Not probably. It will.

But will it survive the amorality of the Evangelical Right? That will be Christianity's biggest challenge yet~+!

The tares will be removed one way or another.
The wheat will be harvested.

Thank You, the point in asking the question..

As it has sustained all ever thrown at it, it will continue to flourish, regardless....


Christianity has thrived on persecution. The more the Romans tried to stamp the religion out, the more it grew. It does not do as well during prosperity. We are more prosperous than ever in spite of Democrats best efforts, yet Apathy is Christianity's worst enemy. All Churches in America are struggling. The Churches have mostly old people in them. As those are dying off, so are the Churches.

Most churches and their pastors are very poor in teaching the Word.
The pew sitters come out as ignorant of the word as they did when arriving.
Locate Shepherd's Chapple in Gravette, Arkansas on cable or the internet.
A great teaching ministry.

Or simply outline how one would go about doing it, and I'll do the work myself...

Neither of your examples was proving a negative...

You let people influence you WAY too much.

Part of the problem is getting young mothers to bring their kids to church. For awhile the low birthrate was the problem. Now more babies are being born, but the mothers are still not coming to church.

True, yet Churches also see the need to become more “ present day” in its teachings ad it is the younger generation that needs to become a part.. This is where we have faltered...

Parents working, not home leaving children to raise themselves in many ways if they aren’t taught how can they know if they even want religion a part of their lives..
weekends spent doing chores and cleaning the home etc come Sunday they just want to be at home...

We weren’t given an option Sunday was the day, you attended Church, came home and then allowed to go play..A foundation started, yet even in my home as we got to say 12 years old we had a choice to attend or not...It was a nice change going because you wanted to instead of required..Holidays were always started with the real reason they were celebrated, many a Sunday dinner s discussion about what was preached in Church etc..

Regardless through my personal faith I know the attack is in motion yet will not succeed..
