And so we know the love that God has for us,
and we trust that love. God is love.
Those who live in love live in God, and God lives in them
.”
1 John 4:16

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God,
Who is sending a love letter to the world.
[Mother Teresa]

Having recovered from a fit of rage at the apparent blatant paganism, I can respond slightly more rationally.
Yes the Spirit of God lives in us. This spirit is the same spirit that empowers the universe as with Jesus creation was spoken into being.
So if such a powerful being is living in us we should expect to se an effect on our character, how we live, speak and act.
1john4:19-21 is very clear we love Because of God's love so if we love God we MUST also love the unlovely people around us.

Jesus gave everything because of his love for you and me.
What are we giving to those we dislike, yet must also love?

What paganism are you referring to, if you don't mind me asking?

You have never seen the lion king or learnt what Hindus believe, or what some new agers believe.

That God is everything and in everything. Namaste= I bow/worship the God in you.

You asked about the paganism I thought, initially the post was referring to, so I have explained.

If I am unclear please tell me.
