I have been asked if I "feel people should all follow the same religion? never mind that all the other religions on the planet have the same weight of evidence supporting them as yours."
My reply:
My "religion", if that is what you wish to call it, is Jesus. He is the way to God and the way to life. -- John 14:6.
At the present time, no, I do not feel that all people should become followers of Jesus. God is selecting only a comparatively few in this age to become the seed of Abraham.
Eventually, there will be no more religions, for all will be taught the truth about the one God, Jehovah. Today this is not happening, since Jehovah is still permitting Satan to blind the minds of people. During that thousand years of Jesus' reign the world will be free from all such blinding influences. (2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9; 20:1-3; Isaiah 29:18,24) It is still true today that darkness covers the earth, human society, and gross darkness the people. However, in God’s due time the light of Truth will mount up high in the heavens as the Sun of Righteousness. It will scatter the darkness and clouds of sin and superstition. Thus from two standpoints a blessing will come by restraining the powers of darkness and by setting free the powers of light. Of that time we are further assured that the knowledge of Jehovah will fill the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. — Isaiah 60:2; Malachi 4:2; Isaiah 11:9.
The saints (those being chosen in this age) will rule with Jesus over the earth in 1,000-year judgment day and assist in judging the world, offering to them “the water of life freely.” — Daniel 7:22,27; 1 Corinthians 6:2; Obadiah 1:21; Matthew 19:28; Luke 22:29,30; Romans 8:16-21; 2 Timothy 2:11,12; Revelation 3:21; 5:9,10; 20:4,6; 22:17.
According to Jehovah’s oath-bound promise, Abraham’s seed, that is, Christ and all the “sons of God”, will bless “all the families of the earth.” This blessing will come to the world during the 1,000-year reign. — Genesis 12:3; 22:16-18; Galatians 3:7-9,16,29; Hebrews 6:13-20; Acts 3:19-25.
