30+ Bible verses that support universal salvation

[BNR32FAN]

Nope, you're putting words in my mouth.

Ok so either your saying everyone will enter heaven or they won’t, so which is it? At this point it almost seems like your crawfishing.

 

[Kenny'sID]

There is no such animal as Aidios kolasis: NONE!

I'll await an answer to my question.

 

[FineLinen]

There is no such thing as eternal for a while.

Eternal is eternal.

Aidios is eternal and is applied only twice in Scripture to the Aidios One!

 

[Kenny'sID]

For a while referred to assuming. Bruh. Your reading comprehension skills.

I'm not going to assume something that doesn't work, works...it's silly to do so.

 

[Saint Steven]

Ok so either your saying everyone will enter heaven or they won’t, so which is it? At this point it almost seems like your crawfishing.

That's a loaded question. You are assuming that our eternal destiny is decided in this lifetime.

 

[Jord Simcha]

You replied too quickly to have actually read these scriptures. (and definition)

Question: Who is included in "every knee" and "every tongue" in heaven and on earth and under the earth?

Philippians 2:10-11
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says,
“Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:9
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that
he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Note on "acknowledge" in Philippians 2:11 from Strong's Concordance
S1843 eksomologéō (from 1537 /ek, "wholly out from," intensifying 3670 /homologéō, "say the same thing about") – properly, fully agree and to acknowledge that agreement openly (whole-heartedly); hence, to confess ("openly declare"), without reservation (no holding back).

Every is not every, all is not all, people is nation, God is not God, love is not love, grace abounds no more than sin, world is not world...

but eternal is eternal!!! and punishment punishment. Says it right there. In plain English.

This thread is getting downright funny.

That's a loaded question. You are assuming that our eternal destiny is decided in this lifetime.

You big gigantic silly: are you not aware the steadfast love of the Lord has a time factor imbedded into it?

 

[BNR32FAN]

I think you are misunderstanding the scope and thrust of that scripture. Jesus is not hanging our eternal destiny on words spoken without enough conviction behind them. You are grasping at straws.

He just finished saying like 5 seconds ago,
“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NASB‬‬

 

[FineLinen]

This thread is getting downright funny.

Do not laugh with too much gusto.

"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."

 

[Saint Steven]

You big gigantic silly: are you not aware the steadfast love of the Lord has a time factor imbedded into it?

Like a spiritual time bomb. - lol

What is it that our buddy @martymonster says?
God's mercy doesn't expire when you do.

 

[Saint Steven]

He just finished saying like 5 seconds ago,
“For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Does that mean that the way to heaven is a puzzle that the vast majority will never be able to solve?
What are the consequences of not solving that puzzle?
Does that sound like grace to you?

 

[BNR32FAN]

That's a loaded question. You are assuming that our eternal destiny is decided in this lifetime.

No, time is not even a factor in this question. Will everyone enter heaven yes or no? We all know that your answer is yes which contradicts the statement that not everyone will enter.

 

[Saint Steven]

No, time is not even a factor in this question. Will everyone enter heaven yes or no? We all know that your answer is yes which contradicts the statement that not everyone will enter.

You are still misunderstanding your Damnationist "proof-text" apologetic scripture.
Jesus is not hanging our eternal destiny on words spoken without enough conviction behind them. You are grasping at straws. So yes, a loaded question. It reminds me of this one.

Answer "yes" or "no".
Have you stopped beating your wife?

 

[BNR32FAN]

Does that mean that the way to heaven is a puzzle that the vast majority will never be able to solve?
What are the consequences of not solving that puzzle?
Does that sound like grace to you?

Not that they won’t be able to, they don’t want to.

 

[FineLinen]

Not that they won’t be able to, they don’t want to.

I know a man who hated everyone who walked in the Way. At every opportunity he saw fit to murder them. The rascal was not interested in becoming a part in the slightest.

But God!

His name = the Apostle Paul.

I have to, again, that is not biblical. Give me reason not to laugh.

 

[FineLinen]

This is not Biblical? Please tell me you are jesting.

Yes! In this life NOT after being punished in the LOF.

 

[Jesus is YHWH]

Aidios is eternal and is applied only twice in Scripture to the Aidios One!

Nice twist but Jesus makes it clear Eternal ( αἰώνιον ) punishment is the same as eternal ( αἰώνιον ) life below. Both have never ending consequences and rewards for the saved and the lost. The Eternal (αἰώνιον) fire never ends as well.

Matt 25:41,46
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

46"These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."


Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 166: αἰώνιος

αἰώνιος, - without end, never to cease, everlasting: 2 Corinthians 4:18 (opposed to πρόσκαιρος); αἰώνιον αὐτόν, joined to thee forever as a sharer of the same eternal life, Philcmon 1:15; βάρος δόξης, 2 Corinthians 4:17; βασιλεία, 2 Peter 1:11; δόξα, 2 Timothy 2:10; 1 Peter 5:10; ζωή (see ζωή, 2 b.); κληρονομία, Hebrews 9:15; λύτρωσις, Hebrews 9:12; παράκλησις, 2 Thessalonians 2:16; σκηναί, abodes to be occupied forever, Luke 16:9 (the habitations of the blessed in heaven are referred to, cf. John 14:2 (also,dabo eis tabernacula aeterna, quae praeparaveram illis, 4 Esdras (Fritzsche, 5 Esdr.) []); similarly Hades is called αἰώνιος τόπος, Tobit 3:6, cf. Ecclesiastes 12:5); σωτηρία, Hebrews 5:9; (so Mark 16 (WH) in the (rejected) 'Shorter Conclusion'). Opposite ideas are: κόλασις, Matthew 25:46;

Word games over and Jesus refutes the false doctrine of universalism in just one passage. And above we see that the lexicons use Matt 25 to mean never ending punishment for the wicked.

hope this helps !!!
