30+ Bible verses that support universal salvation

[Toro]

I simply affirmed that I already do what she suggested.

Then you claimed her to not have the Spirit herself just because she did not answer your question.

That is prideful and arrogant, to believe that just because you ask, you are entitled to an answer. Nether of those are traits of abiding in the Holy Spirit and discernment based on your quick assumption.

IF you already do that, good... then the reminder was clearly not aimed at you.

IF you already do that, good... then the reminder was clearly not aimed at you.

Besides affirming, I asked her prior because I wondered if she practiced what she preached.

I found her answer evasive (that's a judgment you're right), but she was free to rebuke it, and she didn't.

I did not claim she does not have the Holy Spirit. Just inferred from her answer that she didn't ask God for it. But, if I can infer from your conclusion that you believe you can only receive the Holy Spirit upon asking, then I got hope for you, because maybe you have, or will.

I didn't think my post was either arrogant or prideful. Bold perhaps.

Perhaps my assumption was quick. Perhaps she should have just answered with yes or no.
I think you're making a bigger deal of it than both of us did.

What can you tell me about discernment and abiding in the Holy Spirit that you think I am lacking?

 

[Light of the East]

You create a strawmasn argument then beat that strawman!

God created man perfect! Just like he created all three classes of spirit being s perfect. But He gave both of us a will to choose obedience or disobedience and gave consequences. He foreknew but did not force man to fall, He just knew they would all fall!

I freely admit I do not understand all of that! But then again I am but a speck of dust in the universe God spoke into existence! I can only see from a finite perspective. God sees from an infinite perspective. I can only declare what He revealed in HIs Word. Anything that contradicts His Word I resist with all the breath I have! For that is heresy and apostasy!

No, this is not a strawman. I am asking you, and anyone else who feels as you do, to engage your thoughts on what it means for God to create Ex Nihlo, that is, out of nothing and with no external force making Him create. In other words, it is a totally free creation.

Now think. If God creates, then He creates to a purpose or telos (ending). A goal is in mind. What is that goal? Whatever it is, it is the will of God that this goal be accomplished, and as the catechisms of various denominations state, God can do all His holy will. There is nothing that can defy His will.

So answer my question, please. Was it the goal and intention of God to create with the purposeful end being that the vast majority of human beings would suffer eternally? If it was, then belief in an eternal hell is correct. But of what character is a Supreme Being who would create sentient beings with the goal being nothing more than their eternal and unending torment?

I await your answer.

Universalism Is Heresy.

You haven't answered me. Tossing around the word "heresy" is not an answer. I posted a clear and definite answer (several in fact) regarding the nature of Constantinople II and how that council was twiddled with by Justinian for political purposes. I answered your concern regarding Origen and showed that the council never mentions Apokatastasis by name, nor do they go back and anathematize other saints in the Church who clearly taught it. They anathematized Origen's writings, one of which was a form of Apokatastasis which was peculiar and particular to him. That is not the same as a wholesale condemnation of the teaching, and it is telling that for 500 years, that teaching was very popular in the Church alongside two other teachings: eternal conscious torment and annihilationism. Neither annihilationism nor apokatastasis were condemned for 500 years, even while being openly taught at theological schools. You need to ask yourself why that was.

Dang, Jude, that is like having freedom of speech taken away as in to having a right to different thought and opinion. However all men are fallible right?

Some men believe God created humans just to let them live, die and send them to a place of torture forever and ever. That doesn’t sound like God to me, whom is love. And that is okay to have these thoughts and to not believe in that type of God some people believe in. However as people and of our fallen nature we are able to have those beliefs if we so desire them and or want them to be true.

This is one reason believers should be able to rejoice, cause not everyone has to have the same beliefs as others to be part of the group or club in some aspect.

All people were saved by the blood shed of the Lord Jesus Christ. Believers and Non believers. All had their sin forgiven. Even in believers sin still exist, and we all know sin doesn’t exist with God.

So what other option is there aside from believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and the hope for all people either in this life or the next life to find and answer the call from God that never stops trying to have and make contact with his creation.

And besides all of this, what are people saved from anyway? I always hear about saved this saved that, but from what? How? And why?

