The future of christianity is a church without bureaucracy and hierarchy. A church where people give their best and their need fulfilled. A place where one can strive to become gods image and bring paradise to this world.

a spectral Christianity, a ghost, one that denies the incarnation and the cross. your vision is bourgeois and utterly the opposite of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[@Joeonline26]

So not Christianity at all then🙄🤦‍♂️ No hierarchy? Having "needs fulfilled"? What on earth are you talking about??? Sounds like you want a moralistic, therapeutic deism, not Christianity

[@adrummingdog2782]

Hierarchy is inevitable, it's the way the world exists.

So much, then, for Paul's remarks about the Church's role as the body of Christ in 1 Corinthians 12 (nevermind Romans 12), and that the assignments given to those in the body are received, according to the apostle, from none other than God (v. 28f). The drivel peddled by the OP is precisely why Christianity is on the wane in the West; which for most is an indicator of its demise. There is no future corresponding to such prognostications; but rather mantras of wishful thinking that the progressives in the West tell, praying they can convince themselves before dwindling into oblivion of having imparted some lasting legacy.

When you say something is the future, particularly as an intellectual, you're kind of hoping to nobble the future aren't you? You want it to be a self-fulfilling prophesy - forget about that other stuff, it's not the past now but it will be in the future. The future will determine what the future of Christian thinking is, not John Milbank or any other present-day person.
