Default Did you know? Protestantism will soon lose its status as the majority religion.?

A bare 51% now declare they are members of one of the Protestant denominations.
According to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
There are 3 main strands in Protestant churches. Evangelicals account for 26.3% of the adult population and
roughly one-half of all Protestants. Mainline Protestants represent 18.1% of adults and more than one-third of all Protestants.
The black Protestants count 6.9% of the adult population and slightly less than one-seventh of all Protestants.

The Pew survey cited research by scholars who have stated that it is
the mainline Protestant denominations that have suffered a major
decline in the last decades, while evangelical Protestants have grown.

did you know that it was prophesied almost 2000 years ago? no, of course you didn't....

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Yes, you are correct. As the world draws closer and closer to the end, the truth will be suppressed and deception will take hold. This is happening today, even with Protestantism.
But God is still in control; He still has a plan for the world and it will come to pass. This decline in truth was prophesied thousands of years ago and the Bible tells us this. Rebellion, ungodliness, love of self, humanism etc was all foretold thousands of years ago. It's no surprise to us Christians and it brings us closer and closer to the return of our King, Jesus!
