If you can talk to him directly, you should ask him about that.
Maybe he's not telling them that. Maybe they're making it up. I don't tell them this very often because they get uppity when I do.
God doesn't give me great insights into everyone else's spiritual life and I'm glad he doesn't. I wouldn't want mine broadcast that way.
You acknowledge that he could very well be telling them something else. For being sublimly confident that you have found the "right god", you seem to have little concern for whether he is being straight with you or giving you the whole story.
He might be giving them different instructions. Happens all the time. If he starts claiming he's a big spaghetti monster to them then I'm saying they are wrong.

In the The Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model with K<=0, each spatial slice is a constant curvature space of infinite extent but with density approaching infinity at one goes back toward the time of the big bang. In these K<=0 models, it was only the observable universe that was once crammed into a dot. But there was, at any positive time, a whole R^3 full of such dots each destined to fill out a volume as large as what we can now observe. In the K>0 case, the whole universe (not just the observable universe) was a tiny dense copy of S^3.

Interesting. He gives variant messages and yet THEY are wrong. Why would you blame them, for confusion he is causing?

I meant the person is wrong, not God.

I love it... Atheists are the unreasonable ones for not believing in your imaginary friend.
