Acts 17:28
for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’
The popular way to interpret this is that God is in everything and everyone(Panenthiesm). But notice how it doesn’t say that. What was the narritive here in this scripture?
Acts 17:16
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.
They were worshipping idols, actual objects made with hands as it goes on to say :
Acts 17:22-27
Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
He is contrasting the idols they were worshipping and using the “Unknown God” they mentioned to bring them to know the God who made everything. Then comes verse 28 stating “in Him we live, move and have our being and we are His offspring” while quoting their poets.
More straight forward way to interpret would be to say because of Him we live, move and have our being because He made us. After verse 28 :
Acts 17:29-30
Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
Christianity has a Monothiestic view of God where He is distinct from creation. That doesn’t mean He is far, it means He is independant of the universe. Note that the Divine Nature is God, not us as the Panentiestic interpretation aludes to. We do not partake of God as God, we partake of Him as His creation.