30+ Bible verses, that either in isolation or in combination with other verses support universal salvation for non-believers to ponder and believers to enjoy, use and add to (I will then add them to the OP):

So what other option is there aside from believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and the hope for all people either in this life or the next life to find and answer the call from God that never stops trying to have and make contact with his creation.

The Hope of all hopes continues to be expressed. It never stops because it comes from the One who finishes what He begins.

The Scars Of Life

Some years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water he ran out the back door leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake that an alligator was swimming toward the shore.

His father was working in the yard and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utter fear he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could. Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father.

But it was too late.

Just as the little boy reached his father, the alligator reached him.

From the dock the father grabbed his little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by and heard his screams. Grabbing a rifle the farmer raced from his truck, took aim, and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And on his arms were deep scratches where his father's fingernails had dug into the boy's flesh in his effort to hang on to the son he loved.

A newspaper reporter interviewing the boy after the trauma asked if he would show him the scars on his legs. The boy lifted his pant legs.

And then with obvious pride, the boy said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too!

I have them because my Dad wouldn't let go."

Universalism Is Heresy and Origen Is A Heretic.

It's been Condemned for more than 1,400 years.

And that's an indictment on what passes for the Church. How about this for a working title? 'When orthodoxy became heresy.'

We've been through this many times before, and despite all the problems and controversies with the 5th Ecumenical Council ([bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] attendance, questionable record of proceedings, lack of confirmation), the Anathema of Justinian as bereft of Canon law significance, and Justinian personally as a Roman Emperor (reintroducing Roman law across Christendom), you just keep stumping it up.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Is 5:20)

You shouldn't put traditions of men ahead of the word of God, sir.

In the Orthodox faith, the canons of the Seven Ecumenical Councils reflect the mind of the Church, which we believe are binding on us as members of the Church. We believe this because we believe that Christ promised to lead the Apostles and their successors into all truth. There must be a standard of truth or truth becomes a Wild West show, as we have seen in the denominations of Protestantism where every man becomes his own pope.

I accept the Seven Ecumenical Councils as binding upon me. The problem that Jude and others in Orthodoxy do not wish to address was well-stated by you and I have repeated it to him without avail: the council was a trainwreck from the beginning and needs to be revisited by the hierarchs of the Church with the intent of clearing it up. Justinian's canons are irregular, do not belong to the council, and have been found to be of spurious nature by modern scholarship. In addition, the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Ecumenical Councils make no mention of the word "Apokatastasis" nor do they mention any of the other Fathers of the Church such as St. Gregory of Nyssa who openly taught it. Heretics were condemned by councils even if they were long dead, as in the case of Origen. This is telling in itself.

I have taken the time and trouble to read all the canons of these councils. I find that Origen was condemned. Apokatastasis is not mentioned. Those who wish to discredit Apokatastasis try to attach it to Origen's condemnation and bring it in the side door. This is dishonest. What was condemned of his writings were the strange ideas he had about the pre-existence of souls and other strange things, eight of them in all. As I said, if this were a heresy, there would be not only a condemnation of him by name, but also of the many saints in the Church who taught it. It is not there.

So to say that Orthodoxy condemns it by appealing to Constantinople II is ducking the issue. I guess Jude thinks I haven't done my homework on this issue. I have and will continue to do so. I was doing more reading and studying tonight, along with writing out my thoughts on the issue. Writing helps me think.

I realize that I cannot believe in or teach this as a truth, but I am allowed it as a theologumen, a theological idea. And I am allowed to hope that it is true, which I do. I find the evidence pointing to it, especially the character of God, to be overwhelmingly in favor of such mercy. If I am wrong, so be it, but I am in no way going against the accepted canons of Constantinople II because the canons of Justinian have been highly questioned as false, not to mention that Justinian himself had no business threatening Pope Virgilius, the council members, and intruding his political will on the council for the purpose of uniting the Empire. If one does not know what I speaking of, there are plenty of histories of Justinian and his actions which are available by a simple Google search.

I rest my case.

 

[Light of the East]

Salvation is not an offer. It is sourced in the Author & Finisher whose middle Name is Isous.

