Although I don't p[ut a lot of stock in the whole climate change hysteria – it can HARDLY be considered “pantheism”
Good on you, and I agree with you... The hysteria surrounding climate change is not pantheism. But Pope Francis' response to it as expressed in his encyclical Laudato Si, could be considered pantheism.
Quote...VI. SACRAMENTAL SIGNS AND THE CELEBRATION OF REST
233. The universe unfolds in God, who fills it completely. Hence, there is a mystical meaning to be found in a leaf, in a mountain trail, in a dewdrop, in a poor person’s face.[159] The ideal is not only to pass from the exterior to the interior to discover the action of God in the soul, but also to discover God in all things. Saint Bonaventure teaches us that “contemplation deepens the more we feel the working of God’s grace within our hearts, and the better we learn to encounter God in creatures outside ourselves”.[160]
And although I'm nbot the big proponenet of animal rights - but I don't think St. Francis of Assissi was a "pantheirt" either.
Not sure.
1. “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” – “Praise be to you, my Lord”. In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. “Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs”.[1]
2. This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.
Anyway, it’s just another vehicle for you to push your radical Sabbatarian agenda
Radical agenda? What is radical, and legalist is the current attempts by the Vatican to legislate a climate Sunday and force the world to obey. Now that's radical. It isn't radical to defend religious liberty... What's radical is opposing it. It isn't radical to obey the 4th commandment as written. What's radical is to imagine God has changed it without any evidence but ones skewed interpretation of Colossians2.
I don’t know how long it’s going to take for you to realize that Jesus fulfilled thew Sabbath (Col. 2:16-17)
He also fulfilled the 6th commandment, Thou shalt not murder. Does that mean we may now ignore that commandment and kill folk?
but I feel sorry for you that you’re still stick in the shadows of legalism - instead of experiencing the reality that is Christ
You have, on this very forum, boldly and correctly defended the NT relevance of God's holy laws as expressed in Exodus 20. Far from the common protestant view that they are no longer binding on Christians, you have declared consistently that the Ten Commandments are still to be obeyed. Until now. The very verse that says Jesus fulfilled the law, applies to all the commandments, not just 9.
Also, your incessant appeal to Colossians 2 in claiming the Sabbath to be a shadow and thus pointing to the future, is without foundation, and is as empty of theological common sense from your lips as it has always been from those Protestants who use the same argument. Yes, there were Sabbaths that were shadows that Jesus fulfilled. They were also feast days intimately linked to the sanctuary service, which along with the priesthood, the Tabernacle and it's furniture, it's feasts and sacrifices, gave Israel a God ordained means and vehicle by which to deal with the sin problem. The Sabbath as instituted in Genesis, was sanctified, made holy, and blessed,
before there was an issue with sin... Before there was any need to heal the relationship between man and God, before the Son of God was prophesied of and foretold, and therefore before there were any shadows, types, or anything else that indicated the need of a Savior.
The weekly Sabbath, instituted on the 7th day of creation at is completion before the beginning of the second week, therefore was ever only a memorial. In Deuteronomy, the weekly Sabbath was also there declared by God to be a memorial of salvation. But never ever was the Sabbath a type or shadow.
