my religion is faith. a faith is a religion.

your pantheistic beliefs are of sincere faith and to go against what you stand for would have you feel guilt (which some pantheists deny even exists). the very principle of "sin" is that you do something that goes against your beliefs or conscience (which is based on the reason of your knowledge).

my intention is only to speak the truth as i see it clearly written in the library of books called the bible (i like to look at the original greek and hebrew, see the full context, and compare text with other texts to find parallels). i may even refer to books not in the cannon, but found in jewish literature. i might also like to read ellen g white too. historical writings are useful. old legends from other cultures sometimes parallel bible stories, but i wouldn't take them literally.

something random
the book of enoch and the books of adam and eve for example call the children of seth "watchmen", "guards" or "watchers", but people like to take that out of context so they can blame the devil for the flood and not let humans take responsibility for their actions. also remember that people lived for centuries with a better atmosphere (thus giant forms of life, including giant humans). what really happened before the flood was that people chose to have a violent spirit within them (not genetics, but spirit can effect genetics). crossing the races of seth and cain would be probably create great giants though (just like when you cross breeds of dogs which are of the same species). perhaps they made a one world government in the end or perhaps they pretended to have peace, i don't know, but the point is they rebelled against real love, the principle of life. i personally don't think god can destroys, but that he gives us all the power we want and when we use it for selfish purposes, it backfires. you could say the flood was caused by their ego-minds and cooperation with entities that fell a long time ago, way before humans were created.

i believe human souls originate from the 1st density of dust and were brought to life by the highest density of spirit. the spirit formed the first human soul from earth, vitalizing it and sustaining it. the spirit carries our character (thoughts and feelings) and memory. this can be accessed by other people, entities, or be carried down to our children through the spirit, but that doesn't imply reincarnation or past life regression (it's simply channeling the memories of others). entities can implant memories of other lives of the spirit, but it's to teach us lessons about life, not to teach we are some eternal spirits. lol when we die, the dust goes to dust and our spirit may linger (carried by other entities), but it they aren't souls.

there are "pagan" ideas that infiltrated the early christian church like sunday worship, christmas, veneration of saints, eternal soul torment, etc i mention that a post about the mark of the beast. i think this is what blinds people from seeing the truth.
