So my girlfriend and some friends of ours were just watching a horror movie, and the conversation led to would you die for your partner, and I honestly spoke out and said, if it came down to one of us must die, I would without thinking have it be her. Of course she got mad and her ditsy cheerleading friends were all like: "That's all like the like most ultimate test of true love, if you love your partner truly you would die for them" which led to me saying I wouldn even die for my wife. My children, thats a different story. But then they like crossed the line when they argued that they would rather die over anyone in the situation (for example) if a murderer said one of you must die, the other one gets to walk away. I say, being alive over guilt any day. Selfish? ... maybe, but still better than dead. What is your possition on the issue?

Okay. You said she was your girlfriend and talked about her cheerleader friends. From that I imply that you are fairly young and not very committed to each other. Therefore, I feel you are justified in your choice. However, in the future, always say you'd die for your girlfriend, if for no other reason than to make her feel good!
If you loved your partner truly, you wouldn't want them to die. They also wouldn't want YOU to die. So it would most likely end up in a big argument over who died.
There are only two people on this planet that I can say without a doubt I would die for and they are my children!

Jesus said, "no greater love has any man than he lay down his life for a friend." Policemen do it everyday. Soldiers do it everyday. Firemen do it everyday. Heros do it everyday. Coast Guard does it everyday.
In Trusting the Lord, I have no fear of death. It is that peace that surpasses all understanding and that is knowing when you die you will be with the Lord.
One of these days you will fall in love with a girl and have children.
You will find out real quick how special these people can be to you. If you don't, then it is possible that you are selfish, self-centered and unable to love.
Knowing Jesus, it becomes easier to die for family or friends. Be very thankful that we have Christ loving people in this world. It makes for a better world.

There are alot of variables in that question,
I think the other persons station in life would need to be addressed versus mine, I'm raising 3 kids. I'm not going to die for some 80 year old man for sure..sad as it may be that he has to go, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but I have people who need me and are expecting me to be around a little longer.
Also, I think the pain of the death need's to be addressed..is it quick or long and drawn out. But for me personally
I WOULD DIE FOR MY KIDS AND MY HUBBY AND THAT'S ABOUT IT!!
When my kids are all grown up and don't need me anymore, then it's a different story. Then I guess I would die for my kids spouses and my grandkids. Or women who had little ones at home.

Well, I wouldn't want anyone to be killed that I loved. I would try do everything possible so everyone would survive. Then if it came down to it, I guess I would die. I wouldn't want the haunting picture played in my mind for the rest of my life. The grrief to add to that.
As for a stranger they'd be on their own. I'd still try to help them out, but, if it came to my life or theirs it would be theirs.

ailment and dying are nonetheless very lots a factor of our lives. in basic terms approximately each and every family contributors i comprehend has had a broom with maximum cancers - and dropping an toddler, mutually as particularly uncommon in the present day in the Western international, become very lots a par for the path in basic terms 3-4 generations in the past. anybody is resilient, and generally they stay to inform the tale losses and bypass on. What else are you able to do? I doubt we would stay to inform the tale as a species if each and every family contributors dying had a skill to plunge us into insanity.

I believe if you are meant to die it doesn't matter what is happening, when it is your time, it's your time! I would protect my children no matter what, I would stand up for my husband and family no matter what, I would stand up for any child. As far as one or the other, I would pray and leave it in Gods hands.

Who would you live for? That's much harder, really.
