I've always felt that way. The BS about all those poor pagans not getting into heaven went out 50-60 yrs ago!
TS Lewis (Lion Witch & the Wardrobe series, Screwtape Letters, etc) thought the same way.
It doesn't matter who or what you call your god/God, it's more how you act. Of course the evangelicals with their "belief is more important than actions" will argue against that (in that case, even Hitler would be okay as long as he believed in Jesus while he was promoting the Holocost).
Personally, I like the Taoist attitude: Do what is right, not because of some promise of reward in an afterlife, but because it is the right thing to do. Do that and you can't really go wrong.

NO. It is not possible that all religions are correct, for there is but only one religion. And yes God is using many different faces or voices serving as vessels or branches to bring forth fruit, fruit being a people, and the fruit which is good for God is all taught under one teaching.
Matthew 28:19,20
19) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
20) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
All the prophets and apostles teachings were the same. And if you are called from God, then your teaching must be the same as the prophets and the apostles.

I'm a Hindu and our religious texts( the Vedas )teach exactly that. Truth is one, it is interpreted in many ways. Any one who worships God or even gods with devotion finds the truth.
Just look at the intolerance of "bryton1001"!
Shedoblyde, korEa34 too, I just don't know what to say to these guys but as a Hindu I should tolerate, although I get frustrated reading things like these.

I used to believe that until I read the Bible for myself. No one wants to believe that someone who believes something other than what Jesus teaches will go to hell, but the bible is clear and cannot be disproved.

In all seriousness I'd say that is likely.
It makes no sense why a God would limit itself to one culture or one historical time period.

NO IN THE BIBLE THERE IS ONLY ONE CREATOR, MANY OTHER RELIGIONS WERE STARTED OUT OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND WERE MAN MADE, THE ONLY TRUE GOD IS OUR CREATOR AND LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US AND HAS A PLAN FOR US IF WE FOLLOW, AND TURN AWAY FROM FALSE IDOLS, AND IDEAS, AND MOST OF ALL SIN.

no. Islam teaches God has no son & Christianity says God sent his only Son Jesus.

Ephesians 4:4-6 “One body there is, and one spirit, even as you were called in the one hope to which you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all.”

I think it very well could be.
It could also be the opposite and all religions are wrong.
I don't think anyone could give you solid proof either way.
Religion is very...thought provoking

I believe that there is only ONE GOD, however, I don't believe that all beliefs point to that ONE GOD.
