The panentheism is the belief that God is in all things and that, therefore, his presence is permanent, although it can change and is dynamic.
It is the position that God is greater than the universe, that the universe is in God, and that it permeates every part of nature, that it is part of nature, that it extends beyond nature, and that it is also different from nature. this. Pantheism should not be confused with pantheism which says that God and nature are the same and that there is no difference between one and the other. However, panentheism holds that God changes. "The panentheists think of God as a finite and changing director of the affairs of the world who works in cooperation with the world to be more perfect in nature… they believe that the world is the body of God."
The panentheism maintains that God has two "emissions": actuality and potentiality. The existence today and nature of God are changing, but their potential, which may be, does not change.
Panntheism is unscriptural because it denies the transcendent nature of God. By saying that God's changes confuse creation with God, he denies the miracles and incarnation of Christ, in addition to his sacrifice of atonement.
The Christianity is so opposed to pantheism as panentheism.
In the Bible, the origin of the world is explained from the act of a creator God. Consequently, God is necessarily distinct from and independent of the world. According to Christian theologians, both pantheism and panentheism fall into the error of identifying the idea of God and the world, two concepts that are related but are not equivalent or complementary, since God cannot be the same as the one who has created.
According to Christian doctrine, especially Catholic doctrine, there are now new forms of pantheism and panentheism. Therefore, those ideas that advocate the salvation of man following the dictates of nature reveal a disregard for God's role as creator.
The philosophical approach to panentheism is an attempt to reconcile two opposing positions: theism and pantheism.
According to theism, there is a God who creates the world and, from the perspective of pantheism, it cannot speak of a God who creates the world.
These two views are clearly opposite and, in principle, irreconcilable. However, panentheism presents an argument that allows the two visions to be harmonized: the nature of God has two dimensions in a single being, since on the one hand it is the same as the world and, at the same time, it is something transcendent to the world. world.
