Bravo. I think there’s much to be said for your last post. For some, they genuinely question whether or not Christianity is even true…? I get that. But regarding the OP…for a post-Christian nation…and for many people, they question whether or not Christianity is good…? Is Christianity good for humanity; is it good for our society; is it good for our children; is it good for us…?
And just what is the “it” in the above questions…? Is Christianity what our post-Christian nation has seen and experienced for themselves (individually and collectively)…which is clearly unattractive to a great many people, so much so that it’s on the decline in this country…or is Christianity really “good news of great joy for all people”…?
Is there a distinction between the Christianity that is on the decline in this country, and the Christianity that was taught and modeled by Jesus and His apostle’s…? Is the version of Christianity that so many nowadays find unattractive and resistible the same version as the original version of Christianity…?
Is the problem with the message itself, or is the problem with the messengers (individually and collectively, denominations, the church, etc.)…?
