Examples of Monotheism without Dualism?

Question

So far I can think of 2, if you include Deism.

Can you give me examples of monotheistic beliefs/traditions/religions that don't include a dualist element?

Answer 1

Well actually, there are some movements/sects (whatever you want to call them) within Judaism and Christianity that embrace monism, although these religions have traditionally had strong elements of dualism in mainstream belief.

It's not uncommon to find Christian theologians who believe in non-reductive physicalism, believing that the soul is just another term for conciousness or "life-force," and that the afterlife is resurrection into a new body once history has played out.

I can't think of any monothiestic religions that have little to no traces of dualism however.

Answer 2

A good person with a pure heart taught catholic since birth, would they be destroyed. I dont think they would be you know. Mainly because if you look at it this way, how many good pure people must there have been before the witnesses. (Im not knocking the witnesses but the current organisation only came into being in the 1800s) Why should they be destroyed if they hadnt been given the opportunity to know the truth? It states quite clearly there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous (Acts 24:15).. and that that the ones who never knew Gods way would be given a chance during Christs 1000 year reign to learn it. Revelation 20 People who shouldnt die in armageddon may die due to reasons that cannot be controlled, but if they do then they will be resurrected and if they didnt know the right way they will be given the chance to learn it. The wages sin pays is death, so you have paid off the wage off sin if you die. And you get the chance of accepting Gods way. Romans 6:23 Also with the second part of your question, if they were trully repentant then yes Im sure God would forgive them. But they couldnt just pretend and try to fool God, they really would sincerely deep in their hearts have to be sorry. Acts 26:18

Answer 3

I dont think deism can be qualified as a form of theism.

So I am left guessin about which religion you consider a pure monotheism.
Both Judaism and Islam might qualify in many peoples minds, but they still have that good and evil thing going on.
Judaism developed the Satan figure into a demigod in charge of temptation somewhere about the story of Adam and Eve

There plenty of examples of deism though. From Taoism through Stoicism to the idea of the Gaian Hypethesis.

Answer 4

Pantheism, if you can call belief that all is God a monotheistic religion.

Answer 5

Sufism - a spiritual tradition
