Believers, please differentiate these gods.

RE: Believers, please differentiate these gods.
Slayer, what is wrong with having an ecumenical approach to religion. I can accept that all the major religions have varying degrees of truth and that adherents can have different opinions about particular aspects. I wouldn't say that even Swedenborg could capture the fullness of truth about spiritual reality. There's always more to learn about God. Knowledge of God comes from two sources: general revelation and specific revelation. Anyone can deduce the existence of basic divinity from the natural world and their own experiences. Hiehgt of pagan inquiry was Plotinus. That gives you a very general outline of God. Each tradition has its own specific texts. Most differences reflect the fact that they are mediated by various individuals throughout many cultures.
