text: if someone believes there is a god but that jesus was only a prophet can someone name a religion for me? not islam as i think they live in the past i personally do believe in the existence of a "supreme spirit" or god if you like, but have difficulty accepting that jesus of nazareth was the "son of god". i do believe that he was a prophet and that his lifestyle was good enough to form the basis for "christianity", and for me that is a reasonable creed with which i try to base my life on. it may not suit everyone, as we are all brought up and taught differently, and as there are so many branches of christianity, i would find it impossible to categorically say that any one was better than the other. i don't know if that answered your question but it may have given you something to think about.     best wishes.
