Is it possible to believe that all Gods in every religion is real?

Question

I honour a certain pantheon of gods, but I believe that other gods, both in Abrahamic and Non-Abrahamic religions, are real in a sense of being real to the people who believe in them.
I believe in the big bang, I am a strong believer of evolution so I'm not oblivious to the facts, I just believe that gods are real in the sense that when people believe it, it's real.
I think gods give people hope where otherwise there may not be any, in other words they inspire, motivate and push people on with continuing in their lives (obviously, not always in a good way).
Does anyone else share these feelings? Am I making sense at all here?

Answer 1

There is no really easy answer to this question because god is very real in the minds of the people that believe the claim and people tend to act in accordance with their beliefs. You have to understand that all gods were created as a way for people that didn't have the tools or technology to understand the world they lived in. Long ago it was absolute proof that god was upset about something when a child got sick and died. They didn't understand how germs could kill and how they were spread so they would pray to god for forgiveness. All kinds of rituals were conducted to ward off bad things or to bring good ones on. Sacrifices, rain dances, burial rituals and baptism are just a few of these rituals that were very common and still are for much of the population. With the understanding of reality that we currently have there is no reason to believe any of these god claims are real. That does not mean that there can not be a god somewhere that is real but all of the ones that have been created so far don't have credible evidence anymore.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

This is the most sensible of all issues to deal with. If God is real, why would he teach mutually conflicting and contradictory ways to find him? Wouldn't ONE God offer ONE plan to have the best life possible? He knows what's best for us, so why offer some people second best?



You see, no other religion or philosophy offers a plan to deal with our failure. They all teach ways of generating more success, but when we do fail they have no plan for wiping out our "sin".



Hinduism and Buddhism say that our sin will effect our karma and we'll just come back as a lower life form. How cruel. Since our memories are wiped clean during this process of reincarnation, how can we ever learn a lesson from our past mistakes? It's just hit and miss each lifetime -- being punished for past mistakes that we don't even know about.



Islam teaches that we will be allowed into heaven based on our works. All our deeds will be weighed on a scale and if there are more good than bad, then we can go into heaven. If not, too bad for us. BUT, how can a PERFECT God who lives in a PERFECT place let IMPERFECT people in with even, say, 10% sin and selfishness inside them. Wouldn't they just bring in the same "sin virus" and selfishness that we have here on earth? And wouldn't heaven then become corrupted just like earth? And wouldn't it cease to be a PERFECT place to live? How can any God let sin into heaven?



No, it just makes reasonable sense that all human failure would have to be eradicated and all people fully purified if they are going to enter this totally pure place without contaminating it. And that's what the cross does for us! The Jews were the only other people who believed that sin had to be done away with if they wanted to go to heaven. This happened in Old Testament days through animal sacrifices. But since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD they have stopped these sacrifices with no satisfactory explanation as to what happens to their sin now. As Christians, we know that the animal sacrifices are no longer necessary, because Jesus was the final infinite sacrifice for all humanity.

Answer 3

Yes. The people who worshiped them obviously did so for some reason. It's not very nice to say that all of the religions except mine lied about absolutely everything. Most of the ancient polytheistic deities existed as either fallen angels or some other mistaken entity or being. None of whom deserve worship, in my opinion, but that doesn't mean they have nothing to offer

Answer 4

Every aspect of life is run by invisible forces. We call these forces the laws of physics/the nature of the universe. Some people see them as being multiple gods(ie a God for lightening, a god for rain, a god for the sun, a god for the moon, a god for love, a god for hate, etc. While monotheist see all these forces and understand that they work in unity and are not really separate but rather one force expressed in many ways. All of them truly existing but the understanding of them slightly different. They aren't just a someone's beliefs. They are part of reality just as you are.

Answer 5

You make perfect sense and most polytheists would probably agree with your thinking. The deities, in my opinion, are very 'clan' oriented. They are real to those who follow them and have a relationship with them. they don't worry about everyone in the world, just their followers.

