Just wondering why people think that the One True God that made the entire universe would only be the True God of ONE religion? He's not the God of the Earth, He's the God of the Universe, and all other planets with intelligent (and there have to be MANY in this infinite Universe of ours). Every religion's view of God is their view of the One True God that best comes to them in their time, culture and society. Man makes God into his own image, even though in reality Man is made in God's image (all humankind on this earth regardless of religion -- and every religion's base is how to return to the Divine from which we came).
Do other intelligent life forms on other planets pettily fight over which God is the true God and that only they will be reconciled to Him? Why would God be so petty as to only accept ONE religion in this endless Universe of ours?
In time, and in the end, all religions will be reconciled to the One True God, and humankind will be ONE with Him, as was His Plan.

Notfooled... judgemental aren't we? You have no idea what or who God will accept, you are not God and cannot know, just like anyone else can't.
Bite me! :)

The Bible is very clear on the issue: there is only one God. The whole of the Bible hinges on this fact, for if other gods existed then Jesus Christ would never had to have died--there would be many roads leading to heaven. Consider this passage, "So now, what about it? Should we eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God and no other. According to some people, there are many so-called gods and many lords, both in heaven and on earth. But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we exist for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life" (1 Corinthians 8:4-6).
You see, if you say there are "many paths" to god, that means that there are multiple gods... and that is not what God has told us in His Word. There cannot be other religions with THEIR view of god... there is only ONE God, and only what He tells us is the ONE TRUE path to Him. If this is NOT true, then God would be lying to us, and God cannot lie. Saying that every religion has it's own base as to how to "return" to god is another way of saying "many paths"... which God tells us there IS NO OTHER PATH back to Him but by JESUS.
As for life forms on other planets, this is simply not for us to know, why? Because it is not relevant to OUR faith in God. IF there is intelligent/spiritual life on other planets, then the ONE TRUE GOD would have for THEM THEIR ONE TRUE path to God... What THAT path might be is not for us to know and not NECESSARY for us to know.
At the end of time, all religions and all people will be JUDGED by God, but all of humankind will NOT be one with Him, that is NOT His plan! For someone who says they are Christian, you are not fully informed as to the basic tenets of your faith. Best you go to your minister and consult with him/her.
Have a blessed day!

Seriously, you need a check-up, from the neck up.
Apparently you've bought into the other white Jesus (take-off on 'the other white meat', pork, commercial) The plastic, long-haired, blue eyed, hippy haired 'jesus', with the false gospel of 'let's love everybody' join hands and sing kumbaya.
Your gospel does not bring the sword, but a butter knife. It wreaks of humanism, and you will be the first in line to persecute the true Christians, because of their 'hate speech'.
True enough, there is one God, He just isn't currently recognized by you.
***********************************************************
We are commanded to judge those who claim the name of Christ. We are told not to judge falsely, nor in a way in which we would not also submit ourselves. Again you show yourself unregenerate by not knowing this simple basic biblical truth.
I do not rail against you with silly sayings such as the one you have used, but I take solace in the fact that the Lord rebukes those who would slander His saints. This is what is called 'meekness', a gift from God. This is a great gift from God, of which you are, not surprisingly, also ignorant.

"I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -Jesus Christ.
No all religions will not be reconciled to the One true God, because only Christianity worships and believes in the One true God. The above statement by the Lord makes it crystal clear that there is only one way to God and eternal life, and that's through Him. All other religions are of Satan and are false prophets, false christs etc. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are hazardous to the immortal soul. Jesus Christ/ God and the Bible are not tolerant of any other religion. One only needs to read through the Bible to see this.

If intelligent life on other planets in the galaxy believe in a god (this is not a given - man may be the only creature that came up with this), would they also be created in His image? Do they look like us?

The Old Testament and the New Testaments, the Quaran, and all other religious texts are life guides for those that follow the given religion. I believe G-d is who you make him or her up to be in your head. Those that believe in one true G-d are typically of Jewish, Christian, or Islamic faith and they all believe in the same G-d.

We might call Him by different names, but whether we call Him "Jesus," "Allah," or "Fred," we are all praying to the same God.
