Christianity At A Crossroad; The Christian And The Fate Of Christianity
Christianity faces a battle that it must win but can lose if the Christian community does not comes together. Over the last two thousand years we have experienced attacks and we have survived.
But we can lose this power to fight back if we do not organize. Now more than ever our societies are quicker to accept the contemporary view of the bible and the irrelevance of the Christian faith than we once did.
Over recent years there has been a lot of information in the form of movies and books that have had a significant impact on the Christian faith. Their attacks are packaged in a way to taint the Christian God and replace it with a modern view.
They tend to attack the bible, the main source of the Christian faith, by writing scholarly works that point out the incorrectness of the gospels. They argue that the gospels were written long after the crucifixion and therefore legends would have already developed by the time they were written.
Accepted movies and books do great damage to the Christian faith and the bible. They attack them in new ways and find methods to disdain accepted scholarly works with their scholarly work.
These new age scholars, writers and producers are shaping the way the public perceive the Christian faith. They are becoming successful because of the information age which makes it easier for them to provide their opinions especially on the Internet and crowding out traditional scholars.
They are dissuading even traditional Christians especially the educated ones. Their agenda is to make Christianity and the Christian God a thing of the past. These radical attackers of the Christian faith will use virtually any means at their disposal to reduce the Christian faith to irrelevance.
Our schools have been a sacred teaching place where the Christian faith was taught to the young and Christian morals were instilled. Gone are those days when our curriculum consisted of books that promoted creationism and not the idea of Darwinism. Our impressionable are vulnerable and are being taught concepts the Christian faith doesn’t promote.
We have to form a coalition of the willing who will come against this assault against our beliefs and our faith. Until we begin to fight Christianity will lose its importance in our lives and in our societies.
