Will they know Jesus died for them and offers them eternal life by 10 out of 10 people only feeding them? Someone must use their mouth to communicate this truth. Word and deed, deed and word.

"Preach the gospel always. If necessary, use words." Thank you St. Augustine.
Airo...God needs man to relay grace?
Nice! You can take time to find the links but not to answer the questions.
tulc(never knew he asked such hard questions)
Do you not agree with your own link? Because you seem to feel holding this position (even in ignorance) disqualifies you from being a Christian and he (albeit with a certain palpable disdain) admits it's possible to be a Christian and a universalist. .Also, I would say that a universalist who openly and knowingly affirms universal salvation after having been clearly taught the truth in scripture, and yet continues to hold to a "second chance" doctrine (as some do), and/or punishment in the afterlife for a duration of time and then salvation occurs, is not a Christian. It is these issues that are so serious as to deny justification by faith. But, let me say it one more time, I believe that there can be ignorant people who erringly hold to universalism, who have not thought universalism's position through properly, and have not been properly exposed to the true teachings of the Bible, who can be saved. I believe it is "possible" for them to be saved in spite of their inconsistency. That is my position (emph. added)
hmmm

tulc(who actually isn't a universalist but doesn't believe what he believes is "GODS OWN TRUTH!!" (tm))
If you are a professed Christian who believes there is more than one path, I plead with you to study the Bible for yourself and repent from this heresy.

Ok so really this is more of a blog thread then a discussion thread?
tulc(is fine with that if that's the goal)
Yeah. Looks like a hit & run.

Do you have a question?
Sure, do you feel yours is the only correct understanding of what it means to be a Christian?
tulc(likes coexisting with different types of Christians as well as non-believers)
airō;54964336 said:It doesn't matter what I feel or what you feel, it only matters what is true and God has the monopoly on that. God says you must be born again. This regeneration comes through repentance and faith in His Son Jesus Christ, Who, having been born from a virgin and having lived a perfect life, atoned for the sins of the world once and for all, and Whose body was physically resurrected 3 days later. All who realize they are a lost sinner in desperate need of a Savior, who believe in Him, His finished work on the cross, confess Him Lord, deny themselves, and follow after Him will be saved. This is what it means to believe.
John MacArthur explains it well:
I agree with airo. The Coexist thing is another way of deceiving people, its all part of the "new age" love, anything goes, doctrine.
