Actually, i have Early Church Fathers who believed in universalism. Also more modern day scholars who support my viewpoints &/or universalism. Even those scholars who don't support universalism often say things that are favorable to my viewpoints on various topics related to eventual universal reconciliation. Most importantly, i have the Scriptures which teach thtat all will be saved through Jesus Christ & Him crucified.
Some scripture is distorted to make it appear that everyone will be saved no matter what.
If you think some ECF support Universalism quote it here. The only one I know of is Origen and his writings are ambivalent on this.
Origen [a.d. 185-230-254.] Against Celsus. Book V Chap. XVI.
The Scripture accordingly declares that only those who are unscathed by the fire and the punishments are to remain, - those, viz., whose opinions, and morals, and mind have been purified to the highest degree; while, on the other hand, those of a different nature - those, viz., who, according to their deserts, require the administration of punishment by fire - will be involved in these sufferings with a view to an end which it is suitable for God to bring upon those who have been created in His image, but who have lived in opposition to the will of that nature which is according to His image. And this is our answer to the statement, “All the rest of the race will be completely burnt up, but they alone are to remain.”
Origen Against Celsus. Book VIII. Chap. LII.
Let all men, therefore, when they look upon the universe, observe the constant revolution of the unerring stars, the converse motion of the planets, the constitution of the atmosphere, and its adaptation to the necessities of the animals, and especially of man, with all the innumerable contrivances for the well-being of mankind; and then, after thus considering the order of the universe, let them beware of doing ought which is displeasing to the Creator of this universe, of the soul and its intelligent principle; and let them rest assured that punishment shall be inflicted on the wicked, and rewards shall be bestowed upon the righteous, by Him who deals with every one as he deserves, and who will proportion His rewards to the good that each has done, and to the account of himself that he is able to give. And let all men know that the good shall be advanced to a higher state, and that the wicked shall be delivered over to sufferings and torments, in punishment of their licentiousness and depravity, their cowardice, timidity, and all their follies.
Origen De Principiis. Book IV. Chap. I
23. For perhaps as those who, departing this world in virtue of that death which is common to all, are arranged, in conformity with their actions and deserts - according as they shall be deemed worthy - some in the place which is called “hell,” others in the bosom of Abraham, and in different localities or mansions; so also from those places, as if dying there, if the expression can be used, do they come down from the “upper world” to this “ hell.” For that “ hell” to which the souls of the dead are conducted from this world, is, I believe, on account of this distinction, called the “lower hell” by Scripture, as is said in the book of Psalms: “Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell” (Cf. Psa_30:3 and Deu_32:22)
Of course i don't have many learned men and scholars i can refer to in favour of my position during the 1000-1500 years of the darkness of the Dark & Middle ages, Inquisitions, Crusades, burnings & torturings of so-called "heretics" by the "church". That is, the "church" that supported the doctrine you also support, namely that Love Omnipotent will send the unrepentant wicked to endless conscious torments.
It is not me who says that God and Jesus will send the unrepentant to endless conscious torment, it is scripture.
If you were living back then you could have argued that all the scholars were on the side of the "church". How objective do you think those scholars were? Could they resist the truths presented by the Protestants? How objective or biased are scholars today? Publishing books can make them a lot of money.
I have never said all scholars believed anything at any time.
That 1000-1500 years gave the "church" many years to destroy, adulterate, rewrite & burn any writings or any thing that disagreed with its dogmas.
And God lied when He said this?
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
At what age do the young qualify for this monstrous destiny in your theology? Does it include babies as the Calvinist Calvin stated? Or do they have to be a bit older to qualify for such sadism? Say 4, 6, 10 years old? Young, middle or older teenage years?
Romans 4:15
(15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans 5:13
(13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Most of the bibliography is dated back around 1900. How easy is it to find such items & read them? Most are also written in foreign languages? Did you read those? So how would you rate the usefulness of the bibliography. On a scale of 0 to 10, about a zero? Do you think there might have been something written on the subject that's a bit more recent than 120 years old?
If you have credible, verifiable, historical evidence relating to what I have posted please feel free to post it. Being old does not in and of itself disqualify a source
What i recall is comparing it to your posts which i often find contain untruths, myths and fairy tales.....
Nonsense!
