    Universal Salvation

    The scriptures are clear that the only way to CONFESS that Jesus is Lord is by the Holy Spirit and the scriptures are clear that everyone will confess that He is Lord - universally. Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things...

    How did you arrive at the death being on a Wednesday? The Jews followed a Lunar Calendar for appointed times. In other words even the Sabbath could end up on any NAMED Day of the week such as Saturday, Sunday, Monday, etc... but it would always land on the 7th day of the Lunar week.

    For 2023 to be the 2nd Coming would mean that the 80th Jubilee had to be around 14 AD - meaning the passover would have been around that time.

    Universal Salvation

    God is please with the emulation of His Son Jesus Christ within us. Your free will exists before you even have knowledge of the persuasion. The book of Hebrews tells you why Jesus had to be a sacrifice for us. We don't convince God to be a sacrifice, God is the author and finisher of our...

    Universal Salvation

    The scriptures show that you cannot confess that Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Spirit: 1Co_12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

    Universal Salvation

    I do believe in free will. But Free Will is exercised under the Framework that God controls. He controls the framework and can control the free will. You see we were made subject to vanity (Adam and Eve) included. Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but...

    I'm not sure what your meaning by "override it"

    Universal Salvation

    Replying to Scoot: 1) From your posts, it seems as though you believe that God always gets what He wants. Yes, I do believe He always get what He wants. Those areas where you believe He doesn't is just not so. For example, I DO believe God wants sin to occur at this time. I believe He wanted...

    Universal Salvation

    So if God knows the end from the beginning and God does everything with a purpose and can't fail, then why give them Life? And God seems to counter any argument that He can fail to persuade: Isa_55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but...

    Universal Salvation

    I never said it doesn't matter. On the contrary, the only way to salvation is through Christ.

    Universal Salvation

    Forgive me as I'm not even really sure what a loaded question is but I know in sincerity here that my motives are not to get over on anyone. I'm simply presenting my understanding to take into context to this discussion. Now you claim that God was not trying to harden pharoh and I pointed out...

    Universal Salvation

    I would agree that, God plan to save all - they all get saved. His plans don't fail.

    Universal Salvation

    No only one road leads to Heaven but all eventually will get on it. There will be a huge detour placed on the other roads soon. ;-)

    Universal Salvation

    Sounds like you may believe in Annihilationism. Let's consider what Moses said if God wouldn't take away the sins of the Israelites that sinned against God: Well God will have all to be saved so this is the answer: 1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 1Ti...

    Universal Salvation

    So did you read that, outside the gates of the city are all those things. Those are sinners. A sinner has sin and sins. But Christ is about the universal ERADICATION of sin. 1Jn_3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of...

    Universal Salvation

    I do believe that everyone will eventually receive the Life of Jesus but it's not unconditional. The condition of Christ is righteousness. NOBODY, I REPEAT NOBODY, got their Righteousness without having it given to them by the Lord. And the Lord even gave the CHIEF of sinners (Apostle Paul)...

    Universal Salvation

    I appreciate your being candid and gentle. I'm not here to judge but I like to give a perspective that maybe others haven't heard. So I do appreciate your responses. We can all just keep searching brother.

    Universal Salvation

    I don't know Amadeus but I hope I was as you before. I always see people go from eternal torment or annihilation to Universalism but I don't know of any that have gone the other direction. I've been all 3. But those opening questions I have can help lead others to think about it more. The...

    Universal Salvation

    I believe those that hunger and thirst for righteousness will come to see that Universal Salvation is at the core of the Gospel Message but in respect to difference, the Lord is the judge as to His servants.

    The timeline is set according to pattern given. 7 days = 7000 years, 6 days for man and the 7th for Christ. From the Epistle of Barnabas: "And God made in six days the works of His hands, and made an end on the seventh day, and rested on it, and sanctified it." Attend, my children, to the...
