Do you think Gods of different religions are simply different representations of the "God"?

ie, do you think that the native American Gods (I dont know any cause im Australian) are the same as God in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim sense. Do you think that you can get to heaven by living a good life but believeing in a different god? YES or NO preferably. No hateful comments, atheist or theist...

    Throughout the Holy Scriptures, the true God is always described as 'one'.

    He in fact says at Isaiah 42:8-"I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise .........."

    Jehovah is the name of God as revealed in the Scriptures. See Psalm 83:18 also.

    Jesus was sent as a representative of God as the scriptures also reveal at John 1:6; 7:29; 16:27;

    and 17:8. And never is Jesus called Almighty God. He is the Son of God.

    Jesus disciples knew an important fact about the true God being only One God,

    At 1 Corinthians 8 :5,6 we read:

    "For even though there are those who are called 'gods', whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many 'gods' and many 'lords', there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him."

    So even Christ disciples accepted that though there are many called gods, the actuality is there is

    only one God.

    Read Jesus words at Matthew 7:21-23 that shows that not all religions are representing the true God

    of the Bible.

    Yes. Everything is One. What we think of as gods as just advanced beings who incarnate on earth to help us out.

    “God is not a being or an entity. God is the great positive force, the collective positive force of all that is. To call god an entity and especially to personify god is to limit the concept.”

    God is the Universal Consciousness, the Intelligent Infinity, the One Source, the Prime Creator. EVERYTHING IS GOD. God is All There Is. We are all part of god. All the universes combined are part of god.

    “THERE IS NO SOUL GREATER THAN ANOTHER, and no person greater than another. The notion of a “Higher Order of Angels” denotes hierarchy, superiority and rank.

    So, do Angels, Archangels and the Angelic Realm/Kingdom actually exist? NO, they do not! Like the terms Heaven, and God, these are all simply human labels, names and descriptions, which implies separation or the existence of something superior or divine entities greater than us. Any degree of separation is a manifestation of the humanity’s ego.

    When you truly accept and realise that every soul is equal and a divine expression of the Creator, then you do not need to use labels to describe higher frequency spiritual beings for the purpose of their identification.

    You, like every other spiritual being have your own single energetic personality - we are not separate, rather we are All One. Likewise, Angels do not have wings, feathers, or grandiose physical forms. Again, these images are a result of humanities misconceptions and the continuing theme that everything “Celestial” should be portrayed as patriarchal males.

    When you call an Angel or Archangel for guidance, healing or support, you are actually calling forward an individualized portion of consciousness with a distinct personality that matches your faith and beliefs. The Angelic Realm is simply plural for the Source, or the divine consciousness. This energy is devoid of ego and negative emotions. You may call these beings “Angelic” if you prefer, but their divine role is to support us, and their fundamental purpose is to offer unconditional love at all times.

    When you consciously summon an archangel by name, such as Michael, Ariel, or Gabriel, this energy comes to you from the source - the group consciousness from around the planet. Their energy can separate and manifest as a distinct personality based on your faith and beliefs, but the energy is truly one and from the same source. They manifest depending on the qualities you request, such as protection, healing, peace, and wisdom.

    The different groups that humanity have labeled as angels, guardian angels, ascended masters and gods (eg: Jesus, Buddha, Isis, Mary, etc) do not actually exist as separate individuals. They are “Beings of Light” that are multi-dimensional forms of integrated conscious energy.”

  • one correction : native americans don't have gods or worship anything. it is a common misconception. there is no "great spirit" in our beliefs. that term was used by missionaries trying to convert native people. in the Lakota language, it translates to "great mystery" and is not a god.

    In my nation, we have 2 creators. neither are gods and we don't worship or pray to them. too much christian influence has twisted our traditional beliefs. it isn't good.

    There is only one spiritual realm but it is perceived differently by people. One result is multiple gods.
