    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

    Thoughts and words are creative. We can crush ourselves with constant negative self talk just as we can alienate others or lift them up with words. Satan is not ignorant of this. Sin destroys us, either slowly or quickly yet it often has the appearance of a solution. God does not destroy us...

    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

    No, you're not in the same boat mate. We need to speak well of God in preference to poorly of Satan. To do this using the scriptures, it is helpful to understand some Hebrew rationale. It goes a long way to clear up misconceptions held by many Christians in modern times.

    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

It is recognised by being familiar with the genuine article Counterfeits and decoys are everywhere; only familiarity with...

    Is there a need for prophets in our modern world

    God still has his Prophets in contrast to the many false prophets on the World's stage. They might not have the ancient image but they surely are his mouthpiece.

    Does Christian Universalism sidestep the justice of God?

    Has it occurred to you, you give the devil a front row seat even though it's through mockery? He loves to consume our thinking anyway he can and he laughs with glee when he gets those who call themselves the followers of Jesus to do his work.

    the use of OT images

    What we allow into our bodies whether through our ears or our mouth bears on our health physically and emotionally, let alone the experiences we all are subject to. God is into restoring his image and he does it by feeding us healthy input. It includes both diet and good information. Will we...

    Olivet Discourse present or future?

    The times we live in today is advanced comparatively. Human rights were not heard of, environmental care or concerns were not even on the horizon. The influence Israel came from was that of the Pharaohs. That's the only system they were familiar with (400 yrs of slavery) ...do what the boss...

    the use of OT images

    Answers?....self sacrifice is the principle of the Kingdom of God. The decalogue reflects these principles. Jesus was its embodiment.
