The Pantheistic Plan: Enlarge the Territory of Belief To Merge All as One

The Pantheistic Key Word: “Enlarge”

 

The word “enlarge” used in the fourth point of the PEACE plan is central to the New Age PEACE Plan and the New Spirituality – “if everyone – including Christians – would allow God to bless them by ‘enlarging’ the ‘territory’ of what they believe.”  [Warren Smith exposing New Age, 63 (italics mine)].  Millions of Christians are already familiar with this terminology from reading the first line of The Prayer of Jabez, a book by Bruce Wilkinson:

 

“Oh that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory…” 1 Chronicles 4:10. 

 

Walsch is capitalizing on Wilkinson’s emphasis on this text, and twisting scripture in an effort to make Christians believe that they must allow God to bless them by enlarging the territory of what they believe.  

 

This is just what Satan did in the second temptation of Christ – quote scripture to countenance deception. “As Jesus before used the word of God to sustain His faith, the tempter now uses it to countenance his deception.” (DA 124)

 

‘Walsch’s ‘God’ has tempted the world particularly the church, to push past the constraining ‘boundaries’ of familiar doctrinal belief and accept the ‘huge New Truth’ of the New Spirituality – ‘We Are All One.’

 

The Pantheistic Concept of God as a Force

 

“Pantheism pictures God not as a great personal Being, but a mysterious essence –an impersonal influence pervading all nature. God is seen in nature – in trees, flowers, sunshine, air, and human beings. The power of God in nature is confused with the personality of God.”  -5 BIO 281.

 

“The Eternal Creative Force of the Universe we call God can surge within your being to give you self-belief, self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence! Without it – you’re sunk, with it – your invincible!” – Robert Schuller of the Crystal Cathedral, Discover Your Possibility 1978, quoted in Warren Smith, 73.

 

“What is the basic, driving force in life?”

-Robert Schuller, Self-Love, 1969

 

“What is the driving force in your life?”

--Rick Warren, The Purpose-Driven Life, 2002

Overlapping Vocabulary: God Referred to as a “Force”

 

“One of the main ways that the New Spirituality is sneaking into the Church is through…overlapping vocabulary, where Christians unknowingly use words that are heavy in New Age meaning. Words like ‘force.’…I had learned while in the New Age that the ‘God’ of the New Age is often referred to as a ‘Force.”’ –Warren Smith, 74,75.

 

“Later, Walsch initiated a discussion with his ‘God’ about ‘oneness,’ ‘self-esteem,’ and ‘Robert Schuller,’ by referring to God as the ‘Force’ in a unified ‘force field.’ 

 

“’Such as the idea that there is, in fact, only one force field. That there is only one energy. That this is the energy of Life itself, and that it is this energy that some people call God. [Walsch, New Revelations, 279]” –quoted in Warren Smith, 64. (Emphasis mine)

 

Of course, this is pantheism and a complete denial of the Great controversy. It also reveals where the education of the entertainment world has led with the commonly used phrase, “May the Force be with you.”

 

Daniel Prophesied That the Papacy Would Honor ‘Forces” In the Place of the God of Heaven

 

This is all pantheism. The Scripture warned in Daniel 11 that the papacy would honor “the God of forces.” “As for Almighty God, in His seat, or place, he shall honor, yea, he shall honor the God of forces.” Daniel 11:38. (Hebrew). The word-translated forces occur in verse 38, and 39.

 

In Hebrew, literally, “And as for God, the great God, forces in His place he shall honor…And he shall make fortresses of forces [same word] with a strange god, whom he shall honor (understand, recognize, regard, find out, perceive) and make great (multiply, increase, make abundantly) with glory, and he shall cause them to rule over many…” Daniel 11:38, 39.

 

The Pantheistic ‘Force” Which Drives the Purpose-Driven Life

 

This concept of the unified force field, referring to God as “the Force,” which is pantheism, is basic and fundamental to ‘the purpose-driven life.” The Force [the pantheistic God] drives the purpose-driven life.

 

The people in the pew and in the classrooms of the Structure are now being hammered continually with the “new spiritualities.” Everything from Jesuit Ignatian spirituality in Jesuit Spiritual Formation, to the pantheism of the Purpose-driven life, to the pantheism of Teihard de Chardin in youth ministries, such as Genesis 2k, to the Heideggerian ‘Caring Church,” to the pantheistic bibles sold at ABC’s and Structure university bookstores, such as The Message.  All these ”new spiritualities” are being promoted alongside the “old” 27 fundamental Beliefs, which themselves left the door open to the New Theology. The “old” is kept so that the members will not be alarmed at the massive invasion of pantheism.

 

The Big Drive to Break Down Exclusivity

 

Rome, the Jesuits, spiritualism, Pantheism, the New Age, Ecumenism, Billy Graham, Rick Warren, -all are seeking to hammer down the walls of exclusivity. The major effort is to break down exclusivity. Christianity is an exclusive religion. It excludes all false gods. It worships a Creator Who is separate from the distinct from, the creation. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.” “I am the First and I am the Last; and beside Me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6.

 

An Exclusive Religion

 

True Seventh-day Adventists is an exclusive religion. It excludes all false gods, all false christs, all falsehood. It rejects the worship of creation as idolatry and pantheism. The Creator-creature distinction is basic to the understanding of why God is worshipped alone, and is seen as the basis of Sabbath observance. The great apostle Paul rejects the worship of the creature in Romans chapter one. Pantheism is seen to be the omega of apostasy in true Seventh-day Adventism. 

 

Shifting Political, Economic, and Spiritual Reality Through Acceptance of Pantheism

 

“Walsch’s ‘God’ explained how the world could be changed if people recognized the ‘Oneness’ of this unified force field’ called “God.’ [This is a classic pantheistic fundamental premise, now introduced into Christianity.]

 

“’ The simple awareness that you are all One-One with God and One with each other-and the creation of behavioral codes and international agreements reflecting that awareness, would shift the political, economic, and spiritual reality on Earth in ways that the teachings of your present day exclusivist religion can never do.

 

“’This is why, if you wish to change your world as you say that you do, you are invited to now create a New Spirituality, based on New Revelations. For your old exclusivist religions and your elitist, separatist theologies no longer serve you.

 

“’Not only do your biggest most powerful organized religions teach you that you are separate from each other, they also teach you that you are not worthy of God. They teach you that you are shameful, guilty creatures; that you were born in sin and do not deserve to be the dust under God’s feet. They rob you of your self-esteem.’ Walsch 280, 281.

 

The philosopher Nietzsche likewise had the same attack on Christianity. His philosophy now rules the street in America.
