    Now i know some of you guys have different religious beliefs and that’s fine. I am a Christian and proud of it. I was in church yesterday and have been thinking about this question for quite a while and wanted to pose it to the forum. What is the future of the church. I’m in the Bible Belt, where it is heavily religious, but when i look at the population of these churches all i see are people of the older generation. Those would be the Baby Boomer generation.

    There are not very many young people in church nowadays, and even the ones that go are told to go by their parents, and don’t necessarily because they want to. Young people make up a very small minority of the church population, with the older people making up the difference. But what will the church look like when that older generation is gone? Will the church become even more empty, will we see a new religious renaissance?

    Also this same question can be asked in regards to our government. Have you looked at Congress lately, i think the average age of someone in Congress is late 70’s. So sooner rather than later, Congress has to be replaced and some new blood will need to be added. What will the government look like when those Baby Boomers leave? What will the government look like when millennials are the majority of the country?

    I just sat there and wondered that and i cannot come up with an answer to the riddle. Now regardless of what your politics are, one thing that i think we all can agree on, is the the United States and the World needs more religion. The lack of it, surely contributed to the way things are now. Religion used to provide a foundation, now with less and less people going to church, i fear that foundation may be in rough shape.

    So what is the answer? How can the church get more people in the doors. What does the future hold for the church?

    Thoughts??

    I am not sure but I am proud of my Christian faith as well. I try to be the example I wish to see in society and pray to God that he continues to guide me. That is all.

    I’ve been going to church on my own on most Sundays.

    As sad as it is for me to say this, I think the church is dying.

    Without our generation, the church has no foreseeable future.

    In all honesty, I go to church and don’t even see pretty, god fearing women.

    I can see one or the other, but not both.

    The hypocrisy is sickening, and what I would argue is really hampering the church.

    I went to young adult events, and I just couldn’t bring myself to go anymore.

    Way too many blue pill simps, and landwhales.

    I also, just couldn’t get on board with all the clandestine gender pandering.

    The church blames men for things all the time, and I actually had to leave a sermon from being so p~~~ed.

    On Father’s Day too, no joke…

    I just go there to seek forgiveness now, nothing more.

    It allows me to reflect on my week’s mistakes and shortcomings.

    Then I pray for Christ’s forgiveness.

    At this point, I’m trying to survive in the lost world, and not be of this world.

    I guess you can say I’ve been going my own way in my church as well.

    Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

    I am at pains to say it but it seems to be dying out in western society.
    Less so in the developing nations.

    Multi media is the new religion. I’m saying that while using it I admit.

    It makes for bleak prospects because of the values and self discipline healthy faith can foster.

    The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape, finding oneself in the ranks of the insane. Marcus Aurelius

    PGTOW – Pastors Going Their Own Way. There is no church building anymore. It’s all fraud and fake. The only people I have seen giving the gospel, and the true gospel, no works non-sense, are single men doing it in a special way. No churches.

    I am a Christian as well. However, I do not attend any service. Too many churches cater to the wishes of women and the weak minded in order to try to bolster attendance and tithing. Now the house of God is now the house of lies. As you see the attendance has dropped off due to the lies. Your faith needs to be that in the Lord, not in people. You must be your own Church and your light needs to be the light of the Lord.

    Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

    It’s just odd to me. The influence of the church used to be huge, it was insurmountable, the church used to basically run roughshod in Europe at one point. Now that influence has just dwindled as the years have gone by. I can’t imagine not going to church. Even when i’m looking for jobs across the state, i look for a nice area first, and the second thing i look for is a church. These young men don’t want to be deacons. These women don’t want to be deacon wives or even pastor’s wives. That must be boring to them.

    You should see the young people in my church, they have their hands on their phones more than anything else. Yea they may sing in the choir but it’s only a few. And the number of bastard kids at my church running around is astounding. Doesn’t the Bible say that a Bastard shall never inherit the kingdom of Heaven, not even until their 10th generation. And not only do they pop out kids like no tomorrow, they have baby showers at the church. They just get up during the announcement portion of service and tell everybody to come to the baby shower. I thought these were Christian people, where the hell is the home training.

    Young men are the last thing i see, and yes they do show up, but they are children. They are being told to go to church. I feel weird if it’s Sunday and i’m not in church. When all these old folks are gone, who will be in the church then?

    I agree, the Bible does say that where there are more than 3 who gather in my name, i shall be in the midst of them. We all need to make sure we have a deep personal relationship with God. I can’t imagine where i would be, if i didn’t have one. I pray all the time, i treat people right, i don’t bother folks.

