The Insidiousness of an Only Pathway to God

Can it be true, according to the Bible, that God can only have one human form? The answer is obviously no, because Jesus said he will come again as a thief in the night, meaning that he will not be recognized in his new form, but only by his works they shall know him.

It is very clear that Jesus credits God with more than one human form and was fully aware of the principle of other forms of God. He was speaking about another one of his coming as God, consistent with the Hindu principle of the manifestation of God at other points in time for a special purpose at the time.

Jesus spoke to a particular group of people who needed assurance of the continuity of their beliefs in God and the continuation of their religion over time in the same vein of Hindu Avataras of God who come with a particular mission at a particular time. It can hardly be a reference to any finality of God and human society in any one point in time, because Jesus also said that many will be called, but few will be chosen.

The anticipation of the coming of Jesus as a thief in the night reminds the Hindu of Lord Krishna who was described as a stealer of butter. The significance of Krishna as a stealer of butter is that he stole the hearts of his devotees after making their hearts as soft as butter by their love for him. It stands to reason that Jesus is another form of an earlier form of God as Lord Krishna, the stealer of butter whom Hindus refer to as a Poorna (full by birth) Avatar of God. It did not require anyone to stop worshipping an earlier or different form of God, with the advent of a new Avatar of God, as Jesus.

There is no doubt, from reading the Bible, that God may take as many human forms, over time, as he wishes, and so can incarnate in any human form. This is a basic Hindu belief, and one that most Christians also believe, since they, too, believe that nothing is impossible with God. While Hindus speak about many forms of God, most Christians speak only about one form of God as Jesus, the only form of God of which they believe they know and about which they read and are told.

It stands to reason that most Christians may be right about one form of God, since time only started for them with the story of Adam and Eve some six thousand or so years ago. Besides, Christianity started formally, as a new religion, some three hundred and twenty five years after the crucifixion of Jesus when the Council of Niceae was formed to launch Christianity as a new religion. One can know much more about other forms of God by reading ancient Hindu scriptures that describe multiple forms of God as Avatars of God much earlier than the advent of Jesus.

When emphasis is placed on God, only in one form, as Jesus, it clearly means that most Christians may find it difficult to accept any previous advent of God in human form in much earlier times. Besides, most Christians confuse multiple forms of God with polytheism. They do not understand divinity as the single screen upon which are projected all the illusions or impermanence of the coming and going of all forms of life, like water bubbles on the ocean of love. They further make monotheism exclusive only to the Abrahamic religions without regard to the Absolute Brahman in Hinduism as the divine substratum as God and as everything.

The false belief that time started with the story of Adam and Eve makes it difficult for most Christians to believe in any other forms of God, and so they stick to their false belief that Jesus is the only form of God that ever existed. Yet, they know quite well that time started much earlier than is believed in the story of Adam and Eve. The evidence of historical findings and religious symbols left by earlier civilizations and religions are proofs that God and religions existed long before what is described in the Christian Bible.

The Avatar of the day, Sathya Sai Baba, re-affirms the Hindu understanding that no one has to give up his favorite form of God to worship another form of God or a new form of God. But that is exactly what most Christians want everyone to do since the advent of Jesus as God.

How ridiculous it is that one should be asked to give up one form of God in favor of another when all forms of God come from the same God as One. Our most ancient scriptures tell us that all pathways lead to salvation in the same God of all through love and critical self inquiry or awareness of the self. Love and salvation is the same objective in every religion. Therefore, it makes all religions the same, but with unique cultural and philosophical differences that do not detract from the belief and worship in any form of God.

The single objective or goal of salvation, as proclaimed by people of the Abrahamic faiths and all other religions, makes all religions the same and equal. It is simply madness that anyone should go about aggressively competing for souls through only one pathway to God. It certainly comes across as their only means for legitimizing their religion and excluding it from the sameness of other religions that lead to salvation just as well.

The reminder of the only one pathway to God is the half empty glass. No matter how full the glass may appear, some look only to the day when the glass will have one drop of water left versus when it will overflow, because it may only be symbolic of their feelings of emptiness left by their false beliefs in a single pathway to God. To see the glass half full makes it much too difficult for them to accept that other religions are legitimate pathways for salvation in the eyes of the God of all and lover of unity in diversity. And so Christianity came up with all kinds of distortions of present and ancient truths.

The emptiness of the glass helps some rejoice in the principle of only one form of God, the one form of God of which they only know, as mistakenly understood in their scriptures which are only a couple thousand years old. They are not willing to listen to accounts of other forms of God that are much earlier than the date of their own scriptures. That is too threatening to their claims of only one form of God from the beginning of their time that makes up their religion as exclusively a one way to God religion.

Hindus worshipped God as one since ancient times. This is written in Hindu scriptures which are much earlier than the development of Christianity as a multi formed religion in the area of some forty thousand of them and still growing. We are told that most Christians know God only in one form, and are prepared to reject the existence of any other forms of God prior to Christianity. Their only excuse for their lack of knowledge about God in form much earlier than that of Jesus is to gain support for describing other forms of God as false Gods which drive the power of their aggression onto other religions.

And so, it gives most Christians some cover for persecuting the followers and believers of other forms of God. It is by far the most overt aggression and destruction ever perpetrated on mankind, only because they fail to understand the truth of multiple forms of God since ancient times. Like the British, most Christians would rather distort and destroy what they do not understand by spreading their only one-way religion for salvation that they do not know is a built-in form of self determination in all the forces of nature.
