I'd say HELL YEAH...at least i would die a believer...they could burn in hell for all i care but ain't nobody stopping me from believing...if i reject God He will reject me at the gates of Heaven and i don't know when I'm gonna die so if i rejected Him then and there and that man still killed me what would happen then...this question was much too easy...

If I really believed the person, I'd answer no, then when the gun was gone I'd call the cops, have the guy arrested, and laugh at him for believing me. What you say and what you mean are not always the same thing. You can do a lot more for God alive than you can dead. What about your family? Is leaving them to fend for themselves doing God's work?
Truth is, however, that this is a b.s. question. It won't happen, and the reality is that it doesn't matter what you answer if it did. You can say YES and be spared. You can say NO and be killed. It really doesn't prove a thing about your faith. Do what you have to do to survive, and then be thankful for the life you have been granted and live that life as closely to Christ's example as you can. I simply don't believe that God is so irrational or obtuse that he would put you in a situation where what you say means nothing.
And here is another thought, assuming the situation was real: if God is all-forgiving, you could lie, live, and then repent and ask for forgiveness, AND live the rest of your life as best you can. Win-win situation. Isn't that what Christianity is all about?

How easy it is to yes to a hypothetical situation, but under a real circumstance, how do you know how you will react? And let's test it even more, put a gun to a loved ones head, and ask the same question, with the same consequece.. How do you answer then?

It would be retarded to say yes unless you have a deathwish. I believe that God gave you free will. And if it means saving your own a** it is okay to do what you need to do. God is not with you 24/7 if he was there would not be so much suffering in the world.

If a gun is to my head i'm gonna tell you what ever you want to hear. If you want me to say that i like to lite babies on fire and throw them at on coming cars not only will i repeat it i'd do it with a over a loud speaker. Hell i'd ever wear a matching shirt just as long as you don't splatter my brains all over the wall behind me.

What an honor to be chosen to die for the Lord! I pray I'd have the strength to stay faithful. It's easy to *say* I'd stand up for God even unto death, but I pray I'd really have the faith and strength to do it.

We should love Allah because he has created us and ofcourse he can make us anytime death. This is not our permanent life. God say that you should say truth.We all muslim belived in the Day of judgement, on Allah and all his messanger. We should not afraid of death. If we say no so, any other time we have to die so, it is better to say truth and give your life in way of Allah. If you do good deeds in your life so you wiil get paradise and there will be all the things you need.I cannot define you.
Dont make friendship with boys, pray five times daily, read quran, understand it and learn it, obey your parents and help poor and needy people.
Be a good Muslim and get paradise.

Yes
edit:... I can think that there would be circumstances where the welfare of others might make it necessary for me to say no... I would know that God would understand in that case.
