Thank you, Chaela, for that honest answer. I don't think God has made the Bible as cleverly designed Rorshach test, but you are right that it is interpreted in many, many different ways.Well, I originally wasn't looking to be convinced of it and I don't even think I knew at the time that it was a thing. But what started that ball rolling for me was a verse that I'd seen hundreds of times before jumping out at me in a way I couldn't just ignore that time around, 1 Corinthians 15:22. It was the launch-pad that sent me reading up on universal redemption and becoming a believer in it.
Just like any speculation on anything dealing with our post-mortem situation, however, it's not something I can prove beyond faith.
The more I've debated others about it, the more convinced I've become that the bible is a cleverly-designed Rorschach test. Different types of salvation can be read into it, and though I see it clearly promising universal redemption, the next guy will see it clearly promising limited redemption. Years and years and years of debating this has brought me to that conclusion.
At this point, it would be like arguing with someone over an ink-blot test.
