Something truly baffles me

[DRS81]

Ok like, there's about 15 members who log on per day,

15 at the most..and there's about 4,000,000,000 adults in the world.

So what is the rest of the world doing, are they not interested in Christianity or are they not interested in forums.

If this doesn't sum up Matt 7:13. geez.

Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.

Wow, that's a good point Gary.
I didn't even think of that.
What else do you think it could be.
15 people to billions of people is a big hole,
I'm thinking there's more reasons than money.
Your thoughts.

The rest of the world is the rest of the word.If there are 4,000,000,000 in the World how many of those people do you think genuinely love our Lord?How many are said Christians and how many are Born Again?But there are other messageboards as well.But then that is a scary thought.Some of them are not very nice.

That would probably make it kinda hard for them to buy a computer to be able to log on to the forums. More than likely, everyone on her is in the top 10% of the richest people in the world, and definitely in the top 20%.

Not everyone has the same priorities.

Well, you're saying 3 billion are out, so that leaves 4 more billion people equaling 7 billion right now.

So you're saying there's 4 billion more people who don't care for "the forum".

Wowies, that's just a lot of people. Priorities as in?...

Just because they are not on this forum doesn't mean they are not on other similar forums. I'm sure there are a lot of them. Especially if you search in different languages. Also I bet the majority of Christians do not participate in a discussion forum. That doesn't mean they don't care, they have fellowship in person. Whenever I ask people if they use a Christian website for discussions the answer is always no.

Yes,that is true.

The forums I've been too (and this is from what I've seen).....no more than 30 people log on per day. That's 3,999,999,970 people still out there.

You often see maybe 12 that are logged in and 100 that are just viewing that are not members.I have noticed some of the Christian websites are pretty slow right now and that includes CF.

I thought there was closer to 6 billion people in the world? Even though only a few log on there are guest viewing.

 

[DRS81]

In the whole scheme of things, it's just a lot of people unaccounted for. I'm hoping to clarify the significance of the word billion.

 

[Kathi]

Well,to sum it up there are alot of people in our world

There's 7 billion right now.

 

[TOG]

There's 7 billion right now.

Out of those 7 billion people, only about 450 million have English as their first language. Another 500 million have English as a second language. Since you have to be able to read and write English to take part on this forum, that rules out over 6 billion people. Of those that are left, many who are Christians do not have computers or do not have an interest in social media if they do. Many others are on other forums or some other kind of social media. I don't think that the number that longs on here is any real indication of the spiritual state of the world.

You might be surprised at those who do not have a computer.When I go to the library there are a bunch of people on those computers.

Very true, good points. Money, language and non religious people. Interesting.
