Has Christianity Failed?

ABOUT a third of the earth’s population claim to be Christian. Yet, the world seems more politically divided and more violent than ever before.

Does this mean that Christianity as Jesus taught it is somehow flawed? Or, rather, does the flaw exist in the way many people apply Christ’s teachings?

    The only thing about Christianity that has failed is that many who profess to be followers of Christ live lives contrary to his teachings. God is probably shaking his head at the fact that people hate him because people have used Him as justification to do some of the evil things that have happened in history and still today. The only way people will take us (Christians) seriously is if we actually live by what we claim to believe, and a lot of what we do is NOT in line with what Christ teaches. (not judging others, being humble people and not self-righteous, not being lovers of money and being greedy, loving our fellow man, caring for those unable to care for themselves, being at peace with your enemies, etc)

    Christianity has failed in a sense in that only a third of the world is even nominally Christian, and many of those are Christian in name only and not always carrying out their faith. That said, Christianity has brought many good things to society.

    When two thirds of the world is not Christian, it's not really reasonable to blame all the troubles on the one third, is it?

    we need to update Christianity and give it a positive spin which is going to be difficult since we have Zionists stamping it out and they own publishing , media, business and politics and fashion and the art world

    but its not impossible

    The ways of the Christians are not the same of the wrathful world.

    Well, Jesus said that he did not come to bring peace but a sword. So things may be going according to his plans perhaps.

  • The problem lies with man wanting things their own way and not Gods way for man endures this suffering because of their teaching and practice of their inhumanity to man on one another. when they stop this attitude and return to God, Only then will all this suffering go away.
