Christianity making a comeback?

[JRexx]

I noticed a trend over the last 10 or so years that more and more people are coming back to God. Some are becoming Catholic or returning to their faith, others are becoming Christian or some other branch of Christianity. Russel Brand has recently declared his salvation through Christ and was baptized. Gen Z appears to be more against gay marriage and LGBT+ topics, pushes, and advances than the boomers were which I find strange. One would not think this if you look on social media but I am seeing more and more data to suggest it. Many young adults are not only seeking out marriage but God. Finding church comforting. Many younger ladies are seeing the benefits of marriage and family over career and financial success. 

Do you think we are going to see a massive boom in Christianity in the near future? I have to imagine it will be necessary to combat all this hate and racism as well as the rise of Sharia and the Islamic state trying to take over westernized countries.

No, I believe it will get worse. There will be signs that some are beginning to see the light but it will be few. Like the light shinning in darkness.

I think people want this and I am sure more people will come to know Christ. It has happened throughout history but I feel like for every one person that does, dozens fall away. The world we live in now is about self and self-pleasure. We have children growing up believing the world revolves around them and they can be anything they want, literally. So many young girls are removing their breasts and being told they are boys now.

This is being done by doctors. They also kill babies. Can you trust your doctor?

This video is worth a watch. He is Christian but explains everything going on and how things can get better, or how things can (and likely will) get much worse. What people should focus on. What people should avoid. ect. ect.

No matter what we do or don't do, no matter what happens we always, always, ALWAYS have to seek the truth and help spread it.

[chrysostom]

The video wore me out. He talked too fast. You need time to sort it out. What can you do with a lot of information that is not necessarily connected? Is this an example of chaos?  In the end he starts making sense. We need to work on only what we can control. Learn what you can. Do your duty as soon as you find out what it is.

I have not for a long time. I know some do have people's health in mind but they are few and far in between and tend to lose their licenses over politics. A whole body doc is just too hard to find. They aren't trained in college to be this way either.

I found one and was really happy about it until I got the letter that he was moving to another location.

Catholics are Christian but not all Christians are Catholic. Christianity's frame work is rooted in Christ but has tons of branches, Catholicism is one of the larger branches. This is why I don't like when people call all Catholics Christians and all Christians Catholic. Christians (non-Catholic Christians) do not pray to saints or believe in the pope having any authority. They believe you go through Christ to speak with God and Christ is the only authority other than God. I am oversimplifying it as to not write a book here lol

I just feel like to people on the outside, be it agnostic or atheist, it just ends up confusing people. So yeah, Catholicism is Christian but one can't assume because someone says they are Christian, they are Catholic. 

Also a lot of people will say they are Christian when they really just mean agnostic because they cherry pick the bible. I have a lot of those types in my family lol

Many Muslims pray to Mary because it works.

I think faith is what matters. If you have enough faith in something stemming from God, it can move mountains. This is why so much of Christ's teachings are about mind over matter in the most non-biblical sense of viewing it. We are all made in the image of God after all.

I was raised Catholic. When I talk to God, I just talk to him like a friend/family member. I don't talk to saints or those who have died. I know a lot of people find comfort in doing this stuff. If you heart is in the right place, I am sure God understands. 

[chrysostom]

Just pray.
