It is confusing, but that doesn't mean we still shouldn't try.

The question is does God give you credit for the attempt, even if in the wrong direction, or the execution of the correct way?

If a person is honestly seeking for the truth, asking God for help, searching the scriptures, knocking on the door..., then it's pretty clear that even if that person starts in the wrong direction, that those who seek will find, and those who ask will have answers. I'm not quite sure what you mean by credit - but a heart and a mind and a soul open to the truth, one who loves the truth, will find some if they look.

Or maybe think of this way - suppose one oncologist recommends one treatment while a second oncologist recommends something different. This does not mean cancer does not exist, nor does it mean they are both right. Yet the patient has to keep looking because the problem is so serious. A third opinion/search to verify the validity (or lack thereof) of the others is a far better path than to no longer look.
