I apologize if this is a dumb question, and maybe even getting really simle answers wil help me to understand better, but as a person who was always pretty much a rank and file agnostic, one of my main challenges I faceed when I became a follower of Christ was dealing with the exclusionary model of Christianity.
That said, I realize (perhaps naively so) that the idea of having such thoughts makes me either a heretic or a lunatic depening on who you ask. I also can see where many denominations and religious sects would essentially lose their main reasoning and arguments for why they are how they are. Perhaps it has too much of the idea of religious socialism and therefore negates any real scrutiny?
I guess I am just trying to find out why the idea of universal salvation is considered a bad one. I would think it would be a great thing, but my thoughts on most religious items (faith, the bible, etc.) are not really mainstream though either (hence why I am in here ). Any thoughts or ideas or even research suggestions are great. Thanks!
