Hell, the Lake of Fire. As well as yourself. We all need to be saved from ourselves outside of Christ.
It's the other way.
Where God's life energy is universal and natural.
Pagan and Pantheistic beliefs are what other people attach to Nature and Natural forces.
God as the Source of all remains independent of the expressions that man attaches on the receiving side.
Agnes Sanford was purely Christian but one of the least concerned with how people talked about the same concepts as long as they received the message and understanding. God handles the rest.
Why is Hell a lake? Where does the lake go? Into the sea of fire?
You could call it a sea or a lake. It makes no difference. That is how God created it.

Personally, I think it’s great you’ve managed to separate yourself from the heard think. There may even be a chance you’ll find what your looking for?

Reciting Bible passages to discourage my current thinking will accomplish nothing, as it was years of personal Biblical studies that impacted my thoughts for today.
The best summary of the Bible I ever heard came from a Buddhist monk:
He said the OT is living by the letter of the law. The NT is living by the spirit.
@Looking4Me you sound like my Atheist/Buddhist friends who find truth better by NOT looking for it.
Even Buddha only found truth when he gave up. Sat still until the truth came to him.
You seem to contemplate very deeply on the nature of beliefs, what purpose do they serve etc. This sounds like Buddhist meditation on what is the right view, right intent, right understanding?
I have friends who used Buddhist principles to follow what their brains were meditating on.
If you are suffering stress instead of peace, what conditions fears or expectations are you attached to?
Agree to let those detach, and study what your thoughts look like without them.
Letting go of Christian attachments is one step.
Look up the 17 steps of forgiveness and 5 stages of grief and recovery.
Are you grieving over things you feel you have lost or cannot have or find?
As soon as you forgive what makes you feel you are at a loss, not doing things right, or not asking the right questions, then better ideas will come to you.
Do you have past relations or conditions attached to changing how you do things?
Look into all these areas. Anything that triggers an emotional response, any fear stress or anxiety means to explore and look deeper where that is coming from.
You are attempting to debug your programming. Either let go of what you find embedded, or make use of it if it is part of you your path and process.
Go through your whole toolbox and decide what you want to keep and use. And what you don't want junking up your workroom!
Take care and please forgive whatever makes you feel bad so you can enjoy your process of discovery and your journey.
Looking4Me ~
In a short span you reveal much about yourself.
Seemingly looking for your daughter, but call yourself Looking4Me.
Skilled at circle talk, which can be fun, aside from a serious topic...
Seemingly had some experience of reading Scripture.
Seemingly abandoned Scripture.
Used your your Carnal Mind to evaluate Gods Spiritual Word.
Carnally decided nothing is absolute.
Seemingly teedering with the thought IF God would accept you.
Do you seriously desire to know the WAY to have a lasting relationship with the Lord God Almighty?
Glory to God,
Taken

Emily.
You wouldn't have had a history with New Age spirituality, would you? Tarot in particular? I feel like you are giving me a psychic reading.
Crossing over with Emily.
I am empathetic by nature.
I also went through a deep spiritual experience and had to start all over, twice.
Another friend of mine also redid his whole approach and he might think and talk about his process closer to your way.
Lots of experience dealing with spiritual changes and karma.
My mother is Buddhist. My political friends are either Conservative Christian or far left Trump haters. I have universalist and pagan friends who do their own thing, we can be all over the map without a map. So I have learned to connect with people from whatever world they live in and just play there.
Whatever language you have or need for your process, I probably have friends who talk that way about their experiences.
I advise against mixing any spiritism or occult with Christian prayer. Natural laws of universal spirituality are neutral and compatible. Anything that attracts dark energy can cause surges, disruptions, mental attacks of anxiety depression and other negative issues that make you feel ill and stressed out, paranoid or hated instead of loved. Chaos and chronic bad drama instead of a positive adventure and peace in the midst of natural struggle and growth.
If you heard my whole story you might laugh at the horrors I went through that might make you feel better and relieved.
I believe when you really grasp both the good and the bad and why things happen and change, you will be glad you are you not anyone else.
If I can help you find what makes you feel truly gifted and unique in purpose, I am happy to try. At the very least compared wuth me, my family garbage and the political hell hole my community is fighting to emancipate from, you may feel glad you are not me.
If that makes you feel a bit lighter in spirit, at least for that. Some of my friends may make you laugh at how they bash everything in life like a stand up comic, or howl at NIN songs calling it Goth music when it sounds like a dying animal.
Whatever it takes, I hope you find what you are looking for. If me or my friends can help you, that would be cool to start a group for lost souls or black sheep. Always the most interesting characters are the rejects in the back of the bus or sitting in timeout....

Well, Be that as it may, I was Spirit lead to present that particular verse for your consideration and meditation.
If I may, your posts seem nihilistic. You've asked question and have been given specific answers. It's time to separate mere belief from those with faith - that is, those who act on what they claim to believe.
I put my trust in God, not out of knowledge but out of faith and obedience. Try an experiment. Obey for 30 days, reading his Word diligently. It changed my life.
