Oh yes, Christianity has a marvelous future. It’s the church that’s in trouble.

It is in the West’s best interest for a comeback. No society is ascending when Islam grows. It’s an historical certainty.

If the Truth and the search for it doesn’t have a future on Earth, what hope is their for mankind.

Southern part of the world is where the Christian faith is growing and steady.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Matt6:24

It’s why God hates self-sufficiency. When we lose our sense of need for Him, we tend to break off the relationship.

(Revelation 21:3)
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Yep.

The West is becoming irrelevant, having squandered its opportunity to make good use of its fabulous natural wealth and freedom. If the Lord tarries, I expect the center of attention to return to the global South and East.

Islam is “surging” because of colonization/immigration and “blame the man” black separatist Nation Of Islam culture in prisons. 2/3 of muslims in America are first generation immigrants.

Way to go, Daily Puke. AntiChristian atheist cheerleaders for Islmaic theocracy. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Anyone asking such a question really doesn’t understand Christianity or know what it is about.

God says there will ALWAYS be a remnant.

By 2050, 4 out of every 10 Christians will live in sub-Saharan Africa.

Not if the Islamonazi genocide of non-muslims continues there.

Make that the apostate church. Christians are the only ones that have a “Future” since I wouldn’t consider the lake of fire much of one. Jesus asked if He would find faith on the earth when He returned.

Perhaps the Catholics have it right on birth control! We are depopulating ourselves out of existence!

I am a Christian and I have been telling people for some time that there’s a good chance that Christianity will not survive without the Lord’s active involvement to alter the course of mankind. You have a major religion that actively pursues the destruction of another and the other pursues an approach of turn the other cheek and only focuses on the good in people. Without a Nation led by a Christian we have no resolve to fight for our beliefs beyond words.

I don’t think you have to worry about that, Candida.

Of course! What need have the wealthy for a “savior”?

It is only the sick who require a physician...

That’s one of the blessings given by the priest on Ash Wednesday.

"There is good news for Hindu and Jewish populations.

Well… Jewish populations is Israel and among conservative Jews. Liberal Jews are fading fast, and manage to exist only because a subset of conservative Jews lose some of their kids to liberalism. Birth rate for liberal Jews is very very low. Nowhere close to maintenance level.
