God vs gods and goddesses Mahatma Gandhi once said that he was a Hindu, but he said that he was also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew and he ended the quote by saying that we all are. And that got me thinking about how can Gandhi and I and everyone else, believe in all of those religions? How are we all a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and a Jew?

not do any good if we simply view the Bible as a text book. This is why we cannot refer it, sprinkle it, or concordance it. The Bible speaks in a manner of unfolding a grand drama.
