What religion is it if you only believe in God but no prophets?

Question

Well, my mom and I believe in God and only God. We pray, but don't go to church. And we don't believe in prophets like Muhammad or Jesus. However, my grandparents and cousins and other relatives who are generations above us practice Islam. I'm just confused whether or not I have a religion, and if it is... what is it called?

Answer 1

That would make you a Deist. A Deist is a person who believes in a God, but believes God has taken a hands-off approach (for instance, God doesn't send prophets) with human life. Now, there are different types of Deists. For instance, George Washington and many of the Founding Fathers of the United States were Christian Deists, because they were Deist but had more Christian tendencies as well. From what I can tell, you'd be a Muslim-Deist.

I could be wrong about this. Regardless, here is an article from Wikipedia.org on Deism that I hope you find useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism

Answer 2

It sounds like you have a watered down form of Islam. Next, you must ask yourself if this is what you want. If it is, fine. If not, then what do you want...?

It would be a good idea to started by examining the faiths which pre-existed Islam, namely Judaism and Christianity. (Not necessarily the modern versions, either, but the way they were before Islam came along.

You have a lot of studying before you! good luck!

Answer 3

Most New Thought churches are not Prophet cults. Divine Science, Unity, Religious Science....

Answer 4

From what I can tell, none of the major religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism) really fit. However, if you wish to research a bit, I have found an article with major other major religious groups: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religions

I hope that helps

Answer 5

"Say: He is God, The One and Only. "God, the Eternal, Absolute."He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Quran 112:1-4]

If you believe in this God, then you should also believe in Quran. and Quran says that God sent Prophets and messengers thoroughout the ages with the message of oneness of God and accountability in the hereafter.

give me one reason, why dont you believe in the messengers of God. after all , they broght the message of worshipping God alone.

"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)."
(Quran, 3:84 & 2:136)

I invite you to read quran,, there you will find out your religoin.


you can read it here....

Answer 7

You seem to have a Chop suey kind of religion-- a problem for sure.

Why not have a look at TRUE CHRISTIANITY-- not the Roamn kind, not the CULT kind.. the old original as was taught originally.

Read SLOWLY, ALONE, Pray directly to GOD about it!

Let me know how you do!

PRAYING for YOU!

Answer 8

you don't have much of anything.
it's impossible to talk to God (you say that you pray) without Jesus being your mediator. without him there is no way to get to God. that's why it's important to believe in the son of God, and accept his free gift of salvation.

Answer 9

May be Hindous, they take their prophet to be Gods, Ram, Hanuman, Krishna, Shiv etc etc....

Answer 10
