Wait, do you mean to tell me that men were still sinful and filled with pride and delusions of grandeur to have things their own way instead of His, after He died for them?

Not men, no; I am talking about Christians. The Christians were sinful, filled with delusions and selfish. I am talking about the Genesis of the church of God; from Peter to Paul ; from the first century ; from Christ; in less than 300 years, the church was all messed up. And its still messed up.

Pan-en-theos!

But you must consider that the Infinite is the source of all that is finite, and that all that is finite exists within the Infinite.
Nothing finite can exist independent of the infinite or exist outside of the infinite. So this presents us with a pan-entheistic cosmology,....since pan-en-theism means "all in God". This view allows for distinction between creation and God, but that creation cannot exist outside of God, while God in some sense by his omnipresence pervades all creation, while at the same time transcendends it.
God is both 'immanent' and 'transcendent'. God is both within and without dimensions.

I disagree with that, God is not omnipresent, why should he be? Why does God need to be everywhere? For what? The bible reveals that God has " Eyes everywhere", and eyes means angels in those verses. God has representation everywhere, but he himself is in one place at a time. He is an individual, but he is complex; he can extend his Spirits, and he has at least seven of those; so God has extension, yes, but I disagree that he exist everywhere at the same time; he has no need to do that. God is not some giant ameba that covers everything; he is just aware of everything.
God does not need to be within and without of everything; that " Sounds " mystic, but God holds no need to be mystic.

We are moving into times where religion is being judged very harshly, and I can understand that judgment. The world has grown tired of giving religion a pass and now they are examining it with a finer tooth comb. They are looking at everything and everybody in the religion. The truth is going to come out. Many pastors are going to get caught in their true behavior. Jer. 12:10, " Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard!"

Look at just a bit of how American Christians are viewed by Americans who observe them;

Just to see a view other than your own rosey view. Read what people are saying; the prophesy about you does not always have to be good.

- 'christian', the term and theology associated with it, in its many denominations.... is a later innovation.

One of the most seductive mindsets on earth, is to think you are anointed by God. Once a person believes they are chosen by God, their pride becomes so large, they are in a world unto themselves. They become " Kings before the time." Their consciousness is now seared, it becomes like a wall, and nothing can get through. They think God speaks through them and to them.
