Christians will be a minority in the US by 2045, if nothing changes. Most people won't belong to any religion.

No surprise. The people have been duped and the results are growing at a fast rate.

No mention of America in the Bible during end times

Think - Sodom and Gomorah ( Democrats )

I had a fascinating conversation the other day with a buddy of mine about Revelations. Since, I have started to reread it. It's awesome and in my laymen eyes I see how things are lining up towards bringing the book of Revelations into fruition.

I think it would be cool to have a thread and discussion on Revelations.

Oh and, hi Keith.

Hi Jeff.

I wonder with these fires, droughts, and floods if the Lord isn't angry with us.

Christian values are seen a negative now but the world is getting uglier everyday, today if you think full term abortion is evil your considered a extremist by many standards how crazy is that?

I think the trend away from the church, civic clubs, social clubs, fraternal organizations, etc began about 40 years ago. We as a people do not live and work in the same community all our lives, as our parents did. Consequently, fewer people get involved because they don't feel a sense of permanence. We go through life as newcomers rather than veterans. It also shows up in local politics, school boards, and other community groups. We no longer have the most qualified people leading our communities. People are not as apt to volunteer their time and money. People no longer feel ownership in their communities because we and our friends are just passing through, always looking for something better. Many people do not feel a sense of loyalty to any organization, or to their employer. Families are much more divided. Divorce is about 50% now.

Politics is also dividing us as a people, in so many ways. Hatred is everywhere you look.

I'd enjoy the conversation as well. The book title is singular...Revelation.

They are embracing age-old paganism whether they know it or not:

It is an attack on western civilization, which includes Christianity. See pagan article above.

As for abortion it is consistent with deliberate child sacrifice through time:

Are they including the wave of immigrants coming across the southern boarder? Lots of Christens I’m guessing. Could backfire on the left. That would be a hoot!

They’re Catholic not Christians.

Catholicism is largest of the three major branches of Christianity?

lol

Daniel is a good study for end times material

Abraham pleaded with God to spare Sodom and he had to keep whittling down the numbers because he knew Sodom was such a wicked place. I don't know what tips the scales and brings on God's judgment. Biden could be an appointed scourge.

I think about this a lot, and I agree, but view it somewhat as an over-correction of a the opposite problem in the mid-20th century. I think in that culture, lots of people attended church because they felt a social obligation to be there, not to seek fellowship in Jesus Christ and expand one's knowledge of God's word. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have those people in church than at home in hopes that each Sunday is the one where it "clicks". However, it systematically overstated just how "Christian" a community truly was. The path of least resistance was to join the local church and attend fairly regularly. Today, we have the problem where you have to overcome social stigma to attend. Today's problem is much worse, but we shouldn't pretend that it was perfect a couple of generations ago.

*My experience is from small town churches, but I'm guessing the trend carries over to more populated areas, as well as into other faiths.

I don't feel that Christianity will be a minority in 20 some years. Yes the Christianity that many have known or want may be different but I doubt we will move from a Christian nation as rapidly as many feel. People will and are finding new alternatives and ways to maintain their Christian faith without doing things the way they were a generation or more ago. Now many will claim that, that will be some sort of watered down Christianity and it may well be but people will find ways to serve and worship where they feel welcomed and accepted instead of jeered at and belittled. Many pastors are fully aware of these social and cultural changes and are developing ways to reach and serve. For those of us with more church history we measure things from what we know and prefer. Fellowship with people with common beliefs has been a strong aspect of our faith journey. There are many that can find and celebrate their Christianity using other forms or ministry and fellowship. The citizens of the USA have been losing faith in all institutions, including our governments, be they local or federal and the church is inclluded in the loss of faith in institutions as well.
