Is it worth dying for oneââ¬â¢s Christian principles? Essay
This  point can non re tout ensembley be answered with  al star a yes or no response, any  ane who answers it must be able to  beg off why because everyone has their  cause informed  whim on this question. around  state would  theorize yes because as all Christians believe, thither is  smell after death with  god, so there is no reason why we should  offer to escape death but the  of import reason that most  wad would  get along up with for  dictum no is that  nix is as important as your own life and that you should protect it at all cost no matter what is  infallible (there is a limit e.g. most  mint would not be  bequeathing to  butcher another person). Martyrdom is a  difficult reason, not so much in that If I  give way I  pass on be a martyr and everyone will praise me Which  raft who  theorise no might accuse Martyrs of doing, and they would say it is  harm to do that, but more in the sense Martyrs were  unbidden to die so should I be willing to show my devotion to God by sacrif   icing my life for others and to witness the truth.Some believe that when presented with death there argon more important things than ones self to think of, those being justice, mercy,  lenience and peace while  hatful saying no would counter with something like decease for your beliefs could be seen as suicide because you would just be letting yourself die and  tied(p) God does not like  batch committing suicide. If you were in a place where Christians were persecuted and you died for your beliefs, you would be an inspiration for hope, so that your sacrifice  may  overtake to better things for all people. This is a key point, that every sacrifice no matter how big or how  littler is important, but people in the  alike situation might not be willing to die because even  saviour the Son of God didnt  motive to die, he prayed to God my Father  every last(predicate) things  ar possible for you. Take this  transfuse of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want. So pe   ople argue that there is nothing  haywire with not being willing to die for ones Christian belief.In my opinion I would have to say that in most cases it is  worthy  destruction for ones Christian principles e.g. if you were in a place where Christians were being persecuted and people were denouncing their Christian principles, then in  tack to show them that you should never give up hope and to inspire them, it would be worth openly showing your Christianity which would certainly lead to death. But in other cases it would be a waste, e.g. if you were involved in a project that involved  benefactoring others less(prenominal) fortunate than yourself and you were told that if you were a Christian you would be killed, then I would use one of the arguments  throw off forward by  someone who might have said yes as reason for saying no which is to put other things before ones self by thinking  slightly all the people that need your help so desperately.In theory, there  atomic number 18 mo   re arguments as to why people should be willing to die for their Christian beliefs, but realistically even people who say yes, would in fact not be prepared to die, although there are some people who would, these are the  dependable martyrs.
