We are Persecuted but Christianity Is on the Rise!

Contrary to what's commonly believed by the Iglesia Ni Cristo® of Manalo founded in 1914 and the enemies of Truth, the Catholic Church (Christianity) is ON THE RISE! Here's a very informative article from ALETEIA!

10 Signs Christianity Is on the Rise

It may look different in the future, but that's a good thing

Christianity is a dying relic of an ancient past. The Internet is killing it. Science is killing it. Western sophistication is killing it. [Also Muslim extremists and Communism want to exterminate it! -CD2000] Right?

Wrong.

In many ways, Christianity is on the rise as never before—worldwide, and in America. Here are the ways we can tell:

1. Christianity is growing by leaps and bounds worldwide.

The research shows Christian numbers rising, not falling worldwide. "Christianity should enjoy a worldwide boom in the coming decades, but the vast majority of believers will be neither white nor European, nor Euro-American,” writes Philip Jenkins of Baylor University, author of The Next Christendom.

In America, this will mean that as white descendants of Europeans fall off a demographic cliff, they will be replaced by the growing Southern Christian and Catholic populations.

2. Nominal Christianity is dead—and that’s a good thing.

Meanwhile, in America, research showing that Christian numbers are tanking is a little misleading. What it really shows is a fall in the number of people who call themselves Christians but have never darkened the door of a Church. We no longer feel we have to dishonestly mark the “Christian” box, and we now feel it's okay to be honest and mark the “atheist” box—but this shows health rather than weakness.

It is an interesting dynamic: In the West, the nominal Christianity that was inherited unthinkingly is disappearing and in the East and South, real Christianity is a rapidly growing grassroots movement. Books like God's Century by Monica Duffy Toft of Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and God Is Back by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge of The Economist are trying to figure out what that will mean.

Muslim Leaders Declare Aim Of World Domination. Rome, London, Spain, Paris, America, ISIS

MUST WATCH!

Our political policies have failed us when Muslim immigrants are UNWILLING to ASSIMILATE within our societies. They refuse to pledge allegiance to our country's CONSTITUTION but to Islam and Muhammad. They want SHARIAH to be the law within our democratic countries.  Now, every Muslim is making headlines with a CLEAR INTENTION of ISLAMICIZING the Christian world (secular world) including ROME and the VATICAN STATES.  Our POLITICIANS have failed us and our RELIGIOUS LEADERS do not directly condemn violent verses form the Quran and Hadiths out of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. If we keep silent, soon ISLAM will SILENCE our rights to voice our objection.  While we are still DEMOCRATIC, let's say NO TO ISLAMIZATION and NO TO SHARIAH!

IT'S TIME! We need another CRUSADES!

German Muslims must obey law, not sharia

Germany, haaretz.com - Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday that Muslims must obey the constitution and not sharia law if they want to live in Germany. The country is currently debating the integration of its 4 million-strong Muslim population.

In the furor following a German central banker's blunt comments about Muslims failing to integrate, moderate leaders, including President Christian Wulff, have urged Germans to accept that "Islam also belongs in Germany."

The debate comes against a backdrop of U.S. and British concerns over the threat of terrorist attacks by militant Islamists living in Germany, with Berlin attempting to tone down such fears.

Merkel faces corresponding discussions inside her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) about whether she is conservative enough, and the center-right leader's latest comments seemed directed at those who think Wulff went too far in appeasing the Muslims.

Wulff, who has a largely ceremonial role, used a speech on Sunday celebrating two decades of German reunification to urge harmonious integration of immigrants who, until a decade ago, were considered "guest workers" who would eventually return home.

But whereas the media stressed Wulff's comments about Islam, Merkel - the daughter of a Protestant pastor brought up in East Germany, who leads a predominantly Catholic party - said Wulff had emphasised Germany's "Christian roots and its Jewish roots."

German Christian Democrats often cite shared Judeo-Christian values rooted in the early history of Christianity because of sensitivities about the Holocaust.

"Now we obviously also have Muslims in Germany. But it's important in regard to Islam that the values represented by Islam must correspond with our constitution," said Merkel.

"What applies here is the constitution, not sharia," she stated.

Merkel said Germany needed imams "educated in Germany and who have their social roots here," and concluded: "Our culture is based on Christian and Jewish values, and has been for hundreds of years."

Opinion polls suggest many Germans sympathize with the views of an outspoken member of Germany's Bundesbank, Thilo Sarrazin, who, in speeches and a book, accused Muslims of sponging off welfare, refusing to integrate and achieving poor levels of education.

Sarrazin, who also offended Jews with comments about genetics, was forced to quit the central bank.

Merkel has tried to accommodate both sides of the debate, saying police should not be afraid of entering immigrant neighborhoods but also that Germans must accept mosques becoming part of their landscape.

America is a Christian Nation! So as the Islands of Phillip!

Sarah Palin's honest uncensored commentaries on political correctness more trustworthy than those politicians who always says things out of political correctness. We must uphold your Christian roots.
