  1. Sunday Word of the Week: Immanence

    Previously, the word was Transcendence. God is apart from His creation, different from it. This week the word is Immanent or Immanence,

    God’s immanence refers to His presence within His creation. (It is not to be confused with imminence, which refers to the timing of Jesus’ return to earth.) A belief in God’s immanence holds that God is present in all of creation, while remaining distinct from it. In other words, there is no place where God is not. His sovereign control extends everywhere simultaneously. Source GotQuestions

    Immanence: God’s presence and activity within the creation and human history. Source: Biblical Doctrine, MacArthur/Mayhue, p 931

    God is so majestic! Mysterious! How can He be both apart from His creation, and present within it?! At the same time? It shows who our God is. It’s why I chose these two words one after the other to demonstrate His essential otherness.

    One additional notion that is important to emphasize.

    Pantheism and deism twist many people’s view of how God relates to His creation. Pantheists believe that everything is God or is a part of God, making Him equal with His creation and unable to act upon it. Deists hold that God is distinct from His creation but deny that He plays an active role in it. Contrary to these and other false views of God, the Bible says that God is both different from His creation and actively upholding it.

    We must not stress His immanence at the expense of His transcendence, and vice versa.

    That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, (Acts 17:27).

    Note: Modern pantheism is seen in William P. Young’s The Shack, Oprah Winfrey’s promotion of Eckart Tolle, and in Ann Voskamp’s book One Thousand Gifts as an offshoot of pantheism, panentheism. It is easy to twist both immanence and transcendence, either by direct twisting or omitting one in favor of the other. It is why it is important to learn these terms so we retain a balanced view of God.

  7. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art. Hence this reality: the poet is a priest.
     
    [Dieu se manifeste à nous au premier degré à travers la vie de l’univers, et au deuxième degré à travers la pensée de l’homme.
       La deuxième manifestation n’est pas moins sacrée que la première. La première s’appelle la Nature, la deuxième s’appelle l’Art. De là cette réalité : le poëte est prêtre.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    William Shakespeare, Part 1, Book 2 “Men of Genius [Les Génies], ch. 1 (1.2.1) (1864) [tr. Anderson (1886)]

  32. Imminence vs Immanence

    Did I know this? I'm not sure I did

    Writing a tricky passage in the wip* I use the word imminence. Checking the spelling, I find an alternative spelling: immanence. What, I wonder, is the difference? Oh! Really?

  34. Anyone else think it’s, at minimum, unhelpful to speak of #transcendence *within* #immanence? Sure there are bad takes of immanence but I think transcendence always smuggles in the seed of ideology or abusive authority.
    I think immanence still has language for revelation, transformation, mystery, etc. but transcendence will tend towards ideological gatekeepers.
