%&daism and od( what do the' +elieve he' +elieve a lot of things that are similar to o&rs(
he' +elieve in there is a od that eists( and that e is the onl' one that does eist( there is no
other( and there are not m<iple entities of od and is merel' man)s finite mind attempting to
eplain the infinite. 6t is +elieved that od is the ,reator of ever'thing( in,l&ding evil and that
satan was instead not the ,reator of evil. hat altho&gh the i+le spea*s of attri+&tes of od(

;ow however let)s see their views on %es&s( what e was( and wh' the' don)t a,,ept im.
enerall' %es&s is viewed as either a false essiah or false prophet( e is viewed this wa' d&e to
the =fa,t? that %es&s did not f&lfil the essiani, prophes'( e was s&pposed to re+&ild the third

generall' +elieves that the orah was given to man from od dire,tl'. elieves that od
is a spirit with no form( e is omnipotent( omnipresent( eternal( person and

Reform( Dates to the late 18th ,ent&r'( it was loo*ing to moderniMe %&daism( and th&s
