Ep.91 - All Religions Lead to the Same God - Really?
Description
Whether we understand it or not, statistically we live in a very religious-orientated world. Close to 85% of the global population, from around 188 countries, identifies with a religious group. This is close to 3.3 billion people (roughly 55%) of the world population. Of the 4,000 various religious groups, researchers often categorise them under five main headings; Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism. Of these, only Christianity, Islam & Judaism would be monotheistic
There are those who would argue that given these various religions, especially the monotheistic religions, all worship a supreme God, wouldn’t it be fair to say they all worship a similar, if not the same, God? Does the Bible ultimately allow for such a multiplicity of expressions when it comes to the worship of a divine being?
This week, the Curious team ponders some hard and honest questions about the nature of monotheism and religion. They wonder whether the various world religions, especially those monotheistic religions, actually allow for similarity and whether Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and Christians define an identical God.
