I believe that they are all one... I'm panthiest in that I think that the God mentioned in the Bible who describes His/Her existence as "I Am" is a bit more than a really big angel. I think that other "gods and goddesses" like the greek, celtic ect. dieties were human or spiritual beings that got closer to the collective whole that IS God but are not any more special than say you or I because we are all connected through God, it's just a matter of how much we hide from ourselves. As for hell, I look towards the Astral, there are both documented lower and higher worlds, depending on vibration. That's long enough lol

Is the all God /Goddess, one?
I believe that there is One Divine Entity who is genderless. However, because we are but mere humans, we have a hard time trying to grasp such a concept. So over man kind's history we've given this Great Divine Entity many faces, many names, different genders, ect., all in an attempt to make this Great Divine Entity more familar to us. Yes, I do believe all the God and Goddesses of the world throughout mankind's history is this one Great Divine Entity.

Do you think Jesus is the only savior?
No. Jesus is but one of many "sons" of Gods and Goddesses which died and were resurrected. All one has to do is dig a little into ancient religious history to know this. Do I believe Jesus is the only way to blessed eternal life in Heaven? No.

Do you believe you will go to Hell if you sin?
I have a rather eclectic view on life after death. I believe in reincarnation. I don't believe that a human soul reincarnates into animal bodies, though. I believe that once a soul learns all it's supposed to learn it gets it's reward... maybe it's in a place like heaven. I also believe that certain souls who just can't seem to learn the lessons they need to learn they are ultimately damned to continueally reincarnate over and over again making the same horrible mistakes in life... in a way damning themselves in a type of "hell" never fulfilling all that their soul needs to know before being rewarded. I do believe in ghosts for I've had my own paranormal experiences. How do the spirits of the dead fit into my views of the afterlife? I never claimed to have it all figured out... I do know I'm ever questioning and ever learning.

Lets seegrumble

Yea, I guess I believe in God and Jesus being the savior, but I am not so sure on the hell thing. I have my doubts about hell being what most people think it is. If it does exist I don't think its a permanent state. A God so full of mercy, love, and forgiveness would not subject someone to eternal damnation. That is my opinion though.

Yes. In Ifa cosmology, Oludumare (GODS) is consciousness all things in nature and other orishas (god like manifestations of same sources intertiwided in nature manifesting a polarity of balance. In other words the convenat, that is creation is emanation from source and all matter, thing, etc, are but a reflection of the ground of being. So in Ifa, emanation from source is called Orisha (Obalata, energy of pure white light, Sango, energy of thunder, strategy, Justice and orphans, Oshun, energy of joy, moment, water, freshwater, love, sensuality, Oya, tempest, wind, tornado, Yemoya, Ocean spirit , mother, womb, Ogun, metal and technilogy, creativity, oder, key to spitituality, Esu, trixter, messenger. to name a few. all orisha have a opposite manifestation. So Orisha is a natural force in nature directly form its own consciousness, the source, GOD. As to man, Ifa believes ORI is a vessel taht is able to process conscious thought, it is an intergration of thought and emotion. when an elder is admonishing a person to think, they point to the heart and not head. Ori has four distinct arenas of perspection, we think about inner self, we acknowledge OUr relationship with other people evaluae levels of trust and empathy, ability to examine pasgt (acess memory) and abiltiy to invision the future (active imagination). the four modes of consciousness can be symbolized by a circle sectioned into four quadrants.
Do you think Jesus is the only savor?

No Ifa believe that aligning one heart and ori will lead to destiny regardless of personafication. But IWE Pele has to be practised to acheive this. Many Yoruba people believe that the spirit of Orunmila, is the same of Buddha, Christ, mohammid, etc. so all path lead to truth but it the truth within path. For example, judeo-Kabala, Christian, Mystical christinity, Muslium, Sufism, Druidism, Earth center, Dragon king and Queen, to name a few. Jesus is a phophet and was able to evalate hie consciousness but people took teaching in there own hands from certain institution making him the only son of GOD, gee, I wonder why?
Do you believe you will go to Hell if you sin?

Ifa does not believe in hell or sin, everything has a polarity cahnge to it. We believe in reincarnation via our ancestor, do our DNA carries the remants of out ancestor and must be reverened to follow one destiny, so all have right to acestor communication and solution to fix ORI to reach destiny in oder to return in a better form of consciousness when enter another human vessel. so ori had influence over our actions, for instance addiction, sexual abuse, that our ancestors engaged in. We believe we are born good and blessed, it when our heart and is not in alignment with Ori that prob come about an need to be fine tuned.
So of what I think based on my religious worship in IFA.
