Other religions and even the lacks of religion are on the increase, it looks like Christianity is fighting a loosing battle from the outside. Is this the end of days that they spoke of but not in the way they expected?

Btw, this is not intended as persecution, it is open discussion about prophecies of the Bible interpretted in modern times.

There may be a billion Christians on this planet, in fact there's probably more. The fact is though that the percentage of Christians has never been lower.
Oh and omfg I spelt interpreted with two Ts, oh sin. At least I know when to use the word "are" and not just "a".
One last thing, as someone said, Islam is on the increase whether you or me like it or not. As I've said before I wouldn't be surprised if we went through another dark ages due to Islam following Christianity's fanatical footsteps.

I highly doubt Christianity will ever be gone for good. But I do think that maybe eventually Christians could become a minority instead of the majority as they are now. I don't see it happening real soon.
I hope this isn't one of those "We're being persecuted" arguments. Because you can't be the majority and have all the power and say you're being persecuted or "taken out". :) Christians are still the majority.

All the answeres are in the bible. Just study it. Read it over and over, the light will eventually come through. Study it with friends and talk about it. Read Josh McDowells, Evidence That Demands a Verdict. He was an agnostic that set out to disprove the bible and was converted into being a believer. All other religions deal in death. Christians deal in Life because their God is still alive

when you die and presumably get to Heaven then you will not need faith anymore because then you will know and see with perfect clarity, and so when Christ comes at the end of earthly time there will be no division of religions as again you will know and see without wondering or taking sides.
from the Christian perspective Jesus is the Christ and He said that He would be with His church until the end of time and that the gates of Hell will not defeat His church.
Christianity is certainly taking a heck of a bashing today and some see in this that the end of day`s are drawing near,and the final battle will be fought.

Right now we are in the church age. That age will end soon and usher in the tribulation, followed by the 1000 year reign of Christ.
