    Hashem as the single Source of creation (Ancient Yisraeli / Yehudi Concept)

    In this thread I will be addressing the issue of whether or not the ancestors of modern day Torath Mosheh and Orthodox Jews at some point changed from following the fundamentals of the Torah as expressed in the Talmud and by the Rishonim. The Torah fundamental I will be addressing is the nature...

    Interaction

    I recently had said that monotheism is a contradiction because it is impossible to not be of the Universe yet be involved in it in so many ways. That's probably not true. I mean, look at the Internet. I'm interacting with all of you despite not being in your house. But exactly what does God do...

    Mormons: Monolatry/Henotheism Question

    Hi All, I have a question for Mormons: I've frequently heard that Mormons believe in Monolatry--the belief that there are multiple gods, but only one is to be worshipped. (I think Henotheism means essentially the same thing, but I'm not entirely certain). I also understand that in Mormon...

    Why are Your Theological Beliefs Correct?

    This thread is inspired by this thread that I made exactly two months ago. I realize now that thread had certain errors to it that I desire to correct with this thread. First, that thread was in Interfaith Discussion, which is fine, but looking back on that thread from the very beginning there...

    What Type of Theologies Do You Believe In?

    The original source: Spectra of Religion and Magic Upon my research for theology spectrums I came across an article detailing eight distinct theologies abroad a wide range of differing viewpoints regarding God. This includes: transtheism, atheism, agnosticism, panentheism, pantheism...

    CHRISTIANS ONLY: Trinitarian Christianity - Monotheistic or Polytheistic?

    I am confident in saying that Christians view themselves as monotheistic. Whether they are Unitarian or trinitarian Christians, all Christians see themselves with the belief of one God. Trinitarians, which make up the vast majority of Christianity, see God in three forms: The Father, The Son and...

    The POE From a Heathen Perspective

    Over the past week or so, Meow Mix has made a few wonderful threads illustrating the Problem of Evil (POE) and the inconsistencies (well, problems) therein. In a nutshell the Problem of Evil is as follows: "God Almighty is the highest good!" "Well then why is there a load of bad in the world?"...

    Christian Polytheism explains Strange Verses of Bible

    If something feels distasteful to extremes, then that something is certainly wrong. Hear your heart! I have no conflicts with the seven Church Councils. I am not a heretic. I speak for my Church. The highest authority in Eastern Orthodox Christianity is the first seven Church Councils. I can not...

    Allah - The word and the idea of monotheism in the book called "Al Qur'an"

    Allah is a conjunction of Al and Ilah. Al = the, and Ilah = God, Divinity or Deity. Thus the word Allah simply means The God or The Deity that defines monotheism in one word. It is equaling the use of the words “THE MOTHER”, because a person will have one mother. When you say “The Deity” it...

    I Think I'm a Monotheist

    Hello Everyone, I am fairly new to the forums. When I signed up, I said that I was a Pantheist but then saw that Pantheists supposedly don't pray and don't really believe in a God working in this world. I very much do. I have a very miraculous life--some people would say many coincidences (of...

    Can atheists reconcile with theists?

    This is a somewhat lighthearted attempt to try and find common ground around the fringes of beliefs of both - Turn on the captions if you cannot understand his accent Fair warning - he does not answer the question in a straightforward way - but that is typical of the way he interacts - his goal...

    Do Messianic Christians in general believe in YHVH the One and Only God or in the Trinity?

    I am an Arab, and i try to uphold the Tora and the Gospel as well besides the Quran. I believe in Yehovah the Father being the one and only God and that there is no deity besides Hes. What about the majority of Messianic Christians? Do they believe that Yehovah is the one and only God? Or do...

    I wonder if the Vedas are also inspired by the One and Only God, our Father, who created the Heavens and the Earth, your God, my God, the God of everything and everyone. Now i am reading a translation, but the translation is polytheistic. And i don't trust translations, because 99% of the...

    Within the Arena of Human Accountability: God vs. Gods

    I was speaking with my brother on a number of topics and he more or less accidentally blurted something out in a fit of thought that got me thinking. In the case of belief in multiple gods that each attend to an area of reality - for example a wind god, sun god, sea god, etc., the humans...

    Bias , monotheism, polytheism and arguments

    We all have our own personal bias whether we recognize it or not. We all have things we favor and we all have things we have personal issues with. Sometimes these bleed over into the arguments we will and won’t consider and why we agree with one side or another. I notice in myself a bias...

    What are the best arguments in favor of theism and against atheism?

    What arguments do you believe point to there being a God or gods and why do you think this makes more sense than the idea that there are no gods? I am personally a non-believer but I would greatly like to hear arguments against this position and possibly find a religion that at least makes...

    Did a major portion of Egyptians believe in monotheism?

    Egypt's civilization is considered to have begun about 5000 BC, and its writing is dated to have begun in 3500-3100 BC. The First Egyptian Dynasty dates from 3100 BC. Scholars debate the extent of monotheism in ancient Egypt, and those who find monotheism in their religion may point to the...
