I think like Deena said, it's more a figure of speech to indicate the depth of his love for these people. Which does pose the question - would we? But knowing Christ, He would never ask us to give up our relationship with Him for another. That says He values & loves the other person more than us and we know from Scripture God has no favourites, He loves us all equally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519774272031467458.post-8244006287314025282007-01-29T15:42:00.000-08:002007-01-29T15:42:00.000-08:00Do I really want to go to hell for someone? No......Do I really want to go to hell for someone? No...but like Deena said would I die for someone If it would save them from going to hell... yes I would gladly standup and give my life for my daughter Debra, if she would just accept God free gift of salvation. <br />ClaudiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519774272031467458.post-41885660955803044442007-01-29T09:53:00.000-08:002007-01-29T09:53:00.000-08:00Wow...I don't know what to think.

What is the value of one life in the eyes of God? Are we to be like Christ? The questions I know the answer too, but refuse to answer for the fear of lost comfort…what tears will be shed in heaven because I refused to leave my place of comfort…life without suffering, without pain, without a soul. <br /><br />SteveSteven Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783032502222658788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519774272031467458.post-49702427141901986302007-01-28T22:21:00.000-08:002007-01-28T22:21:00.000-08:00Honestly, that verse jumped out at me as well. I ...Honestly, that verse jumped out at me as well. I immediately thought of Victoria. I would die if it would bring her back to Jesus, but would I go to hell? That's a huge statement Paul made, and while I believe he was sincere, I wonder if it wasn't what is known (I believe) as hyperbole...exaggeration to make a point...that if we don't love the lost and the wandering that much, then maybe we really don't love them at all.<br />And what are we willing to give up to reach the lost and the wandering? I think that is the better question.Deena Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267100019443842145noreply@blogger.com
