I am fine. I am currently reading about Pantheism (Naturalistic and Classical), Panentheism, Cosmotheism, Animism (something I agree with in a way), Hermeticism et cetera.

Very. Einstein is a Pantheist. He sees God as a non-personal entity. In the mind of a Pantheist God is nature and we (the human race) are all a part of God.

It is. In many ways I agree with Pantheism.....especially Classical Pantheism.

Really? How does it fit with Messianic Judaeism, anyway? I imagine that there is some conflictm there... Well. I am not a classical theists, my faith is indescribable ('Messianic Judaism' (Judaism and Christianity) is the core of my faith but I try to find good through learning). I am a 'Messianic Jew' because I follow the dietary laws etc and I consider the 'Old Testament' to be as equally important as the New. I am in a way doing to show self will and my faith in God, I am not sure were it will lead but hopefully it will lead be to the truest faith and a greater understanding of the world around me. Classical Pantheism doesn't conflict with any of my other beliefs at all. I believe that God is Nature and Nature is God........in my view this does not conflict with any Judo-Christian faiths as God created nature which could be seen as a part of him. Humans are also a part of him in a way as he is our creator. Some people will disagree with me but as someone interested in Theology I have a really 'odd' faith due to all the ideas I read. Having said that I still think of God and the Bible and the Torah in the same way as most Jude-Christian theists and my faith in the Jesus' teachings is strong. However I am not really very active in any form of religion though I had a comfortable feeling when I visited my local Church on a cold night. Such a beautiful warm place. I love Churches as I love architecture. I also agree with Animism though people would no doubt call me a primitive.  |
