Re: Convictions you don't understand..
Im not sure every conviction comes from God.

Muslims are convicted Allah is God and Muhammed is His prophet.

Mormons are convicted Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and the BOM is God's word.

Nation of Islam advocates are convicted that Elijah Muhammed was a prophet of God.

Millions of Germans were convicted that the things Hitler preached to them were true.

Convictions are beliefs. What forms the basis of your beliefs? Is it the word of God?
