Rejoice Heathens, Pagans, Infidels, Atheists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddists and anti-christs. There is coming a time when the Christian church and it's beliefs will be done away with. There will only be underground type's, but for the most part it will be gone.

Just so you know, I'm a Christian and I'm making this statement because it's in the Word of God, the Holy Bible.----------------

So which Christians? Is it everyone who claims to be a Christians? Does it matter which denomination they align their beliefs too? Do you have a schedule on when they will be all gone? What about young children who dont have belief yet or an understanding of religion? Will they go too?

That's one thing I hate about religion.

Everybody is always coming and going, lol. Nobody ever sticks around to accomplish anything.

Only those who have truthfully accepted Christ in their heart.

No. See previous answer.

Do you have a schedule on when they will be all gone?
Matthew 24:35-37 (New International Version)
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
36"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

What about young children who dont have belief yet or an understanding of religion? Will they go too?
From what I've read, if they have not reached their age of accountability then they will be in heaven with the Lord.

“truthfully accepted”? That’s a pretty subjective term. Seems like there should be a more rigid test. Some may “truthfully accept” but also prefer to kill in the name of God. Some “truthfully accept” and prefer to be apathetic towards acts committed in the name of their religion. That is by no means a list of all Christians, but they get to go too because they feel they have “truthfully accepted” Christ?

So it doesn’t matter anymore on interpretation. Everyone can have their own interpretation that can either justify their killing in the name of God or living a peaceful and tolerant life with others in the name of God. Both are the same just as long as they “truthfully accepted” Christ?

I sure wish there was a time, it always seems there is a religios leader who keeps informing people the end times are near. Do they know about the above scripture? Or do they have another verse they use or interpretation?

What determines “age of accountability”? Is it 18? Is that the age in the bible? Was it always 18? Is it different from men and women? If there isnt an exact age, do they have to take an "accountability test"?

Good question. God will be the final judge, but it seems to me a truly changed Christian would have serious issues killing in the name of God.

What do you mean by interpretation? I thought you were asking about the different denominations.

Thessalonians 1:9-10 (New International Version)
9for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
There are others of course, in Revelation especially. I just don't have the time to look them up for ya.

I would suspect it's different for everyone. Some mentally handicapped adults, for example, may not have the ability to understand God's word, or much else for that matter, and never reach the age of accountability.

We've discussed this before, but show me where in the Bible there is the "age of accountability"? Hate to brake it to you but it's not there

According to Hopi prophecy the world will not end until "the bearded white people from across the ocean" accept the Hopi Way, the way of peace

What does the Hopi phophecy have to do with Christianity being eradicated? No argument intended, I just don't understand? Are you giving us another belief to consider? Thanks
