Greetings and blessings to all here in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Just to let you know, I believe the Jesus Christ will save all mankind from their sin. However, I do not identify myself as a "univeralist" as that term means many different things, some of which I strongly disagree with. I believe that following Jesus Christ is the only way to enter God's kingdom and that any person who does not obey Christ's commandments will indeed reap judgment and destruction upon himself, whether one calls Christ "Lord" or not.

God bless,
Bob

Hello bobf! Very Happy

Forgive me, please, for debating with you before I even said a proper "Hello!". Embarassed

And, I like your opening paragraph; namely your claiming to not be a "universalist". Wink

Belated official greetings to you, Bob!

And well said!

I believe that Unconditional Universal Love is the key belief,

which Love then helps us to see how any other two opposing beliefs or doctrines can both be true:
creation and evolution,
unlimited salvation and limited salvation,
etc and etc,
---neither being wrong of itself---
and
with only any sin of Hate attached to either in Hate of the other, or vice versa, being the real problem, and blinding us to see how both can work.

"No man [with emphasis on 'man'] can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible;
but
with God all things are possible.
Matthew 6:24. 19:26

"The test of a first-rate intelligence
is
the ability to hold
two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald

God Bless!

In Godly Unlimited Universal Master Love
for both master opposites or opposite masters,
for both creation & evolution, creationists & evolutionists,
for both unltd. u.s. and ltd.s., unltd u.s.-ists & ltd u.s.-ists,
atoz

Welcome, Bob! We have something in common! I'm not a universalist either! Wink
