Since Almighty God is all-knowing, & all-seeing of the past, present, and the future...of course He knows every single thought, action, and deed or the lack of them in each person.
Heck, God says the hairs on our head are numbered and He knows if one falls or is yanked out...so I think it is VERY safe to assume He knows everything else about us, don't you?
To answer your questionaire.
It would not be (A) because I know I can NEVER save myself.
It would not be (B) because I know I can NOT save my loved ones.
It would not be (C) because no one person can prevent a global war, but for Almighty God and Jesus Christ.
It would not be (D) because I can not divert a comet or big bang or whatever, only Almighty God & Jesus Christ can do that.
It WOULD be (E) because I know that by NOT denying Almighty God, through Him all of the above CAN be achieved. Without Almighty God nothing positive & lasting can EVER be done.

Those examples are too far out. How cold my denying God prevent global war? Or even more unlikey, prevent a comet strike? Will the comet change course when I say "I don't believe in God"? Anyway, I would never deny God. Ever. And God knows everything, inclucing who has answered this question.

I dont' get d.. I mean how would a comet know if you believed in God? C is pretty egotistical, unless you mean everyone decides to become Moslem so that the war stops.(We are afterall infidels in their eyes and shouldn't be alive).
Denying God is about the stupidest thing any so-called Christian can do but there will be the wishy washy types that will agree or disagree about anything to save themselves or loved ones, I think they called them traitors in WW2.
I will opt for E.. He has prepared a place for me in Eternity and to say I don't love Him would be a lie.

If god exists, it knows when I am sleeping. It knows when I'm awake. It knows when I've been . . . .
Anyway, I don't deny god so much as I just don't consider god relevant to my life. I've gotten this far without it. So, with that in mind, I'd say A, B, C, and D.

God has asked us to put him first. when we do that things actually get to be flowing rather well. However being a Christian does not mean we will not have trials or tribulations, contrary we will suffer greater trials and tribulations.
I would never deny God or Jesus, to die is to be with God and Jesus, every Christians desire. our family, loved ones already know this. God is not going to let global war happen because I died. Therefore your question does not make sense to me as a Christian.

What use is God if a person would even need to consider this kind of faith-based blackmail?
Why would anyone want to worship an entity that would be willing to allow a devotee's loved ones to die in order to prove said follower's devotion, as the bible says happened to Job?
I just don't understand it.

Are you the one who writes all those threatening chain letters with the pictures of cute puppies, with the caption that reads "This puppy will die unless you send this on to 5 other people."?
If so, I just want you to know you're welcome to come on over to my house, have some apple pie and coffee, and then I get too slap you upside the head 27 times. Publicly.

I'd like to think it's E. I hope the truth is never known. I would be most likely to cave for A or B, like if my family was being tortured or something like that.

Heck, I deny God for argument's sake on a daily basis. Sometimes I think I pay others so that I get to deny God's existence.
