30+ Bible verses that support universal salvation

[Saint Steven]

Keep what you want. But eternal punishment is forever and is the lot of all except a few elect in Christ.

So, you are claiming that God created countless billions with the intent of burning them alive forever with no hope of escape. Most of whom would have no idea why they were there.

He created all for his glory. Sin against an infinite creator deserves infinite punishment and reveals his justice.

 

[Saint Steven]

The entire world will be saved in the New Heavens and Earth. But most in this world will suffer God's wrath forever.

Ephesians 1:7-10
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

Dear Dave: Your advanced course in return to Abba University will produce a wonderful outcome from aionios punishment to Aidios correction.

The Father does not infict mindless correction

God is holy.

“Holy is the Lord of hosts.” Isa. 6:3.

A holy God could not build a prison, dedicate it to every vile and hateful passion, and then crowd it with beings of his own workmanship.

A god of depravity where sinners suffer for ever and ever might do so.

Not the Father of all fathers!

God is merciful.

“But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” Ps. 86:15.

It is simply impossible for Abba to torment His own offspring or anyone!

You are making a god of your liking from scripture. And rejecting the God of scripture.

Only those in Christ. Not those in the Devil.

 

[Saint Steven]

He created all for his glory. Sin against an infinite creator deserves infinite punishment and reveals his justice.

Why does sin against an infinite creator deserves infinite punishment?
Why doesn't sin committed by a finite person deserve finite punishment?

Especially when it was the intention of the infinite creator that we should fail.

 

[Saint Steven]

Only those in Christ. Not those in the Devil.

Romans 11:32
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

God is good. He would not be good if he didn't punish sin according to what it merits.

What does sin merit, punishment or forgiveness?

Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

 

[Saint Steven]

Lop sided.

I quoted the Bible.

For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

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):


1. Luke 2:10
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Thanks for this great topic, Jord.

Damnationism says, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for SOME of the people." (the select few)
The Bible says, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people."

 

[Saint Steven]

2. Luke 2:30-31
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

Damnationism says, "For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of SOME nations"
The Bible says, "For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations"

Luke 2:30-31
For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:

 

[Saint Steven]

3. 1 Timothy 2:3-4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Damnationism says, "God... wants SOME people to be saved..."
The Bible says, "God... wants all people to be saved..."

1 Timothy 2:3-4
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

 

[Saint Steven]

7. 1 Timothy 4:10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

God is the Savior of all people. AND especially of those who believe.
What does this say about those who are not currently believers?
Will they be saved? Well, God is the Savior of all people. All = ALL (not some)

1 Timothy 4:10
That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God,
who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

A holy God could not build a prison, dedicate it to every vile and hateful passion, and then crowd it with beings of his own workmanship.

This is nothing more than your opinion. It’s not fact.

It would be unjust to inflict unending punishment for the sins of a few days

And we’re going right back to the same exact untrust that I mentioned in my previous post.

 

[BNR32FAN]

Common sense says that the Damnationist claims about God are wrong.
But Damnationists have been brainwashed to believe them.

Even you see nothing wrong with a father locking his children in an oven and burning the house down, if that father was God. Why would that make it okay?

What if that father could see into the future and see that these children would never truly repent. What if that father saw that these children loved satan and would never love him? What if there’s a perfectly good reason why God has decided for it to be this way. These are the things you’re overlooking. God knows the outcome and He will save all that He can but evidently for some reason He can’t save all. I can only speculate as to why, no one knows for certain.

 

[FineLinen]

And we’re going right back to the same exact untrust that I mentioned in my previous post.

There is no such animal as "untrust"!

There is trust and no trust, or limited trust.

Do not be among those who limit the UN (limited) One!

Dear Dave:

God is the Father of all mankind.

“Have we not all one Father?” Mal. 2:10.

" One is your Father which is in Heaven.” Matt. 23:9.

Is there a human parent who would torment his offspring?

Is our heavenly Abba less kind than earthly fathers are?

God is unchangeable.

“He is in one mind, and who can turn him?” Job 23:13.

Therefore He always will be what He is now: omniscient, all-knowing, omnipotent, omni-present, infinitely good, holy, merciful, just, and the universal Father.

Our Father is not a partial Father, what He is now He will forever be!

Why are we glad that God is Almighty?

Because He is Almighty Goodness.

Why are we delighted that His understanding is infinite?

Because it is the understanding of Infinite Love.

Why are we pleased when we hear that God is Unchangeable?

Because it brings to our view a benevolence which will never vary.

Why do we rejoice that He is just?

Because we hence learn that the energy of Love will never cease to maintain and defend every thing that is right, and to oppose every thing that is wrong.

God is the Owner and Proprietor of all men.

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine.” Ezek. 18:4.

God is too wise and good to give any to the devil, and He has too much power to have any forced out of his hands.

As all men now belong to God they always will.
