They actually are. The can't be overt about it since their lives are at risk in most of the situations.

Will Christianity Die?
- Thread starter Kenny

Yes.. that is the pessimistic view... but was it scriptural? I don't think so.
I think it would be wrong to apply to everyone what was specifically meant for the Apostles. If I read correctly, Jesus was just declaring reality as it is today in many countries. Not always and not everywhere but certainly quite often.
The problem isn't that Christianity made it a tradition as much as it was imposed on them. Do you think they had a choice as they were led to the Colosseum?
Yes, Job is considered the oldest written book. Again, I am not sure God did not care. I don't find that in scriptures.

The revival already happened a long time ago.
Didn't you hear about the Broadway musical "Jesus Christ Superstar"?

It might have depended somewhat on who was in charge, but I could post you the old texts where it was extremely prolonged, because they begged them not to go through with it. Granted, the imperial powers shouldn't have been putting people to death at all for this, but from what I read, I suspect that the martyrs often had a choice.

Christianity began as a human healers teaching.
Medical home visits doctoring.
How you claim miracles is subjective reasoning.
Rome then realised medical science was correct. Were rich corrupt men who chose to order change by medical assistance ...to serve.
Then legal changes.
Pretty basic history.
Had to be rich to bring about change in a rich man's corrupt society.
Yet it was for public services.
Both places now lack the origin human morality to serve the poor family science had hurt corrupted made sick and sacrificed.
Your greedy lying rich man's choices dis spirited liars.
Rich men were taught by mountain Buddhist monks how to apply medical healing by sound resonations
So science built the church building exactly for that cause. Natural therapies.
Voice music incense herbal body oiling after holy water cleansing with aloe healings. Wearing white cloth...medical garb.
Laid on floor mats.
Medical.
False preaching science hadn't existed then.
When brain was heavy star metal poisoned attacked again was when the mad man took over ruling legality falsely.
Also proven historic bad men behaviours. False preaching of science emerged.
Theisms about yourself.
As sciences human practice temple of science technology was machines.
Machines and science own no place in any healing church or temple today.
Human assistance family reunification and no false preaching is however needed.
As the legal shut done and read testimony bible was legal. To only tell the truth sworn oath. On a shut bible.
Mutual equal human the practice we each serve each other in every aspect a families life.
If humans cant realise they all read the same advice. Yet preach a different version causes you all to be wrong.
Then obviously you don't want families reunification. Pretty basic human chosen behaviours.

These are anecdotal claims like many others from diverse and conflicting religions and belief systems. They are only relevant to those that believe in them by faith. As I said before by the evidence it part of the nature of being human to make such claims from diverse and conflicting beliefs.

Certainly they do. Believing in Jesus as a prophet isn't believing in Jesus btw.

The symbols that Christianity consists of may be rearranged or reorganized or mostly disposed of, but the things they point to may still be there. The map may be burned, but the territory remains.

I don't know the answer to the question. However, if it does not die it may become more usable and teachable through the internet and less of a face to face ritual.
If the world becomes more dangerous if it becomes dangerous to go out like it did with the covid we may see more meetings done through the internet than face to face.
If it does die, I don't believe religion will die.
If it dies I think it will be replaced by the Muslim faith because the Muslim religion is becoming so big.

faith in Muhammad won over faith in Jesus in Afghanistan. One fundamentalism is as strong as another.

I don't think Christianity is dying. Its power and influence over society are waning.
Whether or not that means the religion comes to an end is up to the practitioners of the religion, no?
If Christianity comes to an end because it no longer has a privileged position, that'd be pretty disappointing. But I think it will survive its ousting from the throne. It may even become more genuine and honest as a result. I guess we'll see.

So?
Even if I would agree that for as long there are humans, there will be christian believers, so what?
The validity and accuracy of a belief isn't determined by how many people believe it or how long a belief manages to "stay alive" in society.
Do you consider it mentionworthy that hinduism is older then christianity (by 1000s of years) and still followed today?
Yes... exterminating Christian is one way... but it always seems to come back -- the tried it in ancient Rome.
(sincerely)
Although I never said that... you are right. How many people does not equate to validity.
I guess Hinduism will never die too because of the impact of Krishna
Real Life Experiences with Bhagwan Krishna By HariPriya – HariBhakt | History, Facts, Awareness of Hindu Dharma
I am left wondering about the objective of putting the OP in the debate section.
I didn't know where to put it.
But I agree that Hinduism won't die. (Obviously with the caveat of our position on the Millennium)
it will never be a major religion again. it's seen its glory day and as god always does,
matthew 21:43
its been weighed in the balance and found wanting.
its become to traditional and not practical and of service to all.
Will Christianity die?
Where precisely is Christianity? Or even Judaism, Buddhism or Islam? Where precisely are these religions?
Obviously they cannot be clearly identified by the conflicting opposed organisations that claim to speak authoritatively in their name.
As single religions that speak with one voice none of these religions exist today.
