[Sopater]

I’m willing to bet, that lots of people have died for what they knew wasn’t true or at least didn’t know for sure.

Didn't know for sure? Absolutely, that's faith.

Knew to be a lie or untrue? Only if they felt that they were protecting someone I'd imagine. However, for all of the apostles (except John) to be martyred without renouncing makes it very near impossible for me to believe that they knew it not to be true.

Well, I certainly wouldn’t want to second-guess a saint.
