Discerning Religions

I find no problem with the work of true spirits like angels as well as the Spirit from before the Throne of Glory in inspiring scriptures of various religious groups and part of the way those scriptures came about was people we term 'prophets'. So the Spirit inspiring prophets in various religions, though the cultures behind those religions vary a lot, the Spirit could be at work in each to some degree, along with spirits which we have to discern carefully but could well be very trustworthy. So there might be various names revealed for who sends these spirits and the Spirit from before His throne. Yet it is likely the same One sending the spirits as sends the Spirit from before the Throne. I'm trying to avoid using specifics or names. We just have to make sure the spirits are true but to avoid prejudice as we try to discern. Language and culture are factors but so is the sovereign will of Him who sits on the Throne of Glory and the glory and service to Him of the One beside Him at His right hand. This One at the right hand is mentioned in various religions' scriptures and ties them together when mentioned with reverence.
