You believe in universal reconciliation and you're an admin?
Do you have to answer a simple question is a condescending and arrogant wrong answer?
I will have to rethink my positions about this board knowing such heresy is not only tolerated but promoted by the admins.
Seriosuly, universal reconciliation is just so not biblical and I only didn't quote scripture becaue the Bjiible is full of overwhelming evidence that Hell is real and lst for ever and ever.
Alos, unviersal salvation wasn't the teaching of the early chruch, but just one shool of thought which was not accepted by the OCuncil fo Nicea, whichthe vast majority of Christians beleive to be guided by the Holy spirit and the establishment of Orthodoxy. i therefore asserted the unviersal reconciliation was a heretical idea and not scripturally accurate. It sounds to me like you've been reading the Apocolypse of Peter if you believe in universal reconciliation. The chruch decided to leave it out because it taught that all the souls in Hell would one day get out but here's the problem.
Hell is not forever so it's basically a place of purging and cleansing very much like Purgaotry, so therefore if a person is OK with the idea of suffering after death for their sins knowing that they will be forgiven eventually, then they also know that they will never be ultimately acoutnable for them and can basically do what they want.
Oh and as for the word meanings, how come with all the Bible translations we have to day all of them say that Hell is forever, how can every Bible translation expect for your study be in error. Don't you think that these translations are done by teams of highley skilled scholars that know ancenient lanauges inside out and really do know what they are reading. Why not trust their scholarship.
Look! Jesus died for our sins, all of them right, this is the funimental Christian doctrine so of course I believe it.
Through Christ werecieve God's grace which saves us from Hell but only if we seek it through Christ. Jesus said, "no-one comes to the Father except through me." Therefore if you don't come through Jesus you won't ahve your sins forgiven and the price for sin is endless suffering. Jesus died so we wouldn't ahve to fae that suffering but those who refuse to follow him will experience it.
Now about your word games
Revelations 22:18-19
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

I am really struggling with the Biblical interpretation of the Rapture. I need to find a good study.
