Who says anything about Christianity fading out of view?
I forsee a grand insurgence of it coming soon. There are changes working, changes you may not be aware of, but Christianity as a whole is not fading. At least not according the census, and according to some denominational leaders I know are making record numbers.
I think now that especially that many denominations are embrasing more contemporary style services, and more family oriented programs rather than the cold separate entity it used to be, people are starting to get involved again.
I have noticed there is a hunger for religion in our world still as it was a thousand years ago. However most people are sick of fundamentalism in every type of religion. We thirst for the awe religion once carried. The almost magical presence we once felt as a people thousands of years ago.
To be honest Church is boring, Sermons are usually uninteresting, the music is sucky, and the messages we get from fundies are highly negative, AT BEST….
Jesus intended us to have a personal relationship with God. Jesus taught love and compassion. And that seems to be whats missing from most churches in our day. If we can put Christ back into Christianity and banish the evil agendas of man maybe we can have a future worth having.
Many Christians can’t even agree with each other liturgically, so who knows what will happen. I intend to take the baby steps needed until a time when we can all unite and make something worth going to.

1. Christianity's fading out of view? I mean, I'd be more than happy to believe that it is, but I don't see that happening.
2. The "son of the morning might just be right" about what?

What a laugh if it wasn't so tragic that anyone could be so blind to truth.
Christianity ( the real deal ) has been threatened, crushed, persecuted, and all kinds of attempts have been made since the time of Christ to wipe it out, but it never happened and will
not happen this side of eternity. WE are here to stay until the rapture. All man's pathetic attempts to silence the voice of God coming through His people are doomed to failure and with good reason! Those who oppose true Christianity think they are fighting against mere men when in truth they are fighting against God Himself.
When Paul ( then named Saul ) was knocked off his horse on the road to Damascus while on a trip to exterminate more Christians the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him and said,
"Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting ME." Jesus takes it very
personal when others attack His people.
You who oppose Christianity should take the words of Gamaliel to heart as he told the Sanhedrin of Jesus' day, "If these men are not from God they can do nothing and their sect will die out, but if they are messengers from God you will find yourselves fighting against God Himself." Have you noticed that Christianity has survived all the attacks against it! Are you so foolish as to think that a "sect" as Gamaliel said that has lasted all these years will now suddenly fade from view? Wake up and get a grip on reality! Only the end of time and the beginning of eternity will silence the Christians and that will be only because there is no salvation beyond the judgment seat of Christ and there will be no more souls needing to be saved.

I don't think that we have come to a point where Christianity is fading. More so it is that we have come to a point where there are a whole lot of lackluster churches and believers who do not have as much passion in what they believe any more. I do not claim to be a Christian, because I have not come to a point in my life where I have learned and know everything. However, I do think that christianity has a lot of good in it, and has had a huge impact on the amount of morality that is still left in America today.

The Son of the Morning, as in the rebellious angel and bestower of art and culture on humanity?
He was right from the beginning.

as christianity and religion fades from Spirituality,
just make sure You did this:
Create a Private, Personal, Direct, Divine Relationship with Our Creator and save Your Soul from religion's and atheist's beliefs and start Your journey back home, to Heaven.
<<<<<<< UnConditional Love is the only answer >>>>>>>
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
"religion is Spiritual fraud";
"religion is the Worse invention of humanity";
"Universal Truth has eliminated religion from Spirituality",
quotes of Jesus Christ, Buddha and any one else with Spiritual intelligence.
"When a person is freed of religion, they have a better chance to live a normal and wholesome life." S. Freud
Here are some of my quotes:
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
Freedom of religion is Freedom from religion.
atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions = paganism = wicca = xians = homosexuals/lesbians = skinheads = politicians = lawyers.

Well I dont really see Christianity fading at all. Just about everyone I ever talk to or meet in real life believes in God and respects Jesus if not believes in him exclusively.

Fading out of whose view? Are you stoned again? Christianity isn't for the masses. Many are called but few are chosen.

Fading out of view and a cold wind coming? I welcome both at least the cold wind. It is freaking hot over here.
