Bible Note: Hank, thank you very much for your response. Here is one thing I believe, I believe that God did not intend for labels to be placed on people for their thoughts and that just because one feels differently from another they are no more or less worthy of faith. Am I a pantheist? No, but my eyes, mind, and heart are open to understnad that point of view. Do I believe in **parts** of cosmotheism? Absolutly! The reason why is because there is both logical and mathematical proof that God exists. Let me ask you a question; Do you think that the God you know is the "EXACT" same God as anyone else knows? If your answer is "yes" then why all the discussion? If your answer is "No" then there God is different then yours. Here is a conflict in your statement: Jeremiah 17:9: "The heart is deceitful about all things, and desperately wicked." **AND** Proverbs 3:5,6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Here is a case and point: "But to remember always that God put it together and we should never presume to try to pick it apart." Man put it together through God. God changed everything from one language to multiple for a reason. Love is in the heart and logic is in the mind. God gave us both, it was for a reason. There is a message in all of this: "Use your mind to find all of Gods glory and your heart to love him with all or YOUR glory". Sorry, just observations. |
