Is Christianity in decline?Posted : 10 Dec, 2010 12:31 PMNope, no good news from me. I believe that it's only going to get worse before Jesus comes. There's probably going to be a big war between the Muslims and the Christians. Whoever is left is going to be the ones persecuting God's people. I personally believe the "Christians" are going to be the ones doing the persecuting. They'll either defeat the Muslims, or come to some compromise where Muslims can join into a facet of the "Christian" faith. Whatever happens, the changes they make to the Christian faith to include "everyone" will cause God's people to leave the so-called "christian religion". Then the last day plagues will start to fall, and the so-called "Christians" will blame the "wrath of God" on the true believers that left, saying that if they could only be in "harmony" then the plagues would cease and there would be heaven on earth. They will probably beg/bribe/convince/coerce until it doesn't work any more, then they will remove economic rights, and finally threaten death to anyone that doesn't worship the false religion. The true children of God will probably be like the children of israel in Egypt during the 10 plagues. Possibly affected by them(water turned to blood, etc), but not the target of the plagues. Then Jesus will return, probably soon after the death decree on the true believers goes out from the false christian religion. |

Is Christianity in decline?Posted : 10 Dec, 2010 03:20 PMIt's just my attempts to understand Daniel/Revelation. It isn't going to be a bunch of people that hate God or that worship the sun that are going to be persecuting God's people. It's going to be false prophets, people claiming to be/know Christ, and people that can work false miracles. It's going to be so close to the truth, that even the "very elect" would be deceived if they didn't study their bibles. With that knowledge in mind, what I said makes a lot of sense if you read Daniel/Revelation."Christians" have already heavily persecuted/tortured Christians in the past, I don't see any reason why it can't happen again. History repeats itself, and false doctrines will be even more convincing with Satan calling fire down from heaven and pretending to be Jesus coming again, or an alien with the "truth", or an angel of light with a message from God. I didn't say what I said is a prophecy or "truth", it's just my beliefs/opinions on prophecy that's already in the bible. We aren't just supposed to ignore it or claim it's impossible to understand. God put it there for a reason. |
