But would their children? Their children's children?
If children are not indoctrinated, if christianity did not "spread the message", basically taking the human propagation of the faith out of the equation. Would it survive. That's the question.
I'll repeat the short form of the argument,
1. If Christianity is true then the Christian faith will probably not die out if Christians stop proselytizing.
2. The Christian faith will probably die out if Christians stop proselytizing.
3. Therefore Christianity is probably false.
Essentially we are asking, if the Christian faith stopped talking about Christianity full stop, would God intervene, or allow the True™ faith die out.
Well people would still have faith in God throughout the generations, but I don't view that really as God having that active of a force.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
