[Enoch111]

That is, the whole world will be saved, every single person in existence will trust in Christ and go to Heaven.

There is no such thing as "Christian Universalism". That is a false gospel and you are misleading others as well as yourself. Only those who obey the Gospel will be saved, and those who are saved will be relatively few compared to all humanity.

 

[MatthewG]

Hello I have heard Universalism is described as all ways lead to heavenly kingdom; but on the contrary the one way to get to the Heavenly Kingdom is by and through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[ScottA]

Christian Universalism is the Bible truth, my friend :)

1 John 2:2 Christ "is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world."

Will Jesus save the whole world? Yes!

Genesis 22:18 All nations on earth will be blessed through Abraham’s offspring.

Will all nations be blessed? Yes!

HABAKKUK 2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

Will the earth be filled with the glory of the Lord? Yes!

Thus, Jesus will save the whole world, blessing them with knowledge, faith in the Lord.

aka

The entire world will become believers in Christ and thus the entire world will go to Heaven.

You are making a similar argument as Satan made in the garden...Because you have not reconciled the scriptures that say just the opposite, but only picked out the ones you like. Likewise, (by that same measure) God has and will choose only those He likes.

Better check your oil.

 

[ScottA]

The scriptures are all true, breathed out by God. And they all point to Universal Salvation being true, as Christ Himself does not leave works unfinished. Thus, He will complete all of creation by making all believe in Jesus through faith alone and all will be given a glorified body.

Acts 3:21 NLT: “[Jesus] must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of ALL things, as God promised long ago through the prophets."

Romans 11:32: "For God has consigned all to disobedience, that He may have mercy on all."

Restoration of all! Mercy on all! Christ shall be all in all Scott my friend :)

You are not reconciling all scripture, but leaving out much. It is also written:

Daniel 12:2​

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.​

Matthew 7:21​

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.​

Matthew 22:14​

“For many are called, but few are chosen.”​

Revelation 20:15​

And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.​

So yes, God has had mercy on all by sending His Son, but not all believe and therefore are not chosen.

But you are also not using reason. What is the point of all of creation, all that is good and all that is evil, first destroyed by water and then the heavens and the earth and the elements being dissolved by holy fire, if the evil is not done away with? What test is it if no one was intended to fail? Will darkness also remain? No, and what portion is that? I submit that these things are written and you have read of them, and yet have not believed all.

"Jesus said 'You know the way to the place where I am going.'
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:2-6)

 

[ScottA]

Daniel 12:2​

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.​

 

[ScottA]

Daniel 12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to olam life, others to shame and olam contempt.



The original Hebrew word for "everlasting" is correctly translated as "age lasting". Which reveals there is an age of sin and an age free of sin, an age of death and an age of life.

Daniel 12:2 - Michael's Deliverance and the End Times

And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

עוֹלָ֔ם (‘ō·w·lām)

Noun - masculine singular

Strong's 5769:



Some will enter עוֹלָ֔ם (‘ō·w·lām) contempt and others to עוֹלָ֔ם (‘ō·w·lām) life. Some will have life for an age, and others will have death for an age. But eventually, all will have life for an age.



A good English equivalent is “eon” which means a length of time. And like ever length of time, there is a beginning and an end.



God has revealed that the age of sin will not last because everyone will believe with faith alone in Christ, and thus all people will be washed away of their sins. The Lord hates sin, which is why He desires to wash away all sin. The Lord loves everyone, which is why He desires to save everyone.

Rom. 11:36 "Of Him and through Him and to Him are ALL THINGS, to whom be glory forever. Amen"

2 Cor. 5:14 "Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for ALL, and therefore all died."



who sleep

מִיְּשֵׁנֵ֥י (mî·yə·šê·nê)

Preposition-m | Noun - masculine plural construct

Strong's 3463: Sleeping



in Sheol,

שְּׁא֣וֹל (šə·’ō·wl)

Noun - common singular

Strong's 7585: Underworld (place to which people descend at death)



And where do they sleep? In Sheol, which is the realm of the dead, where both the believers and the unbelievers rest, which is not hell. Those who believed in Jesus Christ before dying will awake and go to Heaven. Those who did not believe in Jesus Christ, Christ Jesus Himself will come to them and convince them to believe in Him, and won’t stop persuading them until they believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour with faith alone.



