Yeah. I have thought about that and about all the other religions in the world. But none of them have the continuing revelation through different authors over many centuries that christianity has. Also, neither Mohammad nor any of the other instituters of other faiths have claimed to be God in the flesh or have risen from the dead. I view all those who are searching for God as searching for the same God, of which there is only one. That doesn't mean that I think all religions are equal paths to God, or even that their vision of who he is the same, but rather they contain some elements of truth. I believe that if a person is truly searching for God and he is of a non-christian religion, but has not had the opportunity to know of Christ, then God will judge him based on his heart. But if anyone knows of Christ and rejects him for the "god" of another faith, then he doesn't have salvation.
