Churches are failing in some places because many followere are growing tired of the influence of modernism and moral relativsm.
Many churches today are not teaching the moral and social values which were taught just a generation before. People can recognize that what they are hearing from the pulpit is not the teaching of the Bible.
Preachers, peddling acceptance of the gay lifestyle, easy divorce and acceptance of socialist or even communist government are driving away their flocks in droves. Look at how scared the Anglican's are at the Vatican's easing the way for mass conversions.
Churches which hold to the biblical teachings on faith and morals ARE thriving. People have a craving for the TRUTH. Churches with orthodox teachings are thriving which can be seen by their standing room only attendance week after week.
We can't see it here in the U.S. because orthodox churches here are few and far in between.
You're not really a boring, fat ,balding accountant, on the contrary, you're a PRAYER WARRIOR!!!,

I find is disgusting that any organization private or public should consider history to be its own personal property.
Denying people access to the archives makes it no further advanced than it was in the dark ages.
How could you ever believe the history contained there was accurate?
Perhaps the scribes could have re-written history?
Even the OT speaks of the Nephinim, who were never supposed to handle holy books, infiltrated the temple because of lazy priests and they 'compromised' many of the manuscripts.
How could you even trust anything that came out of the vatican as far as being an accurate account of history?

And have you not heard of the Inquisition?

Is church attendance dropping rapidly?
Have the spiritual leaders themselves caused the demise by being deceitful in some way?
Has the church become more focused on political agendas than spiritual upbuilding?
Is there too much dissention and division within the churches?
Is there an upline or outside interferrence causing the churches to crumble?
Do you think the major religions are in free fall?
If so, what do you think is the cause of it?

Ok,I can see where it's been "debunked". (I hadn't seen that side of the argument before.)
However,understanding the way Jesuits infiltrate and control so much,who's to say they weren't also in charge of the debunking?

Who is Orchestrating the Fall of the Churches?

The churches will fall. As predicted in the book of Revelation.

The religions of this earth, have a kingdom over the kings of the earth. She is the Harlot, Babylon, found in Revelation chapters 17 and 18. The Harlot lives in luxury, mettles in politics and in her is found the blood of the prophets and all those slain on the earth.

God will put it into the hearts of the rulers of the earth to finally destroy her (Revelation chapter 17 v16&17).

No longer will people be married in her temples and churches (Revelation chapter 18 verse 23). You are not the only ones sick of Gods name being used in the name of war and exploitation.
Er yeah. Can we have a source for that, please?