PSALM 139:8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.

The Lord is in Sheol! Why? Because He’s saving everyone in Sheol!



if I make my bed

וְאַצִּ֖יעָה (wə·’aṣ·ṣî·‘āh)

Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive imperfect Cohortative - first person common singular

Strong's 3331: To strew as a, surface



Why do people make a bed? To sleep on. That means, everyone will have a bed in Sheol, everyone will be sleeping in Sheol, and God is there watching over everyone sleeping in their Sheol beds.



1 Samuel 2:6 The Lord kills and he gives life, he sends down to Sheol, he can bring the dead up again.

The dead meaning all the dead brought up again.



Psalm 16:10 You will not leave my soul in Sheol.

The Lord will never leave anyone’s soul in Sheol, everyone will enter into New Jerusalem!



Psalm NEB 86:13 For thy true love stands high above me; thou hast rescued my soul from the depths of Sheol.

True love for someone means rescuing their soul from Sheol. Thus, everyone in Sheol will be rescored, because God, who is the true God of love, has true love for every person in existence!



Psalm NEB 116:3-8 The cords of death bend me, Sheol held me in its grip . so I invoked the Lord by name. "Deliver me, 0 Lord, I beseech thee..." Gracious is the Lord and righteous, our God is full of compassion ...I was brought low and he saved me ... He has rescued me from death.

The Lord delivers all those who ask and invoke His name, which means, all who believe in Christ. Thus, everyone in Sheol will want to be saved and will be saved by believing in Jesus.

Defining things the way the world defines them is the problem with what you have presented. That is not the gist of what is by definition, "not of this world." This is quite simple:

The KJV translates Strong's H5769 in the following manner: ever (272x), everlasting (63x), old (22x), perpetual (22x), evermore (15x), never (13x), time (6x), ancient (5x), world (4x), always (3x), alway (2x), long (2x), more (2x), never (with H408) (2x), miscellaneous (6x).​

The point is not to understand the matters of God and of the kingdom in terms of the world which is passing away--which none of this is about, but rather in terms of the kingdom which is very simply, eternal. None of this is actually about the world, but is about after the world has passed away and all things are eternal.

In that context--if you care to actually understand--the scriptures paint a clear picture of one man of sin eternally being thrown into the lake of fire, and One man (Jesus) eternally being One with God in heavenly spender. All of which is forever. But neither man is just one man as such, but as with Christ, is "a body of many members"--so too is the man of sin (a "father" of many).

On the contrary, what you are claiming is that darkness is not done away with, but is converted to be light. Again, however, that is not at all the gist of the scriptural message.

The founders of all other religions are corpses in graves somewhere, but Jesus is not, and that fact alone should be enough to convince people that Jesus is the only true way..:)

[Keturah]

He is the LIFE, THE TRUTH AND THE WAY !
HAVING THE KEYS OF DEATH, HELL AND THE GRAVE !

He is Alive & Risen!!!!!!!!

Here we all are, trapped on this spinning ball of mud sailing through space without knowing how we got here, but Jesus (like the Royce character in this clip) tells us how we can get off it..:)-

Here's another guy in the Jesus mould who says "follow me"-

 

[Dropship]

Yes, Jesus is the only way true way to Heaven, my friend! <3 Only His blood washes us of all our sins. Thus, everyone in the graves, will eventually be convinced in Jesus Christ to be saved and will believe in Him with faith alone and go to Heaven

If Hitler, Saddam, Bin Laden and people like that are going to be in heaven, i don't think i'd want to go..:)

 

[BreadOfLife]

For this instance for example, what I mean is, I am against the Roman Catholic Church because they teach works salvation which is false.

This statement is false.

I don't mind that you disagree with the Catholic Church - but I will NOT allow you to LIE about the Church without responding. We teach that we cannot "earn" our salvation.

We are saved by GRACE because if what Jesus did on the cross.
The mistake that Protestantism introduced was the fallacy that faith a works are two different things.

