Dying for your beliefs makes you a martyr and gives you a place in Heaven. What about if you allow someone else to die because of your beliefs? What does that make you?

Good question mate!
I... don't know if I would, honestly. I'm not religious but I am spiritual, and if I lost that part of my life... It sounds terrible but it depends on who the person was. I'd save anyone I knew in a shot, but a stranger?
Feel guilty saying this so I'm gonna stop!

- ACTUALLY, the main part of my religion is morals and the rest is science and optimism, so I would have to say yes. It would be the right thing to do, and since I claim to care about morals I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't denounce my beliefs for them.

No, I would never denounce my believes. I love God more than anything else. I would keep this believe even if it meant that my own family would die. It makes me human and someone who is devoted to the Lord. I can't change what my believes are according to this situation anyways. Would you accept Jesus if it could save the life of another person?

No, if someone tells me, that each and every individual I even ought to do is denounce God to shop a existence, i will tell them that I refuse to lie. i rather couldn't provide a rats a$$ what you imagine about me. As for the unforgivable sin, nicely, you're given your individual threat to settle for or reject, your issue in case you reject. you may't have each and every thing your way slick you comprehend, until eventually very last evening, I did appreciate almost anybody, yet at the same time as people all started making exciting of Debra, I lost all appreciate for you adult men.

Honestly, who can know exactly how one is going to need to behave in such a circumstance?
As with all things, context and motive are everything. Are you doing what you are doing for love (in the agape sense) of someone you want to save? Are you doing it out of personal fear?
Who can know what one is called to do in any given circumstance?
This is the problem with fantasy questions along the lines of 'what would you do if aliens came down in a spaceship and ordered you at lightsaber-point to eat pork?' Fantasy questions are invariably missing the human element of context and heart, since the asker is typically more invested in corralling answers into the desired result...

To save someone I would absolutley denounce my Paganism. I would do whatever I could to help someone live.
I'm shocked at the amount of people who said they wouldn't. The funniest part is that Jesus would probably be disgusted with those that could just let someone die when they could've stopped it.

Not sure what it would make me but I would not denounce God. Besides if the other person is also saved and going to Heaven it is like the saying goes "Instant death, Instant glory"!

Yes, I would denounce my Pagan beliefs so that another may live.
I wouldn't allow someone else to die because of my beliefs... not in the sense you are putting it here. (People in military fighting for "Freedom" do so by their own choice...... so I view this as different...) As for what it would make me... chickenshit is what it would make me.

Your question is very broad and open leving a lot unanswerable from a biblical stand point, but be sure of this if you do as the Bible teaches and allow God to work his Spirit in your life and you done all that is scriptually required of you, God nows your limitations and he will remember you.

I guess it would be easier for me to turn my back on my beliefs for another person, but I guess I am selfish in that it would have to be a family member, close friend, or child.
I'm an Atheist, but I do feel very strongly about my beliefs. If someone held a gun up to someone, say, my best friend and said, "Say there is a god, or I will kill her," I would say it in a heartbeat.
It doesn't matter much anyways...I don't believe lying is wrong when it's in the right context...as long as I know the truth...there is no god.

In my relationship with Christ dying for my beliefs does not give me a place in heaven but believing that Christ died as a substitute for me does.