Answer 6

I is possible. Its called omnism. My reaction to your views, trying to be as respectful as I can here, is that they do make sense but I dont agree with them. Differing religions make many mutually exclusive claims. It is not possible, for example, that Jesus is god (as Christians believe) and that he is not god (as everyone else believes). Or that the first humans were made from dust and a rib (Judaism and Christianity) or from a blod clot (Islam). I could go on. My view is that all religions cannot be true but its possible that they are all wrong about there being gods.

Answer 7

There's only one God with several different names so yes it's possible and I do respect the God of every religion since he's the one and only God I love too

Answer 8

No. There is either only one God or there is no God.

This is because the religions of the world teach diametrically opposing ideas. Islam teaches to kill those who offend him or reject the teachings of Islam. Jesus said to return good for evil and to minister to and care for those who are lost. God is not schizophrenic and would not create such dichotomy of thought regarding His nature and actions. Different "gods" are not put into the minds of humans by God. They are created out of whole cloth by humans who have allowed themselves to be deluded by Satan.

It would be better for you to step into eternity believing God doesn't exist at all then to be responsible for deluding yourself and others with the idea that God does not know who He is, does not demand worship as the being He is, and that He is capable of deliberately lying to people to get them to believe different ideas about who and what He is.

God never lies to humans or tries to foster belief in any false idea or "god" nor does He deceive people about His nature and the character He possesses.

Answer 9

1. Is there only one true religion?

Jesus taught his followers only one religion, the true religion. It is like a road leading to everlasting life. Jesus said: “Few are finding” that road. (Matthew 7:14) God accepts only worship based on his Word of truth. All true worshippers are united in one faith.—Read John 4:23, 24; 14:6; Ephesians 4:4, 5.



2. What did Jesus say about false Christians?

Jesus warned that false prophets would corrupt Christianity. Outwardly, they seem like true worshippers. Their churches claim to be Christian. But you can recognize such people for what they really are. How? Only true worship produces genuine Christians with recognizable qualities and ways.—Read Matthew 7:13-23.



3. How can you recognize true worshippers?

Consider these five identifying marks:



True worshippers respect the Bible as God’s Word. They strive to live by its principles. So true religion differs from religion that is based on men’s ideas. (Matthew 15:7-9) True worshippers do not preach one thing and practice another.—Read John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

Jesus’ true followers honor God’s name, Jehovah. Jesus honored God’s name by making it known. He helped people to know God and taught them to pray that God’s name be sanctified. (Matthew 6:9) Where you live, which religion makes God’s name known?—Read John 17:26; Romans 10:13, 14.

True Christians preach about God’s Kingdom. God sent Jesus to preach the good news of the Kingdom. God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind. Jesus continued speaking about it until his dying day. (Luke 4:43; 8:1; 23:42, 43) He said that his followers would preach about it. If someone approaches you to speak about God’s Kingdom, to which religion does he likely belong?—Read Matthew 24:14.

Jesus’ followers are no part of this wicked world. You can recognize them by the way they take no part in politics or social conflicts. (John 17:16; 18:36) Also, they do not imitate the world’s harmful practices and attitudes.—Read James 4:4.

True Christians have outstanding love for one another. From God’s Word, they learn to respect all ethnic groups. Although false religions have often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so. (Micah 4:1-3) Rather, true Christians unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others.—Read John 13:34, 35; 1 John 4:20.

4. Can you identify the true religion?

Which religion bases all its teachings on God’s Word, honors God’s name, and proclaims God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope? Which group practices love and shuns war? What do you think?—Read 1 John 3:10-12.