Jesus made it crystal clear that: Faith = Belief + Obedience *Works, Surrender* (Matt. 7:21, Matt. 19:21 Matt. 16:24 , 25:31–46, Luke 9:23, Luke 18:22, John 14:15, 15:10).
Without those elements – you do NOT have faith. Belief by itself is NOT faith, either because even the demons believe (James 2:10).

To clarify – the “works” what we do that are PART of our faith are those that God has prepared for us in advance, as Paul describes in Eph.2:10. These are NOT works poof the Law, nor are they “good deeds” that come solely from ourselves.
Paul also tells us that nothing matter but faith working through love (Gal. 5:6).

Believe with faith alone in Christ Jesus and be saved. Thus all people will become believers in Jesus Christ and go to Heaven. This is the truth my friends :)

Isaiah 54:13 "All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children"

I was reading the news and found this saddening story.

https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/10l5ghk
Title: 23% of Dutch under-40s think the Holocaust was a myth or exaggerated

Here is the truth: The Holocaust is real historical event that has been extensively documented by many scientifically proven sources. These accounts have been backed by multiple third-party research organizations, international bodies and governments and thus are accurate.

The Holocaust is NOT a myth. The Holocaust is NOT exaggerated.

Antisemitism is racism, because it involves antagonism against a specific race. The truth is that Christ came to save all races, all Jewish people will go to Heaven. This is true. Every member of every race will believe in Christ with faith alone and be saved.

The Lord tells us we will all be equal under Christ.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

It’s truly sickening how there are people out there who will actively deny the historical facts that these tragedies took place. Then you have the rise of people who praise Hitler. Hitler is EVIL! Because Hitler committed mass violence and the Lord is against violence. “Neo-nazis” as in, new nazis, who are still evil just like the old nazis, because they also promote mass violence. Or evil “White Supremacists” who believe their random race to be better than other races and hate other races, Christ commands us to love each other, Christ makes us equal.

Psalm 11:5 The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.

We are supposed to love each other, as Christ commands.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

The Lord is against antisemitisms. We are not to judge people based on how they look like physically. And Christ did not come to judge the world, but to save it.

John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

John 12:47 Jesus "did not come to judge the world but to save the world."

Satan has tried many times to wipe out the Jewish people, from the times of Babylon to the evil Nazis. The Devil is also behind the false doctrine of ET, Eternal Torment. So this shows that Satan uses racism as a tool to cause harm. The doctrine of Universal Reconciliation is the solution against racism, because it doesn’t matter what race you are, eventually, you will be convinced to believe in Jesus Christ and be washed of all your sins.

Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,

It will be a truly beautiful day to see all the diverse nations of the Earth, every people, gathered together before the Lamb in peace and harmony with one another, with love <3

Here is a quote from the user WhiteWings from the Tentmaker Forum, a discussion site for Christian Universalists.
Antisemitism goes hand in hand with that filthy ET doctrine.
Both antisemitism and mainstream "Christian" teachings are doctrines of exclusion.

Antisemitism often goes hand in hand with racism. Exclude other groups.

That's what today's paganized church is all about. Excluding as many people as possible. That way the few left are special. Superior. Hitler would speak of ubermenschen and untermenschen.

That's the tickling of the ears. (2 Tim 4:3)

That's NOT what the Bible says.
You preach a FALSE Gospel.

Jesus made it anumdantly clear that the road to salvation is through a NARROW gate - and the road to damnation is the BROUD gate:
Matt. 7:14
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

I can produce MANY more verses that preach the message that Hell and eternal damnation and suffering is very REAL. - and MANY people will go there (Isa. 33:11, 14, Matt. 25:31-34, 41, 46, Mark 9:47–48, Luke 3:16-17, 2 Thess. 1:6-9).

Good luck telling GOD that He;s a Liar . . .

 

[MatthewG]

In Revelation 22,

It says that a certain group of named people are outside of the Kingdom of God.


Despite what people may say - they still have to consider what John the Baptist writes in Revelation 21-22.

I believe unbelievers and believers are all going to be resurrected and just like HELL - that is done away with in Revelation 20 - there are two compartments in the Heavenly Realm.

Outside, and Inside the Kingdom where God resides.

May the God of peace be with you.
