Yes -- many of us are Christians (armchair or otherwise) because for a while it might have been almost cool to be one, put a knife to our throats and you might convert us into just about anything.
Deep down do you think Jesus was honored by this man quickly grabbing the Koran and claiming he was following allah and mohammed instead of the true God?
Well said FITZ. Very well said. If I may answer your question to sinkspur from my own perspective, no, I do not feel that Jesus was honored at all.
I know you didn't address your question to me, but I can't resist replying.
Our Father in Heaven would be disappointed of course, but he also will defend us against our enemy in the end. (he is our guide as parents...all Christians sin to the end) The only sin that is unforgivable is the one of non-acceptance..or failure to accept Jesus, and become a child of God.
I have to think the man's status with God is more important than what he professes. Fear is an enemy...and not all believers' faith is strong. Maybe he was still a babe in Christ..and hadn't learned enough about martyrdom yet?
Jesus asked His Father to "take this cup away from me," on the eve of His Death.
I'm sure He understood.
