Tell me you don't understand panentheism without telling me you don't understand panentheism

[jaymichael]

I don't do ism's. I just do God. All other stuff is too complicated. Love is much simpler. God is Love.

[jeffstark]

God never changes he's the same today yesterday and forever it says it in the Bible.

[james]

Never heard of it called bipolar theism but nice try. Contradictory? How most mystics have been panentheistic. How can god be seperate from his creation and be omnipresent? That makes no sense

[bishop]

Try not to think of G-d as being just everywhere. It's actually the opposite " everywhere, the entirety of creation itself is in God's presence". Psam 24: 1-2 kjv

[shezjaba]

In the end times many will listen to evil spirits and depart from the faith

[james]

This is one of the oldest theological positions coming from hindu philosphy of brahman

[befree]

You don’t have a proper understanding of panentheism..

[oscarherrera]

WHEN GOD THINKS HE IS JUST HIMSELF ***TROUBLE*** WHEN IF GOD THINKS EVERYTHING GOD ***SOLUCION*** SO EVERYONE IS EQUAL!!!

[UniversalistSon]

It’s not that different really, it’s just that many Christian’s nowadays believe in panentheism and don’t wanna be caught as pantheist so they claim it’s sooo different when in reality it’s really not, they’re just two sides of the same pantheistic coin really. Either God is everything, period or God is a PART of everything but possibly out there too-they both share a “God is everything” within each term to different extents.

[BayRG]

Panentheism in a nutshell: all is in God, God is in all (in other words “God” is both transcendent and immanent). If it’s hard to wrap our brains around that’s good, because the source of all being is most likely beyond the comprehension of our limited human brains.

"He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)" - Ephesians 4:10

"for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’" - Acts 17:28.

Would it be proper to say that God isn't the stuff in the universe, but He sustains and "fills" everything in the Universe? Inspiringphilosophy promotes a "weak" panentheism. I think it makes sense, but I'm not sure.

[mattr.]

She didn't even get the definition right. Come on Melissa. I know even you can do better.

[melaniebarbaro]

The Gaia hypothesis believing God is in everything . That's why people hug trees and pray to nature for its sustenance. It's called Pantheism.

[Hydroverse]

Well, I reject something out of nothing, and accept wherever that leads.

[Joseph_thefather]

That’s not what panentheism means. If you carefully read the bible you will see that panentheism doesn’t contradict it. Rather, panentheism is a logical conclusion of all the things mentioned in the bible. To the point of change, no, panentheism doesn’t say creation is changing and therefore god is changing or at least it doesn’t have to be. God is the highest being and exists beyond time and space. Also the way we humans perceive time is flawed to begin with. We generally perceive time as being linear, but that’s only our own perception. Again, god exists beyond time. He knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. More over, the bible suggest that for god those thing basically happened at the same time. Meaning, he doesn’t just know what will happen, but that for him it already has happened. For god, Christ for example has returned and has not at the same time. He wasn’t yet crossed but at the same time he was. He wasn’t reborn and at the same time he was. Again, because time is above god. „God is the alpha and the omega“So if all things basically already happened, then they did not change, god did not change. God and creation were always like this and always will be. He simply exists and so does creation. For us as humans it might look like it is changing, but from the outside, it is not.

This sounds like the idea of Mother Nature or Eywa in Avatar.

[TheContrarian]

It makes as much sense as the Trinity 👍🏻

[deniss]

Spot on, Melissa.
It's trying to fuse pantheism with theism - can't be done!

[pojdrr]

Why not just preaching the Gospel on this chanel
