My Video Blog/Vlog- "Has Christianity Been Abandoned?" Let's talk about it....
More now than ever before, there is a growing number of individuals who have departed from the Christian faith. As a Christian, I wanted to know why this has been the case and if we can draw any conclusions from it.
I believe you will find this video/blog to be fair and paint of picture of the current situations that few Christians might dare not discuss.
I welcome your thoughts and would encourage a respectful and open dialog on this most intriguing topic. Please watch my video and don't forget to upvote and resteem! I sincerely thank you for your support and welcome you to follow me, as well!
Have a great day! :)
I think they'll find that as Christianity declines, civilization will as well. The people leaving are missing large parts of the knowledge that is Christianity. What they are leaving is churchianity, which is not the same thing. Dominance hierarchy should not have a place in Christianity, except as the natural parent/child relationship. Christianity has become corrupted by globalist memes of unity amongst religions.
Good point about the "Churchianity" element in all of this. I think that we must not forget that Church and Christianity are not necessarily one in the same. Jesus said that we as Christians are His church and not just some building or religious order.
While community is useful and supportive, if it is not fellowship in Christ, it is not Christianity, but some sort of club or tribe. The individual, every individual, and their own, personal relationship with Christ, is the important part. The fellowship is the sharing of the personal with siblings in Christ.
@lifeworship
Yes, you're right! It's more than just a club or a community... It's about a personal experience and a closer walk with Christ.
Well like all families you only get the relationship when you follow the rules(religion). Once the masses rejected the religion the relationship become a lie. Consider the following most called Christians have denied Jesus his mother(Mary) his friends(the saints) and his representative(the pope). At least that's my observation.
Hi i even posted a small blog about this. https://steemit.com/christianity/@masaa/judith-beheads-holofernes

Though I may not agree with all of your observations, I do thank you for your personal insights on this very important subject! :)
I think it is a sign of the end days and it will become worse. I am following you, please follow me for christian content.
@hope777
Amen! I agree with you about the signs of the times! Following you.
Sadly this has been eroded on purpose because you can't have a more socialist society with something larger than the state to challenge that authority. Public Schools, the media, and politicians have made people think twice before standing up for their faith.
@natevegas
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us! I agree with much of what you said. I believe that there needs to be an atmosphere of liberty where free expression of your faith is not only allowed, but encouraged, as well!
Thanks so much for your thoughts!
Thanks for the vid. My family does not go to church, but are very strong in the faith. Church attendance doesn't always reflect the faithfulness of the masses.
You're welcome, @ironshield
You're right about church attendance... It's not what makes you a Christian... it's about your faith in the Lord and your personal walk.
I believe the day is coming when all true believers will be practicing in underground home churches Public churches will be government controlled someday. Progressive humanism will trample upon those who have the faith of Messiah and obey the will of God, but no man can stop what God has started.
Very powerfully said! I appreciate your thoughts on this issue! God bless you!
Nice post!

Thank you for commenting on my post!
It's my pleasure
God is my path, I am Christian and I go to church mostly Sundays of course if I don't dive . Even there he is with me. Like always.
My dentist told me the story that when he was a young boy people didn't or mostly work in Sundays in America so it was the time to go to church, calm down, visit family, cousins and have fun. Maybe because the world is getting so fast too fast. My church is full of people feel good. My grandmother always said "Evil always loses and good always wins no matter what. " God bless you and thank you.
Thanks for sharing this, @margaretwise
Times were definitely different on those days and there was more of a commitment to attend church and to not work on Sunday's. Our culture has changed a lot and there does seem to be a lost ambition to walk the Christian life. We are moving too fast in life and should slow down to draw closer, to "be still and know that He is God", as the Bible says.
Thanks for sharing your experiences of faith and for your support. God bless you!
nice video

Thank you very much! I appreciate your support! Have a good day! :)
your'e welcome @breakingtonight,
Excellent video. Personally, I believe at the very root of the problem is that we, as Christians, or to accept responsibility, I, as a Christian, have turned the focus from others to self. Many of our churches are inwardly focused instead of outwardly focused. Living in the wealthiest 3% of the world just by being born in the US, the goal has become meeting our own needs instead of the needs of others. David Platt wrote a great book titled "Radical", which really challenges a lot of the actions and heart of the Christian Church in America. It is causing me to re-evaluate many things.
@swenger
Thank you for being open and honest about your feelings on this topic. I agree with you about accepting "responsibility". I believe many of us as Christians have failed to reach out to non-Christians in the appropriate way. I am convinced that the church needs to show the love of Christ in a greater capacity and to preach the gospel in a way that is pure and true. Man-made Christianity needs to step to the side so an authentic form of Christ's teachings can be properly portrayed.
Amen! We have perverted something that is perfect.
