No doubt, there are Muslim groups
(and others) that would hold a gun
to a christian's infant's head and
demand that they deny christ. I know
many christians who have told me
that they would never deny christ,
and that they would willingly martyr
themselves along with their infant
because it meant that they would
be ushered into heaven.
How is it that Christians are fanatical and radical?
Death has nothing to do with being in heaven, faith in our Lord Jesus Christ brings grace into our lives from God Father.
Faith is the opposite of denial.

How is your willingness to die
to get into heaven based on
your religion any better than
the religion of the ones who
are willing to kill you so they
can get into heaven? Aren't
you both willing to die for god?
Dying for God has nothing to do with getting to heaven.
To live eternally with God requires faith in the Son of God,
through this faith we receive grace from God the Father.
God says murders will not enter into His eternal kingdom,
so committed terrorist will not be there, simple really.

The Quran says so... It's inspireed don't ya know?
If it's inspired it is inspired by Satan.
Satan is the great deceiver and that means many have
been deceived, tell me how does it feel to be deceived?

believe the EXACT same things, right?
That everyone outside the faith (respectively)
is doomed to eternal hell where you and god
get to indulge in the pleasure of watching
'infidels' being tortured in hellfire - Right?
Are you so deceived that you really believe they
are the same, interesting that one could be so deceived.
Only unforgiven sinners will be rejected and sent to hell.
No one will watch the suffering happening in hell,
scriptures tell us this.
For someone who claimed they were a Christian you sure know little about it, oh that's right you have been deceived for a very long time.

home following a bible study, she talked about strong faith. I asked her if
she would be willing to deny christ if it meant that it would save her life.
She said, "No." I asked her if she would take a bullet and die rather than
deny christ; she said "Yes." I was sad. She asked why I got sad. I told her
that I was sad because religion had the power to take my wife's life away;
whether by the hand of a terrorist (whatever that is now), or by her own
free will. I am sad that my wife would effectively commit suicide for a lie.
You should tell her how jealous you are of her strength.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
