Will China become Christian? Veteran reporter David Aikman thinks so.
China's current population is about 1.3 billion, which he says includes about 70 million Protestants and about 12 million Catholics. In 1949, when China had a population of about 500 million, 4 million were Christians.

This is like what we economists call "economies of scale". China, barring killing Christians, with it's large population, only needs a small percentage to become Christian to turn it into the largest Christian nation on Earth.
It's like the fact Clear Channel owns only 12% of all radio stations nationwide and is #1 and considered a "monopoly" by idiots.

It must seem like a cruel joke on the devil, that whenever Christians are most oppressed, there they thrive and burgeon. Old Scratch just can't win in the end, can he.

The bible clearly teaches the conquest of the world through Jesus Christ. From the mustard seed learn a lesson.

China's current population is about 1.3 billion, which he says includes about 70 million Protestants and about 12 million Catholics. In 1949, when China had a population of about 500 million, 4 million were Christians. "That is a 20-fold increase in Christians, but the population increased only 1.5 times," he said. Actually, the population increased by 2.6, not 1.5. That being said, I think many interesting things will come out of China in the next few years. As the people get wealthier how much longer will they accept the rule of the parasitic Communist Party, especially when the party doesn't even believe in Communism any more?

Americans must do everything possible to encourage the Christianization of China and to convince the Chinese government of the advantages of Christianity.In addition to other immeasurable benefits, it is the best antidote to Islam.
The best way to get rid of something undesirable is to replace it with something desirable.
