How many Gods are there? Do different religions have different Gods?

Question

Too many Gods!!!! How can anyone decide??

I may be better off w/o one.

Or should I create my own God?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about "different religions"... but as far as I can tell, you're the only "God" belonging to the G.O.P.


*wink*

Answer 2

There are at least as many gods as there are people. Just as any two people trying to describe any other person will describe a different beign, so too, is every description of God somewhat different.

Few Christians today would consider a feminine description of God, yet such have existed in the past. Too, many gods have been described over the years, and some of these have changed over time. Some have changed from goddess to god, some have been both parent and child. it's all quite variable.

Answer 3

The GOD is only ONE, The Creator, the Sustainer and The Maintainer of this verry LIVE,thou'.
other previous religion had personified all of the terms that belongst to the Mighty one with oh-so-many-names, in that the Hindus were personified Sang Hyang Wenang, Sang Hyang Widhi Wasya, had been believed originated since prophet Shyts a.s. (the Shiite ?) which is a direct decendent
that of prophet Adam a.s. For long a time these believe has been commencing, which so many variance a long its path and had lived up until now. Thou the Mighty One would still be Mistriously exist within the mind of Believers, and would stand for those in Faithfull to HIM. Amen.

Answer 4

I won't say they have different GODS, but they had prophets like Jesus.
Like Hinduism have Prophets as Krishna and Vishnu.
Buddhism had Prophet Buddha
Sikhism had Guru Nanak
Mormons have Joseph Smith
Mo-hammed is the prophets for Islam.

There is only one GOD, but there are different paths to reach him. The only difference comes where these prophets were born. All of the Holy books are also inspired by what the locals were like in the times of these prophets and what they preached?

Answer 5

"The Supreme or Ultimate Reality, as in (a) the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness, who is worshipped as Creator and Ruler of the Universe (b) the ultimate Principal of Goodness, the ultimate Mind (c) the Uncreated One, giver of life." etc.

There can be only one being that would fit such a description. THAT BEING, and ONLY that being, would be God. With that understanding, there can be only one God.

HOWEVER...
There are many different religions in the world, and all of these religions have different teachings on the spirit world. Many of these teachings about "god" are in opposition as far as identifying attributes, so there are many different beings recognized as "god".

SO...

In reality, only ONE ultimate GOD.

BUT...

Many different beings, both real and imagined, are being RECOGNIZED as God.

Answer 6

Judaism, Islam and Christianity all worship the same God and they have only one God as opposed to other religions which can worship multiple gods.

Answer 7

I always thought that we worship the same God. We just see Him differently. I see a loving Father that is concerned for His children. He wants us to be happy and live a good life.

Answer 8

There are many gods. There is only one God.

Answer 9

There are thousands of gods. Different religions do have other gods.

Answer 10

There is only One true God. He is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob! Other religions are very misled and most are worshiping Satan in his many forms. Remember, Satan is a liar!! And he is DEFEATED!!!!
