Freedom Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Events that have accord earlier tonight have been detrimental to my future plans and decisions. Are we supposed to rush forward in becoming a martyr for our faith or are we supposed to listen to our survival instinct and avoid death? Just to be clear, I'm [b]not[/b] talking about going against righteous morals in order to stay unharmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But matters of Faith and Morals must never be compromised to avoid martyrdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Normile Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Freedom you most likely will not have to worry about being martyred. You will have a good shot at going to jail for your faith if you do not pay the tax or the fine due to religious reservations over supporting death. I doubt that any will have that resolve, especially among catholics as a majority of catholics once again voted for this man. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 A nation crippled by the culture of death, murdering millions of babies can most certainly and easly rationalize murdering other groups of unwanted people. Handicap people are now being targeted as well. Despite the mocky this may invoke it is not so unbelievable that one day Christians who refuse to bow at the altar of death will be put to death.

Basilisa Marie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 We're never required to be martyrs. Encouraged, yes. Do we praise them? Of course. Do we hope to be like them? Sure. Take each day at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
