The book of Ruth in Old Testament: Ruth gave up her former life and followed her friend Naomi back to Israel, a foreign land with foreign people and a foreign God.
Ruth said, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. I will go wherever you go and live wherever you live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. I will die where you die and will be buried there.” Ruth 1:16-17
Ruth saw in the God of Israel the God she knew though it was not her God but Naomi's God.
How many of us would see that the God in other religions and sects is actually the same God they know in their own religion? Need more be said.
If all can be like Ruth, all will be at spiritual peace even if they are in the place of worship of another religion or sect. All can worship God in any other place or religion.

The simple truth is that "Your God is my God and My God is Your God." If men can see this simple truth, then all religions and sects can be one though they appear to be different.
God Almighty may be named Jehovah or Yaweh in Israel, Jade Emperor Yu Huang Shangti in China and Lord Sakra in India but he is still the same God.

The same applies to saints of God. For example, Goddess Kuanyin takes on different forms and identities in different cultures.
The Tai Pi Chew is but a recitation of her 108 identities. She is present in different identities in different cultures and religions. Could she be Virgin Mary? One could never be sure.
Followers of Lord Bo Tien see his presence in any place of worship of any religion or sect. As long as any follower sees the very same basic truth in any religion, sect or temple, he sees the lord saint in that religion, sect or temple.
"He who knows and sees the truth sees and knows me." This the lord saint said.
In one of the seven universal precepts, the lord saint said that we should believe in the saints of all religions and believe in what they taught. All saints are one in God and basic doctrine - the inner truth, the universal or basic truth.
The teachings of saints of all religions may seem different and distinct but they complement and are based on the same God, the same Divinity. The teachings are different versions of the Word or Gospel.
The Word or Gospel is God. The different versions of God in the various religions and sects may portray God differently but God is one and same.
All the saints are one in God and Tao, the Way based on the basic doctrine.
"Your Saint is my Saint and my Saint is your Saint. Your God is my God and my God is your God."
Saints like God are omnipresent and extend as pure energy everywhere. They do project themselves as forms only for the mental convenience of beings like men - to be more within grasp of the beings like men.
In reality, they are way beyond form and may even be formless. They are everywhere, in heaven, earth and even in hell so as to save souls. They merge as one divinity and yet are distinct. Thus it is that "your Saint is my Saint and my Saint is your Saint."
Men may be at odds with one another but not God and saints. But men made them appear to be at odds with one another.
They are said to be jealous, angry and intolerant if men believe in other saints. This of course is not possible in heavenly saints but only in men.
How can they be if they are saints and one in Divinity? They are one in the Holy Spirit - the Divine Dispensation, the pure limitless living life energy that is alive and ever vibrant here and everywhere.
Let us put things right and in correct perspectives. Saints are saints. They are not men. Your saint is my saint and my saint is your saint. Your God is my God and my God is your God. Does it matter if you are in a church, temple or synagogue?
For instance, if you know the doctrine, you see Ji Gong in Lord Bo Tien and Lord Bo Tien in Ji Gong but they are not one but two saints yet in a way still one.
It would not be impossible to see Buddha in Jesus and Jesus in Buddha but many would not agree with you if you do.
