Hallo,

I’ve thinking about Ron’s post a lot, and maybe I’ll blog something about it later, but labeling Christianity, at least for me, also represents an important step to differentiate people, customs and symbols, and then isolating them in a „separated room“ on society. So, I also don’t think it’ll vanish, but for „banishment“ and meant that.

I liked the term „Neopaganism“ (meaning of „Neuheidentum“, right?) that Ron used here very much. We are living in a world where Christianity, at least formally, is not the most important religion anymore (in countries who had once strong christian backgrounds), and with many other gods and beliefs, which means in the end that our God is just „Yahveh, the christian god“.

As Christians, we need to respect everybody, love even our enemies, but also reaffirm what David said:

Die Götter der Völker sind nur tote Götzen, der HERR aber hat den Himmel geschaffen. (1 Chronik 16:26 GNB)

God bless.

Cristiano.

I don’t think it will vanish, it will remain as a label. The question is what we’ll find behind it…

Greetings, Jürgen

In Europe (maybe also here, in a nearby future) christianism must be avoided in many levels; in Muslim countries, even not allowed. So, in the end, the message of the world is: if you are a Christian, keep it for yourself, or don’t be.

But reading the Bible, we know exactly why this happens.

Regards.
