You're right, God will never ignore a sincere desire to know the truth. It is we who limit him in HOW he will do so. A very good example is Abram (Abraham). He came from an area called Ur of the Chaldees. They were polytheistic, believing in many gods. Yet here was Abram who sought out the one and only true God and look how God honored that quest.

Exactly...and I chance saying that most Christians can look back after their conversion and see where God’s hand steered the course to the place they committed to Him. How be it some of us got off track many times in our search..but only so far as to identify that road was going in the wrong direction.

Interesting that in all the religions and faiths I investigated it wasn’t until I had the scriptures in my lap, alone and without distraction, the journey to God really began to shape up and I met Him in the most unexpected time and place! Thank God for His people He has in the field...and the discernment, He gives us, to identify truth when it’s spoken.
