im ready to die for my Savior Jesus, removed from this world is nothing but gain, tortured? for a finite time determined by none other than Jesus Himself, but it's a finite time, not like eternity in hell, physical pain while infilled by the Holy Spirit is most tolerable, there are books written, Foxes Book of Martyrs comes to mind, they sung hymns while their feet were being roasted off in a fire, sometimes Jesus comes down and takes your pain, He actually lifts it from you and bears it for a time, you get respite, even if your torturers don't let you sleep, and give you grievous pain so you can't, even if they make you loose your mind, Jesus takes you to His Private Pavilion. then there are the great slayers King David, Samson, if it were to be ever put into my hands i would most surely pound a tent stake through a head after lulling them to sleep with milk, give me the jawbone of an ass and let me rip, but vengeance is not mine, it is God's and Jesus will reap in due time, and who can do it better, me or God the Son who knows where your goat is tied, lol, me worry and fear or rage like a heathen much?
