"Do I have the strength to proclaim my faith and NOT deny Christ?"
MineralMan: "Oh, I suspect these guys weren't really converted, don't you? It's what's in your mind that counts, not lies told to captors, I'd guess."
Bzzzt! Wrong Answer!
Speaking of things you profess to know nothing about, let alone personally know? I'll help you...
Matthew 10:31-33 (King James Version)
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
MineralMan must be a MUSLIM ;-)
Islam allows one to deny or lie about his faith in order to escape an enemy in a dogma and act the Shi'a call Al-Taqiyyah and which the Sunnis deny even exists even though it's in the Koran:
KORAN [16.106] He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.

If you are going to write about me in a Free Republic thread, please do me the courtesy of adding my name to the To: field. That is just good manners.
I am not a Muslim. I am an atheist.
