Yes, well the pessimistic version's interpretation of that, would have been that people either no longer deserve that, or that it is describing an after-life state, in heaven.
And how does the book of John end? Where is Jesus leading his follower? He is leading them to suffer somehow
Yeah, and early christianity made a whole tradition of that. Martyrdom seems to be what spread the religion, early on. I think they even saved the bones of these people, to inspire others. But why? Didn't Jesus already sacrifice himself? And wouldn't it have been better, if the 'righteous' polycarp had kept living, and teaching. Couldn't they just lie about their fealty to empire, as paul might say that you can do with food for idols?
Job does seem like a significantly older, and different tradition to certain Christian models. In early Christianity, god did not care if you were an anchorite or a stylite, and thus you would never have any material gain of any kind.
I don't think it will entirely die out
I believe its cycle of decline will eventually level off
And it will just shrink to a much smaller size rather than die out
Unless of course some kind of revival happens
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?
Thank you.
But, as the post relates, is it really not relevant? When a 16 year old comes to our church married to drug addict/pusher who had a moment with a gun that still had two bullets and said, "If this is life, I will kill my child and myself (being pregnant)" and now is remarried to a Christian, being sent all over the US by Harris Corp., do you think it was because the message and its power wasn't relevant?
Certainly they do. Believing in Jesus as a prophet isn't believing in Jesus btw.Muslims do not generally 'become Christians' since they already believe in Jesus, and also in Muhammad, but sometimes Christians become Muslims since they already believe both Jesus and later they come to believe in Muhammad.
faith in Muhammad won over faith in Jesus in Afghanistan. One fundamentalism is as strong as another.No.

I enjoyed that answer (sincerely)Pessimistic.
Yes, it will die! Think positive!
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.
I guess Hinduism will never die too because of the impact of KrishnaNo.

I am left wondering about the objective of putting the OP in the debate section.
it will never be a major religion again. it's seen its glory day and as god always does,Yes... exterminating Christian is one way... but it always seems to come back -- the tried it in ancient Rome.