Answer 10

Jesus created a set number of angels. One third of them rebelled. Jesus turned the rebels into demons. Demons were nice-looking as angels, but now are ugly-looking as demons. So, they have to disguise themselves. Antichrist is surrounded by demons, but people see angels of light. Demons fly in UFOs. Demons pretend to be the dead aka ghosts. Demons pretend to be elves, fairies, etc. Demons never do good. Pagan deities are demons. All demons are male. Apemen and elephantmen are cursed masons from the Tower of Babel (Book of Jasher, Chapter 9, Verse 35). All these masons were also male. So, there are no goddesses.

Answer 11

There's only one True God and his name is Jehovah according to his word the bible.

Answer 12

Sure, plenty of people in Neopaganism do. The fact that religions differ on various matters is easily solved by supposing that gods can be wrong, or even dishonest.

Answer 13

You can believe all you want, but belief is not what makes something real. The truth is not dependent on belief.



Jesus Christ is the one true and living God. There are no other gods (only false idols).

Answer 14

God Jehovah teaches that he caused a son to be born, and that son's name was Jesus. God Jehovah also teraches:

"This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased.

Listen to Him!!!'



God Allah teaches:

"Say not the name of Jesus!

Why would Allah have a son? Cannot Allah do all that He intends?"



God Jehovah teaches that in order to honor Him, we are to do everything possible to stay alive in order to tell others about Him. God Jehovah is a god of Life.



God Allah says that the best way to honor him is to DIE during an act of jihad. God Allah is a god of Death



So, God Jehovah says that Jesus is His son, and we live to honor Him.

God Allah says that Allah does not have a son, and that we die to honor Allah..



how can BOTH be right at the same time? A statement can not be both true and untrue at the same time. Jesus cannot exist and not exist at the same time. one cannot live for God and die for God at the same time.



How cay you believe that BOTH of these gods exists at the same time? Two statement which oppose each otehr cannot be true at the same time.



The same holds true for ALL "gods". Only ONE god can be true at all times. all other "gods" are false gods, supported by Satan to drag the ignorant people to Hell.

Answer 15

If you believe the Big Bang and evolotion are "facts," you really are oblivious of "facts."



You can, and do, believe anything you want, but the act of believing doesn't make it real.

Answer 16

There's only one True God and his name is Jehovah according to his word the bible.

Answer 17

I think of Deity as a diamond. You see one facet and I see a different facet, but it's the same diamond.

Answer 18

I think of Deity as a diamond. You see one facet and I see a different facet, but it's the same diamond.

Answer 19

There is only one true God according to 1 Cor. 8:5,6 "For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him"

He has a personal name according to Psalms 83:18 "May people know that you, whose name is JEHOVAH, You alone are the Most High over all the earth."

Answer 20

God is the creator of the universe.

One creation = one God / God head



Therefor there is only one Truth.



Jesus claimed to be the Truth.

Pilot asks "what is Truth?".

Its easy to miss the Truth.

Answer 21

NO - there is only the one true GOD and that is the Christian God who has given us His Word - the Bible as our instruction book for life here on earth.

Answer 22

Is it possible to believe that ? Yes. Is that likely to be the actual truth? No.

Answer 23

Not only possible, there is an obligation to believe in them all as they are all equally lacking in any proof whatsoever.

Answer 24

Is it possible to believe that ? Yes. Is that likely to be the actual truth? No.

Answer 25

Is it possible to believe that ? Yes. Is that likely to be the actual truth? No.

Answer 26

Yes but only one is Real and Holy! Yes the real God is real and He makes us real too!

Answer 27

Is it possible to believe that ? Yes. Is that likely to be the actual truth? No.

Answer 28

Only with modification, as most religions claim their belief is mutually exclusive.

Answer 29

There is no other . God of the bible is God. People may call other things their god, but there is still only one!

Answer 30

All gods in every religion have only one thing in common, they are fictitious.

Answer 31

reality grounded only on individual belief is not reality - it is imagination and disappears when the perspon holding the belief dies

Answer 32

Has a single one ever been proven to exist? No, so no, it is not possible.

