I find it more peaceful my way because I condemn no one and I don’t feel superior to anyone.

It is not I that condemns you. It is the word of God that points out condemnation.

He that believeth on him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:18,19)

I am not superior, just saved. It is God's desire that no man perish, that all come to the knowledge of the truth. If I were "superior", I would keep this privileged position only for myself and leave the unsaved to perish. But that would be contrary to what God wants.

Jesus said, "...He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24).

Believe and live.

Depends on who’s truth you are talking about. There are many, many sacred texts that outdate the Bible and some recent ones. Are they wrong? How do you know that? Don’t they think their holy book is right just as you? Why are you right and they wrong? You can’t honestly answer that without using the words that you read in YOUR holy book.

Seriously, why would the Creator of this universe not embrace an Arab or Jew or Buddhist who may have never heard of a Jesus? He created them and put them where they are. According to the OT He created the ruler of Egypt yet hardened his heart so he would never become a “saved” person. So much for (Pharaoh’s) free will!
