"because the harvest is come" - Whose God?


Ruling Party LDP Bldg. and PM Office Bldg., Tokyo

Whose God?

Why cannot mankind hold one religion?

Does it mean that there are Gods as many as the number of religions?  

At least, it looks reasonable to think that there are three Gods: each for Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

But of course there can be the God of these three Gods.

However, the Devil or Satan, namely the king of evil spirits, seems to be only one while it works all over the world doing the same bad trick on people everywhere.

Or at least nobody minds how many kings of devils are in this world.  Satan cannot be a source of true wisdom, literature, philosophy, and science which are foundation of human wealth.    

On thing sure is that the God wants every human being to respect Him in a unique manner.  Different people are expected to show their faith in the God different ways.

In fact any two Judaists believe in the God in different ways.   In fact any two Christians believe in the God in different ways.  And, in fact any two Muslims believe in the God in different ways.

The God of Judaists never says to destroy the Gods of Christians and Muslims.  The God of Christians never says to destroy the Gods of Judaists and Muslims.  The God of Muslims never says to destroy the Gods of Judaists and Christians.

From other perspective, it might be very natural to say, "My God cannot be your God.  All I know is my God is true god."

In most cases, most people respect Satan more than their gods, so that it might not matter, but still it sounds good to hear, "Your God is my God."

Mar 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mar 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
Mar 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mar 4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