"God IS the Saviour of all mankind, especially those who believe. Command & teach."

According to Romans 5: 12-19, it is a done deed. Christ entered the "house of the strong man," kicked his evil butt, and took back all that was stolen from God and held captive. The only thing left is the application, which is our responsibility to do in turning in repentance to Him. Some do it now, some wait till later and shall suffer for their refusal.

Would He who suffered unimaginable agonies in order to plunder the strong man's house do so only to allow the evil one to come back and reclaim the majority of the treasure, thus winning in the end? I consider that unthinkable!

 

[Swan7]

But to answer your question, anyone can tell you yes or no. It’s your responsibility as a believer to test every spirit.

That's right, anybody can tell me anything, but I usually know what's up. I take your evasive answer as a no.

You assume I don't have the Holy Spirit. I answered your question and you didn't like it - that's it. Look at how Jesus Christ answered the questions brought to Him by the Pharisees. He did not give them a plain "yes or no" either. This is the point of testing the spirits and being careful giving an answer. That is what Jesus Christ exercised in those moments and more so.

Like I said, it is our responsibility as believers to test the spirits rather than assume. Otherwise you could be making a mistake by not doing this very thing and assuming a believer to be false when that might not be the case. You don't know people like God does. He sees more than we ever can.

There is a place for discernment - yes, but to use it correctly and humbly. Test the spirits and the spirits themselves will be revealed in this way.

Peace

 

[Blade]

Might not mean anything to .anyone. One day I just asked Him.. why just save everyone.. no matter what they believe" that kind of question. He came right back with "DON'T ever say that again". If you ever heard Him you know .. the words He speak just.. explode. Well I also knew in what He said. He gives everyone a free choice. They have to make it. He can never go against our will.

 

[Shrewd Manager]

I accept the Seven Ecumenical Councils as binding upon me.

My problem here is that the evidence of the 5th Council suggests that the Church's authority was compromised by that stage, and one can infer that subsequent Councils became increasingly just puppet shows for the worldly power, which is of the devil.

Forgive my disrespect, but iconolatry for example is hard to defend, I've read some of the proceedings of that 7th Council. Also the enthusiasm of condemnation, including of the dead (and not just specific teachings) is a bit rich, especially for the likes of Origen, who arguably contributed more to the faith than anyone (the Hexapla was just the tip of the iceberg). The Cappadochians left Nicea discouraged by the then shambolic state of the faith.

Why was infernalism never questioned by these Councils? It's an eschatology that's much harder to make a scriptural case for than universalism. And its foreseeable consequences, whether spiritual, temporal, theological or moral - are heinous.

No brother, the Ecumenical Councils have let us down. They have failed to uphold the scriptures and the power of God in essential respects, and therefore they have not been good shepherds, imho.

A major historical proof for this is that God turned away from Rome and Constantinople, allowing the events that caused the Schism to occur. Those who judge others with hell and death reap as they sow.

 

[Shrewd Manager]

They have to make it. He can never go against our will.

So the dead can give themselves life now?

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

"Not Everyone Who Says To Me, 'Lord, Lord,' Shall Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

[Jord Simcha]

You assume I don't have the Holy Spirit.

I did not say that.

I answered your question and you didn't like it - that's it.

Oh really? Now you are projecting unto me, I see.

Look at how Jesus Christ answered the questions brought to Him by the Pharisees. He did not give them a plain "yes or no" either.

Are you going to talk in parables soon?

This is the point of testing the spirits and being careful giving an answer.

It is not. The point of testing the spirits is to not follow the wrong people.

That is what Jesus Christ exercised in those moments and more so.

Not at all. Jesus didn't have to try any spirit nor did he have to find truth.

Like I said, it is our responsibility as believers to test the spirits rather than assume.

Yes. Y'all should be trying my spirit, since I am the OP, to see if you should take my points and position to heart or not.

Otherwise you could be making a mistake by not doing this very thing and assuming a believer to be false when that might not be the case.

If I assume a believer to be false who is actually a true believer this will dawn on me pretty quickly. Within two or three posts I'd say. All believers are greater than John the Baptist (see Matthew 11:11). They stand out.

