Im Christian, but Im very open minded about religion. I've had an idea that there is a God, but that all other God's and Goddesses are really the same entity, just called by different names. Does that make me blasphemous against God?

It makes you NOT a Christian.

Wow, this is hard. Being open minded is fine, I am a christian and feel it is wrong to judge other religions. I think the line you are crossing in your belief is what you believe and whether you judge others. You have to look into yourself and decide what you believe. If it is God then which one and at what level. Completely or with some by-is. When I was 12 I decided to jump in and fully believe. I thought if I was wrong then o well, but if I didn't believe and was wrong that well.. I didn't want to take that chance. Now, at 31 my life is very complete,and I know I didn't do this on my own. However, I do not judge other religions, God it the only one that judges. And if they are wrong than they will have to take that up with God. I have to believe with my heart and when people like you have questions, answer with my heart. Hope this helped.

There is only one God. There are no other gods and goddesses. God may have many names, but there is no substitute for the real thing. No, you're not blasphemous, just a little misguided. Being open-minded about religion is not a sin either. I am also open-minded, in that I'm interested in learning about other faiths, and being a free thinker. But it always comes down to the same-- God is omnipotent and there is only one of Him!

God is even called baal in the OT - a fertility religion deity, but the name means husband/master. I think many of our ideas about God come from different religions and I am sure God can handle them just fine.
The difficulty for us, as believers/humans, is the baggage which some of the other deities bring with them. The theology which supports them twists the theology of redemption we hold.

How do you figure you're a Christian? Just because you believe in God? Christian means "Christ Follower" do you follow Christ? If so, He never taught that all gods and goddesses fall under one entity.

If you are truly openminded,
then you need to look, and give up this lie of the slaves of jehova.
Spiritual enlightenment.. Have you considered it?
Do you even know what Im talking about?
Most christians know absolutely nothing of the spiritual, past quoting thier "inspired" bible...
Which, mind you, ISNT spiritual.
Its quoting.
Like quoting a book.
Since thats what their doing.
Id advise you to look at Exposingchristianity.com
And also Joyofsatan.com
(mind you that this has no affiliation to the bible, biblical terms, church of satan, or those "evil satanists" who do horrible, terrible, things.)
Only a mind that considers what is good and truthful, can fully concieve its own existence, otherwise-
You are thrown in with the rest of the non-thinking sheep.
Proud of it too.

The Lord of Abraham
The Ahura of Zoroaster
The Eishwar of Krishna
The Jehovah of Moses
The God of Jesus
The Allah of Muhammad
is the AlMighty One Alone God Only who is the Creator and Nourisher of us all.
the word GOD means:-
1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.
3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.
THE SUPREME LORD
Who said in the Godly voice
“I, and I alone, am God
and all other gods
(or goddesses and demigods)
are unreal.”
(Bible Duet. 32:39)
“Worship no god but Me”
(Exodus 20:3)
“Worship no god but Me”,
clearly means that:
“There is no god but Me.”
The same Words has been revealed by the Lord through the Lord’s Revelation, Al-Quran:
“There is no god but Allah
(The One Alone God)”
so, PEACE here in this world and there in the Hereafter, can be ensured through obedience of the Lord, the Holy One alone; in accordance with the Lord’s commandments, given in all the Scriptures, already, possessed by the people of the Scriptures.
Therefore, the Lord of Moses (PBUH) and the Lord of Muhammad (PBUH) and the Lord of Jesus (PBUH) and the Lord of Krishna (PBUH) is the same, Alone Lord who is known as Our God, the One and the Alone and the Absolute Holy.
All those who believe in the One Alone God are believers.

Christians believe in only one God, the living God, the one who told the prophets what to write in the bible.

A Christian knows there is only one God. There are many gods(idols), not to be confused with the one Almighty God.

That means that you have read more than just the Christian Bible and have opened your mind and soul to the words of the CREATOR of ALL THINGS. I have as many names as there are stars in the sky and grains of sand in all the oceans.

I am... a woman... female... girl... white... Caucasian... United States Citizen... 'Native' of North America... American... east coaster... north eastern state resident... mid Atlantic state resident... Delawarean... All the same person, just different terms... Likewise, can't see why understanding different names for a god in different languages would be a bad thing.
