Just for those who may not know what the bible says will happen near the end is a “falling away” and that is exactly what is happening now. I hope everyone reading this understands the Jesus is in fact a manifestation of God and is actually the one who created everything. I know its hard to grasp that “he who sees the son sees the father” statement but it is very literal, he is one and the same. Its like trying to comprehend that God has always existed and always will exist, and he is not affected by time and space and he is everywhere all the time. Perhaps when we get to heaven we will be able to grasp such things but our mortal brains are just not equipped to understand such things.
Christianity has, since the destruction of the 2nd temple been in decline (think of the Arab conquests of 3 of the 5 main churches in the 7th century or the Turkish conquests of the 7 churches in revelations in the 11th century or the near conquest of Western Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries)
But it survives and thrives
