7/31/2019 God or Gods by Commonsense & Scriptural Evidence
for All
1/3
God or gods ? By commonsense, logic & Scriptural evidence
for all.
There are people who worship One God and there are people who
worship more than one. The difference in belief
between these two have been led to many wars and even today deep
divisions have been created as both sides
claiming to be true in their belief and unsocial elements of the
society for their vested interest and for political
gains take advantage and disturb the communal harmony which
results in riots from time to time.
The best and easy way to solve the problem is to let all the
people know the truth if there is One God or more than
One or trinity by simply applying the common sense and logic
which every normal human has whether literate orilliterate because
I myself as a layman making an effort for the sake of peace to
bring the people together to the
true belief.
To start with, if anyone asks to own self, how many mothers do I
have? The answer is spontaneously One;
Because the same one mother looks after her children all alone
and independently and fulfills their needs and none
among the children would ever say I have more than one mother to
fulfill my various needs.
Now, look at the animals, birds and rest of the creatures and
see how a single mother among them looks after the
off springs and feed them all alone and independently. These are
the facts and examples demonstrated by the One
who created this world and through His creatures showing His
signs as a Mercy so that everyone should be well
aware of His Oneness who is All Alone and Independent and has
the full control over His creation and He is the only
One worthy of worship.
To those who are not yet ready to accept the truth of Oneness of
God due to any reason, One Almighty God with
His Mercy and Wisdom giving more examples to show His Oneness so
that no one go astray and end up in hell,
therefore, must have another look, like when it comes to elect a
president or head of state or a king, everyone
agrees and says that only one should be elected and nobody will
be ready to accept more than one otherwise they
say there will be chaos in the country and impossible to have
more than one in any case.
In the worldly matters if we are not ready to elect more than a
single person as a king or a president to govern the
country and outright reject more than one then how can anyone do
the justice by believing and worshipping in
more than One Almighty God who runs the whole universe with
utmost precision & perfection. Now the common
sense demands in case there were more than one God then the
disagreements between the gods is disastrous for
the universe beyond our imagination as within no time all living
beings would be ceased to exist because the
complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not
only created the universe but sustains it all alone
and He is alone worthy of worship.
Furthermore, if we all see the religious scriptures of all major
religions Like Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and
Judaism to test the above argument in order to see the
convincing evidence, after having seen the compelling
evidence from commonsense and logic, will have no choice but to
believe and worship Only One God as per the
below scriptures:
Hinduism: Consider the following verse from the Gita: "Those
whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires
surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and
regulations of worship according to their own natures."
[Bhagavad Gita 7:20] The Gita states that people who are
materialistic worship demigods i.e. gods besides the True God.
The Vedas are considered the most sacred of all the Hindu
scriptures. There are four principal Vedas: Rigveda, Yajurveda,
Samveda and Atharvaveda. Yajurveda The following verses from the
Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God: "na tasya
pratima asti "There is no image of Him." [Yajurveda 32:3]5
"shudhama poapvidham" "He is bodyless and pure." [Yajurveda
40:8]6 "Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste" "They enter
darkness, those who worship the natural elements" (Air,
Water, Fire, etc.). "They sink deeper in darkness, those who
worship sambhuti." [Yajurveda 40:9]7 Sambhuti means created
things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.

Christianity: Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is

the one and only LORD. ( Mark 12-29, New Living Translation 2007
) .
Islam: The Final Testament, the Quran proclaims the first
commandment in various verses. Some of them are
reproducedbelow.
"God bears witness that there is no God except He, and so do the
angels and those who possess knowledge. Truthfully and
equitably, He is the absolute God; there is no God but He, the
Almighty, Most Wise." 3:18 ( Holy Quran )
"When they were told, "Laa Elaaha Il lallaah [There is no other
God beside God]," they turned arrogant." 37:35 ( Holy Quran )
"You shall know that: "there is no other God beside God," and
ask forgiveness of your sins and the sins of all believing men
and
women. God is fully aware of your decisions and your ultimate
destiny." 47:19 ( Holy Quran )
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal,
Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none
likeunto Him. 112-1 to 4 ( Holy Quran )
"Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and
the earth were a joined entity, and We
separated them and made from water every living thing? Then will
they not believe?" 21:30 ( Holy Quran )
Surely, those who disbelieve and die while they are unbelievers,
the earth full of gold shall not be accepted from one of them,
though he should offer to ransom himself with it, these it is
who shall have a painful chastisement, and they shall have no
helpers. 3:91 ( Holy Quran )
And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and
does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."
41:33 ( Holy Quran ).
O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before
you, that you may become righteous
(Holy Quran 2:21)
O people! Remember the favour of Allah upon you; is there a
Creator other than Allah who can provide you sustenance from
the sky and the earth? There is no God except Him; so where are
you reverting? 35:3( Holy Quran ).
Proclaim, Just show me your partners (false deities) whom you
worship other than Allah; show me which part of the earth
have they created - or do they have any share in the heavens? Or
have We given them some Book, so they are on its clear
proofs? In fact the unjust do not give promises to each other,
except of deceit. 35:40( Holy Quran ).

Judaism:You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything
in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in
the waters below. Exodus 20:4
I hope by now all very well understood the truth and got the
message loud and clear as One Almighty God is
demonstrating his Oneness again and again in every way of life
so that all believe and worship only One God so that
much needed peace prevail in this world and all human beings
safely go to heaven after the ultimate death because
the unforgivable sin is to worship more than One Almighty God
and associate partners with Him, as a mercy He isproving to all
including layman like me and illiterate ones that He is Alone
worthy of worship and no one has an
excuse as Almighty God has sent a warner to every nation right
from the first man on earth to worship Him alone.
