i am not for or against, i simply want you opinion please.
recently i watched something about scientology and their belief.
don't you think that God showed their prophet something or another way of worship and belief. because if you think well, what the scientologist believe and say can be true( i say, may be and not it is) and happen on a place uniquely.
the story about the aliens could be true and may be, took place in only a part on this planet. not all human being were possessed by the aliens only a few. and this was revealed through God to their prophet.
because hindus have their own beliefs, christians their own, buddhist their own and muslims (oh my God better not say anything) their exceptional way and many others like egyptians, mayas their own beliefs and systems.
but eventually all roads will go to HIM.
i want your opinion plzzzzzzzzz

agreed
Although this is not a popular Christian belief, I find it hard to accept we have God in a box and no one else can have Him. I think He's too mighty for that
By the way, you have 666 points! Better do something quick!lol

There are many religions that believe the same as you said. Particularly some of the polytheistic ones (multiple deities) say that the different personae are just focused splinters of the one whole God.
It does have some logic over the concept of "my way or else". Hard to think of "the one true god" operating that way. There are also non-denominational groups where you can worship and do good works without limiting their membership to particular beliefs. A nicely mixed group can lead to some very enlightening conversations while doing some charity or disaster response work.
By the way, there is a VERY interesting university thesis which talks about how polytheism helped to keep the world from unified war. And that monotheistic religions (one god) led to most of the huge conflicts on the planet. Its predictions, based on the world settling more and more into which of the mono gods they will follow, are pretty scarey.

God showed that Christ is THE WAY (not a way). There are only two truths: God is ALL, everything else is nothing.
The reason for all the different religions, and non-religious, ways is that God is not dealing with the whole world and every race of people at this time. In order to enter God's Kingdom, one must be born again. God's children have a birth order... first born, second born, etc.
At this piont in time only the Head (Christ) has been "born again". Jesus came to pioneer The Way for all mankind, but "each in his own turn". I'm the first-born in my earthly family, my baby brother was born seven years after me...he had to wait his turn. All people will get their turn...so in a round about way, all roads do lead to God. Some people go down dead-end roads and must turn around (repent in Bible language).

The way of the one true God had always been pretty much the same. God told the same basic message to Jesus, Muhammad, Moses, & Abraham. It's their followers who keep changing their ways and claim it's God's way.
Take Christians for example. Today the Catholic Church has many differences than the Orthodox, which is different from the Protestants.
The Jews have similar issues among themselves. The Orthodoxies are different from the reformers, who are different from,..., "you name it"
And Muslims have differences among themselves. The Sunnies, the Shiats, Soofis, ... etc.
I guess follower of all known religions do differ from each other. And those differences grow through time. It’s a human nature, they can hardly agree on any issue.

Christ, Mohamed, Buddha or others they found way to reach God and tried to help others. God is there always and we need to find God. Like everyone will not see Venus planet, as they are not having knowledge and experience, so they need guidance from some person who is having knowledge and experience of seeing Venus. Venus is already there, but you need to understand the way to find and see Venus. Also, different persons may have different opinion about Venus, as they have for God.
God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Well, since the Buddha rejected belief in a Creator God, but, accepted non-creator deities, I guess its safe to say that God Did Not Reveal to him any particular way.

It is not the same God! The God of the Bible is not the same God of all of these religions. The God that they worship is a different God. Not God the Heavenly Father, the Creator of all things, the Beginning and the End of all things. Different God!

Buddha... Come on! The buddha rejected the thought of any God. Why would a God put God-rejecting thoughts into a persons mind and make him as popular as he is???
Buddhism is not based on belief either.
I think you should try study the different religions before making comparisons as you do.

There is only one God. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christ was God in bodily form. Read the book of John. You will see that Christ was not just another prophet. He was and is Lord.
That is why there is only one way

God shows them all different ways..... all leading to the same destination - Him.
I think, he felt that different people have different needs, wants, aspirations and most importantly, flaws. One path ie religion cannot cater to all of this diversity.
Take the example of a trip to New York, say. I might prefer a route spanning the cities of the country so that I can enjoy their hustle and bustle. You might prefer a route of scenic beauty... maybe the calmness and serenity might appeal to you. And another would like a route thro' rocky mountainous areas, another thro' towns and villages.... you get my point?
But at the end of it all, we all reach the same place. In this example, its New York. In the journey called Life, its God.
So religions and their respective prophets are but different ways and their guideposts/roadmaps to the same ultimate destination.
