Absolutely. They are created by God and He forgives and calls us to also. A change, repentance must be a part of the reconciliation process. This isn't a ' gee I am sorry, ' but genuine change of heart and a new understanding in learning from the damage caused by rebellion. In essence, this is...

Grace is a free gift as well, and because God is full of Grace, there is no deadline. However recompense is accomplished, it is not as clear as any of us might like, or might like to spin it. There are a lot of grey areas. But one thing is for sure, God ' is not willing any perish' . ..but is...

Thank you for the great info. you shared. :)

Some of the greatest Patristic Christian leaders were supporters of ancient universalism. Not the modern form that is taught by many cults. I recommend a new book for those interested in the topic.. Patristic Universalism

Reforming Hell : A Biblical Defense for Universalism - YouTube

The passages that warn to hate parents, are never taken literally. Human reason understands the hyperbolic nature of this passage. However, people lose some sense of reason while reading other passages like Matt 25:46. In my opinion, the reason it is so easily acceptable is it makes people feel...
