Exploring Autonomy, Divinity, and Evangelism

The distinction between creator and creation is crucial in responding to prevailing blanket spirituality. The belief of having the spark of divinity within oneself and being part of the divine is common both in the ancient world and today. Addressing evangelism in conversations with individuals who view themselves as divine involves emphasizing that true autonomy is burdensome and self-rule can be destructive. Autonomy, the idea of crafting and deciding one's identity, is a powerful force driving secularization and is a primary focus in evangelism and church activities. Understanding that autonomy is a dogma akin to the gospel's importance can lead to a realization that being owned by a loving God is liberating compared to being controlled by other worldly influences that promise autonomy but ultimately enslave individuals.
