MEET IT - PANENTHEISM THE OMEGA OF HERESIES
Both eastern meditation and contemplative Christianity rely on Satan's seductive lie of the existence of an inner-immortal-divine-entity to be discovered and to yoke-up with the Presence
of God. EGW identified the strength in the Wine Of Babylon as the "immortal soul". Hence the Three Angels Message cuts at the very root of the contemplative emphasis and practices of the east and the western Emerging Church whose rapid growth confirms the
prophetic authenticity and relevance of the Three Angels Message as Satan uses panentheism to gather also the kings of the earth and the whole world in a false unity against God's remnant people.

| Satan’s Lie Of The Existence Of An Inner-Immortal-Divine-Entity/Soul Seduces Humanity! The
potency of Satan’s seduction of humanity started in Eden with his lie that God had withheld from them (Adam and Eve) something better to be greatly desired,…. the divine immortal soul. He has since developed this mysterious entity to such
an extent that it is now in every culture and religion throughout the world: • Nimrod
(Tower of Babel) was deified upon his death; • Hindus,
Buddhists, Taoists and now Christians meditate to discover their inner-divine and God’s Presence( Holy Spirit) within; • Greek
philosophers exalt the divine purity of the spirit above all things. • Passive
meditative practices like Yoga, Zen are designed to discover one’s inner divine • Active
meditation of Tai Chi and Qi Gong taps into the “supreme ultimate” essence without and within • Catholicism
incorporates the dead into their worship as if their spirit is divine and alive. • Protestantism
fast-tracks the personal immortal soul to heaven without awaiting the resurrection • Inner-divinity
is the very basis of New Age beliefs • Meditative
mindfulness is in therapy, in wellness/transformation movements, in secular organizations and in schools as stress management. • In
Christianity, the powerful “Emerging Church” has as their divine mandate led by Pope Francis to unite all religion as one on the basis that the same Spirit is in all religion. • Atheists meditate to discover and to be transformed to their “true
self” | Satan
has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world. The foundation of his work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden: 1] “Ye
shall not surely die.” “In the day ye eat thereof, then your 2] eyes shall be opened, and 3] ye shall be as gods, 4] knowing good and evil.” Genesis
3:4, 5. Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of
his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: “I saw three unclean spirits like frogs; ... they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:13, 14.

| Dr Kellogg’s Tried To Further Advance The Alpha Heresy Away From The Inner-Divine-Immortal Soul To The Lie That
The Holy Spirit Is Within Everyone! As SDAs we may feel immune to any deception by way of the immortal soul as we know all about the “state of the dead”. But it must not escape our attention that Dr Kellogg’s later
heresy did not try to seduce with the immortal soul within. He attempted to beguile SDAism with the presumption of the Holy
Spirit within all humanity. He taught that the Holy Spirit “ filled all space and every living thing”. AG
Daniels reported in 1903 - “ He ( Kellogg ) told me ( Daniels) that he now believed in God the Father, God
the Son and God the Holy Ghost; and his view was that it was God the Holy Ghost and not God the Father that filled all space, and every living thing. He said that if he had
believed this before writing the book, he could have expressed his views without giving the wrong impression the book now gives. I
placed before him the objections I found in the teaching, and tried to show him that the teaching was so utterly contrary to the gospel that I did not see how it can be revised by changing a few expressions. “ Letter- AG Daniels to WC White 29t
Oct 1903. Kellogg’s later version of the lie of the immortal soul is expressed as the existence of “ divinity within every soul” which he attributed as the “Holy Spirit within every person”. |
“Spiritualism teaches ‘that man is the creature of progression; that it is his destiny from
his birth to progress, even to eternity, toward the Godhead,’ And again: ‘Each mind will judge itself and not another.’ ‘The judgment will be right, because it is the judgment of self. . . . The
throne is within you.’ Said a Spiritualistic teacher, as the ‘spiritual consciousness’ awoke within him, ‘My fellow-men, all were unfallen demigods.’
