Is it possible that all religions believe in the same being, but see this being differently?

Question

Is God really Buddha who is really Allah who is really the Hindu God who is the Pagan God etc?

I'm sure plenty of you think I'm crazy for thinking this, but please, try and respond with real answers.

Answer 1

I don't think you're crazy. I agree with you.

I believe there is a Higher Power that transcends gender and consciousness as we know it - I usually refer to it as "The Higher Power", "Deity", or "Universal Energy". I feel that it is an energy that permeates the universe and everything in it, as opposed to a sentient, omniscient, omnipotent Being that is sitting somewhere watching us all. The similarities between various world pantheons in the types of Gods and Goddesses (Love, War, Fertility, Home, Death, etc.) leads me to believe that the various Gods and Goddesses of the various religions are all aspects of the same Higher Power, "broken down" by man into something that we can relate to, and to help deal with whatever needs dealing with at that point. Different facets of the same diamond.

Others agree with you, too. Do a search on the phrase "All gods are one god".

Answer 2

Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all spring from the same religious background. Allah in the Koran is pretty much the same as the God (YHWH) of the Old Testament. Jesus is way different from both of them.

Hinduism is a very old belief system with many gods and many ways of finding them. Its main gods are Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the sustainer), and Shiva (the destroyer).

Buddhism came out of the Hindu tradition. Buddhism falsely elevated Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha ("enlightened one"), to the status of a god some time after his death, much like Christianity did with Jesus of Nazareth. Gautama was a man who taught others how he freed himself from attachments. Jesus was a man who taught a better way to live, based on his own relationship to "the Father".

Taoism is based on the writings of Lao Tzu ("wise old man"), who was a man.

Confucianism is a moral system based on the teachings of Confucius.

Pagan religions have different gods for different parts of nature and society. They're pretty much like people, except for being gods.

I think that covers most of the major religions. No, all religions don't really believe in the same being and see this being differently. Different religions have different degrees of truth in them, from Islam (not much) to the Buddha's teachings (right on, until it became a religion).

There are some spiritual teachings which seem to describe the same thing, but they aren't unified religions. They never will be, since religion usually makes the divine LESS clear, not more.

Answer 3

The Koran says Allah aka God Almighty, aka "God" ... has "many beautiful names".

As matter of metaphysics ... physics and psychics of disembodied entities ... the possibilities are truly mind-boggling for us ... and perhaps for them, at times in the past. At one extreme, an entity could be a god in some realm and mortal / mundane in another ... and not even know it. Such are the possible complexities of multidimensional hyperspacial multiverse.

Strongly suggest you get a good translation of the Koran, find some stuff online.

Search "Al-Qiyamah" or "Hypocrites + Koran" for some choice verses.

I'm not a Muslim, formally, I suppose ... but have read a good bit of most everything ... and find this an extremely powerful picture of the world as it REALLY is ... history, power, beauty, mystery, suffering ... politics ... and all.

Though it has sometimes very traditional/conservative view of women, it is probably no worse in this than Bible or Torah. Basically, it preaches relative (for the times) equality for women. Burkkhas and other oppression against women are perversions, seems to me.

Answer 4

If all religions believe in ONE God then we all believe in the same God. And yes, we could all be seeing the One and Only God in different hues, lights, concepts, etc. We can be moving in the same time frame but not the same eternal space. Some are seeing light in motion, and at different speeds, and therefore will obtain an understanding faster and clear than others. Yet, we all will eventually cross the same bridge to eternity and beyond.

Answer 5

Unfortunately as much as that would be nice really, that all religions all believed in the same God, thats jus not how it works.....there is only ONE way to Heaven there is only ONE God....in fact Jesus himself said...
"Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
Jesus answered, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." " John 14:5-7 (emphassis added)

..and of course u always hear of the mountain and the many paths analogy...and how they all lead to the same way...but look...if your at the bottom of the mountain can u see the top? of course not...but the top CAN see the bottom of the mountain where you start at...so the one on top can kno the Right Path of course they may be "other" paths...but not the Right Path....not the one that can truly take you to the top of the mountain...and not off the side of the mountain...if you follow the directions that the person on the top of the mountain gives you the one who REALLY IS at the top then you should..and WILL...find the Right Path.....if you have any questions please contact me I would LOVE to talk to you more and help and if you have any more questions, talk and try to help you as much as I can.....God Bless.....

Answer 6

The God of the Bible says that He's the only God, and besides Him, there are no other gods. He is the Creator of all things. Our God is a Triune God; The Father, Jesus, The Holy Spirit.
Every religion is different, and there is only one God who can give you eternal life. The God of the Bible is the only true God.

Answer 7

yes there is no god but one god.
and v may look diff, speak diff languages, foloow diff traditions and cultures, label our selves like muslim, christian or wateva.

but when v pray v all pray 2 one god. our forms of worship may differ but the prayers v all pray are the same.

no religion asks u 2 kill, it is man who does that and blames god. now v all know that.. when something good happens v praise ourselves and our hardwork, but when something miserable happens, v blame god.

v differ in our religion labelling and form of worship but to me it seems that v all pray 4 the same cause. v all hav a same heart and v all feel the same way.

and im sure that all wat v want is this earth 2 b a better place for our children to come.

may Allah bless u, sugar.

Answer 8

A very astute observation, we agree on the same God, it is the prophet that causes the hatred

Answer 9

No, I don't think you're crazy. But I don't agree either. I see no reason the believe that there is only one deity in the universe. Why can't there be many deities and many "truths"?

Answer 10

NOPE! THE GOD is not any of the little immitators!
