Challenging: Raphael Lataster's pantheism

In the short article below we are challenging Raphael Lataster's pantheism. See also his personal website. Pantheism is a doctrine that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe and whatever else pantheists choose to contact, as Lataster has done. It is the view that the Universe (Nature) and God are identical. Pantheists do not believe in a personal, anthropomorphic or Creator.


Raphael Lataster's assertion:

The Bible has very little facts, which I realised when I removed the barriers from my mind and researched the origin of the world's religions. Pantheism (naturalistic) is totally in tune with science (the facts). The religious tend to believe in various gods without any evidence whatsoever. For example, there is as much evidence for Yahweh's existence as there is for Zeus. If you disagree, I suggest you embark on a project to disprove the existence of Zeus...


The Netzarim Response:

The Bible has "very little facts?" Surely you jest! You've obviously never read the Bible which contains the all important Torah (Divine Instructions in Righteousness); the writings of the prophets of which nearly 400 prophecies have already come true and are unfolding before our very eyes; the historical books, the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters), and the Book of Revelation. If you consider that "little" then you must know something the rest of us don't!

TWO of the "Old Testament" prophecies came to pass in 1948 when Yahweh used Hitler's Holocaust to make a couple of His "end times" prophecies come true. Isaiah's prophecies about Israel becoming a nation once more (and that it would happen in ONE DAY) came to pass in 1948 when the world briefly felt sorry for the Jews and returned Israel to them - which happened in ONE DAY....And Yeshua has so far fulfilled the first FOUR of the SEVEN Feasts, with just three more to go, which will happen almost simultaneously! So, if that in itself is too "little" for you, then you deserve whatever afterlife you're going to receive!

We don't have to "disprove" the existence of Zeus, nor do we have to "prove" the existence of Yahweh - the proof is everywhere you look, and in the nearly 400 Bible prophecies that have already come true. How many prohecies of Zeus's came to be? Or any other "god" for that matter?


Raphael Lataster's assertion:

Yahweh isn't even the chief Semitic god. He is one of the 70 god-sons of El, who in turn is himself not even the chief god. Read more on this in my new book, iGod.


The Netzarim Response:

"Yahweh isn't the chief Semitic god" and he is just "one of the 70 god-sons of El"? What Bible have you been reading? Yahweh is the ONLY God! He is THE CREATOR of everything, and the Bible proves it! Re-read the nearly 400 prophecies and check out what's happening in the world right now: Everything espoused in the Books of Daniel and Revelation is unfolding before our very eyes!

Please check out this website, and then think about this: Judaism and Christianity adhere to Yahweh - and they alone comprise well over two billion people, while the rest of the world's rag-tag "religions" are all just a bunch man-made philosophies! And here's something for you to think about: Mohammed "borrowed" his Qur'an scriptures from the Jewish Tanach - which is all about YAHWEH (whom he referred to with just the title of "God" (Allah in Arabic)...and then, of course, he twisted those scriptures he "borrowed" to suit his own purpose.....

In our correspondence you suggested we read your "ibook"; the thing is, when it comes to God, we don't read fiction. The end times as outlined in the Books of Daniel and Revelation are unfolding right now, and you are among those who is too blind to see that. Instead, you've chosen to kick Yahweh in the Face....

Oh well. At least now, come Judgment Day (and it will happen whether you "believe" or not!) you won't be able to say, "I didn't know!"
