| | Henotheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While Greek and Roman religion began as polytheism, during the Classical period the religion was thoroughly henotheistic, taking the form of a monarchical polytheism. | | | For example, the Moabites worshipped the god, Chemosh, the Edomites, Qaus, both of whom were part of the greater Canaanite pantheon, headed by the chief god, El. | | | Extreme monists within the Advaita Vedanta movement, Yoga philosophy and certain non-dual Tantra schools of Hinduism preclude a broad categorization of Hinduism as henotheistic, what with the conception of Brahman, a formless non-being-being that is posited to be pure consciousness, beyond attributes, the Divine Ground from which all else that is limited and temporal sprang. |

| | According to this view, the object of worship is only God the Father, and not Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit, who are thought to be distinct gods. | | | Henotheists do not necessarily view other gods as legitimate objects of worship, even while acknowledging they exist. | | | Henotheism is not simply a belief in a supreme god amongst many, or the predominant worship of one god with secondary worship of others, since these are forms of polytheism. |

| | The development of the concept of God through the ages |
| | Hinduism is a henotheistic religion which recognizes other gods and goddesses as facets or manifestations or aspects of the one supreme God. | | | Most people, whether they follow Animism, a fertility religion, Neopaganism, or a monotheistic, polytheistic, or henotheistic religion believe that their own religion is accurate: | | | They view their own religious texts as true and inspired by God; the texts of other religions are seen as partly or wholly false; they arose from people's imagination. |

| | The Ancient Egyptian religion is very often mistaken as a poly or henotheistic faith, when in actuality it resembles a monolatry; that is, a religion where there is one divinity that has parts to it which, while having their own personality, remain a component of a whole. |

| | Perhaps a more accurate term is “henotheistic” which means there is one supreme Godhead, and that all the other deities are viewed as aspects of this one being. | | | Some say it is polytheistic (many gods) whereas others say it is monotheistic, as the universe is viewed as one divine entity called Brahman. | | | It is believed that human souls go through cycles of life, death and rebirth as we evolve spiritually. |

| | The cult is ruled by Surantyr the Non-heretic, Archbishop of the Henotheistic Church of Otkorion. | | | By 1579ST all of Fiesive was Henotheistic and, as more and more Churches and independent temples were consumed by the growing power of the Church headed by Surantyr, the Arkat title was dropped in favour of Henotheistic. | | | Those who follow pagan gods are also in the Farmer Caste, so you will often find Henotheists worshipping gods like Elmal or Babeester Gor who are officially in the Farmer Caste. |

| | The monotheism of Islam and Judaism is much more clear cut, although very early sources for both Allah and Yahweh show signs of henotheistic or polytheistic origins or forerunners, which do not at all deny their sole Deity status once the religion became established. | | | Christianity claims to be monotheistic, although some writers find this idea problematic since Christian doctrine has developed a notion of God as one essence in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), explained in the doctrine of the Trinity. | | | Neopaganism (including Wicca and Asatru), a group of religions generally considered to be polytheistic, is also difficult to classify neatly. |

| | But they believe that Jesus is also God, and the Spirit is also God, and that they are separate Gods, so that's polytheism. | | | But they believe that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three seperate beings; Heavenly Father and Jesus having seperate, tangable flesh and bone bodies, and the Holy Ghost is spirit only. | | | Good point, I should have been more clear, in that I would not say to a Mormon, "you are henotheistic" because that of course brings the persecution response. |

| | As a result of the Babylonian captivity of the Jews (597 B.C.) and their later emancipation by King Cyrus the Great of Persia (538 B.C.), Zoroastrian dualism was to influence the Jewish belief in the existence of HaShatan, the malicious Adversary of the god Yahweh, and later permit the evolution of the Christian Satan-Jehovah dichotomy. | | | In the same way that Ahkenaton, Abraham, Heliogabalus, and Mohammed later initiated henotheistic cults from the worship of their respective deities, Zarathustra created a henotheistic dualism with the gods Ahura-Mazda and Ahriman. | | | The stature of Ahura-Mazda was elevated to that of supreme god of goodness, whereas the god Ahriman became the ultimate embodiment of evil. |
