Giving Glory (Part 2)

"Giving Glory" is a special interview by Gary Amirault with Louis Abbott, (perhaps best known on the Tentmaker site as the author of "An Analytical Study of Words"). This in-depth study on various words that have been translated as: "eternal," "everlasting," "judgment," "Hell" etc, has proved to be an invaluable study tool for many. Gary Amirault was a personal friend of Louis Abbott and was able to record this video of him shortly before he died. In this special interview, you will hear of Bro. Abbott's testimony--how, as a young pastor he was challenged by one of his members to study universal reconciliation. Intending to disprove the doctrine, Louis instead became convinced that it was true. After eventually leaving his pastorate, he gave much of his life to studying Greek and Hebrew; ranging from ancient manuscripts to modern scholarship. Louis, who studied the Greek New Testament for 50 years, spent his lifetime gathering this treasure-trove of information, which is now made available to the world. "There is probably no one who has studied the word 'aion' as much as Louis Abbott" declares Gary Amirault. This video will be a blessing to all who are either beginning this study, or who have been a Christian universalist for many years. It is our belief that after watching this video, the viewer, like Mr. Abbott, will come to the conclusion, that Jesus will save the entire world though His work on the cross.

i do not believe that all will be saved,it is gods desire that all man be saved ,but we clealrly make a our choice life or death. i do however agree with louis abbot stdy and respect the fact that aion has been misused and abused by many who imo have not studied the Greek.

Man's "choice?:

-is the "author and finisher of our faith." (Heb. 12:2)

-calls us through His grace. (Gal. 1:15).

-draws people to Himself. (John 6:44,65; 12:32; 14:16; 15:16)

-creates a clean heart. (Psalm 51:10)

-His arm brings salvation. (Psalm 98:1,2; (Isa. 51:5,6; Isa. 59:1)

[tentmaker777]

Man's Choice?:

-appoints people to believe. (Acts 13:48)

-works faith in the believer. (John 6:28-29)

-chooses who is to be holy and blameless. (Eph. 1:4)

-chooses us for salvation (2 Thess. 2:13-14).

-grants the act of believing. (Phil. 1:29)

-grants repentance. (2 Tim. 2:24-26)

-calls according to His purpose. (2 Tim. 1:9

[tentmaker777]

Man's Choice?:

-causes us to be born again. (1 Pet. 1:3)

-predestines us to salvation. (Rom. 8:29-30)

-predestines us to adoption. (Eph. 1:5)

-predestines us according to His purpose. (Eph. 1:11)

*makes us born again not by our will but by His will. (John 1:12-13)

It looks to me tha when men "think" they "choose" they are operating out of their carnal mind, ego. This mind will come to naught in due time. God saves, not man.

Would you please list for me the proof texts that support the "all will be saved" belief. Thank you

[tentmaker777]

if you go to tentmaker ministries and type in the search box reconciliation scriptures or Do you believe all in the Bible, you should come up with a couple lists. I can't post the url in youtube responses cause youtube doesn't allow it.

Wish I had the opportunity to sit under the teaching of this scholarly gentleman.

Gary Amirault is a scholar!

All scholars study and make research in Ancient Hellenic language, the mother of all languages.

it would be nice if Louis Abbott himself would elberate on the great white throne judgement..first u go to hell then once "that day" arrives for the g w jdgmnt then yer cast into the pit with death hell etc...as far as calvies man made {which millions believe} error what would be the purpose if god predestines u2 biurn 4ever & what would be the purpose for it with universal reconciliation ;;even if paul never wrote anything about himself repenting daily incase he "may have" become disqualified

Thanks Gary, double honor for those who labor in the word Abbott is surely receiving his in glory. Interviews like this have truly changed my life. Its sad that weekly God is blasphemed in churches across the world, as a cruel, maniacal sadist.
