Future map of religions reveals a world of change

[OldSchool2]

from RNS:

"Muslims will overtake Christians by the end of this century.

"India, now mostly Hindu, will become the world’s largest Muslim country.

"The numbers of people with no religious identity will soar in the United States and Europe, but the unaffiliated will lose worldwide market share as Christians maintain a steady growth.

"All these changes are drawn from the Pew Research Center’s new projections, released Thursday (April 2), that map global faith traditions and how they’re likely to shift by 2050.

"The report says nothing about the transcendent message of any religion. It makes no claims about believers’ level of devotion or practice.

"Instead, it’s a story of nitty-gritty statistics: Which group is having babies (lots of babies or just a few)? Which ones have many young people, and which are slowly graying out? Whose followers are on the move — from one nation to another, or switching religions...?"

looks to me like we need to convert a lot of Muslims....     but then again I'll be shocked if we reached 2050 at all....      I'll be 103...

I'll be in a plot at St. Michael's.

Muslims are on the increase, but Christianity is also on the decrease.   More people than ever are leaving the Christian faith altogether, thanks to the fact that young people (and some older people) are now seeing the Bible, Christianity and Christian values as irrelevant.

Statistics and surveys are incapable of predicting any changes in religious demographics especially where Islam is concerned. Because abandoning Islam is punishable by death many ex-Muslims do not report their loss of faith.

Islam is on the rise because they are able to marry up to four wives and have multiple children from those wives.   Even converts from Islam don't really offset that increase from birth rate.

That's true but reproduction rates are slowed down.

As you have rightly pointed out though, population increase is in their favour which is one other reason why God has put a time limit on this.

If prophecy isn't fulfilled by a certain time Muslim demographics will be phenomenal. We keep hearing these reports, but the end of this century is never going to happen (well it will - but it won't be the World as we know it).

That's the reason that I'm not scared by such statistics. I keep reading reports that suggest by the year 2050 the majority of Europe's population will be Muslim and so on... sometimes the reports differ. It's not always 2050 sometimes it's 2040 or even more pessimistically 2030. What these reports don't take into account though is Biblical prophecy.

Now even if you're an Atheist and are not aware of prophecy, you're still short-sighted if you don't predict any future wars, civil wars, disease and other such things. These statistical predictions are all made on the assumption that Muslim breeding will carry on unhindered, but it won't carry on unhindered. Muslims are killing each other at an alarming rate and who's to say that eventually we won't go and make war on them ourselves?.

Pray

 

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:7-8

 

For The

 

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Mark 18:6

 

Dear Muslim

 

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:47-48

 

May The LORD Jesus

 

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:44-45

 

Have Mercy On The Sinner

 

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. Proverbs 8:36

 

Hosanna~! Save Now LORD, Save Now~!

Leaving the Bible behind for the Quran is like condemning the author of all life to free Barabbas.
