How does Christianity affect its followers?

Answer 1

It lets a believer understand the world he/she lives in and most importantly the joy of eternal life that God promised his followers. a) Christians continued to use Latin and Greek and, thus, assured the preservation of these languages while enriching them with new vocabulary and conceptual frameworks.b) Christian patronage put an end to the building bust of the third-century world and created a new and dynamic architecture. c) Christian art spread widely and found creative ways to reinterpret classical motifs and styles while adding new ones. d)Christian poets carried on the classical tradition. By assigning power to celibate men, Christianity created a new kind of society that also was a "democracy of sin." e) Christian martyrs and saints created a new kind of hero-figure. f) A new morality assured women a more secure place in society. g) Slowly but surely, Christian ethics pervaded secular law.

Answer 2

Affect on other Beliefs -There are many other religions that look at Christianity on both positive and negative lights. In other beliefs, Christians are known for their intolerance of any other faith (but I AM NOT saying that all Christians are like that.) Other faiths can look up to SOME Christians and find positivity in their good ethics and ect. In history -There have been MANY very positive and SO MANY horrificly negative effects that Christianity has had on the world. You have Jesus Christ who taught people to believe, but then you see what horrible things have come from Christianity -

• Crusades
• Witch hunt
• Violent spread of Christianity in Rome/Europe - end of pagans

And other things of the sort.

Christianity has little or no effect on the lives of most people in Western countries.

Some observant Christians dedicate an hour or two to church attendance on Sundays, but give little thought to Christianity during the remainder of the week. And the great majority of Christians do not even attend church, so for them Christianity is little more than a vague notion that they feel they ought to support. Some proportion of people, varying from around 15 per cent in the United States to as many as 80 per cent in Scandinavian countries, are not even Christians and their lives are essentially unaffected by Christianity.

Answer 3

Christians should do the things Jesus Christ taught us to do. We should show, Love, Joy, Peace, help others, lead the lost to Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit so that He may impart Gifts upon us and be the Light of the World, Salt of the Earth

Answer 5

Christianity is unique in that when a person becomes a believer in Jesus Christ he/she is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. The comfort, witness, guidance, power, etc affects the Christian in very positive ways and most usually by being obedient to God and His Word. A person led by the Spirit has the strong desire to please God and shun all sin (although shunning all sin is impossible).

Answer 6

For many Christians, Christianity is a source of comfort, identity and community values. For some it results in a lifelong struggle, particularly for those unfortunate enough to have sufferred abuse as children, or those who feel they can not reconcile Christian beliefs with what they believe is the reality of Christianity. So, the effects of Christianity are mixed, but largely positive.

When Christians go to war in support of religious beliefs, most notably during the Crusades, then this can result in a waste of life and opportunity.
