Is Our God The One And Only?
Does any other belief system claim that their “God” is the creator of the universe and everything in it? I ask that because I’m sure someone will ask the inevitable-”How do you know for sure that your God is the one and only?”
Q. I was listening to a radio program today-Way of the Master-and there was the usual discussion. I got to thinking. With what you know and of all your studies about other religions, does any other belief system claim that their “God” is the creator of the universe and everything in it? Also does any other belief system take credit for claiming its “God” is the author of our conscience- ie: the 10 commandments?
I ask that because I’m sure someone will ask the inevitable-”How do you know for sure that your God is the one and only?”
A. I don’t know if other religions deal with the Creation, or if so how they do it. But I do know that the God of the Bible is the only one who validates Himself to us. He does this through prophecy, by telling us in advance that He’s going to do something and then doing it. None of the other so-called Holy Writings contain the record of their god predicting and then performing with 100% accuracy. Ours does and He even challenges us to find someone else like Him. In Isaiah 44:6-8, He says:
“This is what the LORD says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come—yes, let him foretell what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”
