Decline of christianity. But There is Marked Phenomenon.

  What is the best seller in the world? As you know, it’s the Bible. It seems natural to think of the long history of Christianity and the enormous speed of propagation during the revival.

    

 But do people read it a lot too? Bible have been sold so many, but is there still a large number of Christian nowaday? It’s worth of thinking because religion has largely effect on culture.

 

 Christianity has many believer as it’s included in the world’s three major religions. But as times go by, there is a decline of christianity. 

 

 According to <The Guardian>, 56% of European adults are non-religious, and Christianity may disappear within 100 years. 91% of the Czech Republic, 80% of Estonia and 75% of Sweden said they are non and many have never gone to church and do not pray. <New York Times> also reported a decrease of about 5 million Christian adults between 2007 and 2014.

 

 

 There is no clear reason for the drop, but in reference to <Fox News> and <Huffingtonpost>, 'skepticism of intellectual curiosity', 'out of honesty' and 'corruption within the church' is reported.

 

 Of course, not only Christianity, but also other religious people are diminishing. As mentioned in <The Guardian>, will Christianity disappear? How about other religions?

 

  There is an marked phenomenon. The number of people in one church is increasing rapidly. Of course, other churches have been seen in a sharp growth. But it’s another case. It is because about a year of education is required before entering this church, and almost 100% of people in the church attend worship on Sunday and Wednesday.

 

  Why do people go to the church? In interview, they said, 'I have learned the truth of the Word,' 'I think I have met the true God,' and 'I think I have sincere faith.' Now, where is this church?

 

 

 It’s Shincheonji Church of Jesus, The Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. In order to go to Shincheonji church, you have to take education and complete the course at the Zion Christian Mission Center. After finishing education at the Zion Christian Mission Center, the graduation ceremony will take place.

 

  A few days ago, about 6000 grads in Korea was and about 20000 people are waiting to take graduation. In addition, not only in Korea, but also in U.S., Germany, Australia and South Africa, more and more people believe in the Shincheonji Church. It’s really fast growing Shincheonji church.

 

  In an era during decline of christianity, many people come to Shincheonji Church although it takes a long time to learn and complete the course. Isn't it a place where people feel true faith?
