Am I a Deist?

Image
                                                                Ayo.  Am I a deist? NO.  Deism is belief in the existence of a supreme creator who has  never intervened in the universe after having created it. In other words, they would say that God, after creating Earth and the laws governing her  never interfered with the operation of those laws.  That is, rejecting any supernatural intervention in human affairs.  Also, most Deists reject any revelation as a source of divine knowledge and that God never interacted with humanity. That is, God's existence is revealed through nature  only . I do believe that God is primarily revealed through Nature, but NOT nature only. I believe that God's major revelation came through Him taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. I believe that on e...

Hebrew

                                                                  Robert Lee,  Since truths draw us closer to Christ and misinformation pulls us away, I say:  Biblical Hebrew is NOT precise. 1) Besides lacking vowels, the original vowel markings and thus original pronunciations are lost to history. 2) The original full Hebrew text body is lost to history.

Then some words are hapax legomena (unique words that lack clues to interpretation).   4) Quoting the Jewish Encyclopedia (whose scholarship R...

Am I a Pantheist?

                                                                                        Ayo.  Am I a pantheist? NO.  And I was NEVER a pantheist. Pantheism is the belief that the universe envisioned as a whole is God, and that there is no God besides the combined forces, laws, and substance contained in our existing universe. I believe in an Almighty God who created the entire universe, who sits or stands above everything else, and who will personally judge us.  You will never find a pantheist among those who prefer mainstream church groups like I do. You may, however, find some pantheists among some Buddhist or Hindu groups, and many pantheists among neopagan and Unitarian Universalist groups. I am monotheist but reject common monotheism. That's because p...
