Is there a religion that matches this?

Question

a belief in one god, but not jesus, dont believe the bible is based on actual events or God's word. believes there is a heaven and hell, believes it is good vs. evil.

Answer 1

Muslims,,,we believe in god alone,, we believe Jesus is a prophet, but not god, or gods son,, but we do believe the bible is one of the Revelations sent down , so maybe there is no religion matches that

Answer 2

I'm not sure if any religion fits all of your criteria. Something as complex as a religion is far too easy to oversimplify in a setting such as this. Zoroastrianism is ostensibly monotheistic with Ahura Mazda as God, but he is not omnipotent and so may not meet that criterion. The Zoroastrian conception of hell is of a place of punishment, but it is not eternal punishment as in many religions because eternal punishment fails to be corrective. Buddhism has many gods but no one eternal God above all others. As someone who is neither a Zoroastrian or Buddhist, I am not fully comfortable relating such matters and I apologize to anyone for mistakes. In the end, I only suggest you do a lot of reading on this subject if it is of importance to you. Also, read actual books, not just webpages.

Answer 3

Islam.we believe in one, unique, incomparable God, Who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone.believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting with Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them). But God’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . We believe that Muhammad is the last prophet sent by God, as God has said:

[Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets... ] (Quran, 33:40)

Muslims believe that God revealed books to His messengers as proof for mankind and as guidance for them. Among these books is the Quran, which God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad . God has guaranteed the Quran’s protection from any corruption or distortion. God has said:

Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption). (Quran, 15:9)

We believe that there is a heaven and hell and it is good vs. evil.

Answer 4

The UU's. My best friend is a Unitarian Universalist. She said her church fired a minister who mentioned Jesus in a sermon.

The quakers (society of friends), too. They believe that a piece of God exists in all living things.

There is a website where you enter all of your religous/spritual beliefs and it tells you which religions match you and by what percentage. Even different sects within a certain religion.

Answer 5

Jewish, sort of, but they regard the True Testement of The Bible as History . Zorastarians would qualify though they don't use The Bible as a text. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorastarianism and to quote said article" Zoroastrianism is the name of the religion and philosophy based on the teachings ascribed to the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathushtra, Zartosht). Mazdaism is the name of the religion that acknowledges the divine authority of Ahura Mazda, proclaimed by Zoroaster to be the one uncreated Creator of all (God).

As demonstrated by Zoroastrian creed and articles of faith, the two terms are effectively synonymous. In a declaration of the creed - the Fravarānē - the adherent states: "... I profess myself a devotee of Mazda, a follower of Zarathustra. ..." (Yasna 12.2, 12.8)
and
Zoroastrianism is uniquely important in the history of religion because of its possible formative links to both Western Abrahamic and Eastern dharmic religious traditions.

Some scholars (Boyce, 1987; Black and Rowley, 1987; Duchesne-Guillemin, 1988) believe that large portions of the eschatology, angelology, and demonology (see Asmodai) of Judaism, a key influence on Christianity and Islam, originated in Zoroastrianism, and were transferred to Judaism during the Babylonian captivity (apparently 100 years before the emergence of "one god" Zoroastrianism) and the Persian era, despite the numerous structural differences in the belief systems, crucial to the faiths, as in the issue over whether the evil spirit is a product of the good spirit.

Some also believe monotheism to have been a Zoroastrian influence, as Deutero-Isaiah supposedly makes a first monotheistic declaration (Isaiah 45:5-7) during the reign of the Persian Kings, that corresponds to his declaration that Jews were to obey Cyrus.


The Cyrus Cylinder, sometimes described as the "first charter of human rights"According to Mary Boyce "Zoroastrianism is the oldest of the revealed credal religions, and it has probably had more influence on mankind, directly or indirectly, than any other single faith... some of its leading doctrines were adopted by Judaism, Christianity and Islam". (Boyce, 1979, pg 1) Zoroastrianism has been proposed as the source of some of the most important post-Torah aspects of Judaic religious thinking, which emerged after the Babylonian captivity, from which Jews were liberated by Cyrus the Great.

This is also a view put forward by King and Moore, who wrote in The Gnostics and Their Remains that

it was from this very creed of Zoroaster that the Jews derived all the angelology of their religion... the belief in a future state; of rewards and punishments, ... the soul's immortality, and the Last Judgment - all of them essential parts of the Zoroastrian scheme. (King, 1887)
Many traits of this ancient religion can be traced back to the culture and beliefs of the proto-Indo-Iranian period, and consequently shares some elements with the Vedic faiths that also have their origins in that era. However, Zoroastrianism was also strongly affected by the later culture of the Iranian Heroic Age (1500 BC onwards), an influence that the Indic religions were not subject to. Scholars have also used evidence from Zoroastrian texts to reconstruct the unreformed earlier stage of proto-Indo-Iranian beliefs, and therefore to identify the culture that evolved into the Vedic religion. This has also formed attempts to characterise the even earlier Proto-Indo-European religion, and so determine the process by which Dyeus became Jupiter, Sabazios, Zeus, and Tyr.

Many aspects of Zoroastrianism are in turn present in the culture and mythologies of the peoples of the greater Persian cultural continent, not least because Ferdowsi incorporated a number of the figures and stories from the Avesta in his epic Shāhnāme.

Sure, and I think Buddhism is it. It preaches good begets good, evil begets evil. That what you do comes around to you eventually, be it good or bad etc. And how about these 5 simple rules for happy living:

3. live simply
4. give more
5. expect less
