I am at work but anyway let me add something: Christianity, is more a relationship than a religion that you have with God. If you go to CHurch, good works, bible study you are a Christian but still you need to have a 'relationship' with God. How can you have that relationship? By believing in Him, living a holy and sanctified life, well not all 'Christians' are a good example of Christ either, not all men are perfect , we are all sinners, thats why we needed a Saviour, and Jesus came down as a humble human, a perfect and ultimate sacrifice, no greater love than he who died for all men. Biggest difference between Christianity and other religions is that, other religions is an attempt to go to Heaven, by doing good works, worship, and etc but Christianity is an attempt from above to let you into heaven and have eternal life, Christians too do good work but not to get saved, or please anyone, good work comes to your heart when you have Jesus in you. Also want to add, Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian Statesman once said, "I like your Christ, but not your Christians", it is true that through the history Christians have not acted like Christ, even today, the teachings of Christ: 'Love your enemies','If someone slaps you in the right cheek, turn the other cheek', There so many great teachings, but again he was not just a great teacher but a God, Who died and resurrected, believing in Him gives you eternal Life, but this lifetime is the oppurtunity for all to accept Him or reject Him, everyone has their own personal choice, you cant even save your own father or mother. It was the great Commission of Jesus to share His Gospel to the ends of the Earth whether they believe or not, and all you people here in Sajha you have heard, you might want to find it yourself, if its the TRUTH or not. Unless you taste a fruit you dont know if its bitter or sweet, you cant find it out by looking from outside. Millions of Christians have gone under severe persecution from the days of Nero to Talibans, many have been thrown into stakes, wild animals, guillotines, jailed, nailed WHY? Its a small suffering compared to the eternal life, and rejecting the one who gave His life for you. I am not any kinda Apologetic or anyone just a follower of Christ who still needs to learn a lot. God Bless <((><
