[Carry_Okie]

Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Y'shua was a bit tougher than that. He knew the stakes in life and death and didn't sugar coat it a bit.

[Jeff Head]

No sugar coating...God looketh on the heart. I believe if we deny God before men and that is what is in our heart, we will be held eternally accountable for it. If we are coersed to do so, then I believe God will judge us according to the intents and true feeling of our heart.

God is looking for us to willing come to Him, not to be forced to mouth words at the point of a gun. Such confessions, such testimonials, such conmversions, are meanigless according to His own word.
