The Bible declares that Jesus is God

[Rick B]

Religions are just cults that have gained popularity.

Well that is certainly an "extreme belief".

I did do research on this last night. Christianity is the biggest religion and Muslim the second biggest your right.

However Christianity is on the decline especially in Europe. Muslims is the fastest growing religion in contrast and will catch up to Christianity by 2050 or maybe sooner considering the fact that Christianity is on the decline.

The two Faiths that seem to be growing fastest are the Jehovah Witnesses and the Universal Unitarians.

It's amazing.
When Trinitarians on this thread write huge multi paragraph posts in their attempts to prove that the Galilean Handworker Yeshua BarYosef is in fact God, not once are they able to write one sentence from the Gospels where Yeshua (Jesus) actually said 'I am God'. But he often refers to self as 'Son of Man'.

And the more that they write, so the more they write about God as a separate entity to Jesus!

If Jesus is God, why not just ALWAYS refer to Jesus..... why ever again bother to use the word God?

Trinitarians could be Unitarians who just don't realise it?

I’m not following your logic here. Christianity is NOT on the decline. It is expanding, just like Islam. Christianity will continue to increase until we have the full measure of gentiles brought into the church.

Once 2050 is reached, Islam is projected to overtake Christianity as the largest religion in the world. This does not mean Christianity is in “decline” because the number of Christians in 2051 is projected to be even greater than 2050.

Decline is not the rate of growth. If I grew an inch in my 11th year, two in my 12th, and three in my 13th, it does not mean I am in decline if I only grow a half in my 14th. Why? Because there is still growth!

A decline in Christianity will happen only if the projected number of Christians in subsequent years is expected to be less than the number of Christians in prior years, and no model I’ve seen projects anything of the sort.

The body of Christ is alive and well.

As I explained earlier, you are always going to have cultist groups who attack Christians, at least until Christ comes. You should not project the attitude of one group unto the whole of Christianity.

Let me get this straight. Southern Baptists who attack Catholics, Catholics, Non denominational churches Bible churches, Pentecostal churches,Community churches, Holliness churches, theyre all cults?

How you got from my statement regarding cults to your your quizzical restatement regarding Southern Baptists is beyond me Rider.

However, I did find this shocking video of Southern Baptists attacking the homes of Catholics, non denominational churches, Pentecostals, and other Charismatics in their community.
***WARNING*** This video may be disturbing to some readers.

According to Huffington Post which is a Christian newspaper and wiki Christianity is on the decline if you look at the numbers. Infact not only that but I reason for it last night I had never seen.

The article said Christianity is on the decline world over because it is in Europe. The reason is that young adults are not getting married and or having children as much and there are more deaths then births in Europe. IM not sure if that's true but Christianity is on the decline, I've read articles by Christians talking about it.

So even folks from your own religion disagree with you.However I will get the page for it from Wiki for you and post it.

Huff Post is not a Christian site. It's just a secular liberal-leaning news site.

Just hang around, bro. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

 

[DavidFirth]

Everything is happening just like Revelation says it will. It will one day be a capital crime to be a Christian.

OK now I see what's going on. .I just got the actual update for this year of our statistics. I was looking at last years because I didn't know there was a report on this year wow!

Apparently what happened was after Trump got elected, because he's Christian probably some Christians dropped out of church and became Unitarian Universalist. There's been a huge surge all of a sudden due to his election wow!

Its really makes me think. This may shoot Christian church memberships way down as well. I don't care what the Christian churches do I'm just happy for us! Our statistics are ahead of most religions in America go team!!!If I could find a rainbow sticker here I would WOOHOO!

So now your admitting Christianity is on the decline but your directing the attention elsewhere. That's crafty of you.Now its a case of Christians being persecuted and tortured to death in America.

Well in Texas I see Christians persecuting others a lot. Anyways yes its on the decline but it is still the worlds biggest religion and its only a small decline although I don't know the statistics for this year sense Trump has messed it up for Christians. Cheer up!

I got cheered up the day Jesus came into my life. That's not an issue. It is comforting to see Bible prophecy coming true in real time, however.

If "Christians" in Texas are persecuting anyone then I have to wonder what the real story behind it is.

I was completely persecuted after dropping out of the United Pentecostal church by many Baptists out here. Its a long story but if you want I can put up a thread about my sadistic abusive Pentecostal church experience and the way Christians sympathized with it afterwards.

I'm sorry to hear that, really I am. Unfortunately Satan works his followers into the ranks of the churches and corrupts many. Sad, but true.

I know someone who had a similar experience. He still sees a psychiatrist after several years and is quite delusional as a result of the way he was treated by a church. He takes serious meds and he will never again be the "normal" person he was before the experience. I have worked with him in the past. He sometimes gets violent for no reason, sees and hears people who aren't there, etc.

I have found out I am bipolar sense then but I don't think the church caused that I am a sex addict recovering almost 6 months however, though I don't blame the church for it I do think I was attracted to the church because of heir sick sexual practices and my issues were made worse through my church affiliation.

I thought that you were being honest when you said that you do research. You know, that you endeavor to deeply study a subject so as to obtain an objective, comprehensive overview of that particular subject. If you are put off by a detailed explanation of a particular topic so that a full understanding is accomplished (espessially when that response substantiates your opponents position) there's always twitter.

 

[Rick B]

I know. My intention was for him to realize that my response to him (of accusing religions as being just cults) as an "extreme belief" was because "extreme belief" is a definition of a cult. So he is, himself, guilty of being the very same thing he is accusing religions of.
