Things and animals exist because God caused them to exist. This includes energy. God holds all things together. Without God, nothing that has been created would have or could have been created. Some of them, perhaps you, will be given a new heart, a new spirit, a new eternal life. I pray this happens for you….
I have to concur with the two posters above. Your definition of pantheism is not accurate shows a strong degree of bias towards your own belief.
Pantheism does not — as you claim — exaggerate the likeness of man and god. Pantheism denies two principal tenets of theism: it denies that the divine, the sacred, the numinous is in any sense a person, with intentions, goals, preferences, emotions, or desires; and it denies that the divine, the sacred, the numinous is in any way transcendent or ontologically distinct from the universe. On the other hand, pantheism affirms a principal tenet of theism: it affirms that there is such a thing as the divine, the sacred, the numinous.
Traditional pantheists have been perfectly willing to talk about God, but not in any way that implies that God is either personal or transcendent. Now, a theist would say that pantheism, in its denial of divine personhood and transcendence, looks a lot like atheism, and therefore should not be using the word God at all, even as stipulatively redefined. Contemporary pantheists have not had much of a problem with that.
Indeed, the word God looks an awful lot like a proper name; the proposed alternative terms — such as the divine, the sacred, the numinous — are more easily read as pointing to an experience rather than a thing.
This is what pantheism is about. Actually, that is one definition of pantheism. If you have not experienced God, then you cant say you are actually experiencing the wonder of real life in the real universe.
You are at best only experiencing part of life. Without God, you are unable to understand God, and unable to live in a way which pleases He who created you. Thank you for your reply. Pantheism is a recognition of the divine and sacred nature of the Universe, not a belief in an actual god as such. You are at best only experiencing part of life.!
With respect, that is not for you to say. This view that you have expressed shows a bias against those who do not share your faith. I have encountered this view I call it arrogance from many Christians. Pantheism provides all the meaning and relevance I require. Actually, it depends on the pantheist who is speaking about the concept of God.
Some do not believe there is any being, per se. While others believe that everything makes up a universal consciousness. To ignore that huge segment of pantheism is not nice. It IS for me to say that if you do not know God, then you can not be experiencing the wonder of real life in the real universe. Without a relationship with God, you are at best blindly going through life unaware of the true wonders of what God has created and accomplished in the universe.
Anyone who does not have a bias against what they know to be wrong does not really believe what they claim to know. I am biased against anyone who claims that life came from non-life, because I know the truth. I am biased against anyone who claims that humans are cats. Something either is, or is not.
Something either is true or is not true. This does not make it wrong to be biased against something that is untrue. It is not arrogance when one is right. If its raining outside and I tell you its raining outside, you can check it out, you can take me at my word, or you can simply call me arrogant.
But you calling me arrogant does not change whether I am right or not. Being right does not make me arrogant. A person born blind is incapable understanding anything which can be only experienced through sight.
Yes, they may not require sight to experience or enjoy something, but they are at best prevented from fully experiencing and enjoying life. The same is true for those who do not have a relationship with God. That lack does not change the fact that God exists. Nor does it change the fact that God will judge those who exchange the created for the creator, those who deny Him. That which is known about God has been made evident within even those who deny God.
They will be handed over to their own desires, but ultimately will be judged and found guilty of their sin. Romans 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. You are free to walk around blindly without the benefit of a relationship with God.
This does not change whether God exists or not, and neither does it change that we all will face judgment. But how do you know not believe that it is your version of god that exists, and not, say, Thor, Odin, Wakan Tanka or Freya?
To claim a truth is not arrogance, regardless of whether it is backed up sufficiently to satisfy someone else. To be able to backup the claim that there is a god who is outside his creation and yet interact with his creation is not something I can do to your satisfaction.
I know this. I wish it were otherwise, but I am ok with that. Whether people find my reasoning and evidence sufficient for them to be convinced is not of high importance to me. I am not trying to convince. Pantheism is the belief that all is god and god is all. Or simple the universe is god and god is the universe. Who believed in animism? Are Hindus animists?
