What's happening: the ISIS ultimatum - pay, flee, or convert

  • If ISIS gave you three days - give up Christ, leave, or pay a fine - what do you do?

Dan lays out ISIS's persecution of Christians (convert, pay a fine, or die; three-day ultimatums) and asks what the panel would do if it happened here. Mike (addressed by name) picks B, run - he doesn't want to fund them; Boova moves from A to B for the same reason; Dan wouldn't trust them either. Ben's answer: the right answer is to do what God has him doing - his instinct is to run, but dying there is 'not off the table' if God calls for it, citing 'be warned, brothers, we are not to be like those who have no hope' (1 Thess 4:13). Eric agrees with Ben: B is the clear answer unless God directly says otherwise - option A means living as a second-class citizen they can bleed dry.