    The last church I attended was a baptist church. They claimed it was faith alone but boy where they frauds. They were just works based people putting their good deeds in with the gospel. The wife of the pastor would get on the podium every Sunday morning and talk a bunch of women non-sense and bulls~~~, attention on me, blah blah blah. I finally called them out on it and told them the real biblical gospel and they called the police on me. I had a free mason sheriff in my garage a day later. No joke.

    FEMINISM BRO. Real men hardly exist anymore. Look at Martin Luther. During the reformation. He nailed a biblical thesis to the catholic church doors calling them the whores of babylon. That’s why people left Europe for America. The Catholic Church, Vatican, and Jesuits where burning Bibles, people, and churches to the ground. Most of history is stained with blood of believers at the hands of the catholic church. If you guys haven’t seen it you need to watch the documentary, “Untold History of the Bible” – There is a second one too, Tares Among the Wheat. Can be viewed for free on youtube and it is jammed packed with truth about history and the Bible. It’s really well done.

    Considering alot of blue pills and femnazis think that the church is related to the patriarchy I forsee continued dwindling of parcipation in anything that would promote a healthy nuclear family of a man, woman, and THEIR children. Since christians generally promote this kind of lifestyle it will probably be degraded further until it breaks like many others have before it. Unfortunately this virus has infected the water everywhere. Society as a whole in the USA is like a rotting carcus in the hot sun. It just breaksdown further and emits its retchid gases into the air.

    On a postive note regardless of your religious affliation or lack thereof its never been a better time to be going your own way. The future has been cancelled. Might as well fire up the smoker and pop open a cold one. This carcass may take a while for the vultures to pick clean.

    The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "save us!"....... and i'll look down and whisper "No."

    I will have to respectfully disagree. My dad is a pastor outside of his job. He owns a business and makes plenty of money from it. Does not touch the church’s income at all for personal gain. It is all reinvested in the church or to help others.

    In addition, he is married to my mom but this may be one of the few exceptions to what you are saying. My mom is a very supportive woman and always trusts my dad to guide our family in the best path possible.

    However, I do believe that a single man would make a great Pastor. No distractions at all and very connected with God. I am considering taking this route later in life as I have always been close to God growing up in a Christian family. Helping others is an innate trait that I have. My parents know I am MGTOW but not monk mode. I just don’t plan on having children or getting married. They agree that it is better to stay single than to be in a bad relationship. It also allows me to become closer to God.

    Well I am a conservative Lutheran and am a member of an actual Lutheran denomination, not one of those “Lutheran in name only” denominations. I am a very sincere believer. Oh, yeah before I forget… hey all of you Catholics October 31st is the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther launching the reformation!!! Take that!!! Okay I’m trying to have some good natured fun guys, please take it as such.

    Feminism won’t stop until Christian denominations are “Christian” in name only. Refer to how I described the Lutheran denomination that I belong to, it sticks to the Bible and the Lutheran distinctives. Unlike the ELCA which is so liberal and non Lutheran that it most certainly can be described a secular body. Female pastors, gay pastors, gay marriage, pro abortion. etc. This is what the regressive left does, it destroys everything that it gets its hands on. The Anglican Church is going through a realignment right now so there are some bright spots although the future of the ACNA may not be as rosy at it’s cracked up to be as some of the diocese in that church body allow female pastors. The Episcopal Church is already done, but there are smaller Anglican bodies which are surprisingly faithful to the historic faith. (I’m being a bit generous I know, so please go easy on me)

    Well since your dad’s a pastor, you can provide some insight into the question. How do you see the future of the church. What are the numbers like at your home church. Is there an even mix of young and old, or do the old outnumber the young?

    Both St. Paul and Jesus talk about being single. St. Paul goes so far as to say being single is preferable. Jesus says that singlehood is a gift. St. Paul explains it more fully and says that if one is single to not get married, but if one takes a wife that is okay too. I love that about the Bible. It says what it says about marriage plainly. And I don’t argue with either Jesus or St. Paul!!

    Yea probably not a good idea to disagree with either one of those.

    Every Christian religion has caved to feminism, and feminism is inherently repulsive. Why do you think Islam is the fastest growing religion? NO FEMINISM. Simple as that.

    The Bible is quite explicitly anti-feminist, so it’s not religion itself which is at fault. It’s simply that the overwhelming majority of people who call themselves Christian actually don’t believe the Bible at all; at least, not any of the passages pertaining to the nature of women, the superiority of the single life, and the natural authority of men over women.

    Go out and poll random Christians. Ask them if they believe a wife should submit to her husband in EVERYTHING (which is literally what the Bible says). If you can find even one, I’ll eat my socks.

    Women are better at multitasking? Fucking up several things at once is not multitasking.
