Prison Demographics are Changing.


Apparently Roman Catholics are now the predominate faith in prisons in England and Wales.

This has not been the case since the reformation.

The main cause is not due to those sinning Catholics being more sinful than anyone else as their own priests would have us believe, but because the Anglicans who have up until only a few decades ago had been well over 50% of the population of the united kingdon, inside or outside prison, have fallen drastically in number.

The Church of England is losing members to agnosticism with alarming speed.

Many have said the Church of England will need to die before it can have a rebirth. It has become a political tool of power to keep power within the priesthood when the power actually belongs to God.

The Church needs to remove all the people who are there as being the easiest place to be and replaced them with Christians:
  • Who believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary.
  • Who believe in miracles.
  • Who believe that Jesus was sinless and that he lived in the Holy Spirit.
  • Who believe that Jesus died for our sins as prophesied in Isaiah 53 and elsewhere in the Old Testament; that he is the prophesied Messiah.
  • Who believe in the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Who believe in His ascension into heaven and that he seated at the right hand of God the Father.
  • Who believe that Jesus forgave all sin for all time from the beginning to the end.
  • The main thing you need is faith in His deed to be forgiven.
  • Who believe that to be forgiven you must forgive.
  • Who must keep short accounts of your sin, when you sin and being imperfect you will, tell God that you regret that sin and ask for forgiveness and then try not to repeat that sin again.
  • Who Love the Lord God with all their being and love their neighbours equally, as they are a part of God.
  • Who believe in the omnipresence of God that we are in Him and He is in us.
  • Who must love themselves just as much, because we are temples to God.
The Church has no part in forgiving our sins as that was done once and for all by Jesus Christ for all time. There is nothing more that needs to be done, other than to repent our own sin and forgive our sin and other's sin. 

There seems to be a belief that the Church has some power as to who can be forgiven when that is totally in the hands of Jesus Christ. You have to have faith and you need to leave all sin you encounter at his feet and then it is His decision.  If you do not have faith then there is unlikely to be any hope.

The bread and wine were shared in the Bible at every meal in all Christian’s houses. There was no control as to who could or could not give people bread and wine.

These last two comments are demonstrations as to how organized Churches not necessarily C. of E. have taken power from Christians.
