I'd like to put this in debate topic form, because I have a "resolution" for folks to be for or against:
​
Resolved: that
​
1.) Christianity as it is known today is a failure and does not produce what it promises
​
2.) "The Faith," is it was once known, has not always been a failure, and once produced what it promised
​
3.) If the problems are corrected, "The Faith" is capable of producing a lifestyle that is recognizable by most people as "the way it ought to be."
​
There may be a better way to word point 3, but I'm actually quoting words we have heard repeatedly.
​
Faith & Belief forum, I assume.
​
I thought I'd leave my defense of this resolution to the body of the thread.
​
Well, of course this was going to happen. It was predicted in the bible.
​
When it gets its worst, THAT is when christ will return, but that is also when everyone has HEARD, (but does not have to belie) the gospel. By everyone I mean all nations.

If the way that you believe is so great, shouldn't it attract followers on its own merits?
​
HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MANY PEOPLE ATTEND ONE BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE AND HOW MANY PEOPLE COMMIT THEMSELVES TO CHRIST THAT HAVEN'T BEFORE OR WERE ATHIESTS BEFORE OR OF ANOTHER RELIGION? ITS FREEKEN UBELEIVABLE.
​
It shouldn't still be happening today.
​
I say christianity is still doing well, but I predict it to have some more failures.
​
PS. Forgive me of the caps.
