Islam believe in only Allah, therefore, Islam can not be refered as Paganism.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam aren't paganism, they even say that paganism is evil. But its just that most of the religions come from paganism, even if it is completely different.

It actually does come from Christianity, but it matters little. And to settle the paganism discussion: Paganism is just a collective term for many religions, most of which happen to be polytheisms.

Are you guys talking through the age or the basic principles? If by years, of course Islam came after Christanity.

Both. I don't know much about Islam, but one of the things I do know is that they believe God (or Allah, if you really must) came to Mohammed with the message that the Christians had corrupted His word and that He was to send one final book to mankind, the Qur'an.

One thing is:
Islam: Jesus is another prophet from God.
Christ: Jesus is THE God in human form.

If Jesus is the son of God, then Christ. would be classified as a Polytheism. Razz

:lol: :lol:
But actually it is, it' a bit like this:

Polytheism:

1. King of the gods (Odin, Zeus...)
2. Other (lower) gods...

Monotheism:

1. God
2. Angels

Well that's not entirely true. Because there are several types of angels, each with a different rank and function. You've got the Seraphim, Cherubim, Guardian Angels, Archangels and some others... And if you look at Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek and many other gods, you see that they sometimes have wings.

Like here:

Spoiler:

So the Angels originated from gods and creatures form earlier religions.

What do you mean?

Look, a god is something that is misunderstood by people of today. It is a being with supernatural powers. Not something imaginary.

So if gods are just beings with supernatural powers, does that make wizards gods?

A deity is a recognized preternatural or supernatural immortal being, who may be thought of as holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by believers, often religiously referred to as a god.
Supernatural powers aren't the only requirement ili.

Deities don't have to be immortal. And that holy, divine and sacred, it just means that they have to be worshipped. A god is a certain type of being which created humanity. (not a joke, that's what the ancients said)They also posses special craft to fly with.(not a joke, that's what the ancients said) 🐰

Very funny indeed. Then how about Polytheism? Not all gods in the religion should be responsible to the creation of the human race. However, they are all treated to be respected, worshiped, and are regarded to be sacred and great. If according to your logic, does that mean that some of these gods are 'not gods'? LOL.

Incorrect. I should know, I am a Zoroastrian and Zarathustra is the first person known to have worshipped only one god. He came before Abram. Abram was a monolatrist, not a monotheist, meaning he worshipped one god among many, not one god that he believed was the only god that existed. That only started later. And Zarathustra was the first monotheist, or at least the first documented that can be verified as the first.


Hinduism is semi-monotheist, because most of them believe that all their gods are aspects of one god.



Also, deities don't have to be immortal, but they don't necessarily possess flying machines and to say
that's what the ancients said
is incredibly generalistic. And they don't have to have created humanity, most religions are polytheistic and not all their gods have created humanity.

Wait I said it wrong. I didn't mean all gods created humanity, just that it always is a god who created humanity.

Also, deities don't have to be immortal, but they don't necessarily possess flying machines and to say
Does that mean that they can't have it? Look here, it's a picture of a Zoroastrian god Religion Thread - Page 2 Zoroastrian

He looks to be in some sort of... "flying machine" to be honest... :s
