Politics What caused the decline of Christianity?

the verse you quoted, to strike someone on the cheek means to insult. A slap in the face literally means to insult/denigrate someone

Doesn’t he cancel that out though:

38 “You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. ' 39 But I tell you, But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.“
 
Christianity isn’t declining the only thing that declined is the church’s power. The church had a monopoly on morality now the media does. that’s all that had changed

It means you should not seek retribution but rise above it
1 Peter 3:9
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

There's a man in this video who's responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Palestinian and Yemeni civilians. And this is how the Arabs receive him.

"muh based muslims" yeah, right. I feel like this is just one step behind the point where they actually start offering their own wives to foreign infidels.

Stop clitty-leaking at Bedouin Greatness. --- Also, Trump is leaving Netenyahu and Israel in the dirt while embracing the Muslim and Arab nations; Such as Iran, and the Houthis and even Hamas. --- Do you have any grasp on geo-politics? Or even recent news? I could understand your post, If it was Biden or Kamala. --- Who were actually behind the genocide, fueling it, and supporting Israel. --- Unlike Trump. Who, Didn't do this under his Administration and Presidential term. --- He's actually doing the opposite, As of late. --- Your 'clip' of Arabs bowing to Zionists is actually the opposite; It's literally Trump shitting on Israel for once and embracing the Arab states.

How is the low church bad in your view? In my view high church allows the churches to decide Scripture for themselves rather than with a confession, so they get faggier.

because they lack any influence in society evangelical split off from mainline protestants are often just rooms with a single pastor a local anca perish is in a mall while the episcopalian one has had generations of followers donating to it and looks like those catholic churches you see online papists cumming over
 
Secularism gutted the West, and what was left was a cultural vacuum. Islam didn’t take over, it filled the space that Christians abandoned.

If Christians want to survive, they need to return to the roots: Orthodoxy, tradition, discipline. Not soft platitudes but real spiritual warfare. Christ isn’t some vague symbol of love. He’s the Logos. The nations belong to Him. But He won’t be honored by people who’d rather scroll on their phones than defend the faith.

>Do not repay evil with evil

Vague as all hell award. Even if that’s not the intention, you can’t blame people for interpreting that as pacifist mentality.

Well yeah, the Bible isn't just a collection of bite sized wisdom for joe schmo to interpret, that's why we have the Church tradition to preserve the correct teachings

Muslims don’t seem to have this issue though. They’re even encouraged to lie and infiltrate other systems to spread their religion.
