Quote:The Bible never states this and even if it did, you fail to take into account that God has never ceased revealing Himself to them that seek Him.
That is why according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in 2010 there were 2.18 billion Christians around the world, nearly a third of the global population.
So much for Him only revealing Himself to one group of people!
Nice manipulation of the numbers there.
Accepting your number of 2.18 billion Christians it should be noted that these are divided up amongst 41,000 denominations - most of whom claim to be the one true path. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chr...ominations)
If these are the people that God has communicated his message to - how has it gone so badly wrong? Why has the almighty. all-knowing God made such a mess of his communications?
At the same time - how reliable is that figure of 2.18 billion? Who keeps the records? Who updates them? If a Catholic becomes an atheist does the church reduce their number by 1?
I'm guessing its on birth records - in which case we have very little idea of how many of those adherents stick with their faith.
I'd also how question how much double counting goes on. Mr. Smith is born a Catholic, changes to Lutheran, marries and then changes again to JW. What is the betting there are 3 Mr. Smiths listed?
Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
