Hanputa
Hanputa, meaning re-orientation/reconcilliation/turning-back-towards divinity, is corrected (Noachified) indigenous religion or spirituality, like for example Hermeticism, the religion of The Ancient Just. Church fathers looked down upon Hanputa because it represented non-Jewish non-Christian monotheistic competition. However, Pre-tribulation Christian Theologians have considered that 2Thess 2:3 refers to the necessity of Hanputa. Julian the Hanif and many Tsabi'un in the time of Abul Kazim followed Hanputa (though many were polytheists), hence, when Abul Kazim said "not a divinity but the divine" Abu Lahab called him a Tsabi. The Quran, therefore, makes it clear that only those Sabi'un who follow Hanputa will be saved. Maimonites uses the term Tsabi to refer only to those who did not follow Hanputa. For those who did follow Hanputa he created the term Chochmei Umot Ha Olam. The Torah equivalent of Tsabi'un who follow Hanputa are called Hatoshavim, while in Greek records they are called Sebeis or Sebomenoi. Although Mani was an apostate from Hanputa, his commentators still called him Hanif even after he left it behind, and their usage of the term was in a degoratory sense.
