This is the same panthiest theology that I have noticed is a core belief behind most major world religions bar a few..A few sects of the Muslim Mystics hold this belief aswell.
No, it isn't pantheistic at all. Closer to panentheism -- but really, not even that. Rather, the cosmos -- and all that is in it, contains God -- although not exclusively; reflects God, but does not provide a clear image, as the
imago dei. The cosmos (as I see it) may be considered God's physical body (although God is greater than that "body"). But that's just me.
Clarification please...Are you saying the Holy spirit is our Soul? Im not big on Hebrew words.
In Genesis, God breathed (the Hebrew term is
ruach -- which means both "breath" and "spirit") into the nostrils of humanity. It was
at that point that humanity became
nephesh (a "
living being," as differentiated by the "non-living" beings around humanity -- rocks, trees, plants, birds, water, etc.). It is the presence of God's breath -- God's Spirit -- within us that differentiates us from the rest of creation, and uniquely qualifies us as
nephesh --
living beings. It is the presence of
ruachthat makes us the
imago dei -- the
image of God.
IMO there would have been no need for Muhammad or his message if Jesus had completed his message and purpose in its entirety.
That's precisely why I'm not a Muslim. Jesus represents the fullness of God's creation, so no more need for anything further.
I guess you guys probably look at me in the same light as when I look at the Ahmadi Sect of Muslims ( who believe Jesus was born again in the form of some Indian dude and they take this guy to be a prophet), There is too much garbage mixed in with the truth nowadays.
I can't speak for anyone else, but
I certainly don't look at you that way. You find truth in a certain theological and cultural context -- I find truth in a different context.
There's
always garbage mixed in with the truth. It's always been that way, because we are human beings, and we're not allowed to see God face-to-face. We only see God's "backside."
I still believe that the Jews created what we know of Christianity today
Nah. That much can be archaeologically shown.
What exactly happened after Jesus' so called crucifixion?
Why does it particularly matter?
An apostle converted from Pharisaical Judaism.
Why and on whose command did he make up these concepts of Holy trinity, Atonement and Original Sin.
He didn't.
How come Jesus never spoke of this.
Jesus did speak of his divinity, and of reconciliation (atonement).
If he was God he would have surely known what was going to happen.
he probably had some idea.
and should have warned his people in the clearest way possible
What should he have warned them against?
instead he chose to convey these concepts of dire importance through St Paul..who he had never met during his life
What concepts are those? Why are they of "dire importance?"
