Call Me Laz

[Lazarus Short]

About me:
raised a Baptist
ex-Athiest
ex-Randian
ex-Libertarian
ex-SDA
ex-Damnationist

I'm now a Christian Universalist (not a UU), a "Tentie," a No-Heller. I'm finishing up a book-length manuscript reviewing the KJV and weighing the evidence for the existence of Hell. I found none. The KJV is a good translation except for the Hell thing and the way it treats the name of God. I agree with Solomon - in the preparation of books there is much weariness!

Hi Laz! Welcome to Christian Forums! I'm not very familiar with Christian Universalism. Does that essentially mean you believe in Jesus, His resurrection, etc., but not hell?

Depending on your beliefs (whether you agree with the Nicene Creed, which you can find at the Statement of Faith section here: http://www.christianforums.com/help/rules/), you should check out the Controversial Theology forum (http://www.christianforums.com/thre...istian-theology-statement-of-purpose.7878699/). It's for people who are Christians, but don't believe the Nicene creed. Otherwise, if you do believe in the Nicene Creed, check out General Theology as well.

Enjoy your time here at CF!

A note - it might be interesting to have a discussion on the various views of Christians on the nature of Hell and what it entails.

Hello and welcome.

Well, generally, yes, the usual doctrinal things are there except we believe that God is both willing and able to save everyone because He is sovereign. If anyone is still dead and/or in Hell, how can God become All in all? But He does. That is how I like to explain it, but I suppose others would explain it differently.

Thanks for explaining!

Hi; good to see you; God bless His Word to you. A daily Bible reading habit is an excellent way to learn more about God and the love of the Lord Jesus for sinners.
