What is the difference...?

Question

What is the difference between the Christian God, and any other God, in other religions beside satanism. God is the supreme being in all religions, so what if we call God by a different name or name different traits he/ she is still one and the same. For example lets say Group A knows Cynthia Brown and thinks she is nice and can do no wrong and they call her Cynthia. Group B knows Cynthia Brown and thinks she is a hard work, and very hot headed and call her Cyn. Is she still not the same person. Then why Can't god be called by one or more names? God is God.

Answer 1

I like your logic, and I agree. I believe all gods are one God, just different names/aspects. The supreme ruler is an IMMENSE being, and mere humans with our human brains cannot possibly interpret the whole thing as it is. So we look at aspects of the supreme being. I see one part, and you see another part. But we're seeing the same Being.

Answer 2

It is not correct to say that the supreme being is the "god" of all religions. It is correct to say that all religions claim their "god" or "gods" are supreme. Different names are given to a "god" or "gods" in order to support the claims of each religion.

Now Cynthia Brown was around before Group A and Group B.
Likewise the eternal spirit was around before any religions were formulated and before you and I were formed. He had a name and names before any human brain was encased in calcium.

Now I don't know what names you use to call on "God" but if you don't call me by my name I won't answer. Unless you carry a really big stick I won't even answer to the generic calls "You Mister!" or "Hey boy!" But maybe you are different. How about I call you Sweet Cakes.

Answer 3

For starters: You've done well to claim that there is only one God. Now I ask you: How many differences (quantitative or qualitative) would there have to be between one person's conception of God and another's conception of God to conclude that what they've described can't possibly be the same God? If your presupposition is that there is no such thing as a real God, then both opinions are not matters of objective truth but merely statements of belief. If your presupposition is that there is only one God and that this is an objective truth, then both of the people's beliefs cannot be correct, and perhaps both are wrong.

Interesting dilemma, eh?

Personally, I've come to the conclusion that God exists and is knowable to a degree. I do believe that my knowledge and understanding of his existence, attributes, and actions is sufficient to declare a different opinion incorrect. I'm not suggesting that I personally am the standard of correctness on this matter but that I recognize a truth that is there to be discovered by anyone who takes off their blindfold and seeks it.

Answer 4

See,here is where a lot of folks get messed up.
Christian God ,Jehovah is also the Jewish God.The difference is ,Christians recognize the Triunity of God, Father ,Son and Holy Spirit,1x1x1=1 God I know it's complex. Jews recognize just Jehovah(YHVH). The Muslims come along and try to hitch their wagon to us with Allah. El Allah was worshiped for centuries before Muhammed as the Moon God,hence the 'Crescent Moon' on all their flags etc. when Muhammed started his religion,he just re-arranged the Old testament so that Ishmael (father of the Arabs) gets all of Isaac's promises(son of Abraham).Problem is the old testament was written around (parts of it)1500 B.C. and the Koran after 600 A.D.
Just a little Info for you.

Answer 5

what happens when different religions bring facts which contridict each other?
Muslims say Allah, Mohammad was prophet. Islam "rewards" men who die for His sake.
Chrisitianity says Jehovah, Jesus was God as well, Jesus died for our sins.
Muslims say Jesus was "just a prophet." Christianity says Jesus was God.
Contradiction. by logic, both cannot be right.
One thing. the Bibles prophesies has been 100%. the chances of all the prophecies being fulfilled 100% are 1 in 1 followed by 93 ZEROES by chance alone.

Answer 6

If you think there is only one true God and there are no rival gods, let me suggest something to you. If one person believes in a god that lets anyone in to heaven, yet the Bible presents a God who only allows those who have faith in Christ, then essentially, the first group is believing in a god that does not exist and has been conjured by their own minds.

If there is one true God who reveals himself in the Bible, and he says that it is impossible for he himself to lie, then it is impossible that other teachings about gods that contradict the Bible and come from sources outside the Bible are true.

Answer 7

Your right God is God in all instances that God appears. Each individual religious group that congregates together has a mutually respected vision of their version of God and they find
safety in that union. This is one of the mysteries of God that all
persons can come to God in their own way and God is always there.

Answer 8

People are entitled to their own beliefs. Being a Christian I believe that there is only one true God, who created everything, who sent his Son Jesus to die for my salvation, who showed us how to live by example and if I believe this simple truth I will have eternal life.

Cheers!

Answer 9

The God of the Jews has no name and says you can't worship other Gods, hence no.

Now, if I say God Bless you and you want to TAKE that as Allah, that's YOU not ME. I said GOD.

You have to take responsiblity for your own actions as I do for mine.

Answer 10

yes , that what ppl should know , may be the name of god differs according to the languages , but still GOD, like in arabic the word god is "allah" and it used by both arab christians and muslims , however , ppl think that we have agod and they have thiers which isnot true , also god in french is called "dieu" so it is just language , but refers to only one god.
