It is not a cop out to refuse to allow someone to drag you on a wild goose chase hoping they will trip so you can snare them. I know what you were up to and refused to participate.
Wild goose chase?? what are you affraid of? You said you know the difference and then you could not answer the question.
You have yet to prove it IS a heresy, so implying those who believe in it are "heretics" by equating it AS such is both poisoning the well and attacking the characters of ALL who believe in eternal Hell.
Amen. The proof is 2 Peter 2:1. Can you read???
If you can prove it IS a heresy then I have no problem with being considered a heretic in that respect but you have NOT done so.
These are not my words.
2 Peter 2
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
I never said that CU is heresy, unlike you I don't toss that word around attacking those who do not agree with me by insinuation.
Prove to me I am preaching here in this current exchange. I have not mentioned Hell or universalism it all started when I was asking you regarding you insisting those who disagreed with you were "less" spiritual, holy, etc than you are.
I did not toss any word around. I quoted scripture.
I have been trying to discuss here about being spiritual. I believe the reason many who do not understand CU is because they look at God's Word from the angle of the letter that killeth. Is this not a valid scriptural truth.
The Spirit quicken
the letter killeth
I have had many Christians reject that which is spirutal and replace it with religious logic. (Eph. 6:17). The sword of Gods word is "QUICK." Quick means living and active LIFE-GIVING! "For the word of God that speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb. 4:12, Amplified).
　"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing
for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life!" (Jn. 6:63; II Cor. 3:6). The sword of the Spirit is the quickening, energizing, life-giving WORD OF GOD! There are two aspects of the word of God. Jesus Christ is the Word the Logos THE LIVING, CREATIVE WORD! But there is also that word which Paul calls
"the letter." The letter is the outer hull, the record and history, the laws and commandments, the rules and regulations, the types, shadows and figures, the external ordinances, rituals, ceremonies, and feasts; the visible form of the word which tells us, in terms understandable by the natural mind, many things about the Living Word, Jesus Christ.　
It should be clear to any thinking mind that the law given by Moses was a word from God. Many, many scriptures confirm that it was the very Lord Himself who spoke to Moses giving him the laws, commandments, judgments, and ordinances. Therefore it is called "the law of the Lord."
Yet Paul, in speaking of this word from God, calls it "the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones." Then he further designates it "the ministration of condemnation." You, see, the law could only condemn! The only way the law could give life was if one perfectly kept it, but for every broken law there was a penalty. And no one was ever able to keep it! "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Therefore the law with all of its commandments, ceremonies, rituals, sacrifices, and observances is a dead word, it is form without essence, law without life, shadow without substance, chaff without kernel, it is the letter that killeth! It is "a word" about "The Word" and therefore shuts men up unto the dominion of death. It should not be difficult to understand that as Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God, the sword of the Spirit that quickens, so is the Letter of the Word a deadly sword, killing rather than quickening. Ah, two words and two swords!
