The Let's Get Real Podcast: When You Say God, Which God Do You Believe In?
In your attempts to share the Good News of the Christ, have you ever had someone put a halt to your advance and tell you that they "believe in God?" There are many views as what that belief might be that we need to probe so that the truth can be presented. Springboarding off of Point 3 in the Twelve Points that Show Christianity is True ("A theistic God exists"), this episode addresses the various views people hold about what kind of God they believe in.
In this episode, I first define what we mean by biblical theism, and then move into addressing some of the popular "isms" that do not fall under the historical biblical of God. Those isms are: deism, finite godism, pantheism, panentheism, and even henotheistic polytheism. Many people have not given much thought to this question, and that is because the church is not teaching deeper on who God is. Think of it like this:
If you say that God created everything but is not involved or does not intervene in the world, you might be a deist.
If you say that God is everything and everything is God, you might be a pantheist.
If you say that God is in everything and everything is in God, you might be a panentheist.
If you say that God is not infinite but finite and beyond the world, you might be embracing finite godism.
If you say that you believe in Jesus Christ, but believe that man can become a god in the afterlife you hold to polytheism.
Please feel free to ask us questions about any of the views that you hear in this episode. You can send your questions to [email protected]. Please check out my website at roblundberg.org for resources on how you can equip yourself to give a reason for the hope you have to someone who has little to know intention on believing.
