I am not bashing Jesus. I am just saying that corruption can lead to the religion rotting from within. Look at the Ted Haggarty scandal. I am not anti-homosexual or pro-homosexual. I don't care what other people do in the sack. Its not my business. Ted Haggarty like many other Christians are good at butting into other people's private lives without pointing the finger back unto themselves. I think that this fake "holier that thou" corruption is starting to drive the sheep out of the barn. Its ok if you are anti-gay, only if you mean it and don't hide a secret gay life. I am starting to see more and more of this. I had a hardcore Christian friend and sometimes he bragged about cheating on his wife.

actually... ya. i think one day a religion such as this... it will fail.
im not saying religion is a bad thing...
its just that as times change, so do people. this religion has been around for years and years and years and hasnt changed. eventually this Church WILL need to change to fit the times, or it will fail.
people now a days are questioning more then ever before. back when this religion started it was pretty much, you believe or sometimes you'll die. you had to.
now, you dont. which gives people the right to question and even disprove it.
and this religion, so far, is not showing very much support for its self. i think its failing right before our eyes.

Rome was an earthly kingdom, subject to corruption and decay, like all earthly things.
God continues to maintain personal ownership of his church, and nothing we corrupt sinners do can ever change the holy nature of it.
You can plan on the church being around until Jesus comes again, however far into the future that might be.
