Stealth Christians
Sprucegoose has something to say about the Gospel of Truth:
"Truth, by definition, cannot, once obtained, be compromised. It is truth not opinion. It is God who establishes truth, not journalists or scientists. Truth and wisdom are precious and should not be yielded cheaply or lightly. What light you have should be worth dying for or you really have no light at all."
I agree, somewhat. But let us not forget that we are weak vessels and the eternal truth of the Gospel will survive regardless of our personal strength or frailty.
Is the light of the Gospel worth dying for? Yes. However, it is a hard thing to know if one would be capable of dying for something. Certainly Peter thought he would stand a Christ's side until death, but was unable to carry this out. Did Peter have no light at all? Elijah ran from Jezebel for fear of death, was he filled with only darkness?
