Why are Christians so fragile in faith? Why do they spend money for canvassing religion like a "COSMETIC"?

Question

Church attendance in U.S.A.is gradually diminishing.In almost all churches and public meetings someone gives "witness"to God`s miracles as though everyone requires a proof of Jesus` power.Preachers enjoin Christians not to visit places of worship of other religions to avoid destraction.A lot of cash is spent for propagating faith.

Answer 1

Well, religion is going down, in popularity in most parts of the world. In Europe, all church leaders are worried about falling attendance. To attract adherents, rich churches, in US and Europe are spending money.

Religion is a fervor, where education and ecoomic conditions are poorer. Like most of South/ South East Asia, parts of Balkans, middle east etc.

Even there, a lot of money is spent to keep religious fervor alive. Saudi Arabia, chiefly, funds several madrasas in South Asia, and other parts of the world. A lot of Govt. money is spent in official Islamic countries, like Iran, Egypt, Arabia, Malayasia etc, to cater to the demands of religion. We may not see that money, becuase it is govt. money, but it is there.

So, its not just Christianity, that is 'marketing' its religion, and spending money to do it. Islam too spends a lot. The 3rd most popular religion, Hinduism/ Buddhism also spend money, though not as much ( not enough donor, except Japan for Budhdhism).

Answer 2

Those that are fragile in faith I believe use religion as a fashion statement. Have you ever noticed, 'cuz I have, people that have to back up their faith by wearing a cross the size of a ship's anchor.

It's not all Christians, I do know some that are cool people. But, I will say that most Christians seem like they are trying to see who can be more worthy of God's mercy.

Remember a Christian is living a mission.

Answer 3

Wow, you are one messed up person. My faith is not at all fragile. I have total faith in God and Jesus. I do not have faith in humans. They are creatures that can and do make mistakes, but humans are not perfect. Also they are not to be worshiped. I do not need proof of Jesus' power. I have faith in Him and in His power.

Answer 4

One Lord, one faith, one baptism? This is still One God....?
Ephesians 4:4
There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling.

Ephesians 4:5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
Ephesians 4:6
One God, and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians 4:7
Bur unto every one of us is given grace according to the measures of the gift of Christ.

Christians are funny when they seem to be serious.