And another declares, ‘Any just and perfect being is Christ.’ (Great Controversy, 1888 ed., p. 554) |
| Kellogg’s Pantheistic Alpha Heresy When Developed To It’s Logical Conclusion As The Omega Heresy Will Have Panentheistic Characteristics,
Identical To Satan’s Deceptive Masterpiece That Deludes The Whole Of Christianity. EGW stated that “these theories” and she was referring to pantheism at that point, when followed to their logical conclusion will sweep away the whole of Christianity. We should ask
ourselves the solemn question - “what is the logical conclusion of pantheism ?” Earlier
in1903, 9 months before Dr Kellogg met AG Daniels, Dr EJ Waggoner wrote to W.W Prescott asserting that whilst pantheism is false, the truth however is that “God is in everything”
which, by definition is panentheism. Here is Waggoner’s letter ( brackets are mine ) - “ There is a difference as great as the distance between heaven and earth, and the east and the west, between the truth that God
is in everything [ panentheism ] , and the lie that everything is God [ pantheism]. Indeed there is no alternative between the truth that God
is in everything [ panentheism ] , and pantheism. The truth God is "above all, and through all, and in
all" [ panentheism] is the sure safeguard against the error that everything is God [ pantheism]. (E. J. Waggoner letter to W. W. Prescott, January 14, 1903). Pantheism states that all things are God wherein God is not a Person but spiritualized as essence, energy, gravity which pervades all things including all human beings. However, in Kellogg’s
account above, since he referred to God as “ the Holy Ghost that filled all space and every living thing”, Kellogg is shifting from his initial
pantheistic view to a panentheistic one. Although panentheism introduces God as a Person “ above all, and through all, and in all”, yet panentheism
still asserts that God penetrates and saturates the world so thoroughly and completely that ultimately “all things are God” as in pantheism. Hence the deadly spiritual
danger of pantheism is reintroduced and integrated as a subset within panentheism. Waggoner’s letter to Prescott
asserted the same panentheistic teaching as Kellogg did when speaking to AG Daniels 9 months later. Pantheism without
the Person of God does not have the power to deceive Christians or SDAs. But, with the conceptual introduction of God as the Person, whose Spirit (or Essence) fills all space and all living things as in pantheism, the deception becomes fully developed as Satan’s
masterpiece for deceiving Christians. | If God is an essence pervading all nature, then
He dwells in all men; and in order to attain holiness, man has only to develop the power that is within him. {CCh 322.8} These theories, followed to their logical conclusion, sweep away the whole Christian economy. They
do away with the necessity for the atonement and make man his own savior…… {CCh 323.1 |
| The
Panentheism of Leonard Sweet( 1991) Bears Striking Resemblance to Kellogg’s and Waggoner’s 1903 Panentheism. In 1991, Leonard Sweet asserted in his book Quantum Spirituality that to qualify as real Christians, one must
be “panentheistic” - “Quantum spirituality bonds us to all creation as well as to other members
of the human family… This entails a radical doctrine of embodiment of God in the very substance of creation …. But a spirituality that is not in some way entheistic ( whether pan- or trans-), that does not extend to the spirit-matter of the cosmos, is not Christian.” Leonard Sweet is one of
the chief source of inspiration of The One Project within SDAism. SDAs are not as immune to the immortal soul when it is perceived as the
“inner-divinity” of the “Holy Spirit” within. Whilst the Holy Spirit is with the truly converted, the nominal Christian/SDA who presumes the presence of the Holy Spirit within will be seduced into believing that the Emerging
Church with its emphasis on ways to discover, feel, experience and intimately encounter GOD’S PRESENCE within is authentic. For more quotes to substantiate Kellogg and Waggoner's panentheistic teachings, go to Dr
Waggoner And Dr Kellogg Panentheistic Quotes | The wine of Babylon is the exalting of the false and (1) spurious sabbath above the Sabbath which the Lord
Jehovah hath blessed and sanctified for the use of man, and ( 2) the pagan teaching of the immortality of the soul. These and kindred heresies, and the rejection of the truth, convert
the church into Babylon. Kings, merchants, rulers, and religious teachers are all in corrupt harmony. |
