First, the geocentric thoery of bible was proven wrong. Second, slaverism of bible was denied. Now, gays are being legalized even though, in bible prohibits it. Is this enough evidence that christianity is flawed? Few moments of bad karma result in eternity of hell, is this really fair? More and more christians every day are becoming athiest, the faith is getting lost. Is the end of christianity coming?

Let's go through this step by step to first eliminate your flaws. First: The "geocentric theory" of the Bible is hogwash. There is zero theory in the Bible - regardless of your scientific views.
Second: Slavery has been around ever since Man first used another to do his bidding. It was in the Bible, it was in all parts of history and it is with us today. Slavery has never been denied.
Third: a few moments of bad karma will not send you to hell. Dying without professing Christ as your Savior and giving your total heart to Christ is the only action that will land you in an eternity of hell.
Fourth: The truth is that more and more athiests are becoming Christians. The world, right this very moment, is experiencing a global movement towards Christianity, not away from it. As the Bible clearly points out, there will be the greatest soul harvest ever witnessed by Man before the coming of Christ. So, buckle up my brother, and get ready to get saved. All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your heart. He will and He'll take it from there.

I hope christianity comes to an end. At least in it's present incarnation. Humans need their spirituality back - the spirituality that the christian institution has systematically suppressed through manipulation and fear. People, if there is a god "up there" I have serious doubts about his thinking in any way resembling your average power hungry human being, which is more or less the christian concept; God is up there "ruling" the kingdom of Heaven - passing Judgement - Making Rules - Forging alliances and battling enemies (Satan, people? come on.) It's a trick to keep people looking up, because the truly spiritual and divine occurs in small doses right here, constantly oozing, saplike, from all around us; miracles bursting like tiny firecrackers with each step we take, and all we have to do is "TUNE IN". This is what Christianity does not want for the obvious reason that it will cease to exist - cease to be a tool wielded by power hungry humans against the masses.
That aside, I don't doubt the intentions of those who wrote the bible, just those who slammed it down on humanity as "THE WORD OF GOD". Again, I don't believe that god needs words, just look around once. The whole purpose of having a spiritual life is to learn to speak "god's" language, which is a personal, individual journey of the soul, a communication belonging only to you. It's not a weekly congregation of praise and worship, lest we be punished for not appearing in public as eternally grateful to the stern and forbidding father upstairs. Lest we become unforgiven.....

no Christianity isn't coming to an end...Legalistic thinking maybe (and I hope so) , but as for true Christianity no.
As for those things you've mentioned...yeah, they're happening but that's only because PROPHECY is being fulfilled. It is NOT evidence that Christianity is flawed. Humanity is flawed (it's called "sin")
As for 'christians' becoming 'ateists' (etc...) read the parable of the sower (the seeds/soil)... This explains things very well. It's unfortunate that people are rejecting the seed of God's message - but it's certainly no shock.
As for homosexual marriages,etc being legalized; and the Bible prohibiting...You shouldn't even guess at it, because again: God will be the one who will hold people accountable for these abominations. I'm not their judge - God is.
All Christians can do is get the message out there...We are called to witness, not to be salespeople. It's up to oneself if they want to accept or reject Christ. The funny thing about faith/belief: It's something that one either has, or not --- It's a gift of God.
God Bless.

Just because the government turns a blind eye to unethical things doesn't make them right. Although Christians colonized what is America today, there is still a separation between church and state. We have just as much proof to suggest at least some of the Bible is accurate and reasons to believe in God as not to. If someone is a true believer, they would do just that--BELIEVE. Religion isn't about what you can prove bc if you believe in God, there is more knowledge held by that entity than by us as humankind. People really need to start restoring their faith and start nourishing their spirituality.

Actually the Bible never really says that everything revolves around the earth, it doesn't state that has a fact, so no to the first one. I have no idea what you are talking about on the second one. The third one is suppossed to happen, the world is suppossed to go into chaos, signaling the End Times, so actually this supports the Bible.

YES. Because it has been falsely taught by hypocritical people for too long. Many Christians today forget the basic Christian teaching. That nobody is better than anyone else. This why so many hate the Jewish people. And why Christians are hated today.
But true Christianity. What Christ taught, not mans
interpretations of what he taught. Might still help us to face the trying times ahead.

Religion may come to an end. Jesus being God will never come to an end. We live on an earth where satan tempts us everyday. Jesus will come back one day. The Bible has never been proven wrong. The only sin Jesus will not forgive is dying without being sorry for your sins, and having Christ in your heart.
Threre are no athiests in hell!

"End of Christianity?" Huh. That's kinduv a silly question. I say this because what you're doing in your examples is comparing what is happening in the physical to what is real in the spiritual. So first, the question is flawed.
Second, is Christianity in danger? Of course it is! The Christians who profess their "faith" (especially in America) do not profess faith in God, but in what they want to be true. Religion is worthless. Even God said that to Isaiah.
What people don't get is that the Christian faith is not suppose to be about rules, regulations, don't-get-bad-karma or anything else, but about having a relationship with almighty God. He wants us to love Him no matter what and to love each other no matter what. Karma, laws, and theories have nothing to do with any of that.
Anyway, sure "Christianity" is in danger, but not because God won't exist. Because those who say they're Christians don't know the God they serve.

All this is Prophecy being fullfilled. In the end times many will choose the broad way leading to distrucyion. God made man and female for each other. Thats why we are made the way ! So you see . Theres very few in number finding the truth and holding onto the beliefs that Jesus tought...

No there is no risk . Read Matthew chapter 24 and note verse 12 . 2nd Timothy 3:13 and 2nd Peter 2:1 . These are things that are happening right now as we speak . Especially 1st Timothy 4:1 . God bless you and your family .
