How might Christianity still be valid even if Christians don't live up to biblical ideals?
Christianity can still be valid as long as it provides an ideal as a moral guide, as well as being a source of comfort for those in need. The Christian message can be valid whether or not its claims to a divine origin are true, and whether or not many find its ideals to be unattainable.
What else can I help you with?
Can a biblical lifestyle prevent bullying?
Given that the bible itself is a narrative that is filled with violence, it is not apparent to me how a biblical lifestyle would prevent bullying. One might argue that a true Christian would not bully other people, which may be true, although there is a huge amount of violence in the history of Christianity (the Inquisition comes to mind, and the Crusades) but one can argue that this does not represent true Christianity, it merely represents Christians who misinterpreted their religion. But then, it would always seem to be possible for Christians to misinterpret their religion. Religion has hardly saved the world from violence, and religion has been around for a very long time, and has had lots of opportunities to make the world more peaceful if that was indeed what religion has to offer us. So I am very skeptical that a biblical lifestyle can prevent bullying.
How should Christians solve the issue of nominal Christians?
A:First of all, committed Christians should decide whether the issue of nominal Christianity is a proble for them to solve and, if so, why. In a world of free will, some will choose to be committed Christians, some will choose a loose affiliation with Christianity - nominal Christians - and some will choose to identify themselves as atheists or agnostics.If some Christians do not wish to associate with nominal Christians, they could challenge those people, and quietly ask them to make a decision between Christianity and agnosticism. Other Christians might prefer to keep nominal Christians engaged, in the hope that they may one day make a commitment to the faith. Forcefully preaching to nominal Christians is unlikely to work and could arguably be regarded as immoral behaviour.
What Religions do they have in Ethiopia?

Christianity arose in what portion of the Roman Empire?
That would be the Roman province of Judea, though people were first called Christians in Antioch (which might have been in a different province).
Do Catholics believe in the same things as Christians?
Somethings they do and somethings they don't. However the most important difference is about salvation. Catholics believe Jesus died so that we can earn our way to heaven by good works. Christians believe the Bible which says we are saved because God accepts the death of Jesus as a satisfactory payment for our sin. Catholics have other non-Biblical beliefs too, they put the traditions of the Catholic Church before God's word, they pray to saints, they believe Mary intercedes for them and many other non-Biblical beliefs.
Why did the pope want to capture the holy land?
One reason was that he felt that is was the duty of Christians to seize back the Holy Land from the Turks and felt this might result in the uniting of Christianity.
The history of the Islam veil?
If you look in a picture of Mary with Jesus in some pictures, you see her wearing a veil. You might or might nit know this, but most christians are supposed to ear a veil in Christianity, so veils were even before Islam started, its just that christians nowadays aren't as good of believers as they were back then.
When i applied the scientific method to Christianity what were the observations i used to form a hypothesis about the bible?
When applying the scientific method to Christianity, observations might include historical texts, archaeological findings, and the consistency of biblical narratives with historical events. These observations could lead to a hypothesis about the Bible’s reliability as a historical document. Additionally, one might examine the impact of biblical teachings on societies and cultures, assessing both empirical outcomes and anecdotal evidence in forming conclusions about its relevance and truth. This process encourages a critical examination of faith through the lens of empirical evidence and reason.
In what year was Christianity found?
This is not a question that has a clear answer. One might say that it began around 29 AD, with the beginnings of the belief among Jesus' disciples that he had been raised from the dead. Others might argue that it began around 325 AD, when Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire. Still another possibility is the period around 80-100 AD, when most of the books that later became the New Testament were written. Many Christians celebrate Pentacost, the day when the disciples began preaching, as the "birthday of the church."
Why might Christians have borrowed ways of worship form the Jewish religion?
The first Christians were Jewish.
What were the circumstances that led to the emergence of Christianity as a world religion?
Without Constantine's decision to adopt Christianity as the religion of empire, Christianity might have remained a minor religion in the Roman Empire. Without Constantine being followed by ruthless Christian successors as emperors, his establishment of Christianity in a favoured position in the empire could have fallen away, as former pagans who became Christians for political and financial advantage returned to their traditional faiths. It was the dynastic succession of Constantine that provided the circumstances for Christianity to become a world religion.
Which is the most practiced religion in the world?
