Christians are all over the world, why is there not a single area here that belongs to them?

The whole New Earth will be theirs, and sometime in the near future from the way things are going here on Earth.

Matthew 24:6

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Can you see this stuff happening in front of our faces?

The Holy Roman Empire ended with the Napoleonic Wars, not World War I.

[Opinion Owner]

Also the Catholic Church, Christian, owns the second highest amount of real estate in the world, right after the royal family, which owns 8 times as much. #3 on the list is the Eskimos.

[SotiCoto]

There was. Lots of it. But after many centuries they lightened up a bit...

... Then the muslims came along.

In any case, there are still loads of places that belong to christians. Just not so much whole countries any more, thankfully.

[strateguy632]

But what about vatican? An independent self governed state, by catholics.

Called holy see. A small country inside italy.

On list of countries

[sean1234]

To be technical, Catholics/Vatican and Christians are in 2 different categories.

Real Christians read the Bible 1st and then see if their preacher is right or wrong about what they are preaching and the Catholic Church is pure tradition, countless traditions and most only listen to the preacher.

-I've had many catholic relatives.

[Zylos]

WDYM? Christians own vast amounts of real estate, not to mention having an insane amount of unearned influence.

It's one of the most successful grifts in history.

[seeyounexttuesday]

unearned? Lmao.

[Zylos]

@seeyounexttuesday Is lying to people for 2K years hard work, or?

[seeyounexttuesday]

lol, there's plenty of evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ.

[zoeyby]

I think so too Just like Buddhism they have wealth, real estate and many beautiful women Where does their money come from? And we are still praying and wishing with a pious heart and finally helped them realize their wish.

[Zylos]

@seeyounexttuesday As a person, maybe. As a zombie, less so.

[Zylos]

Their money comes partly from their vast assets, partly from taxes, and partly from a shit ton of people paying them money.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Don’t cut yourself on your edge. Plenty of evidence of divinity of Christ as well.

[Zylos]

@seeyounexttuesday Do you believe in Santa too?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Are you autistic?

[Zylos]

@seeyounexttuesday So I'm guessing you believe in Santa.

[seeyounexttuesday]

And I’m guessing your autistic.

[Zylos]

@seeyounexttuesday You could be right, I did try to get that diagnosis, but got rejected.

[seeyounexttuesday]

not surprised.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Because even the bible says the world isn't for Christians, our purpose is to save people from the world, not become a part of it.

[Dargil]

Churches and their property belong to them and, of course, G0d.
Unlike Jews in the Levant, Turkey and Syria, they have no ancestral lands. Call.

[zoeyby]

The earth does not belong to mankind. What proof is needed, and what kind of church is there to talk about? Do you want to discuss the beginning of the universe?

[sean1234]

I don't think on those terms. Jesus owns the planet, the universe, the Godhead owns everything, nothing belongs to us in that way. The only land that I own is what I buy with my own personal money.

[jshm2]

Because Islam and the Mongols saved the world by destroying church rule. You would still be burning witches, gays and books, were it not for an end to Christian rule.

[genericname85]

pretty much every church on the planet belongs to them no? i just asked AI to calculate the area of all churches on the planet combined and apparently it ammounts to the size of a country like singapore.

[WonderingManII]

Our place isn't on this earth. It's in heaven. We are only here for a short while, life over, we go to live with the one we follow.

[BCRanger10]

The Holy Roman Empire was a thing until World War I.

[Anonymous]

no place belongs to Christians; God is everywhere. we just follow

[zoeyby]

People are born to be kind and pure, but they only change as the soul and body grow. Since we have been growing up in this world, we will not stop without change. Why should we change ourselves?

[Staximus]

Baa to that cult

[zoeyby]

I sent this question because a Christian paid attention to me and sent too many questions every day all hers feeling like she didn't have a job and was posting all day. I think she no longer knows the beauty of life and has forgotten herself

[Staximus]

People who are very religious waste so much time and energy worrying about what happens after they die. They could spend all that time living their life and doing something useful, helpful, or fun. They have no control over what happens after they die, there's no sense worrying about it.

[sean1234]

So either look in to the truth and realize God exists and be in happiness literally forever, or just die forever in willing ignorance?

I'll just take my chances Believing in words of the KJV Bible.

[Staximus]

@sean1234 your dumb Bible was written by a man, not a god; and has been edited over 400 times

[sean1234]

Ever heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient cuniform tablets? in other words... WROOOOOOONG! Remains the same since the beginning of time.

Its ironic...

Revelation 22:18-19

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

[Staximus]

@sean1234 all that bullshit was just written by some delusional dude who was feeling self-righteous. A god didn't float down and write that crap down, a man did.

[sean1234]

Prophets and apostles wrote down the bible, BUT, God told them to write it down. It's not just the words that are important, but the meanings. Like the 10 Commandments...

Can you say you do t follow at least some... shall not steal, kill etc... ?

I know people that just don't care or believe in any of it. Look at prisons, why do they exist?

[Staximus]

@sean1234 I can claim God told me to write down "go forth into the world and fuck aliens and leprechauns!" and it's just as creditable. I don't need the desire of going to heaven or the fear of going to hell as motivation to do the right thing. I'm not a piece of shit because it's just common sense to treat others how you want to be treated.

[sean1234]

Then why do jails exist? If it was common sense as you say, evil would have no meaning. No one would steal, kill, lie etc...

[BadApple69]

Where is here?
