As for the other religions that have survived up till now they are not teachings directed against Him or false teachings about Him. Why they have lasted this long I do not know ...

But Islam-- as well as Judaism-- both state that Jesus is NOT the "messiah." They are not Christian sects, however they have made very unequivocal statements about Jesus (in the Koran and in the Talmud) that are "false" according to the vast majority of Christians.
Also this notion that "false" Christian sects fall because of Christological heresies doesn't jive with the fact that Unitarian-Universalists, Quakers are still around today (to name only two that immediately come to mind)-- their views on Jesus are hardly "orthodox."
And historically, many Christian sects have died out not because of some god, but because other people with other ideologies and agendas wiped them out. There's nothing metaphysical about the gallows.
Have you been reading Lost Christianites the reason I ask this because your response resembles what it teaches.
I do believe I said most have come to an end.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
