Would You Step on a Land Mine for Jesus?
I am often engaged in subway train discussions with unbelievers, usually brought on by hecklers trying to dissuade me from preaching on the train from South Ferry to 42nd St. (I find this train is more conducive to ministry than say, the F train. Not sure why.)
Today someone calling himself a veteran of Iraqi deployment yelled out "Hey, buddy! Would you step on a landmine if Jesus told you to? Where would your faith be then?" While I gingerly ignored his question by taking one from a more desirable person (who asked how he can know that God loves him), it made me think. First, it would be unthinkable that my Savior would ask me to do such a thing. But if indeed He did ask, particularly if it were for the glory of God, I would not hesitate. His Hand of Protection would cover me and I would not be injured (surely) or an angel would lay down on the mine and keep me from harm (wouldn't it?). What are your thoughts? Was it just a stupid question? And if so, am I being stupid for asking? |

Brother Larry, the only reason Jesus would command you to step on a landmine is because He wants you to join Him in Heaven. I notice that this Godmocking veteran has never stepped on a landmine either, the coward! He's probably miffed that the Army kicked out trannies and figures that queers are next. I will pray to God that He protects you on your righteous sojourns underground, riding that train on the roof of Hell.

That's awful, Brother Larry! Of course you did nothing wrong. As Christians, we are persecuted all the time, but remember:

I would happily step in to the landmine as long as I'm sure it was Jesus and not one of those demons interfering with my mind. |

I'd would do anything Jesus asked me to do, without a moments hesitation. Zero thought, just act, like a wolverine ripping the flesh of a rabbit.
Gods tells us that is we are truly committed to Him, that we we have blind faith in His commands. To doubt or question it, is to doubt Him. I do not need to to know the why. I know if He wants it, he will also guide me. If it is His desire to have me blown into 1,000 pieces, I welcome it. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea |

As a Pastor , My words are His words. So when I tell one of you to do something, you had better do it if you want a chance at Eternal Salvation® at the feet of God. A True Test™ is stepping on a land mine and it not blowing up. That proves God Loves you. Obviously, not many gooks are loved by Jesus. |

Revelation 20:10-15: 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Sincerely, Isabella W. :repent: |

I'm legitimately scared for my life right now, but at least we are blessed by his persecution of us (Matthew 5:11-12). Oh, and Crazy Joe? Even if you do kill us, we'll have the last laugh as we watch your eternal torment from Heaven with Jesus. |

If Jesus Christ or Donald Trump told me to step on a land mine, I would have faith that my lost foot,/lower leg/whole leg/lower torso or whatever might be left will be redeemed and made a new in Heaven.
Remember that God told Abraham to slit his own son's throat and burn his body and Abraham was totally onboard with God's command. Of course, God let Abraham off the hook at the last second, so I would like to think that God would do something about the land mine just before my foot made contact. |
