Sadly, I think the only God-pleasing option for those in that situation is to maintain their Christianity....and die.

It absolutely is the only option. If we deny Him, He will deny us before the Father. Those in the US have been insulated for the most part from such an extreme choice such as this. The event pictured was originally posted by those wielding the weapons as a warning and a promise to the world that don't want to *risk* dieing this way to convert to Islam. We are witnessing increased terroristic attacks like this in many places around the world. Even in the US, anti Christian sentiment is ramping up. Street preachers are being attacked and killed. Churches, Synagogues, and other places of worship are increasingly becoming the targets of the unhinged. Stay strong.😌☝️🙏

A man named Saul entered into history as one demanding renunciation.
His mortal life was ended when he refused to renounce his faith, his trust in Jesus.

This is just wrong

It is, indeed, wrong. Jesus promised His followers we would be hated and persecuted because He was hated first. For thousands of years this has been the experience of many followers of Jesus. It will continue and get worse as we approach Jesus' return.

No, I am saying it is bad beacuse people have a right to practice whatever religion they want. If people get killed over what religion they practice then the people executing them are in the wrong

I agree. I wouldn't kill a Muslim for praying. Similarly, I wouldn't kill a Bhuddist, a descendant of Israel, those that promote humanism, or any of the other multiple religions, beliefs or lack thereof. Please understand that I wish no harm in this life upon anyone, save perhaps for those individuals that would harm others with, for example, committing SA on others. I do not wish eternal punishment, in our next life on any living soul. Each of us are subject to this punishment, this separation from our Creator for all eternity. For those that do not believe in what the world calls an "afterlife", one might be of the opinion that all "religion" is equivalent to fairytales. Each group of believers make truth claims. Islam claims that only their truth claims are true. Christianity also claims to be the only path. Most religions make similar claims. Different conflicting truths cannot all be true. Those that follow Jesus are currently being killed in many places around the world. Christianity is in the minority as a protected group. China is attempting to eliminate them from among their people. In Nigeria, they are being beheaded or locked in churches and then those churches are burned to the ground. In the US, churches and churchgoers are being targeted for assassination. Jesus has been mentioned by most religions as a prophet, a fine teacher, or as one of that religions adherents. Why? Because He is the most influential beings in the known history of the world. He claims within the pages of His word that He is the only way back to God. A large reason IMO for the targeting of Christians.

could ihave a tl;dr

Complex thoughts sometimes require more than just a sentence, but nuance can be worth the effort.👍
