Christianity is at a point where the Christian community is under attack. We have been here before over the past two thousand years but we survived.
But we can lose this power to fight back if we do not organize. Now more than ever our societies are quicker to accept the contemporary view of the bible and the irrelevance of the Christian faith than we once did.
The last few years have seen a plethora of information mainly in books and movies that have attacked the Christian faith. These attacks are designed to debase the Christian God that we serve as divine and the ruler of everything and replace it with the accepted view of today.
They tend to attack the bible, the main source of the Christian faith, by writing scholarly works that point out the incorrectness of the gospels. They argue that the gospels were written long after the crucifixion and therefore legends would have already developed by the time they were written.
New age books and movies vilely attack the Christian faith and the bible by diverting from accepted truths and pointing out new ways of looking at scriptures. These new ways are clearly not accurate and are designed to destroy rather than support the historical Jesus.
Contemporary attackers of the Christian faith are determining the way in which the public view the Christian faith. Their success is due in large part to the public being pre-exposed to Darwinism and other ideas that explain away the need for the Christian faith.
Modern scholars are discouraging Christians particularly those who are educated. The goal is to debase the Christian God to irrelevance and finally claim victory over this long religious odyssey.
Our schools have been a sacred teaching place where the Christian faith was taught to the young and Christian morals were instilled. Gone are those days when our curriculum consisted of books that promoted creationism and not the idea of Darwinism. Our impressionable are vulnerable and are being taught concepts the Christian faith doesn’t promote.
Until Christians worldwide begin to fight collectively we will reach a point where we lose the battle. It is time to wake up and fight the good fight for it is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
