egotheistic pantheism revealed...

As is usually the case the world does not not boil down to a set of "either this", "or that" dichotomy.

'...cool intellect must prevail not only against cool intellect on the other side, but against the muddy heathen mysticisms that deny intellect altogether.'

Staw man Fallacy: Assuming and misrepresenting or overstating an opponent's position so that you can easy dismantle it and refute.

Psalms 137:9 writes: How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock.Does that sound like Jesus?

Luke 20:Luke 20:9-19
9 He went on to tell the people this parable: "A man planted a vineyard, rented it to some farmers and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. 12 He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out. 13 "Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.' 14 "But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over. 'This is the heir,' they said. 'Let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others." When the people heard this, they said, "May this never be!" 17 Jesus looked directly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which is written: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone'? 18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed." 19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.

You are actually calling out egotheism not pantheism.

Again for the 3rd time a religion can be nonexclusivist and not accept every religious thought as valid. A nonexclusive religion just does not state dogmatically that it is the only path to the one true God. You are avoiding that.

Yes, I felt that you were, and still are, misrepresenting my religion.

Was Jesus in human form on earth between 1632 and 1677?

Obviously I think so. Is yours?

GOD is not a religion. Religions are just something men created. They are but Maps, not the Territory.In addition, the fact that one part of a religion might be wrong says nothing about other parts of the religion. All the Maps will have areas where they are accurate, and areas where they are not as accurate.

Not only that, but I also believe you will never know what you are talking about in this regard because I believe you will never read Spinoza.

What if the religion simply says there are many paths to the gate?

No matter what the gate turns out to be, or if the religion even attempts to explain, deify, personify or create the gate, they don't exclude THE gate from being true?

So what is this thread about? Shouldn't you know?, you started it.

This new age stuff you are talking about seems clearly egotheism that has come from a Hindu culture.

Stating fact or arguing with reason is not, by any means, necessarily egotheist or fear based in nature. However, the denial of fact, or the inability to accept a reasonable and logical argument is always motivated by ego and fear. Some claims demand serious attention because the implications are so inescapably enormous.That being said, the most offensive thing anyone could say to the fear and ego driven heart is, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me."That is the ultimate, staggering, and exclusive claim to sovereignty. It is also a completely reasonable statement. Even so, such a statement is either motivated by the purest form of ego, and/or, it intends to manipulate by the most blatant use of fear, or such a statement is the most selfless expression and profound truth that any man will ever hear. It is a claim that only God can make consistently.I believe that is why C.S. Lewis wrote the following:“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ”I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic”on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg”or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Christianity can be right while Islam is right and Judaism is right and Hinduism is right and Taoism is right.

Tell me again, if there are pantheist christians, how is either exclusive? Why not just a slightly different explanation into which the other can be incorporated?
