What Will be the Impacts of the Collapse of Mainstream Protestant Denominations?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You did not refute anything.

Of course I did, as simply saying something is false is a refutation of it. You shouldn't try to use words that you don't understand.

Furthermore, I argued my point: enforcing agreed upon laws in a democratic system is precisely the opposite of authoritarianism. The laws have been I.plememted by consensus, not unsupported decree.

Anyone who says otherwise is a freakish libertarian fool.

No that is not a refutation ignorant one.

That is nothing more than a childish and ignorant denial of fact.

You failed to refute anything and we all know this especially you.

You are proven wrong and have demonstrated a lack of intellect.

It is you who cannot argue and you have been made into a bitch

Haha, you are a whiny little freak. And you honestly think that repeating the same, embarrasisngly stupid statement is somehow support for that statement.

When you simply claim to have refuted it without having actually refuted it yes.

You are proven wrong.

It is authoritarian even if agreed upon by vote

That's what it means boy now you have been schooled.

Shut up and deal with it.

When you simply claim to have refuted it without having actually refuted it yes.

But I did. I refuted once when i called it false, and I refuted again with my argument.
Dude, you can whine like a little bitch all night. You aren't making any points.

What is "authentic Christianity"? I don't think I've ever met 2 Christians that can agree on what it means to be Christian.

People are full of shyte, and argue endlessly about trivial nonsense, usually all based on semantics.

Authentic Christianity is based on Faith, Obedience to Christ and His teachings, and Love for God and our fellow man.

All the rest is just someones opinion.

Wrong.
That is not a refutation .

You refuted nothing.

I need no points as I proved you wrong and you made yourself look like a total fool.

You presented no argument and are a cry baby

I don't disagree but my experience has been that Christians can always tell me who is NOT a Christian.

Yeah, we're dicks that way.

This nation was founded by Anglicans, and when the Revolution was successful they formally broke from the national church of England and became Episcopalians. And the sister denominations (Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, Northern Baptists, etc) that are clerically tied to the Episcopalian church in the US are collapsing also, given the Marxist rot that infects the clergy of all these denominations.

So what happens when the most powerful Establishment denominations collapse in this way?

They get replaced by a) coalitions of other denominations, b) ideological systems, c) Apatheists.

Of course the number one ideology that falls into both b) and c) is the ideological poison of Marxism, and I think the popularity of 'Socialism' as a word if not an actual economic system is also rising as a result.

How will this impact the US if a coalition of Catholic traditionalists, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals replace the Mainstream denominations? I think we are already seeing this in the Trump ascendance.

It seems pretty clear that Mainstream Protestants are cold on Trump while the rest of organized Christianity seems to be sliding into supporting him if they did not already do so.

Note that this chart does not cover the pentecostal movement which is lead by the Assemblies of God in numerical terms and accounts for about 10% of the total US population and continues to grow.

But thhe real question here is that the religiously unaffiliated seem to be mostly main stream Protestants that are socially replacing Main Stream Protestants across the nation.

This is a huge social change and I see little discussion or reflective thought regarding it.

In the days of these Kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and shall not be given to another people

The Bible sez that before Christ 2nd coming the church won't be destroyed. So apparently as bad as things are the Church will survive

Surviving is not what I want for my children. I want them to THRIVE in FREEDOM.

The Church of the Catacombs were surviving.

I quoted from the Bible. It didn't give any details per se