You don't know people like God does.

Right. But I judge all things. I got that from God. He says so.

He sees more than we ever can.

True, but He reveals.

There is a place for discernment - yes, but to use it correctly and humbly. Test the spirits and the spirits themselves will be revealed in this way.

I have gotten so used to having great discernment (sorry, not boasting, because I got it from the Lord) that it doesn't take me a long time (any more). As a seeker, sure, as a babe in Christ also, I had to be very cautious to not follow the wrong people. Nowadays I don't any more, because I only follow Jesus Christ anyway, and like I said, my discernment is great, as 1 Corinthians 2:15 indicates it should be.

Peace

Right back at ya.

 

[Jord Simcha]

He can never go against our will.

Do you have a verse that you base this on?

I would say by the way, if He can't go against my will, that He won't send it anybody to hell.

 

[Strong in Him]

Not a chance I'll be satisfied with that. Especially not with what I've come to believe.

I don't think any of us will know what we'll be satisfied with at that point - our bodies, old lives and old selves will be dead. We'll be changed, no longer on earth with earthly thoughts, concerns etc but understanding all things.
How do any of us know that we'll think about people that we knew while on earth and feel worried/upset/dissatisfied about the state of their soul and final destination? We are trying to think about such things now, with our earthly, finite minds - how do we know what, and how, we'll think when the dark glass has gone and we see face to face, 1 Corinthians 13:12?

Rather because they don't deserve eternal punishment.

The wages of sin is death.
We ALL deserve eternal punishment from God for disobeying, and sinning against, him. Even people who are "good" people and have lived decent lives.
Adam and Eve had a perfect relationship with their Maker, and a beautiful world to enjoy. They were asked not to do ONE thing, and they disobeyed. As a result of that, sin, death and decay came into the world, and their relationship with God was spoilt.
In his love, mercy and grace God did not leave things like that. Even in the garden he promised that one day one of Eve's descendants would crush the devil's head - and eventually he sent Jesus, who did just that and gives eternal life, forgiveness and reconciliation with God to all who believe and accept him.

Well that's I mean: it makes a lot more sense based on the scriptures. No tears, sorrow, death, all things new, God being all in all, all things reconciled to God, great joy to all people.

Except that that does not agree with other Scriptures which teach eternal punishment, and that anyone who doesn't believe will perish. Nowhere does it say "no need to receive God now, you can repent after you die". Or "yes, you've led an evil life now, and when you die you will perish for a short time. But eventually you'll be with God in heaven."

The continued warnings I'm sure are there for a reason. Not just to get saved. God demands perfection of us.

So God DEMANDS perfection of us now, even though we'll never achieve it, and whether someone is 5% perfect or 99% perfect when they die, they go to be with him anyway?
Why would anyone bust a gut trying to be perfect in this life if, when they die, God is still going to take them to heaven anyway? How unreasonable of God to demand something that we're never going to be able to achieve and then, one day, we'll end up in the same place as all the murderers, infidels and people who didn't even try to achieve it.
That reminds me of my brother at university; no way was he going to work all hours to try and get a 1st class degree. He knew that he could do less work, have time for fun, pub crawls etc and still get a 2:1, which is still a very good degree. He and his fiancée (now wife, who got a first,) both ended up with the same thing - a degree.

Sure you would. Those who preach heresy tend not to be saved.

If they are deliberately preaching something that they know is a lie; maybe.
But what of someone who interprets the Scriptures differently?
Like it or not, Universalism is an unorthodox Christian belief (see CF statement of faith). It may be discussed only in this Controversial Christian Theology forum and is not a belief of mainstream churches. But I, for one, am not going to say that anyone who is unorthodox in their Christian beliefs is not saved. Some people do say such things - as in, "if you don't go to this church, use this translation of Scripture or believe this doctrine you are not saved." I have had that said to me. They decided to judge me and my salvation and concluded that I am still unsaved - they were wrong.
You could make a judgement that someone who does not go to church, works on a Sunday, or a number of other things is not saved; you could be very wrong. Although apparently both saved and unsaved are eventually going to be in heaven - so I guess it makes no difference what anyone believes.

