There are famous "Christian" preachers who adhere to the twisted doctrine that all babies are born "totally depraved".
They major on "Original Sin" while ignoring "Original, Image-Bearing Beauty"! God help us all if we fail to see His beauty, goodness, and Love functioning through every Atheist mother nursing her newborn, every Muslim brother providing for his family, every Jewish father tossing a ball with his son, every Hindu daughter caring for her elderly mother, every Buddhist mom preparing a meal for her family, every dog snuggling with his/her human, every living creature, and nature itself. That's not Pantheism. That's Panentheism. The former is the belief that everything is God. The latter is the belief that God is in all things, but also transcends them. He either "upholds all things by the Word of His Power" (Heb. 1:3), and "by Him all things consist" (Col. 1:17) or He doesn't, and they don't. I said what I said. Peace & Love! -Joe
