The "God is within all of us" cult (Gnostic, Hermetic) is precisely the root of Marxism and its modern day variants. Like, literally.
Reject it.

Lindsay has cracked the code. There were others before him, like Voegelin and del Noche, but he has done vital work exposing this massive intellectual grift.
Right on. 🤙🏼
Why do think it’ss the root of marxism? Not heard this one before.
Best thing I can do is point you to the Sovereign Nations playlist on YouTube called "The Theology of Marxism." But if you want to go deeper, the New Discourses podcast (he reads from original sources), or the books of James Lindsay. But even Rothbard touched on it quite a bit. As did Voegelin and del Noche.
It's quite a rabbit hole!
Interesting. I am not disagreeing with you. You are probably correct. I havent delved deep enough into it.
I just think it possible to believe “God is within all us” as in the “The Holy Spirit is within all us”. It just takes surrending to God and believing in Jesus died for our sins to eventually notice the Holy Spirit within us.
As a Christian I believe the Holy Spirit is a gift to believers, he is not given to unbelievers.
But what they mean is effectively pantheism, that God *is* us, and cannot be revealed as such, until we are all one (Communism). God is effectively scattered and trapped in many shards and *we* must free *him* by melding our individualities into one collective being. It's a religion, complete with a metaphysic, an epistemology, an ethic, and an eschatology...
Although it sounds like
An honest and nice belief its false.
You can’t notice the Holy Spirit within you since you don’t have it. You can obtain the Holy Spirit by getting to intimately know Jesus through his word literally.
Read John 1
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
You can’t claim to know Jesus or the Holy Spirit until you get to know the mind of God through his Word aka Scripture.
Please read the New Testament.
“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”
I John 1:1-3 NKJV
There's also this as a teaser:
God is within all of us... congratulations you have described the holy spirit
Scripture does not teach this...
Read John 1-3, and Ephesians 1-2.
Enemies of God do not have the Holy Spirit.
How does believing that the spirit of the lord resides in all men the root of Marxism?
The gnostic idea that "All is One" (aka "God is within all of us, we are God") is the religious background of collectivism. I just posted a bunch of articles on this topic.
But on the question of who has, or does not have, the Holy Spirit, read those passages.

Do you believe God sent his only son to die for your sins and that he rose again on the third day?
Jesus is God
No, we are not all God.
No, we are not all sons of God.
We all have a chance to realize we are living in sin and to attain eternal
life in Jesus Christ.
“For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”
II John 1:7 NKJV
Totally irrelevant to what we where talking about... we were talking a out the holy spirit.
I actually found a really good video...

God is not within all of us…
“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.”
I John 2:18-20 NKJV
NKJV
G_d is within us all though too many of us have hearts closed to realiize of His present .
