Who is God? Most cultures seem to have one. Is anyone truly been able to prove their god is different from the rest? Maybe there is not a different god. All these gods that rule the followers’ lives could all be the same god viewed from different perspectives.

If each of these gods are better than everyone, would it be nonsense to assume that they were all the same god. Rudyard Kipling added into “The Mark of the Beast” the native proverb which asks the simple question “...do you or I know which are the stronger?”. There could potentially not be a stronger god because they could be the same god (The Mark). This God would be the best, the one and only god, majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, merciful, and compassionate. This of course adding the qualities from the religions together. Each of the quotes puts how their religion’s god is the God. If each of these religions claim that their religion has the ruler of the universe, how could one not question if it is the same person as the other

    Two religions, Islam and Christianity, were both founded by Abraham and his sons. Even with the same family founding them they have very diverse similarities and differences. Within both passages found in the Koran, Sura 93, and the Bible, Psalms 23, similar points are expressed. Although they describe a similar praise to their God, dictions and phrases from Sura 93 expressed through rhetorical questions change the passage into something with an accusable tone. Each passage shows a similar message of showing praise for their God because of all the things he’s provided the reader.…

    Certainly, a fundamental area of disagreement is whether Muhammad was a true prophet of God. However, it 's truly heartbreaking that monotheism has regressed to a debate over "whose God is the real God." So much human suffering could be averted if the emphasis could be rightly shifted to "we 're all humans on a path to the one God. Both Judaism and Islam believe that God created humankind with free will for the purpose of obedience and service to Him. In the book of Genesis from the Old Testament, the biblical story of the fall of Adam is detailed.…

    This passage is from the book "The Rig Veda" by Wendy Doniger, Hymn # 10.129 - Creation Hymn, p. 6, 7. This hymn is an example of earliest religion speculations which have little common with modern philosophy, and it is just a beginning of speculative philosophical talks. This is more speculation than statement, because it leaves unanswered the question of whence -from what material - this creation came into being.…

    In Plato's Euthyphro, Socrates introduces a problem to Euthyphro asking whether “the pious [is] being loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is being loved by gods” (Plato 12). One can better understand this concept by relating the Euthyphro Dilemma to the Divine Command Theory and examining the potential philosophical implications associated with the two while indicating their errors. The Divine Command Theory states that morality is “somehow dependent upon God” and that it “consists in obedience to God’s commands”. The Divine Command Theory also says that it’s basis is that it is “ultimately based on the commands or character of God” (Austin).…

The existence of the gods was not questioned by the greeks for many years. Nature philosophers came into being when they started asking why and tearing down the world brought on by Homer and Hesiod.…

    Identifying Islamic Ideas By: Mitchell J. Kirschbaum “In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful,” (The Quran, al-Fatihah 1.1) this is how every chapter in the Quran begins, similar to many other religions which shows their submissiveness to an all mighty power named God. While Islam is an Abrahamic tradition and shows many similarities to other monotheistic religions it has a unique way of teaching the message of God and it can be seen as the most inclusive. Although Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have their differences they all do still believe in the same God, so what makes one better than the other?…

    “By the star when it descends (Surah 53:1).” “By the night when it covers; and [by] the day when it appears; And [by] He who created the male and female (Surah 92:1-3).” Allah is swearing by the city, by the stars, and by the creation. This shows very clearly that they are not the same God because Allah is willing to swear by anything. Yahweh only swears by himself because no one and nothing is greater than him.…

    Embracing the Different “Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship the same God, whose teaching has been revealed through the three prophets—Moses, Jesus and latest in time, Muhammad” (Glenn, 2014, p. 181). Judaism, Christianity and Islam purportedly emerged as result of divine revelation from God. Despite what is believed to be a common source, the contemporary interpretations and practices of the traditions put in place by the three major religions, exhibit distinct differences and often deep seeded conflict between and within each group. As it relates to Islam, the concept of Jihad is often touted as the fuel behind the religion’s fervent expansion and more recently as a justification for enacting what some practitioners perceive as a holy war against infidels. This perpetual war is viewed as a necessity, to guard against any outside ideals or system that threatens the integrity of the Islamic faith.…

    God elevates some while undermining others. The distinction between God and god lies in the circumstance or beliefs of the beholder. God in the most literal sense pertains to religion. Whether seen as a singular god of monotheism or a pantheon of gods from polytheism, the transcendent beings are worshipped, inquired, elevated above earthy powers. Religion is a manifestation of human’s need to make sense of the world.…

    Islam is a monotheistic faith centered around belief in the one God (Allah). In this regard, it shares some beliefs with Judaism and Christianity by tracing its history back to the patriarch Abraham, and ultimately to the first prophet, Adam. All the prophets preached the same universal message of belief in one God and kindness to humanity. The last in the series of prophets, according to Muslims, was Muhammad. Muhammad was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia around 570 CE.…

    Jesus Is God Essay

    Jesus Christ is God. As most of modern society knows, this statement is fundamental to the teachings of Christianity. Christians believe that the many prophecies of the Old Testament, such as, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel,” are all fulfilled with the coming of Jesus, giving them evidence that Jesus is God (Isaiah 7:14). For Muslims though, putting Jesus on equal standing with God is considered nothing short of heresy. However, I believe that close study of the Quran can reveal that Islam itself points to the idea that Jesus is God.…
