I should note that I'm not convinced of universalism. However I object to the unwarranted condemnations of it and of people who believe it. I'm not convinced because it appears to me that Jesus didn't teach it, although I think it's likely that Paul did.
Dear Hedrick: the Lord Jesus Christ declares He would draw ALL unto Himself. Will He? I am inclined to believe His purpose shall be fulfilled completely. He refused to allow miracle remnants of fish and bread to be lost/wasted. Will He allow the mass for whom He is the Mercy Seat to be lost and wasted?
St. Paul expresses the following>>>
"It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--
the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. And you..."
The highest glories of the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, are revealed to us in Paul’s epistle to the Colossians.
In the beginning He was “…the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist” (Col. 1:15-17).
Can the UNIVERSALITY of Christ’s creation be more forcibly expressed? In every case the word ALL is used WITHOUT ANY LIMITATION whatever. The heavens and the earth with all that is in them, visible and invisible, include ALL creation.
