BEING US: A Panentheist Affirmation
By Lewis M. Randa<br />We can assume God is much more than what is taking place in the cosmos — but it is enough to know that where God exists on Earth is as personal as each beat of our heart, for we are the outward and visible embodiment of Godhood. We are the physical form, imbued with a concept of self that at once denies we are God, while existing for the

Makes sense. Someone recently told me that God has already reconciled all men to Himself, and we just have to accept it. So, basically she&#39;s saying that Christ came to reconcile us to God, so that&#39;s done. I guess those that accept it go to heaven, and those who don&#39;t, go to hell. So, ultimately it is not God who does it, it is us who send ourselves to heaven or hell. I&#39;m still not

Momma Bear, <br /><br />That&#39;s a great question. Will G-d save those who murder, too? Well, there are a couple of ways to look at that question. I think we&#39;d agree that all sin (and fall short of the glory of G-d). So, we must agree that G-d can forgive those sins somehow, if we&#39;re talking about a matter of us earning our salvation. To what degree can G-d forgive sin? Can he

I enjoyes this. Im always feeling like im not doing well enough for god. But will he save those who murder too? This is where I run into problems with this thinking. Please enlighten me.

Thank God for showing you the truth of his Love for all mankind, and destroying the myths that are so damaging in so many ways to humanity. Glad I found your blog, keep sharing and feeding his sheep. GBU!

Good to get to know you, Brian. Our God is the beautiful Father of reconcilation, and ALL are His children. We are safe within Him. It&#39;s been a glorious journey to get to know the Father better, and my husband David and I are embracing God&#39;s judgements each day as He burns up the sinful nature within us. Come visit us sometime -- we&#39;re in Australia!

Hey Jeremy,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment. I&#39;m sorry to hear about your panic attacks. I know how awful those are. I&#39;m glad to hear you&#39;ve discovered Christian Universalism. It makes a lot of sense to me.<br /><br />Peace,<br />Brian

Brian,<br /><br />Thanks for your life story. I have had to deal with panic attacks my whole life (I&#39;m 58) and have only recently become a &quot;hopeful&quot; Christian Universalist. I haven&#39;t found many of my Christian brethren who are like minded so it&#39;s great to meet you - even if over the internet.<br /><br />Keep spreading the &quot;Good News&quot;!<br /><br />Blessings from

Thank you for sharing your journey. I left my fundamentalism behind a long time ago as well. I also experienced a time of limbo when I had rejected the god I grew up with but had not yet grown to know the God I love now.

Great post, Brian. Glad I finally got to read it. I&#39;m also happy that you are on a much more serene spiritual path.

Whew! Thanks so much for writing this blog. I stumbled on it last night and have been laughing in relief to know that there is someone out there,somewhere, who has had a similar truth-seeking journey and has come to most of the same conclusions. Here is a link to the introduction of my blog where I have tried to scrape together anything I could find on mysticism and spirituality: http://
