I agree with you on universal salvation. However, I think your argument could be strengthened by quoting some universalist theologians of the early church. It is a common rhetoric technique to open an argument by saying that you are outspoken and a minority opinion. I think it would be slightly stronger in terms of rhetoric to quote that universalists and more modern thinking christians agree that the majority of christians were universalists.

@johnismynameful Yes, it's unfortunate that most Christians know very little about the first few centuries of Christianity before it plunged into the Dark Ages from which we have not yet emerged. But with the advent of the internet and print on demand publishing the truth is beginning to come forth again in pristine beauty.

who is your god? U r telling me to repent, instead u should be the one need stop your lousy bible interpreting.

[tentmaker777]

I believe in the God of the Bible and I'm not "interpretting." Go visit "Hell is leaving the bible" on the Tentmaker Ministries site and you'll see what's going on in Bible translating. Hell is disappearing because it never should have been in the Bible in the first place. And in the original languages it's not there. Now why does that upset you. Do you like the idea of billions being tortured forever. Is that the kind of mind and heart that you have?

Gary is not teaching that you can do whatever you want. All you are doing is showing some extreme ignorance. Calling names, and being sarcastic is not in anyway Christian.  It just shows that someone has a lack of confidence in their dying Hellfire beliefs. Its fine if you want to believe in that Born Again Mumbo Jumbo, but dont try leading anyone else into that exclusive cult. Thanks.

Thank you sooo much Gary for teaching the truth!!!

@tentmaker777 I understand your view and I too struggled with this topic. Never the less the bibles states that Hell is eternal for those who reject Jesus. "The carnal mind is enmity against God"—Romans 8:7

Just because your carnal mind can't understand the ways of God doesn't mean you can twist scripture.

[tentmaker777]

@Tomekwinxs But according to you, all those 6 million Jews of their own choice to reject Jesus are in Hell with Hitler. Your god has no sense of decency or justice. Your god probably looks just like you. Think about it.

[Tomekwinxs]

@tentmaker777 God gave you free will to believe or not to believe and that is love! He sent his son to die for you so that you don't have to perish. You have a choice, but your carnal minds can't accept God rule so you twist the scripture so it fits well with you. "The carnal mind is enmity against God"—Romans 8:7.

Hitler never gave those Jews a voice to choose, but God gave you a voice to choose and that is LOVE!

[tentmaker777]

Gee, you have such a wimpy and unwise God. Please think your thoughts through. God set into motion a scenario that human beings can determine the eternal fate of another human being? What a pathetic plan! What lack of power! How can you trust in such a being? How can you be assured He won't screw up your after life since He did such a pathetic job here on earth? Your god is no god at all. Your god is an image of yourself a failure human being. You are your own idol, a bad god. repent.

Lol but the way u interpret the bible will lead a lot of souls to hell.
