Is Allah, Buddha, Christ, and other [God(s)] of different religions the same?

Answer 1

Absolutely NOT!

Allah is just the name of the god of Abraham and is mostly used by the Muslims but can be used by Jews, Christians or any Abrahamic faith.

Christ was a title meaning anointed one and is used to represent the savior or Jesus fro Christians.

Buddha means enlightened one and Siddhartha Gautama (Shakyamuni Buddha or Gautama Buddha) is just one Buddha. There supposedly were others and will be more in the future. Gautama Buddha was a man who through diligent contemplation and meditation reached enlightenment and taught others how to do likewise Any enlightened can be called a Buddha, however the term Bodhisattva or Arhat is usually used.

As a note, Buddha is not a god and his teachings state that gods, as in super powerful entities, especial those that have power over man and the universe, do not exist. Unlike other religions, Buddhism teaches that we are responsible for ourselves and our actions and what we do will determine what will occur in our lives. This is not because some all powerful entity or one of his minions will judge us and make us suffer for our poor actions or praise us for our good actions, but rather because all beings are inherently good and when we do ill willed things, we punish ourselves and when we do good, we praise ourselves with good things. This is Karma.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Trinitarian nature of Christ is not unique, yet, amongst what is contained in the Koran, the bible and the Dama Peda, you have to wonder, what makes each unique, why if anything each should be respected, without knowing why you asked the question, what your background is or what you seek, it beggers belief? What is your mottiff? Surely being fascinated by several arguments for attention is not a worthy reason why to chose amongst what you seek, you could go on forever?

The buddist sees a life force in everything. They do pray, sometimes to ansesters and the idea of Feng Shui is there as an adjunct to arranging your life. Some would say sanity is there too, but no religion ever has the total dominion on such matters.

A Muslim believes it would be okay to lie to a non believer, a bit like being hood winked until they were ready to receive certain truths, where the body mind and soul are in various stages. They pray to God, and Mohammed, various spelling is an inspired profit, some Muslim Sects about two, even hold Christ as slightly higher than just a prophet, an inspired leader with a greater connection to God, unfortunately so too do two Jewish Sects, but both appear to be nothing more than a weaning school for Christians not yet ready to let go.

Various ideas abound in Christianity. Within each an overwhelming amount of interpretation and a variety of denominations as well as various sects within the largest, Roman Catholicism, but most particularly even one denomination or several claim to be inter denominational rather than just multi denominational. Whats in a label, its a technicality. We all believe Jesus is God. Someone else will receit the creed for you, but rather than talk at you, perhaps the unique selling point is that Christ Jesus left us His Holy Spirit both as a paraclete and the fact God is within us, thus the idea of when two or more are gathered in His name is pretty powerful.

Christians are peace loving but fight. During the Communist uprising in China the Dalia Lama had guns issued to the monks and the fired these to scare hardened soldiers away, but not to kill, these soldiers were not killed but many monks were.

What do you want to focus upon? Christ sacrificed his life for those who would hate him. It is worthy, love. But naturally better to live longer.

Answer 3

No Buddha is a documented real person with a philosophy which others made into a religion. Allah and Christ are contrived imaginary beings devised by real persons as the basis for religions. All other gods are made up and recognized by most as so .Why people can't see the same of their own contrived myths is beyond reason.

Answer 4

All gods are aspects of the ONE Divine Unity.

The One is Many.

Buddha is not a deity and Christ is part of the Divine.

Allah is a word meaning god.

Islam believes that Allah has 99 names.

There is indeed but one GOD but humans perceive the Divine in a variety of ways !

Answer 5

Yes and No.

I believe that the quantum reality is our true state of being...ie. buddhists believe in an eternal where no one ever dies and no one is ever born. This one true reality can be interpreted an infinite number of ways. That's what God is...He is the unmanifest as well as the manifet, and yet He is none of it.

Buddha and Jesus take on the same path but through different means. The buddha gave his story of a prodigal son higher than himself. There are parallels of transformation using the holy spirit in the gospel of buddha. You do know don't you that Jesus fully identified with the Christ-spirit and never refered to Himself as Jesus...but most christians that knew this were stoned to death by the 14th century. As far as Jesus was concerned, there was no Jesus christ. Sounds awfully similar when the buddha stated there are no other people.

Answer 6

Not even close. Allah is just an Arabic word of God. Jesus was a prophet of God and never claimed to be divine. It was something that Christians imposed on him 200 years after his death. Buddha was also a man and he's worshipped in many countries, but mercifully he was never declared as God by anyone.

Answer 7

I am a Muslim
Allah - the arabic word meaning God, the one and only true God. Allah does not have a plural meaning.
Jesus- The messenger of Allah
Buddha- unknown but not God

There is only one God.
He is one, the one who all depends, He is the all-knower the all- seer, the one who posses all power. He resembles nothing and he is the owner of everything that exist. He is the one who gives life and cause death. He is the one who created the sun and the moon which run on fixed courses. Allah is the only owner and the only ruling judge on the day of resurrection.
All religions is not the same because some they order you to worship other beings except Allah. The set up partners with Allah. They lie against Allah. They make what Allah made legal illegal and vice versa.

Answer 8

Not the same human form, but from the same spiritual energy. Many wonderful messangers came to earth, in different ethnic guises, to try and teach the same message,
Sadly however, all of their teachings have been split by the fundamentalists and extremists, who have missed their message entirely.
That is why we should understand everyone's religion and see that the basic message is the same. There are wonderful, good Muslims, Budhists, Hindu's etc. living a loving giving life and then there are the other "people" sadly.
Look at the smiling face of the Dali Lama, what a sweet soul he is, trying so hard to be a peaceful man under such terrible circumstances that his country Tibet, is going through. There is an example of foregivness, patience, non-judgement, non-violance and love, pure love.

Answer 9

However one believes there is a God of their choice. Whether it is the Heavenly father, Allah, the wind, rain, and fire, or whichever you want. They are all different, but correct for that person. Even in the different types of Christianity people see God or Jesus, God and Jesus, or Both as one. All are correct, all are wrong. The only correct view of God is the one in someone's heart.

Answer 10

Allah - arabic name for God

Buddha - not God, but nice spiritual guy

Christ - special prophet, brought the "Injil" (Gospel), still to come back to Earth to help people on Judgement Day and bring peace on Earth for a few years

Other Gods - Greek Gods/Goddesses, they have fancy names I guess
