Deflection.
God either does or doesn’t benefit people from other religions. Which is it?
Glob...
it depends on the religion moron.
That is why i said you do not know those other religions.
For example in the purest form of islam there is no helping hand of God lest you are a profit like muhammad. What god offers is nothing in this life as it is a test to be taken alone, and if you pass you will literally receive paradise.
Judaism again is a lot like Islam in that God does not directly intervene. As a member of God's kingdom you obey the law you do good deeds it will come back around much like if you sow wheat you will harvest wheat.
Only Christianity does God offer to talk with people directly. only in Christianity does God offer gift not earned and in this life not in the next. In the other forms of abrahamic religion one has to be a profit in order to receive what the Christ is given as a gift made possible by the cross. the cross has taken down the barrier between man and God to make it possible for us to directly interact. That is a very steep promise and if people for 1000's of years did not feel the were interacting with God on that level for this extended amount of time, this religion would have died as soon as the roman state fell.
There is something more hold this religion up besides the state. and that is full filled promises.