Answer 33

Allah (s.w.t) is our Rabb (explanation follows).. My Lord, the Lord of all, the Lord of the worlds. He is the sustain-er of all. Of the birds in the sky and the fish in the water. He who fed me when I was in the womb of my mother. He cherished me when I was helpless and could do nothing as an infant. Of course Allah (s.w.t) does things through a means. So it was my parents whom Allah (s.w.t) was using the means for. Now when I am grown-up and has become a man. Now my mind is saying 'I AM the sustainer of me and my family'' 'How can I feed myself and the family. Am I to close my business for prayer' who would feed them!!! Within the heart 'MONEY' has become a LORD...So to attain it, anything should be done. Adjusting prayer is OK, trimming beard or shaving, whatever... I need to fill my belly of me and my family..



We forget the reality. Allah (s.w.t) is testing for a while to see whom His slave takes as His Lord. We also forget that we are not the only creature on this face of earth. As a Muslim we are trained to remind this FACT five times a day... Muazzin calls us for prayer... Allah is greatest. We repeat in Faathiha (first Chapter of Quran) : Allah you are the Lord of the worlds. In Rukoo, (leaning position in prayer) saying again, Glory be to the Only one Lord .(Rabb). In standing up and in sujood (postration):. Rabb, Rabb.. is repeated... Then the first question in grave'' Who is your Lord'' (Rabb). Who could answer is 'Who took Allah as their Rabb in this life'



In reality Allah is the Lord. He sustains even to those who deny Him. Then how would he forsake His devotees. But as a fact Allah may give little of Dunya (worldly blessings) to those who He really Loves. That's what history tells us. Most of the Prophets (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon them) and Sahaaba (r.a),Allah (s.w.t) is our Rabb. My Lord, the Lord of all, the Lord of the worlds. He is the sustainer of all. Of the birds in the sky and the fish in the water. He who fed me when I was in the womb of my mother. He cherished me when I was helpless and could do nothing as an infant. Of course Allah (s.w.t) does things through a means. Because He is Musabbib al Asbab. So it was my parents whom Allah (s.w.t) was using the means for. Now when I am grown-up and has become a man. Now my mind is saying 'I AM the sustainer of me and my family'' 'How can I feed myself and the family. Am I to close my business for prayer' who would feed them!!! Within the heart 'MONEY' has become a LORD...... so to attain it, anything should be done. Adjusting prayer is OK, trimming beard or shaving, whatever... I need to fill my belly of me and my family..



Subhana-Allah. We forget the reality. Allah (s.w.t) is testing for a while to see whom His slave takes as His Lord. We also forget that we are not the only creature on this face of earth.

In reality Allah is the Lord. He sustains even to those who deny Him. Then how would he forsake His devotees. But as a fact Allah may give little of Dunya to those who He really Loves. That's what history tells us. Most of the Prophets (a.s) and Sahaaba, companions of the Prophet had no much wealth. Our beloved Prophet (s.a.w) never ate his belly full ever. Dunya is not something so good in the sight of Allah. He never ever looked with the eyes of mercy towards it. In fact He gave more Dunya to those who denied Him and remained arrogant. Pharoah had the best while Mosa (a.s) had little. He has prepared for His servants a world beyond this little world. To be forever and eternal. But He gives the Barakat to His good servants. Barkaat does not mean, having much. He makes their life easy and dependent on none but Him. A happy, blissful and pleasing life. Companions of the Prophet had no much wealth. Our beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) never ate his belly full ever. Dunya (worldly affairs) is not something so good in the sight of Allah.

SO GOD OF ISLAM IS THE REAL. Islam was the first religion on earth. Adam (pbuh), the first man on earth was the first Prophet and Mohammed (pbuh) is the last prophet of Islam. Moses and Jesus (peace and blessings be upon them)) invited people to the worship of Allah (SWT) who is only worthy of worship. The qualities of real God is explained briefly in Chapter 112 Al-Ikhlas of Quran.



1 Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;



2 Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;



3 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;



4 And there is none like unto Him.

Answer 34

NOPE!
