If God be one, there cannot anything else more omnipotent. If God be one, He is the God for all religions, and the same one worshipped in different names, by different religions. In Gita, God vouches for the fact that all the different dharmas (religions) lead to Him only. As a matter of fact, God knows no religion.

I'd agree with johnny cee's answer, some what. Christianity is NOT the most powerful beleif system in the world today, but the "Ancient Of Day's", or Jehovah of armies that is christianity's God is a tough God to deny. Powerful in strength but slow in speed, this God has none the less had a powerful influence in mankinds past history & will have an unbeleivable influence on it in the future. Regarding His past performence, just ask yourself what happened to the Egyptian empire?

I thought there was only one God? And, if there is only one God, how can there be more than one religion? In fact, there is not more than one religion. There is only one religion--the religion of the one God:
Progressive Revelation
A great stumbling block to many, in the way of religious unity, is the difference between the Revelations given by the different Prophets. What is commanded by one is forbidden by another; how then can both be right, how can both be proclaiming the Will of God? Surely the truth is One, and cannot change. Yes, the Absolute Truth is One and cannot change, but the Absolute Truth is infinitely beyond the present range of human understanding, and our conceptions of it must constantly change. Our earlier, imperfect ideas will be by the Grace of God replaced, as time goes on, by more and more adequate conceptions. Bahá’u’lláh says, in a Tablet to some Bahá’ís of Persia:—
O people! Words are revealed according to capacity so that the beginners may make progress. The milk must be given according to measure so that the babe of the world may enter into the Realm of Grandeur and be established in the Court of Unity.
It is milk that strengthens the babe so that it can digest more solid food later on. To say that because one Prophet is right in giving a certain teaching at a certain time, therefore another Prophet must be wrong Who gives a different teaching at a different time, is like saying that because milk is the best food 123 for the newborn babe, therefore, milk and nothing but milk should be the food of the grown man also, and to give any other diet would be wrong! ‘Abdu’l-Bahá says:—
Each divine revelation is divided into two parts. The first part is essential and belongs to the eternal world. It is the exposition of Divine truths and essential principles. It is the expression of the Love of God. This is one in all the religions, unchangeable and immutable. The second part is not eternal; it deals with practical life, transactions and business, and changes according to the evolution of man and the requirements of the time of each Prophet. For example. … During the Mosaic period the hand of a person was cut off in punishment of a small theft; there was a law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but as these laws were not expedient in the time of Christ, they were abrogated. Likewise divorce had become so universal that there remained no fixed laws of marriage, therefore His Holiness Christ forbade divorce.
According to the exigencies of the time, His Holiness Moses revealed ten laws for capital punishment. It was impossible at that time to protect the community and to preserve social security without these severe measures, for the children of Israel lived in the wilderness of Tah, where there were no established courts of justice and no penitentiaries. But this code of conduct was not needed in the time of Christ. The history of the second part of religion is unimportant, because it relates to the customs of this life only; but the foundation of the religion of God is one, and His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh has renewed that foundation.
The religion of God is the One Religion, and all the Prophets have taught it, but it is a living and a growing thing, not lifeless and unchanging. In the teaching of Moses we see the Bud; in that of Christ the Flower; in that of Bahá’u’lláh the Fruit. The flower does not destroy the bud, nor does the fruit destroy the flower. It destroys not, but fulfills. The bud scales must fall in order that the flower may bloom, and the petals must fall that 124 the fruit may grow and ripen. Were the bud scales and the petals wrong or useless, then, that they had to be discarded? Nay, both in their time were right and necessary; without them there could have been no fruit. So it is with the various prophetic teachings; their externals change from age to age, but each revelation is the fulfillment of its predecessors; they are not separate or incongruous, but different stages in the life history of the One Religion, which has in turn been revealed as seed, as bud and as flower, and now enters on the stage of fruition.

There is no God who is more powerful than the ottehre as there ae not too many Gods . Just as man is not one but many god is also represented by the many forms .If God is the creator of everything in the universe , the unierse is God and there is nothing more powerful than the universe.The universe displays itself in million ways .you see god in every one of them .God is in "Viswaroopa". you ar yourself part of the scheme of God. any religon that contributes to peace among the people of this world is most powerful.Any religons that respects everybody in this world irrespectie of caste , colour , creed , religion , is the most powerful

None, ALL religions are good, it's the right-wing minorities in these religions, who THINK their God is more powerful than others..
Happy Chanucah/ Christmas/ Divali /Eid to y'all.
And to any Jehovahs Witnesses out there.. Tough..(you don't celebrate ANY of the nice Winter festivals, do you)?..
Oh sorry I forgot, you don't even celebrate your own birthdays. Sad..very, very sad..

God is one , he exists in everyone as his forms
when He is only the supreme how can you distinguish his powers.that religion is more powerfull which gives the right knowledge to feel the supreme in yourself.

OK MY opinion is that God is all powerful ( by what ever name you call Him by) But That is my Belief and my opinion. I'm sure EVERYONE has one, but then EVERYONE has a butt hole too. Why ask such a provocative question?
