When I was still religious, if someone had put a gun to my head and said, "Renounce Christ or I'll put a bullet in your head." I would've taken that bullet because of my fear of betraying Jesus.
It's a good thing that never happened. Haha...
I feel uncomfortable reading things like this.
You don't know what you would do in that situation. Of course, Christians would like believe that we would stand up for Christ, but you'd never know until it actually happen.
And if we said that everyone who denied Christ with their mouths during a period of danger is not a Christian, Peter might have been in trouble.
