I'm a christian and have studied the Bible with the Jehovah's Witnesses. They're the only one's that from what I can see actually follow the Bible and make any sense.
1)Don't bow down to saint's and crosses (Exodus 20:4 “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them )
2) See Christmas as Pagan (enter christmas pagan in any search engine and see what you get)
3) Don't believe in the trinity (John 14:28 ...because the Father is greater than I am, & Acts 7:55 ...being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s glory and of Jesus standing at God’s right hand)
4) Don't believe in a firey hell (Which is translated from the Greek word Hades and Hebrew word Sheohl, simply refering to man's common grave. And the Greek word Gehenna, which is used to symbolise eternal destruction).
5) And use Gods name 'Jehovah' (in most Bible at Exodus 6:3, Exodus 3:15, Psalms 83:18, although it is in the Hebrew scriptures nearly 7000 times, but is translated simply to God or Lord).
and many more things.

Something between Pantheism and ritualistic religions. I believe that Yaweh is everything but is not separate from the universe and does not create rules or care about what people do - my God is more a God of energy and the linking force between everything, it has no agenda.
But I totally agree with a lot of religions in my ethics - I do not try to harm anyone or have prejudices, and try to use my talents and make the most of life.
Good question, well done!

Actually the only thing the bible requires is to be a Christian (Christ Like) Religions are man made. If you go through the bible there is no scriptures stating that we should be anything else.

Seventh Day Adventist. The Holy Spirit made it clear to me that this is the only church on earth that holds to the Truth.

I was raised a Baptist, became Wiccan as a young adult, and have found that for ME, Jehovah's Witnesses have the answers I was searching for all those years.
