Biblical Universalism ~ Answers To Our Critics

Research the matter before throwing stones. Many have chosen to prematurely reject the biblical teaching of Universal Reconciliation before understanding what we teach. This leads to many false accusations and wasted words.

Universal salvation teaches: [1] God will use the great white throne judgment to beat the unrepentant wicked people into submission for as long as it takes in order to persuade them into believing he loves them. [2] The fiery law of God (lake of fire) can do what the atoning sacrifice of Christ couldn’t do. [2a] The wicked are saved by God’s law not by the blood of Jesus. [3] The wages of sin is major child abuse through God’s fiery law and not the 2nd final death which ends their existence.

#1potoo Universal salvation teaches: "[1] God will use the great white throne judgment to beat the unrepentant wicked people into submission for as long as it takes in order to persuade them into believing he loves them."

Eternal hell advocates believe that God used Satan to destroy a man's flesh that he might gain salvation. 1Cor 5:5). Eternal hell advocates believe God used the far country to cause the prodigal to "come to himself" and return to the Father's house. Luke15) cont.

#2 @ poto cont. So contrary to your assumption, Universalists really believe that God uses means (as you do) to bring men to Christ that they may be reconciled by the blood of His cross. Col 1:20)

#3 @potooth "[2] The fiery law of God (lake of fire) can do what the atoning sacrifice of Christ couldn’t do."

Using the same logic then EH advocates believe that delivering the fornicating man to Satan can do what the atoning sacrifice of Christ couldn’t do. No, The Lake Of Fire is the means God uses to ultimately bring men under the power of Christ's blood, just as the delivering to Satan was a means to an end.

#4 @potooth "[3] The wages of sin is major child abuse through God’s fiery law and not the 2nd final death which ends their existence."

On the contrary, we have no problem with God's wages for sin. Shame on you for considering Him to be a child abuser. Where is the passage that states that the second death ends one's existence? Are you aware that death is destroyed? 1Cor 15:26) May I ask you "how" death is destroyed?

[SwordofManticorE]

@ljhanna777 The second death was symbolic for the second destruction of the temple of Jerusalem and the end of the mosaic age as well as the ritual daily slaughter as prophesized in Dan 7-8 and Matt 3:10 and Matt 24..

[jamesstenbeck1977]

1Cor:15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.it is sown in corruption: it is raised in incorruption.

43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

[ljhanna777]

what is the second death in revelation talking about ? can you explain from a uni view point ?

@ShirleyCoralineJones, you said: "hell" comes from 3 Greek words and 1 Hebrew word, all with different meaning". You are right about that, the words are Sheol, Hades, Tartarus, and Gehenna, none of which bear any real resemblance to modern Christianity's concept of hell. Grace and peace to you.

[AspergianSaint]

@salvationofall, according to Romans 5, the effects of the cross of Christ are far more powerful than the effects of Adam's transgression.

He has woken up! He's done his research and learned that the words for "everlasting" and "eternal" do not mean forever! He's learned that the word "hell" comes from 3 Greek words and 1 Hebrew word, all with different meanings! Good job on knowing what it is you believe.
