    Lessons In Apologetics #6: Pantheism

    Contributed by Frederick Meekins on Mar 3, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,065 views

    As a worldview, Pantheism has plagued the religious thought of both the East and West from ancient times on up through our contemporary day.

    If Deism is the belief that God is so transcendent from the cosmos He created that He no longer participates directly in it, Pantheism must be the worldview at the other end of the continuum believing that a higher power exists as Pantheism holds that God is so immanent with the universe that God ...read more

    First of a series based on the Johannine letters: our response to overwhelming need is first of all a discovery of who we are; then a commitment to maximum effort; and finally a discovery of where our passion lies. This will energize us.

    I invite you today on an imaginary trip. Let’s walk through just one day in a needy world. Just imagine a few hours in a world that asks us for more than we can possibly give: You are awakened early by the phone’s insistent ringing; you hear the voice of a member of your family.

    Saying Yes To God

    based on 26 ratings
     | 38,917 views

    When God became human, God said yes to humanity. When Jesus was obedient to the point of death, Jesus said yes to God. Because God said yes to us, we can say yes to God!

    Yes, no, maybe so. Yes, no, maybe so. Each and every day we’re faced with dozens of decisions – things or people or places or events that we must say yes or no to. Yes, I’ll have chicken for dinner tonight. No, I won’t have beef. Yes, I’ll go to work this morning. No, I won’t stay even a minute ...read more

    Jesus’ divinity and humanity are unquestionable and inseparable. But did He do His miracles by nature of being God or man? What are the implications of this? In His divinity He is unequalled- but in His humanity He is a model, prototype for us.

    The devil is trying to convince humanity that neither he nor God exist. Satan wants humanity to believe that man was not created by God according to His image, but rather that man is a deliberate creation by a race of scientifically advanced extraterrestr

    The full wonder of God's glorious wisdom & power are utterly beyond human understanding. It staggers even the most mature Christian mind, including the mind of the apostle himself. God's wisdom is as inscrutable as it is unfathomable to mere humans. Here

    The Great Mystery: the Church is the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:25-32) Human sexuality with all its extraordinary complexity, romantic mystery, and reproductive miracles is totally unexplainable by any of the theories of evolution.
