amen to that but then obviosly its monotheistic since Krishna is the source of everything and that all incarnations are parts or parts of parts of his eternal nature
Thanks I really appreciate for your positive reply . If all of us think in this way, then the world would be a better place to live with no war against religion
Couldn't be further from the truth. allah is not the God of the Bible.
That's right. The problem with saying that everyone worships the same "god" is that the teachings of the various religions themselves will not allow such a thing.
The answers to the question in the OP are conflating two separate issues as if they were the same. They are NOT. The one aspect references the underlying reality . . . how many gods are there? A reality of competing gods would ultimately result in the splitting of reality into different "jurisdictions" using different gods rules and laws, etc. Since there is only one reality immediately apparent to us . . . there is most likely only one God.
The other aspect involves human beliefs ABOUT God and they are all over the place . . . BUT THEY DO NOT define or affect the underlying reality.
There is zero chance Gods of the world will be the same.
Mexican God eats burritos; Chinese God eats egg-rolls.
They are all different.
I'm sure all Gods do poo whatever they Eat
How about if a Mexican is born in China and lives in China? I'm sure he will eat Egg-rolls there and Similarly, a Chinese born in US eats Burgers too . Do you know an African American Chinese Idol? She is very popular in China. Her father is African who lives in US and mother is a Chinese and she lives in China. Unfortunately the girl does not know anything about her father. She speaks Chinese very good but she is not good in English at all.
Conclusion: It does not matter wherever you live. It matters what you do and how you live.
Religion is the main culprit that is creating a problem here. Hinduism says Shiva is the God, Christianity talks about Jesus and his father, Islam talks about Alla, Buddhism talks about Buddha.
But comprehensively, All religions talks about -"Be Good, Do Good, Follow Gods path, Love each other" And linking all these things, All Gods teach about Love.
We people can have many names then how can't the Almighty Creator can't have different names. Additionally, when he can create the universe, it's a very simple thing for him to come in different form as Shiva or Alla or Jesus !!
I wonder why people don't use their common sense !!
Everyone owns a chevy because everybody own a car- a mistake by confusing the "universal" car, for the "particular" make. Two separate things, although closely related. But thinking is all sloppy nowadays, but it all passes as very profound. God is the universal concept-its name (or the idea surrounding it) pulls the particular out of the universal-in the famous words of the new science; one draws a distinction-now that is profound and daring. They are all different and more than likely not compatible, unless one wants a god like that car Johny Cash took one piece at a time and then cobbled together.
Maybe someone can explain this to me. On one of the recent threads, someone mentioned that Christians & Muslims all worship the same God. That Yahweh and Allah are one and the same.
Christians believe in Yahweh. But they believe that he is a portion of the trinity that consists of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are ALL God.

there is only one God but that one God is infinate,you cant put a limit onto him,you cant confine him to one space in time so it is quite possible that He can be many
it is said in the vedas that God has an unlimited amount of forms and names and that each form displayes a particular characteristic like Rama is nobility and virtuosity personified,Vishnu is power and majesty personified while Krishna is the personification of love.

sorry 4 the late reply havn't really been following this tread but yeah your right if everyone could see the same God in all the incarnations then we would see things much clearer but due to missinterpretations of certain scriptures and missing information people get a perverted view of the truth...........thank god the vedas hav'nt been touched.
Outside of Jesus Christ, all other Gods are false Gods, and you can see this in the fact that (ONLY THE BIBLE) speaks with prophecies of authority. Only the Bible knows the future. And the reason for this, is because only the (TRUE GOD) knows the future. THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS THAT JESUS IS GOD. And can you show me any other religious book outside of the Bible that reveals to us the future? Jesus said He did not come to bring peace to the world. That is what your fales Gods tell you. God is looking for those who will take a stand for Him, and the truth. He is not looking for those who imbrace a thousand religions of lies and half truths. Jesus Christ tells us, that if you are lukewarm He will spew you out of His mouth.
Lord Bhuddas birth ,Lord chaitanyas birth,Lord Kalkis birth and many other divinitys birth were predicted in the vedas and not just that theyll be born but where their born and the names of their parents and stuff even Jesus was mentioned in the vedas and if your looking for one for the future, look up Lord Kalki and you will also see that He has also been predicted in the bible its the same person- just google Kalki
Jesus never claimed to be God but the son of God He was always subservient to His Father.and His Father is one of the many expansions of God,one that we dont know much about,we dont know much about Jesus either-- wonder where he was from 12 -30 years of age
and more importantly who was he talkin to
