re: Something amazing to consider this Sunday

How did Muhammad become so big? Buddha?

Everyone worships something, but it’s all a shadow of the matchless, ineffable, Christ.

For example, proponents of the far left worship a "progressive" ideology that will leave them unsatisfied and inevitably eating their own. The same thing happened in 1793. Here we are again... yet Christianity has remained the same. Hmm.

But that’s just it, Jesus was not a poster boy for anything. When he was crucified his followers had all abandoned Him. The authorities were openly hostile to his teachings, and expressing any faith in His teachings would lead to persecution and even death. From a logical worldly viewpoint after the crucifixion of Christ nobody had anything to gain from continuing to follow Him and everything to lose. So why did they do it? Why didn’t the teachings of Christ die with Him on the cross?

Add onto the fact that Europe was heavily Christian and they went off spred their ideas and beliefs all around the world you can kind of see why

Dude, no one in Europe knew who Jesus was at the time of His crucifixion. It would not be for several years when Paul began his mission trips to Macedonia and later Rome that Europe even heard the name Jesus. And it would not be for another couple centuries when it was safe in Europe to be a Christian.