They aren't lead into all truth yet by the Spirit right after their conversion so they might still be unsound in their doctrine but on the other hand are from the beginning eager to preach, or at least share their testimony.

What does it matter if anyone has unsound doctrine now, or even a different faith; if they are going to be saved anyway?

I realize that. But what I have heard from a preacher (I don't remember which one so I can't vouch for him) is that in Jesus' time marriage was a lot different. Hardly anybody married in freedom, but was given in marriage, in particular the women. Maybe that'll be done away with, not true love, I hope.

It doesn't really matter how marriage was back then; Jesus said there's no marriage in heaven.

I'm speaking about my own (eternal) life and how I want to live. And that is with a woman, in loving harmony forever.

Til death do you part.
Widows and widowers are at perfect liberty to marry again, without breaking their first vows. A woman who married young could have 3 husbands during her life - quite legally and respectably if they were all ill and died/were killed.
The Sadducees asked Jesus this question; a woman married 7 times after her various husbands died; whose wife will she be in heaven? Jesus replied that there is no marriage in heaven, Mark 12:18-27.

I'm happier now living a relatively godly life than when I lived still ungodly, so, no thanks, that isn't the best of both worlds to me.

I wasn't referring to you; I was thinking of an unbeliever who might say "so I can have fun with my friends now, not go to church or read my Bible and still be in heaven?"
I have heard people who've said, "I'll think about becoming a Christian later", or "you have to give up loads of stuff when you become a Christian, I don't want that - yet". Generally, the Christian's response is "come to Christ now; you don't know how much time you have left", or "repent and believe now; if you put it off, you may not do it at all and one day it'll be too late." There is a Scripture which says "seek the Lord while he may be found", and another which says "NOW is the day of salvation."
I have never heard any preacher or evangelist say to people, "you don't want to respond to the Gospel? That's cool; you'll be saved one day", or "you don't believe in God? Don't worry; wait until you meet him and can see him, then you'll believe and be able to repent."

Sure. I used to find it hard to test preachers, paid real close attention to every thing they said and believed. I was also scared to judge them, because what if I thought they weren't born again when in fact they were,

You can judge - discern - by their words whether or not they are preaching Scripture; you cannot judge whether or not they have really heard the Good News, believe that God loves them and accepted him as both Saviour and Lord.

When I was a teenager I had been going to church for some years and had a reasonable knowledge of Scripture. But I didn't believe God loved me; I was still scared of him and trying to earn his approval. I accepted him many times, tried to serve him and wanted to believe in his love. Was I saved? Some would say "no", others would say "yes, but you weren't living it".
John Wesley, when an ordained vicar, used to have a book in which he wrote all his sins, and tried harder and harder to live a Godly life. Then, in 1738 (on 24th May) he had an experience of God which he described as having his heart "strangely warmed". After that, he truly believed that he was a son of God, that Jesus died for him - and his preaching ministry took off big time. His brother had had a similar experience a few days before, and wrote the first of thousands of hymns. Were they saved when they were clergymen, serving Jesus and teaching the faith but mostly in their own strength, without knowing him? Some would say "No, they were converted only on that day", others would say "of course they were - they just received baptism in/an anointing of the Holy Spirit."

No one can judge if someone else is saved, because we don't know people's hearts - and also have different ideas about "being saved". How would you judged whether someone with Down's Syndrome/brain damage/severe mental illness is saved? You have no idea about their prayers, their heart and their faith.

It is indeed not believe what you like, and hate God as much as you like, but the last part is true. You're going to live eternally and you're going to like it.

I'm going to live eternally, yes.
A person who rejects God, continues to reject God and says they hate him; may not.
Otherwise there'd be no point in preaching the Gospel.
"You hate God and don't want to live forever? No problem; he'll get you one day and you can't do anything about it."
"You have no intention of going to heaven to be with God forever? Tough. You could murder all your Christian neighbours and burn down the church; you're still going. "
"You're not going to let anyone drag you kicking and screaming into church? Well God's going to drag you kicking and screaming into heaven, so you might as well get used to it."
