Christianity
Contemporary Holy Figure
Does a figure need to be Christian to inspire holiness?
No. I don't think a person needs to be Christian to inspire holiness
I think this because...
Being holy is to be good and have righteousness
I think that people who are not Christian can be good and have righteousness too
Any person can inspire holiness

Evolution Of Christianity
How Christianity will evolve beyond 2018
I think Christianity will adjust and change with the modern world beyond 2018
I think that if Christianity doesn't change with the modern world and with society then many people will leave the religion
I think with modern changes with the religion more people will join and be proud to be Christian
A religion shouldn't be stuck in its old roots while the world is changing for the better
