The religionists in Joseph's day were very legalistic, creed oriented, "join my view or you're wrong." Visitations by God (not just Joseph's) were of the devil.

Whereas the God of heaven is interested in the individual, no matter where they are, no matter what religious errors they have. We all err in doctrine, we all offend, the best of us fall far short of the measure or rule of God, but God's love is universal.

Does this have anything to do with the mind of God when he said "they were all wrong; that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: 'they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.'"
