We continue our series called Un-Defining God with this thought provoking solo hosted episode in which Jeffrey discusses the topic "Is God By Any Other Name Still The Same". How we define, believe, and see the idea of God has a great deal to do with how we view and accept others. While we know there are literally thousands of different religions, beliefs, denominations, and sects that are influenced by various traditions, backgrounds, geographies, races, and nationalities it would be comparable to winning the lottery every day of your life to "pick the right one" if all others were false or untrue. 

Most understand God, the divine, the universe, the creator (I'm using these terms purposely as they're discussed in this episode) to be pure love, without judgement, and the creator of all that is. But many, however, also understand this loving God to be one that demands strict obedience and to waver would land one in the pits of hell fire for eternity. This type of thinking is why many feel such pressure to maintain a strict understanding of who God is, what name we call him (it), and why other religious names of or for God are often deemed blasphemous. 

I hope you have an open mind as I discuss this topic and that in the end, it will free you from judgement, criticism, hatred, and condemnation of others who's walk with the divine has been different that yours. Be Blessed.
