who died standing for Christ.
Denouncing our faith in the face of various trials should be not be acceptable.

It's on "Liveleak." However, they show the beginning and the aftermath. It is possible it was staged, but I doubt it. Brutal.

The thing that gets me is, what would I do in a situation in which they threatened to kill the life of another innocent soul depending on my words. Now you're faced with a serious moral dilemma.
People in here saying they wouldn't denounce God if a gun was pointed at their head-would you do it if a gun was pointed at your fellow man's head?
I have never been in a situation like that, so I can't pretend to know what I would do.

It doesn't matter if you worship rocks; if you make the world a better place, you're good in his eyes.

if you saved that person and yourself wouldn't you have time to make your actions right with god?

That case is different. It's an unselfish act to save another. You would also be able to "accept" Jesus again

If you denounce him to save your arse, that's it? No apologizing and making things right?

still have time to asks for forgiveness...you can just think it immediately after saying it right?

Denouncing him in the selfish act of saving yourself is kind of the point of that scripture
