I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the “no other gods before me” thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

    All religions by definition disagree with others and believe the core beliefs of the other religions to be false.

    Not necessarily. God by definition, as the creator of the universe, does not abide by the universe’s laws. Thus it’s possible to say two opposing things about God which are both true, and nothing you can say can be perfectly true as the limited language can’t describe the unlimited.

      100% agree. God can’t be subject to the law of the universe or he wouldn’t be God. He’d be a human then, have to abide by physics and logic. Wouldn’t be omnipotent, not all-knowing and supernatural things wouldn’t exist. Couldn’t have created the universe in the first place. So he obviously can be anything and its opposite at the same time if he so likes.

      In addition there are lots of religions with the same basis and same god. We just disagree on whether Jesus or Mohammed or whoever was his last messenger.
