These are all false gods even the religions outside of Christianity that have one god, so if they believe they have heard the voice of their god/s they are fooling themselves. This comes from the authority of the one true God who says, "there are no other gods except for me." Most all the other religions say there are other gods outside of their religion, why, because man has made a competition of their religions, I believe some Christians see it as a competition which is not supported by the scriptures.
I understand how you view it and what you believe. What I mean is that your responses could have been given by anyone who is a devout believer in any god. There is no way to know for sure who is right because each person can say the same thing and truly and sincerely believe it. You are telling me that it's your god that is true, and you know it for sure and those others must be misled in some way. But they can say the same and there is no way to show which one is right.
In the end it matters that I know, I can't control what others choose nor say, but I can testify to what I know and that's what I try to do hear.

I have no doubt that you and Drich and many others have sought out god with sincerity and humility and been given an answer that leaves you with no question that god has led you to him. I also have no doubt that many others have done the same thing and found a different god. No one who has done so can produce something that would convince all of the others that they are mistaken or misled. This is striking. God is at once so easy to find that it is inexcusable to deny him, yet so difficult to find that billions get it wrong.
I thank you for acknowledging my belief to be true to me. There is a difference between my God and all the others, my God calls all that come to Him, one can't sincerely choose Christ without the Fathers call and He will call all that are truly seeking. With the other religions people choose to follow their teaching because they like what they say, and many choose another religion because Christianity seems to be too confining which is not true when God is guiding a persons life.
Satan is at the root of all these other religions, what better deception than to provide a other belief systems that people fill better fits them than the only true God.

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.
