Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was a perfect human being on Earth, but that He wasn't divine.

Unitarians believe that Jesus is the exemplary example of how human beings should live their lives. They believe He was an exemplary man filled with divine inspiration. They do not believe He performed miracles.

Also, Muslims believe that Jesus was a wonderful Prophet, but did not have divinity--as that would go against the strict Monotheism that Muslims and Jews believe. They believe he was born of a virgin, spoke in the cradle, performed miracles... and it appeared that he was crucified, although God substituted Judas in his place. (Looked like Jesus though.) They also believe that Jesus will come back in the end of days.

If you are a follower of may of the sects o fChristianity, this is what you would believe. However the United Church of Canada has taken a contrary position on this topic. (Link)

What is Secular?

Answer Quite basically, secularism refers to the belief that religion has no place in the day to day activities of governing bodies. eg. the view that public education and other matters of civil policy should be conducted without the introduction of a religious element. Secularism does not reject or deny religion. In fact, it makes it possible for all religions to be recognized and respected by keeping religion out of public affairs. It has been erroneously aligned with godlessness by the religious extremists whose intent has always been to erode the barrier between church and state. Many people who participate in various religions are also secularists.


What is the difference between government acknowledgement of religion and government endorsement of religion?

Acknowledgment is the acceptance that a religion is actually a religion, and that people can practice it. Endorsement is the active promotion of one religion above another, giving preference to members of that faith. As an example, the British crown endorses Christianity (and even prefers the Church of England), while it merely acknowledges Sikhism.


Does God want war?

God didn't merely "allow" the war in heaven, he engineered it into his creation, which included man, earth, the universe, the angels and the realm of heaven. It was the catalyst-prelude to the drama that would soon begin on earth.


Is animalistic act of man moral?

AnswerAnimalism is the doctrine that humans are merely animals with no spiritual nature; or the enjoyment of vigorous health and physical drives. It is totally unrelated to the ancient religious practices of animism. It need not be associated with bestiality, which is of course a totally immoral act. Animalism by and of itself need not be moral or immoral.


When did Saint Stephen live?

Saint Stephen is only known from Acts of the Apostles, which merely describes him as a deacon of the early Church, who was arrested and stoned for blasphemy. This would suggest that he died in the mid-30s of the first century. However, questions have been raised about the historicity of Stephen. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen.

Which sect believed that jesus was not divine but merely an exemplary human being?

Mormons, Muslims, Hindus.


Did Jesus believe he was God?

To a religious person, this would be a slightly improper question, since according to usual theology, Jesus knew, rather than merely believed, that he was the son of God and part of the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost). To a less religious person, it may be that we have no solid basis upon which to say what Jesus believed. In religious matters, you get to make your own decisions.


What is a divine role?

A divine role is a role assigned by God. For example, Mormons believe that it is the divine role of men and women to be fathers and mothers. It is not merely a product of our biology, it is the plan of God. Likewise it may be your divine role to do some great work in the world.

What government controlled by church leaders?

a theocracy is ruled by the church or the religious head .*Theocracy is a form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler, or in a higher sense, a form of government in which a state is governed by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided. In Common Greek, "theocracy" means a rule [kra′tos] by God [the.os′].For believers, theocracy is a form of governmentin which divine power governs an earthly human state, either in a personal incarnation or, more often, via religious institutional representatives (i.e., a church), replacing or dominating civil government. Theocratic governments enact theonomic laws.Theocracy should be distinguished from other secular forms of government that have a state religion, or are merely influenced by theological or moral concepts, andmonarchies held "By the Grace of God".A theocracy may be monist in form, where the administrative hierarchy of the government is identical with the administrative hierarchy of the religion, or it may have two 'arms,' but with the state administrative hierarchy subordinate to the religious hierarchy.This leaves up to the interpretation of the ruling class the person or persons that are deemed to be endowed by the divine power, which supposedly is possible.
