Personal Narrative: God Is Panentheism

320 Words2 Pages
I am not an atheist. I am a Christian. In order to be a Christian you must have faith. I based my belief on the King James Bible. I do not believe that God is panentheism. God is not in everything and everybody. God came to earth in a form of a man named Jesus. He lived on this earth, died and went to heaven. I do not believe in Deism, God created the world and cares for us. Jesus promised us he would not leave us alone. John 16:7 says Jesus would send a comforter, the Holy Spirit. I believe that God is immanent (Solomon & Higgins, 2014, p. 75). The Holy Spirit comes and lives inside the born again person. I believe in one God, monotheism (Solomon & Higgins, 2014, p. 70). There are not several Gods, polytheism. I believe in the Trinity,

As Christians, it is easy to assume that all who proclaim the same faith as us shares the same beliefs and thus the same doctrine. However, after reading the Nicene Creed, the National Association of Evangelicals’ doctrine, and the doctrine of my own church, The Rock Community Church, I learned that this is simply not the case. The three doctrines share several similarities, especially when discussing the deity of Christ and his life, but there were several discrepancies that could ultimately determine how you live out your faith.

Maybe we, here on our desolate planet, are the consequence of some Teleological argument, would not a similar argument maintain the presence of our God.

Furthermore, if that is the situation, who plans gods? Would this not then require some interminable circle of celestial originators.

What could the theist say to the ordinary sceptic? Suppose such a typical mind lacked both the gift of faith and the intelligence to prove God's existence; could there be a third ladder out of unbelief into salvation? Pascal’s wager is the lowest ladder, appealing to selfish instincts instead of high moral ones but it works because it gives no middle ground. Pascal theorises that agnosticism is impossible.

Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

In all these religions, God is the supreme-being whose power is never questionable (Fisher 247). However, there are different views on the monotheistic God from each of these religions. For example, Zoroastrianism views God as the source of good and not evil at any single instance. On the contrary, Judaists and Christians see God as the source of both evil and good. Moreover, the recognition of God as monotheistic was founded on the revelation key prophets received in each faith.

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.” I said as i dutifully made the sign of the cross and picked up my book of hymns. As the organist began playing, I stared at the large golden cross that hung above the altar, its metallic sheen contrasting with the deep green marble. I was baptized as a Catholic, attended a Catholic elementary school and high school, and attended church every Sunday with my family. I made my first reconciliation and received a small silver cross necklace with a tiny peridot in the center.

The scripture tells us that God is God from all eternity. Before anything, He was there Richard of Saint Victor reminds us, “Everything which is or can be either has being from eternity or begins to be in time, and again, everything which is or can be either has being from itself or it has being from something other than itself... it has been established that what holds the highest place in this universe of things cannot receive what it itself is from its inferior. Therefore some substance must exist which both holds the highest place and is from
