Pantheistic theology = the universe itself is the divine source

Everything 1 anon

Sure, God "splits", it's still God though

This emanationsim/pantheism leads to absurdities. It means that when an animal dies, God dies. It means that God is both good and evil, eternal and ephemeral. It means that God is divided against himself.

>>17966187
Not necessarily.
God is light and dark, destruction and creation - but the side we're supposed to emulate is the side that creates, loves, gives.
Progress through pain.
If you are both the absolute of destruction and the absolute of creation then by definition you must be infinite, if not near it and sure, the concept of infinity divides into infinite directions, but it doesn't mean the source of its absolute nature is divided against itself.
It's simply an infinite source where all tips of the stem originate from.

Nope, if God is light and dark, there is no reason why we should worship light rather than dark. Dualists like you have traditionally accepted that the worship of one is equal to the other, because they are equal principles.

God is not the world. He is beyond the world. The death and destruction of the world is just its movement away from God (sin).

I didn't say they were equal to one another anywhere in my post or that worshipping the dark is valid.
I even referenced the fact that we're meant to emulate his light side.
He's capable of treachery, but that shit don't fly.
God is everything in creation on the same page on any matter.


Hitler for example, all that he did and was capable, he didn't do alone and wouldn't have been capable of doing alone. He was righteous in his heart and he punished the wicked and by whose divine grace would this be allowed?
By a God who allows as much as you try to act on his behalf to unify. Wicked to some, righteous to others, but no name has really held more weight than his

The destruction of the world is once God has everyone on the same page and level of consciousness to allow "Nirvana" and bring it back again. It's a cycle.
Nothing is new under the sun.

>worshipping the dark is valid
That's what I read, my bad.

Light creates, darkness destroys.
What more reasoning would you want to worship light over dark?

>I didn't say they were equal to one another anywhere in my post or that worshipping the dark is valid.

If God is light and dark, then the light and dark are equal opposites in God. If they are not equal opposites, then the stronger one would immediately triumph and extinguish the lesser, so that it would no longer exist.

>>17966230
The reason for worship is divinity. If darkness, death, and destruction are as equally divine as light, life, and creation, then there is no reason why one should worship one rather than the other.

>The destruction of the world is once God has everyone on the same page and level of consciousness to allow "Nirvana" and bring it back again. It's a cycle.

If it's just an eternal cycle of creation and destruction, there is no reason to prefer creation over destruction, because both are necessary and support each other in upholding the cycle.

>Truth = pantheism false; transcendent God created the world and is source of all life; sky & earth spirits are fallen angels.

Correct?

No

>>17966201
Then would be dark in your estimation ?
You cant just discard the "bad" things to someone else that is childish and narrowminded
also god does not respond to worship

>>17966282
Death, darkness, and destruction aren't as equally divine.

They are not define in nature, they are not holy.
Before we as a whole can achieve ultimate destruction we must reach ultimate creation.

>>17966301
Divine*

Destruction, pain and death aren't righteous, excellent, or anything near what God wants you to follow to reach his heights.
