Could the names (labels) such as God, Govinda, Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, and etcetera all be describing the very same "Supreme Being?"
And that the only reason there's such a thing as different religions is because of small details that people become fanatic about; that the Bible, Bhagavad-Gita, Qur'an, Torah, Vedic scriptures and others are all attempting to communicate the same message, just told in different ways? Discuss. |

I don't think they are describing the same being because the beliefs are not even the same. From what I hear about Jehovahs Witness's is that they don't believe that Jesus is God, they believe he was mereley only a prophet and nothing more. They worship from what I hear an angel named Michael. The others I don't know about and I've never heard of Govinda.

Well, that's why I stated that it's possibly only the details that are the reason for the coming of such differentiated names. Details such as that Jesus is God, or Jesus is not God, etc.Like, why are there so many variations of Christianity? Some say it's over the small details, suggesting that people are just complicating the same general message that God was trying to communicate. And as a note, Govinda is just another name for Krishna (which could just be another name for a Surpreme Being?), which has its roots in the Bhagavad-Gita. |
