Monotheism

Arti Dhand RLG100Y1 Monotheism, as a prominent branch in religions, is considered by many thinkers as the superior one, comparing with all other forms. However, consider the historical aspects of Judaism, it seems that definite belief in one deity leads to violence. By studying both Jewish scriptures and observing present-day violent behaviour, I try to explore how intolerance and exclusiveness of monotheism can breed violence. A widespread point of view is that monotheism is more advanced that

Islam emerged as a powerful religion in the seventh century. Prior to this, Christianity and Judaism dominated life throughout the Middle East and Europe. In order to develop as a system of faith, Islam borrowed ideas such as monotheism, an afterlife and many other concepts from the two prominent religions. Hence, Islam was revolutionary for the introduction of controversial values such as the rejection of Jesus Christ and its distinct differences in beliefs. Ever since its rise to popularity,

In today’s times, the two most popular beliefs are either monotheism, believing in a single all-powerful divinity or God which entail Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In much of the world however, in many parts of Asia, polytheism or a belief in multiple divinities or Gods, has been made popular for centuries. Atheists and the people of the western monotheists together talk badly about polytheism and their beliefs as either being ignorant or pagan in their responses. Narrow

According to Jaspers, the period between 800 to 200 B.C.E. was the moment in which all infrastructure that dominates the ongoing civilization that came to being. The Axial Age plays the middle or centre, radical, or very important role in human history. The concept is not globally agreed with, however, because it entails a knowing ruling effort behind the unfolding of what happened in the past. The New Axial Age today illustrates that man are starting to become more aware of being as a whole

Monotheist A monotheist is one that believes that there is only one God. Monotheists usually share the religion of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. I happen to share the religion of Christianity and believe that there is only one God. I’m going to prove that no other Gods exist except for one. For the atheist and the polytheist, I will show you why your belief is false, and why you should change your belief to a monotheistic belief. First, I want to start with the three reasons why I believe that

as the defining common origin leading to the monotheism. However, it’s often overlooked that the transition from Judaic polytheistic monolateralism (believing in several gods, but choosing one ‘patron god’ to primarily worship) to monotheism did not start until the Babylonian exile, while the stories of Abraham took place in the very early history of Israel, in which neither the name for god Yahweh nor the believe in only one god existed. Monotheism as

members. As a result of its size there are many different branches of it, each interpreting monotheism in a different way. However, Christianity that employs the Nicene Creed as the basis for their doctrine is no longer practicing a monotheistic religion. Because of the countless ways that monotheism is defined to fit the religion it can be difficult to categorize what Christian monotheism actually is. Monotheism is defined as the “doctrine belief that there is one god” (Dictionary). Islam, Judaism,

The Source and Cause of Violent Tendencies in Humans Philosophers since the beginning of time have debated over the source and cause of violent tendencies in humans that in turn produce global conflicts, to solve the age old question, man or beast? Global conflict can with out a doubt be completely accredited to the human race, but what are the particular reasons for humans to cause such conflicts? There are many topics that have been argued by philosophers and historians over the connection between

not lack anything in terms of opening a way for us to be conscious of God’s nature. This claim is made by Schelling mainly in relation to the Trinitarian representation of God. As mentioned above, just like Schelling expands the understanding of monotheism, similarly he gives an account of the dogma of the Trinity as a representation of God as the spiritual union of the three potencies. Accordingly, as mythology presents imperfect representations of the three potencies, its representations are

punishment of the afterlife, the meaning end of time, and the role of Jews in the integrated world. Reform Judaism wants to more tolerant of non-Jewish religions as well. Monotheism: this means the belief that there is only one God. Monotheism is present within all three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Monotheism should be a source of unity for all three of the Abrahamic religions. It should provide an opportunity to unite among all three religions.
