What is ECFWould you please quote the specific ECF writing that claims Jesus and the Apostles misspoke and everyone will ultimately spend eternity in Heaven.
ECF = Early Church Fathers, the earliest recorded information we have about the church after the N.T. period.What is ECF
Ok thanksECF = Early Church Fathers, the earliest recorded information we have about the church after the N.T. period.
Who said they misspokeWhat is ECF
Amen.Matthew 25:46 suggests otherwise. "eternal life" or "eternal punishment" with the same "eternal" for both and the same "eternal life" as all of the other places that Jesus promised it. Accept or discard it all ... it is the same phrase.
REPENT'ANCE, nounRepent meaning recognizing a person is a sinner, not turning from sins. Because the first is faith alone salvation, which is true. While the latter is works salvation, which is false.
Romans 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
You said they misspoke (see below). I was merely responding to your “appeal to authority” (quoted again below):Who said they misspoke
that was not true for the first 300 years of the church. Have you ever read the writings of the early church Fathers UR was the major belief .
here are some websites that have some of what I was referring to; salvationforall.org-history/2-catecheticalschools bereanpatriot.com/early fathers on universal redemption forbiddentheology.com and tentmaker.org these are a good place to start.You said they misspoke (see below). I was merely responding to your “appeal to authority” (quoted again below):
by requesting that you point out specifically where the “early church Fathers” teach ”UR” was their belief … so I can read it for myself.
I take this to mean you cannot answer atpollard's request, "point out specifically where the 'early church Fathers' teach 'UR' was their belief." Inquiring minds want to know.here are some websites that have some of what I was referring to; salvationforall.org-history/2-catecheticalschools bereanpatriot.com/early fathers on universal redemption forbiddentheology.com and tentmaker.org these are a good place to start.
I can type it all out but the best way is to go to forbiddentheology.com website then go into articles and go to the page quotes by early church fathers on universalism. thats a good starting place. other websites that also have good information are salvationforall.org /bereanpatriot.com / also tentmaker.orgYou said they misspoke (see below).

I went to this link and I found supposed quotes from 21 early church fathers. I did NOT see even one document properly identified. And out of the 21, I only found one vs. of scripture."

That ain't what Jesus said.There will be no Eternal fire for the ungodly simmers. For all whose names are not found in the Book of Life.
They will be annihilated and they will be erased from human memory; remembered no more.

Does anyone in UR-land know how to properly cite a source?
Here is what Jeremiah 18:6 actually says.
Jeremiah 18:6-10
(6) O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
(7) At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
(8) If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
(9) And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
(10) If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Oh, so you're going to play the victim card? Put yourself in my shoes. What would be your reaction if I claimed to quote 21 historical sources supporting a point I was making without naming the specific writing I was supposedly quoting? How much consideration would you give to those virtually anonymous sources? I don't have to guess, no, zero, none. To say nothing about one of those "sources" misquoted Jeremiah.I am sorry for not doing things that the the world says should be done.
its like this, how do they teach bankers how to spot a fake bill ? do they teach them every way a counterfeit bill can be made and how its made ? No they are taught to know what a real bill is so then when a counterfeit bill comes along they know its not the real thing, its not important how the counterfeit was made , what type of ink or paper , its only important that they know its counterfeit. Its the same with our understanding of Yahwey we are to know him so well when a counterfeit comes along we know its not the real thing, its not important to know how the counterfeit was made only that its not the real deal. So until you know the real thing you can't spot the counterfeit, The western tradition handed down from Augustine, Constantine, Justinian, of who God is has some counterfeit bills that many think are real but they are not. So if you quote some source, that doesn't have what the world says you must have, because I am trying to know the real deal it either is true or false by how does it stack up with my understanding of the real. I don't need the worlds system to tell me if its real or counterfeit , that's the Holy Spirits job.Oh, so you're going to play the victim card? Put yourself in my shoes.

Eusebius of Caesarea supposedly quoted Jeremiah 18:6 says: i.e., to restore them once again to their former state.” I can't find those words anywhere in the O.T.
I have omitted about half of your post since it does not address anything I posted. For about 25 years I was employed by DOD I taught classes and conducted inspections which included recognizing counterfeit currency.* * * The western tradition handed down from Augustine, Constantine, Justinian, of who God is has some counterfeit bills that many think are real but they are not.

I am not going to rehash the same thing over and over, if you can't see it maybe its something you are not ready for. It has been spelled out many times on this forum, maybe what you believe is what you need , for myself I have tasted and seen that the Lord is good and some of what the west believes is counterfeit.I have omitted about half of your post since it does not address anything I posted.

A little personal anecdote in the '80s I was working as a security specialist in a military commissary in Korea. I was paged to the manager's office over the intercom. When I reached the door the manager was holding a $500 bill in his hand about 6 feet from me. I glanced at it and immediately said, "It is counterfeit." The serial number was the wrong color ink.
More of that same ol' irrelevant, meaningless cop-out mantra about Augustine, Constantine, Justinian etc. I very rarely quote ECF and NEVER if they aren't quoting scripture. Please see my post #73 above and show me where anything I posted could be attributed to Augustine, Constantine, Justinian etc? I won't hold my breath. I have posted those vss. multiple times. Never addressed and most certainly never refuted.
Now that is the numero uno cop-out of all cop-outs.I am not going to rehash the same thing over and over, if you can't see it maybe its something you are not ready for. It has been spelled out many times on this forum, maybe what you believe is what you need , for myself I have tasted and seen that the Lord is good and some of what the west believes is counterfeit.
