Spiritual Bankruptcy of the population of Britain
The findings of this very recent poll are staggering, and must horrify every true believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, living in this country.
British people are more likely to believe in ghosts than a
Creator – and self-identified Christians are more likely to believe in aliens
than the devil
Most British people say Britain
is – and should be – a Christian country, and self-identified Christians make
up around half of the population. But it's partly a cultural term – last year we found only 55% of self-identified Christians
believe there is a God; the year before we found only 23% of the total
population say they are very (3%) or fairly (20%) religious.
A new analysis from YouGov Profiles of nearly 12,000 people
who affiliate with Christianity and a control set of 39,000 British people
representative of the whole population reveals some startling juxtapositions in
belief. Asked to say which of 14 spiritual or paranormal phenomena they
definitely do or do not believe in, only 41% of Christians say they definitely
believe in a Creator while 18% say they do not.
Christians are more likely to believe in fate or destiny
(46% definitely believe, 18% do not), not necessarily a tenet of Christianity,
than either heaven (44% believe, 19% do not) or an everlasting soul (36%
believe, 19% do not).
I feel totally inadequate to express my profound sorrow and despair when I read these findings. Brethren and sisters in Christ, "tabernacling" in this land, this should bring us to our knees! We need to cry out to our God for His mercy to us-ward; praying for those in authority over us, as we remind our hearts that the powers that be are appointed by God. We need to flood this nation with the Word of God, redeeming the time. May our gracious God deal kindly with us, tempering His righteous indignation with His grace, for the sake of His Name, and His Son.
