“whatever path they may travel,
it leads to me in the end.”

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

“Foolish men talk of religion
in cheap, sentimental words,
leaning on the Scriptures”

1Co 1:23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles,
1Co 1:24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
1Co 1:25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

Yeah… and God came from Teman as well…text without context is always a pre-text.

Allow me to bring yet another great religious text into this discussion: Hinduism’s ‘Bhagavad Gita’. Verse 11 of Chapter 4 (in which the speaker is God) reads:

“However men try to reach me,
I return their love with my love;
whatever path they may travel,
it leads to me in the end.”

Another favorite of mine is Chapter 2, Verses 42 and 43:

“Foolish men talk of religion
in cheap, sentimental words,
leaning on the Scriptures: ‘God
speaks here, and speaks here alone.’
Driven by desire for pleasure
and power, caught up in ritual,
they strive to gain heaven; but rebirth
is the only result of their striving.”

And to counter the point that Allah is supposedly a being of evil, and “Jehova” strictly a being of good, let’s not forget Chapter 45, Verse 7 of Isaiah:

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

God is God. Regardless of the names we give Him or paths we tread to reach Him, He waits patiently at the end.
