‘The Church’ has been hemorrhaging members in this country since the 90’s.

Is that the church's fault, or is that just an indication of where our society is heading?

That’s a good question.

This. Eastern Orthodoxy might be the last holdout among the mainline Christian churches.

That’s a good question.

The church wouldn’t be allowing itself to be circumvented unless it was the will of the membership.
The church is nothing more than a representation of its members, ie, society.

The only hope Christianity has lies in the individual,
Which means strength and the courage to stand up for the teachings Even when it’s not the popular view.

The Bible clearly spells out how we will become more lawless, Godless, wrong becomes right, etc. This is really no surprise. America has a heart condition.

When as a society we’ve somehow evolved to the point that we allow children to use litter boxes, indulging, even celebrating their psychosis, we deserve everything that’s going to happen to us in the near future.

The real “church”, the Body of Christ, they who have come out from among them, is not and will not implode. The true church flourishes even amid hardship.

Organized religion long ago lost its savor and is being trodden under the foot of this society.

The blood washed, redeemed church will keep growing even as the apostate harlot dies.

Seriously, you could be more respectful of the Christians on this board and keep those comments to yourself.

Christianity is actions, not organizations. Organizations, regardless of their published goals or doctrines, are run by bureaucrats. Bureaucrats don't do good works in the name of Jesus, they do self-serving works in the name of furthering their own power, influence, and wealth.

Change my mind.
This.... If your church is registered with a 501-3c it is operated by the gov not the Lord

That used to be the exception, not the rule. But I did go to golden corral last night and pretty declared society a lost cause.


But seriously, there are plenty of great churches out there. Most people have lost interest in Church. That's fine, it's not the Church's job to draw them in.

What IRS designation does a “real church” have?

The problem, it seems, is too many Christians can't differentiate between Christianity, and organized religion.

Neither can most non-Christians.
