How soon until the Bible dies out?

Question

We all know that there've been countless religions before Christianity, Islam and Judaism, but they are hardly (if at all) practised anymore. All of them died out as great civilizations went kaput for mysterious reasons...
So my question is: How much longer will Western civilization hold out, along with the Bible?

"The Bible is forever!"

Yeah, the Romans were probably saying the same thing about their scriptures of Zeus or what ever thousands of years ago.

Answer 1

Grammer: Once the Holy Bible - the world's most sold ever, book becomes an item on the endangered species list, the society as we now, know it will be extinct. Two-thirds of the prophesies, slated for the end of this age, have to become a reality and are in the making now, (global warming for starters). By the way, the Bible tells of a time when a massive witch hunt will be on for all those, who worship God, to kill them. So; you will b able to rejoice in the fact that Christians will die BUT the Bible will be in existence but "black-listed" (banned). We all (human race) live for the hope in Jesus Christ. Once the opportunity to share that hope is lost, your society is no longer relevant.

You haven’t read the bible have you? The bible will last all eternity. Christianity was first and will be last.

They haven’t died out as you suggest. You must be living in a cave if you believe that. Read the bible so you can know the truth. Of course you have to want to know the truth, so if you’re just spouting off just to be saying something, then you really aren’t interested in the truth.

Answer 4

I'm afraid it doesn't. The Bible says in Matthew 24:35...Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

And again in Psalm 119:89...Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.

One more...Isaiah 40:8...The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."

The Bible has a perennial freshness about it. Unlike other books, the Bible never becomes obsolete.

Answer 5

That's a pretty difficult question to answer - there are many factors that lead to the decline of a given Empire or Great Nation, but what you are talking about is the collapse of an entire civilization and theology.

Judaism has been around for about 4,000 years.

Hinduism - from its earliest form - has been around for about 7,000+ years...

So...I doubt that the Bible or the various flavors of Christianity are going anywhere soon, nor Judaism, nor Islam.

Although Islam may be in for some difficulty - Several sites have analyzed the likelihood of a nuclear terror attack and the highly probable destruction of the Middle East following such an attack. This would remove a number of critical links in Islam (including some of the 5 Pillars and two or three of their most holy sites and most of their centers of learning) and possibly result in that religion fading out of existence within a century or so. However, the destruction of Israel - another possibility with Iranian nuclear ambitions clearly stating that they intend to destroy Israel immediately - would not destroy Judaism.

Islamic terror is the biggest threat to life on Earth right now, particularly with the Nuclear Black Market created by Pakistan and Dr. Khan as well as the spread of Soviet-era chemical and biological warfare ideas to Islamic terror groups.

There is also the possibility of a wildfire disease (such as a hemorrhagic fever like Ebola-Zaire) knocking out enough social links as to destroy the structure of our society. This is an especial risk with modern air-travel (Ebola is about 90% communicable and about 90% lethal and is contagious for about 2 weeks before the infected person begins to show severe symptoms)

You can see a further threat to a large segment of Western Civilization - Europe - in their failing demographics. With birth-rates of less than 1.25 per couple (and dropping), most nations in Europe will cease to exist as a cultural entity within 100 years. They have lost their will to breed and their will to defend themselves and their national identities. Their economies are collapsing and their governments have lost control of huge areas of their territory (as I write this, one of Paris' major train stations is burning from rioting 'youths' and another 200 cars are going up in flames).

However, I believe that the United States still has another couple of hundred years left in her, though the Liberals are doing their very best to destroy our national will as they've done in Europe.

Answer 6

The Word of God stands forever.
People all down through the centuries have tried to stamp it out, goverments, other religions, schools, atheists - all have tried to discredit God's Word the Bible, not God's Word will never pass away. It is as relevant today as it has always been.

Answer 7

Dear Friend,

The Bible is the eternal word of God.

God Bless

Answer 8

Hello my dear friend,
I will like to start my answer to your question by first of first correcting one thing in your question.
Christianity is not religion but is the way of life. I.e. one way you will follow and have internal life. The race of man is like what goes up that must surely come down. we all came to this world from God and we are going back to him one day. A philosopher told me what make him believe in God, he said 'no move without a mover and nothing exist without a creator' if we therefore believe this, GOD the only supernatural been is the creator of heaven and earth. He sent us to the world and we are all returning back unto him. So the only way to go back to Him is by pleasing him and how can we please him is by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal saviors and ask him to wash our sin away and give us His righteousness. That is the summary meaning of Christianity. Which is the way of life and any other way is eternal damnation in HELL FIRE which is as real as day.

I believe in bible because is a world of God. And it says forever o Lord your word is settle in heaven. as it is that no one can stop the existence of God so it is no one will be able to stop bible from existence because is the word of God. The Bible also says "so shall my word be that goes out of my mouth it shall not retune unto me unfulfilled but it shall prosper in His way where unto I sent it. No level of civilization in any region at any time no matter how is enforce, that will be able to stop Bible from existence. Whenever God come He come to stay and the word of God is God. I therefore congratulate the people that have the Bible dwelling in their heart because God is dwelling in their heart
.

Answer 9

I don't know. Honestly at this day and age I'm surprised that Christianity is still around at all. I mean, I don't want to seem judgmental, and I respect people's right to believe whatever they choose... But we now understand how the world works, why do people still believe mythology? It's the biggest case of mass hysteria that has ever been seen.

Answer 10

The Bible will die out, as you put it, when CHRIST returns for then there will be no further need of it as the Living WORD will take its place.
