Do you think it's possible ?

Question

Is it possible for Christianity to have more than half population of this planet as members?
Let's say we have 6.5 billion right now . Can 3.5 billion be Christians? Please think before answer ( bible knowledge is required for this one).

The Reason I said bible knowledge is required is :
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. -- Revelation 6:8
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand ... By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. -- Revelation 9:15-18

Okay, let's count them up. 1/4 will be killed by Death and Hell (per Rev.6:8). That leaves 3/4 alive, 1/3 of which will be burned to death by the 200 million fire and brimstone breathing horsemen of Rev.9:15-18. Since 1/3 of 3/4 is 1/4, half the human population will be killed in these two slaughters.

So it's phisicly impossible to have more than half population as christians according to bible.

Answer 1

"bible knowledge is required for this one".

Er, no it's not.

Answer 2

Christians represent about 1/3 of the population at this time. It is the largest single religion but not the majority of the population.

By the way, if you think that Bible knowledge is necessary to answer a statistical question, then you're leaning WAY too much on your Bible as the source of information.

Answer 6

The Bible says the whole world will worship the only True God, however the worlds population won't be as it is today.

Answer 7

It is possible for everyone to be Christian, but it is just not the way it is. It is also possible for everyone to believe it or that the earth is flat and for that not to be true. I'm not sure what biblical knowledge would be required so please enlighten me.

Answer 8

not possible since christianity and islam both combined only make up 54% of the worlds population.

Answer 9

No, what is necessary are statistics.
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
About 33% Christians on the total population.

of course, that is all denominations lumped together; many of them could not stand to be in the same room.

Answer 10

half the population does worship a risen saviour. just under diffferent names. the other half worship cows or tom cruise.

Answer 11

Over the long run, yes, but at any given time, no - it seems as though it's always a "remnant".
