He is the master of all being and He has no form.<br /><br />Jade Emperor - A Taoist deity but said to be a star in constellation.<br /><br />3 pure ones - 3 Taoist masters only one is said to be Loozi 老子, the other 2 are fable characters.<br /><br />Jesus - Should not be treated as God. This is the difference between Christian and Islam. In Islam, Jesus is only a prophet and it is forbidden to treat him as God.<br /><br />Since most of Taoist supreme deities are fables, some are taken from Buddhism and Hinduism, and most spirits are from ancestral worships; it is fair to say that Taoists spirits are mostly ghosts.<br /><br />LiewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093729754470534731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803643713048527093.post-11194267676803166182018-09-04T08:12:29.499-07:002018-09-04T08:12:29.499-07:00Mr. Liew,

I thought that there is no discriminatory or religious barriers. In light of this, I believed that the Jade Emperor and the Abrahamic God are the same God, but different names due to cultures, traditions, and beliefs of those different areas. Please clarify Mr. Liew.<br /><br />Much appreciation,<br /><br /><br />Danny Danny Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651574897942266315noreply@blogger.com
