Here lately there has been an ongoing conflict about things mostly related to calvinism it seems, like OSAS, the doctrine of election. The one thing i think that determines our theology is how we each see God. Some see only His good side, others only see their own good side.
im curious as to how do you view God?
I accept God in the Old Testament and in the new. The overall picture of completion of Christ leads me to believe not everyone is saved to the kingdom due to their non-reliance upon God and rejecting his son, God looks at our hearts. There will be people on the heavenly realm believers and non, from what I gather from the view John gave in revelation 22.
Most reject this notion however I can’t replace anything else with Revelation 22 and it stands by itself after everything had been completed dealing with the nation of Israel.
From what I understand all us will have a judgment day and be given a spiritual body based on what was built up here, that will be able to go into the kingdom, and those without still receive a spiritual body however it is not as well equipped to dwell in the kingdom.
Maybe we can go help them by going out of the kingdom and leading them to Christ. Most reject this by dogmatic stances of no second chances, which the Bible has never said or spoken about.
So my overview of God, is that God is love, he is righteous in his love and judgments, he is fair, and he can see right though us.
another side note is the Hebrews even consider God as him/her, as he had made man and woman, the Holy Spirit is actually seen as non-gender but also with the aspect of a comforter like a woman’s comfort. Interesting stuff.
Thank you for asking.
