Pantheism

Bible Questions Answered:

“...witnessed to him, and he said he did believe in God, and that God was everywhere around him. Well I thought that was good, so I tried to reach out to him again, but turned out what he believed was that everything was God. A tree, the river, the sky, anything and everything. I told him, God says to repent, turn from sin, and turn to him, but he said God doesn't say that...?”

Pantheism:

Pantheism is the belief that all of reality is identical with divinity, or that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent god.

Pantheists thus do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god.

God's Character:

Omniscient (All Knowing):

Psalm 139:1-18 KJV

1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

Psalm 147:4,5 KJV

4 He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.

Isaiah 55:8,9 KJV

8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith The Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 11:33-35 NLT

33 Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways!

34 For who can know The Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice?

35 And who has given Him so much that He needs to pay it back?

Omnipotent (All Powerful):

Omnipresence (Everywhere Present):

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that The Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Proverbs 15:3 KJV

The eyes of The Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Jeremiah 23:24 KJV

Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith The Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith The Lord.

The false belief of Pantheism, takes away the personality of God, and why would anyone want to do that? They would want to do that, so that they would not have to repent to The Living God, and change their ways, living for Him.

Mark 1:14,15 NLT

14 Later on...Jesus went into Galilee, where He preached God’s Good News.

15 “The time promised by God has come at last!” He announced. “The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!”
