What is Biblical Christianity? The word Christianity isn’t in the Bible.
Can someone give us the Biblical term for the religion of Jesus Christ?
Yes, it is called Judaism. Jesus was a believing Jew for his entire life and ministry. He criticized certain practices and interpretations of certain religious leaders of his day, but Jesus never abrogated or advocated any abandonment of the holy scriptures, faith in God, or living in accordance with the essential moral teachings or code one finds given us in those scriptures. Indeed, a reasonable interpretation of his ministry is that he sought to emphasize the essential moral character of the laws or rules, coming as he said to ‘fulfill’ or explain them in a more essential or complete fashion, rather than to overturn or invalidate any of them.
And while Christianity eventually came to have its own identification, the common Judeoj-Christian faith tradition teaches the same moral standards and values from the same holy scriptures, which we believe derive from the same One God and Creator.
We don’t need to read the word “Christianity” in the Bible to read, and follow, the Bible’s central moral teachings.
(Indeed, it would be an unfair imposition to demand that a certain word, one that probably did not develop or become commonplace for some time after the end of the Biblical canon, somehow be found inside that body of writings.)
At any event, that’s how I sees it.
Since you asked.

The word "Christianity" is not in the Bible, but the word "Christian" is. So using the word Christianity to describe the faith practiced by those the Bible called Christians seems quite acceptable.
