"Christians don't just pick the verses they like!"Hi Jack. I am a Christian, thus I use Bible verses. I don't see what the problem here is?
Doesn't it bother that you may be leading your loved ones to Hell with you?Jack my friend, have you not seen my comments that I have provided for your verses? Whatever verses that I choose for my daily entries are ones that I just so happen to choose. So I posted my commentary on the Matthew 25:46 verse since I believe that's one you would suggest. God bless!
I have posted the word of God.Hi Rita
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;" as Matthew 7 reveals. But for how long will they be unable to enter the kingdom of Heaven. We see this length of time will depend on how long they remains as one solely born of Adam. One who has not yet been born of Christ. But surely, all shall be born of Christ.
It's not merely saying "Lord, Lord" to enter the kingdom of Heaven. One may claim to be Christian outwardly, verbally, but if they do not believe in Christ, then they are not saved, no matter how many times they repeat the word "Lord"
Colossians 3:11 KJBWhere there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 3:11 - Putting on the New Self
Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.www.biblehub.com
I agree with John 3:3-8 KJB, specifically, how a person must be born again to see the kingdom of God, they must believe in Christ to be saved. Therefore, everyone will eventually be born again, because, everyone has been born at first. All humans have been phyiscally born of Adam and thus all humans will then be spiritually born of Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:22 KJB For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

I agree Ritajanice my friend, when you say that a person must be Born Again, where they must be birthed in the Spirit to be saved.
You say that "not everyone will see the Kingdom of God", yet let us see what scripture tells us:
Phil. 2:10:11 "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father."
It shows no such thing, @Harold ....it’s showing what imo and with respect....what “ YOU” say....Shows us that all in Heaven, in Earth, will give glory to God the Father. How can a person truly give glory to God if they are not Born Again? Will not all people have the Holy Spirit in order to praise God? There is nothing praiseworthy about those who still have sin and eternal concious torment and annihlationism are doctrines where a person's sin remains unclean. Only in Christian Universalism are all the world's sins truly removed! This is God's desire. God bless![]()
We see your words @Harold ....all of “ your “ wishes and desires.....I too would love to see every single person “ birthed in the Spirit “......Born Again.......unfortunately....it’s not my word nor your word that stands....only God’s word.We see here
Great post, thanks.Christian Universalism attests to the agape love, righteousness, wisdom, justice, mercy, compassion, omnipotence of God. God who will have all to be saved, is able to accomplish this. He has all power and He is able to bring all into subjection of His perfect sovereign will in His own time. God bless.

Hi, I believe that the justice of God involves correction. I do not believe that justice involves infinite punishment but that it has a purpose for the betterment of the individual. I believe that many will experience the righteous judgments of God which are part of process of the restoration of all to God in the end. I believe that we reap what we sow, that we experience the consequences for our actions/works but this leads to correction. I am still studying this with God's help. God bless.Please share more about your view of the justice of God.
Tell us how justice works if everyone is saved in the end. Thanks.
(this is not a rebuttal, pretty sure we are in agreement)
Maybe I should launch a topic and invite you.
Yes you will.I will not stop promoting Christian Universalism.
You certainly will!Again, I will not stop promoting Christian Universalism.
You will indeed!Hi Jack,
Again, I will not stop promoting Christian Universalism. Same quotes

Matthew 25:41 - The Sheep and the Goats
Then He will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.www.biblehub.com
eternal
αἰώνιον (aiōnion)
Strong's 166: From aion;
aion means age. aionion is an inflection of the word aion. aionion means pertaining to an age. therefore, aionion does not mean an unlimited duration, because this age is that of a limited duration
Again, we see the same aionion here![]()
Revelation 20:10 - Satan Cast into the Lake of Fire
And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, into which the beast and the false prophet had already been thrown. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.www.biblehub.com
ever.
αἰώνων (aiōnōn)
Strong's 165: From the same as aei; properly, an age
so same explanation. age, limited, inflected as aionion, still limited.
God bless Jack![]()
You should have minded your mother Harold.Yesterday Aug 23 2023 my mother initiated conversation with me with her shouting as I calmly replied with love, as usual. Before, she wanted me to stop writing Bible verses, now she wants me to stop reading the Bible by myself. I ask her if I can still read the Bible at church and she tells me no, that I should leave Bible interpretation to those with high IQ in the church.
```1 Cor 3:20 KJB And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. ```
“Even your goal, you cannot make logic anymore. There’s no logic anymore there.” she tells me.
“It’s like where is your intelligence now? What happen to your intelligence? It’s taken from the Bible?!” my mother shouts at me, saying this is God’s punishment to me.
“You’re throwing words on the Bible to me and just using that as explanation. Where’s your logic? It’s gone. And that, if you don’t have logic, that’s the problem. You’re like a child who did not study at all. You’re just like a child who did not go to school. You have no intelligence, no logic.” my mother says
My mother tells me that I have a smaller brain and she has a bigger brain than me. She states that her IQ is higher than mine and that my IQ is lower, calling me delusional.
Thus, my mom tells me this story. When she was in the Philippines, there was a boy who stopped attending church. She visited his house and he just sitting there, verbally saying Bible verses. She felt goosebumps and this boy was later taken to the mental hospital.
My mother tells me this same goosebump feeling she felt while watching the fictional anime series Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood with my sister and I. She described it as a scene where they were in a cave and I think there was the bad guy. I tell her I don’t remember this scene and she says my memory is deteriorating.
She tells me that she feels these same goosebumps when she sees me. She states that she can see the future and that no one will like me, that I will end up in a mental hospital.
My mother tells me I am going down the drain, like to the darkness, that I will not be successful, that I will end up like, who she rudely calls the “bums on the street”. Those people on the street? They’re my friends, I talk with them about Christianity, and truly I tell you, I feel more kindness from them than from my own mother here! Why do I evangelize? Why do I tell people to believe in Christ to gain permanent life, that all will? It’s for the sake of their smiles. The genuine feeling of happiness I could sense when talking to these people about the Bible. I will not stop promoting Christian Universalism.
If you had heeded your Mother's advice, maybe you wouldn't be following the LGBTQ lunatics to Hell fire.Yesterday, Aug 23 2023. My mother takes my handwritten Bible verses. She removes the papers I hid under my socks, and in my pocket, and a pen too. But I had another pen and ran to a washroom to use the paper towel rolls to write my UR Bible verses on to spread in public.
I return home and my mother thinks I had stolen this pen, but I tell her I brought it with me from inside. Without evidence, both views exist in the realm of possibility.
```Exodus 20:15 JPS Tanakh 1917 Thou shalt not steal. ```
I learned recently that Exodus 20:15 commandment on “stealing” is specifically referring to “manstealing” aka kidnapping, and not necessarily the taking of private property. We see the spiritual forces of evil as the manstealer, as they have taken us away from a relationship with God due to sin.
In order for God to reverse the Exodus 20:15 commandment, all those who were kidnapped into sin, must be permanently freed, the slaves must be definitively liberated, which is only possible by faith alone in Jesus Christ.
For as long as Infernalism and Annihlationism is true, then these stolen people continue to be trapped, either in permanent torture or permanent death. Only through Universal Reconciliation in Christ can all of humanity be rescured from the Manstealer, the Kidnapper, Sin.
