IN the NEWS - U.S. "Christians" Turn their Back on God

Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

 

"A new survey shows that the majority of Americans no longer believe that Jesus is the path to salvation and instead believe that being a good person is sufficient.

As part of the ongoing release of the Arizona Christian University-

based Cultural Research Center's American Worldview Inventory, the latest findings — exploring perceptions of sin and salvation — from George Barna, the group's director, show that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that having some kind of faith is more important than the particular faith with which someone aligns. 

Sixty-eight percent who embrace that notion identify as Christians, including 56% of self-described evangelicals and 62% of those who identify as Pentecostals. Sixty-seven percent of mainline Protestants and 77% of Catholics also embraced that idea, the findings show.

Slightly over half of Christian respondents said they believe someone can attain salvation by "being or doing good," a figure that includes, 46% of Pentecostals, 44% of mainline Protestants, 41% of evangelicals, and 70% of Catholics.

58% of Americans believe that no absolute moral truth exists and that the basis of truth are factors or sources other than God.
Seventy-seven percent said that right and wrong is determined by factors other than the Bible.
Fifty-nine percent said that the Bible is not God's authoritative and true Word and 69% said people are basically good."
