Sorry, but I think you are much mistaken about the take over of Europe by Islam. Would you like to also give me evidence of the fact that Slavery started in Africa? As far as I can see, the southern/central part of Africa is bursting with Christian activity, especially in places like Mozambique, Tanzania and surrounding countries.

And the fact that Christians are being persecuted in Africa is surely a sign that Christianity is having an effect there. The faith that many Africans have, and the number of miracles that are happening in Africa I think show that Africa is blessed in many ways. And I would disagree that South Africa is in 3rd world status - although this has absolutely no relevance to how Christian it is.

Now i'm not saying that most European citizens are really practising Christians, but I would also argue that many Americans who claim to be Christians, go along to church etc, are also not truely following Christ. [Please note i'm not making any personal judgements, just an overall assessment of the situation as I see it]

This link should be able to help you with the History of slavery in Africa http://www.historyteacher.net/GlobalStudies/Africa_EarlyHistory.htm
The 3rd world staus has much to do with christianity.
You do not see majority Christian countries as 3rd world countries.
And yes of course Americans as all people are at different stages in their walk with Christ.
But yiu will simply see a larger % Americans attempting the walk with Christ than you will with any other country on earth.

You do see majority Christian countries in 3rd world status actually. For example; Kenya, Zambia, Ghana, Democratic republic of Congo and other surrounding countries.

Kenya is only 45 % Christian
Religions: Protestant 45%, Roman Catholic 33%, indigenous beliefs 10%, Muslim 10%, other 2%

Zambia does not seperate Christian from Catholic in this demographic
Christian 75%, traditional beliefs 23%, small Muslim and Hindu groups Same with ghanaReligions: Christian 60%, Indigenous beliefs 20%, Muslim 20%Congo only 20 % Christian
Roman Catholic 50%, Protestant 20%, Kimbanguist 10%, Muslim 10%, other syncretic sects and indigenous beliefs 10%
You see 3rd world countries are not majority Christian.
If they do become majority Vhristian they will not stay 3rd world status.

I think maybe spread the word that Islam is an ANTI CHRIST and fits endtime prophecy to a T.

Actually, it does not fit to a T.

Revelation seems pretty clear that there's only going to be 1 Antichrist, and that it will be one man. Since Islam is a religion with roughly a billion followers, I don't see how it fits the bill.

Pehaps if Islam was united under a single leader, in the same way that Catholicism has the Pope, then that one Islamic leader would be a contender for the Antichrist... but this figure hasn't shown up yet.

As for Islam itself, the Bible does warn us against false religions, but haven't there always been false religions, even before Islam?

Africa still has slavery it started in Africa and has never stopped existing in Afraica.

Wasn't the slavery the fault of the Europeans though? I don't think you can blame the Africans for becoming slaves.

South Africa for a time was somehwhat a civilized Christian country but now has reverted to almost third world status.

While South Africa can't be regarded as a first world country, I see no way that it has reverted. And it was in no way a civilised Christian country while apartheid was in place.

Kenya is only 45 % Christian

Since when are Catholics not Christian? :scratch:

You see 3rd world countries are not majority Christian.
If they do become majority Vhristian they will not stay 3rd world status.

I fail to see how third world status has anything to do with religion. Even if it is true that most third world countries aren't predominantly Christian (and you haven't shown this), correlation does not imply causation.
