Christianity is not a religion, it is a faith and so it is different from the rest of the religion. And yes i do beleive that if you do not believe in Jesus Christ, you will not go to heaven. But then this is not because Christians are good and others are bad, it is just the privilege that Jesus gave by dying for us. You should understand that Christianity is different from the other religions in terms of that we are not judged always by our works. So once you really choose to believe in Jesus you go to heaven. Again this means understanding Bible and following it and it asks us to do good things. THe Egyptian slaves were not the ones who perished, they are the jews who inherited the land God promished them. The ones who perished were the Egyptian soldiers who folloed Moses and the slaves to kill him. On Persecution, Christians are supposed to go through prosecution in one form or the other. It is written in the BIble that we will go through the persecution while living in the world. So it is okey for people to prosecute us, it makes our faith stronger. Bathroom coffee: Please do not now start talking bad about the whole religion. I just wanted to tell you my opinion. All my friends are from other religions and i have no problem with that or they with mine. It is a personal choice to believe in a religion.
