When reading about the ancient gods & goddesses people worshiped, they had different names for the same god or goddesses. Here is an example;
We've been saying for years that it was just a matter of time before the Babylonian chief goddess Ishtar (a.k.a. Inanna in Babylon, Isis in Eygypt, Astarte or Aphrodite in Greece and Libertas/Venus in Rome to name just a few) would once again rise to prominence in world affairs not merely in a mystical manner but in a bold, in-your-face resurgence of Ishtar’s many "mystical" doctrines.
Another example is Mercury was the same god as Hermes.
Would it be safe to say that the Universal God of the Universe or the "Great Architect" or "Creator" is the same God? That we just know him by different names? That none of us are excused from this knowledge?
I'm basing this on Romans 1:19-20
19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
