what if they're all the same thing?

what if there really is a god and he's just messing with people? ok, for those who are theists, whether you're a muslim, christian, wiccan, scientologist or whatever, chances are you believe in a higher power of some sort. the problem is, nobody can seem to agree on who that god is. my questions to all of you is, what if they're all the same god? like let's say there is a god, and so before he created the universe, he decided he wanted to have some fun. so rather than create some living creature that would satisfy whatever want a being who is completely sufficient could want, he decided he'd create a group of creatures simply for his amusement. so decided to reveal himself to them, but under different aliases. to the jews he called himself yahweh. to the christians he called himself jesus. to the muslims he called himself allah. to scientologists he called himself zenu. to the hindus, vishnu... and so on. does anyone ever consider this a possibility?

    It is not God who did this, as prophesied separation of father and brother will happen, making them believe something different. but for sure as long as a higher being is recognized as the ultimate Maker. God is God no matter what you call HIm. God Bless.

    1) if you are a theist, you are not Wiccan or Scientologist. NEITHER of these group believe in One True God.

    2) if you are a Jew or Christian, you know that There is One True God, and MANY lesser, "fake" gods (with a lower case 'g'). Jehovah, the One True God, has pointed out that the "fake" gods are made of wood, rock, or jewels. they cannot defend themselves, and certainly cannot save YOU! In fact, Jehovah points out, they can't even walk, and have to be carried every place they go.

    3) God did NOT call himsefl "JESUS". God is the Father, in Heaven. Jesus is The Son, on earth. But The Son has been Given ALL the authority as the Father. Jesus does anything the Father asks him to -- including give up His life for his fellow mankind.

    4) Allah and Jehovah are not the same. They have COMPLETELY different natures. No, Jehovah did NOT change, because HE assures us that "I, The Lord, do not change". Jehovah sends a message of LIFE -- LIVE for God! Do the best you can to stay alive to spread the Good News about God. but if death comes, do not fear, because if you die you will be with Him.

    Allah sends the message of DEATH. The ONLY way a Muslim is GUARANTEED to get into Heaevn is to DIE in the service of Allah. Muslims are told it is better to die, and even better if they can take an infidel with them. Yet Muslims must fear death, because Allah will treat them based on whether they were a "good person" or "bad person" on earth. And the criteria for "good" or "bad" comes from Allah. So ALLAH chooses IF you get into Heaven or if you don't. Therefore be afraid of dying, because no one knows how Allah thinks!

    5) God Jehovah is DIFFENT from ALL other gods. Jehocah make ALL the effort to come to meet us! In fact, He tells us that NO ONE is good enough to get into Heaven. the ONLY way youc an get into Heaevn is through teh ONE WAY that He has defined -- belief in His Son Jesus. GOD has reached out to you, and will do ALL the work of forgiving your sin and taking you unto Him.

    ALL other Gods claim that you can get to them, IF you are good enough, or perform other various acts here on earth. This is MAN does all the work, and the god does nothing.

    That is what Islam has been telling people over the last 1400 years , The Gods of all religions [the Higher power] is ONE . Judaism , Christianity and Islam served the same idea , only Judaism and Christianity were corrupted and thus Islam was needed [as Christianity was needed for corrupted Judaism] .

    You didn't come up with something new you know , the God is One but people see the way to Him as many when it is only one too .

    Peace

    There is enough conflict with God and the Devil wanting to take His place so therefore i will leave it as that......that's is one reason and the biggest reason why all this is really going on ...THE GREAT DEBATES!! in all.

    Yes, what you have observed is the fact that their is but one God, but we fallible humans have many different ways of interpreting the information He has given us. For now, He allows it. Thanks for sharing.

    There can only be one God. Otherwise there would be conflict.
