John The Baptist (I mean the forummer, not the cousin of Jesus Laughing ) wrote that in the "Calvinism or Arminianism" topic.

A quick show of hands .. how many of you are willing to do that? Be honest.

John The Baptist SG

Thanks for the funny name. Yes i am John the Baptist aka forerunner or according to u forummer. Whatever the case, do u mean u r willing yourself to die for Jesus? Smile If u show your hands up, i might consider showing mine also & many might just follow us when they see our courage & faith in the face of death. Maybe i m a S'porean so a bit kiasi & kiasu lah. Someone has to risk his or her neck first b4 others will follow. Laughing

Someone has to take the lead and he/she is faith stronger than others.

stellazio SG

I will cause there is nth to hide,and since you're dying why still bother..Just confess.. Laughing

breytonhartge SG

Yes I will.

Ray2 SG

suicide bomber? Shocked

breytonhartge SG

No way a suicide bomber... if you commit suicide, you actually go to hell and not heaven, a martyr in the sense that I will not renounce my belief in Jesus even if it means that I will have to die for it.

But I do not want to be a matyr, I can accomplish much more alive thank you very much!!!!!

We can’t say for sure until the time comes.

laurence82 SG

So if not suicide bombing, will u kill non christians?

dont take the route of the islamic fundamentallists,the world is troubled as it is already...

SingaporeMacross SG

thou shall not kill

laurence82 SG

what if someone interpret the bible as to mean he is allowed to kill?

will u as a christian, stop him?

breytonhartge SG

be like peter then huh? Mr. Green

John The Baptist SG

Yes, i will as a Christian stop him & arrest him. Christian can be police officers u know & upright ones at that. Anyway, only a mad man will interpret the bible to mean he is allowed to kill or he is suffering from schizophrenia or depression. I recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist to him & pls kindly ask him to take medication or he will relapse again. Until he is strong in faith again & free from schizo or depression, then he can read the bible properly. Smile

John The Baptist SG

Since the moderator has taken the lead as well as a few others, I also show my hand lah. Brothers in Christ, brothers at arms & brothers in martyrdom. BTW, i am not Guan Gong. Smile

John The Baptist SG

Who knows brother that by being martyr even much more can be accomplished?

John The Baptist SG

Where did u get the idea of Christian martyr being suicide bomber? It's wrong to bomb ppl & bomb yourself as well. As i said, they are crazy! & a mad man will come claiming he is Jesus Christ the 2nd. I pray that the world would see b4 too late.

breytonhartge SG

That one I leave for our Lord to decide. My life is in His hands. Everything I am, I have are all His. Very Happy

M©+square SG

Easy to say....for now.

happyharvest SG

I understand that there are some views on whether or not if someone commit suicide, he/she will go to hell or not.

I read this Q&A and am convinced that christian who commit suicide will not go to hell.

Many people make the mistake of believing the Bible says, You shall not kill. However, the Bible actually says, You shall not murder (Exo 20:13). The Hebrew word literally means the intentional, premeditated killing of another person. God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1Sam 15:3; Josh 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exo 21:12; 21:15; 22:19; Lev 20:11). So, God is not against killing, but rather only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Rom 3:10-18 ), war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm is by going to war with them.
