Pantheism = All is God
Panentheism = God is greater than the universe.
What do you think? What do you feel the bible has outlined to you about this?
*So sorry if it's a repeat of an old topic, I am new here.
EDIT: I decided to elaborate more. I read the book "1000 Gifts" by Ann Voskamp. It is all about looking at the little blessings you have and thanking God for them, and seeing them as God loving YOU personally through them. As someone who tends to worry and be skeptical or a realist, this was good for my soul to receive this inspiration to stop looking for more and instead enjoy what's in front of me.
HOWEVER, I was googling reviews of her book and stumbled across one where someone who is experienced in theology and literature said that she appears to have confused Pantheism with Panentheism. Towards the middle of the book she REALLY gets into how all the little things around her, the positives, inspires what she calls "eucharisteo" (Joy and thanks in Greek) to a level where Christ is "making love to her" ... not in a perverted way of course. But like he's romancing her soul. And that's what made this one book reviewer think she had them confused. So, since I suffer a more elementary level understanding of the bible and what it is to have a relationship with God, I wanted some insight.
