I would never renounce Jesus as my personal lord an savior period. I am by no means a bible thumper my last real Church session was the morning of the Viking game in St Louis Cathedral in a Saints jersey( all the priest and Bishop wore theirs too!!!!). But what kind of person would renounce his god to save his own skin. Jesus did not renounce and took the cross, led by example so to speak I guess. Judas was condemned for renouncing him, etc, etc, etc...It is real clear in the good book, if you renounce him to save your skin you burn. I know I may burn as a sinner but it ain't gonna be for renouncing Jesus...
