something about Paradise, Allah and virgins from what I remember. Why would they die for a lie?
Allah is a LIE?!?
They died for an unknown. Meaning they had nothing other than what they were told about their religion, and true or not they believed.
This is not the case with Paul or the rest of Christianity. With Paul he performed many miracals in the name of God. To perform these miracals in God's name and not repersent God would be die-ing for a lie. We have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit right now. The muslim does not have any access to their God in any way shape or form in this life (and only the best of the best in the next) so they must simply 'have faith' in what they believe.
So again the point I'm making is not death=truth. that's an oversimplified strawman you guys march out when you refuse to look at the reasons people die for what they believe.
The Point being made was what Paul's faith was founded on, what those who have died and continue to die in the name of Jesus is founded on. verses simple faith based zeal.
