The Restitution Of All Things A.K.A. Universalism

[ClementofA]

Dan.4:33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were g
rown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34a But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him...
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or
say to Him, 'What have You done?'
36 At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished
in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

Dear Clement" A tape recorder cannot enjoy spouting of Bible verses, he-man does. The assumption is that a few broken sinners our Father will save, rectify, & make righteous. Thank God Almighty, the mass made sinners, is the mass made righteous, every last one!

"Any true definition of Christian Universalism MUST INCLUDE THE BELIEF that God is all Sovereign, loving, powerful, wise, just, and ultimately rules over everything. It MUST ALSO INCLUDE the belief that salvation is only by faith in God and was finalized by Jesus Christ "who gave Himself a ransom for all" (1 Tim 2:6). The definition of Christian Universalism DOES INCLUDE THE BELIEF that God "will have all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim. 2:4)."

"God is the Saviour of all mankind, especially those who believe/ trust in Him. Command this & teach this."

Please note:

God is not a potential Saviour, nor is He only (monos/monon) the Saviour of those who believe. God is the Saviour of all mankind, but in particular, the Saviour of the malista.

The Bible never says anyone will never be written in the book of life. OTOH it says all will obtain life & be constituted just:

Rom 5:18 Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for ALL MANKIND for condemnation, thus also it is through one just act for ALL MANKIND for life's justifying."

Rom 5:19 For even as, through the disobedience of the one man, THE MANY were constituted sinners, thus also, through the obedience of the One, THE MANY shall be constituted just."

Paul makes a parallel between "the many" who were condemned & sinners and those who will be justified & constituted just.

“In Romans 5, the justification is co-extensive with the condemnation. Since all share in one, all share in the other. If only a certain portion of the human race had partaken of the sin of Adam, only a certain portion would partake of the justification of Christ. But St. Paul affirms all to have been involved in one, and all to be included in the other.”

Therefore there is salvation after death. And corrective punishment.

Jesus shall see of the travail of His soul & be satisfied. Not satisfied a little bit, but the vast majority fried alive forever.

"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities." (Isa.53:11).

For how "many" (not few) did He "bear their iniquities"? All.

Death will be abolished (1 Cor.15:26). Then all will have life. Then God will be "all in all" (v.28), and all who were in Adam will be "in Christ" (v.22).

"Just as surely as the abolition of slavery entails freedom for those formerly enslaved, the abolition of death entails life for those formerly dead."

Dear Clement: For F.L. this is a strong foundation for what we believe. There are a few that think the equation is not equal on both sides: Adam1 & the Last Adam, the Master of Reconciliation. Their line= many does not mean all.

The word for "many" is the koine polus & the same polus constituted sinners is the polus constituted righteous; every last one!

If God loved a liar He would squeeze you to death!

Dear he-man: I can think of no being I would rather be squeezed to death more than the Being of all mankind!

The statement by St. Paul to Timothy stands before you!

"God is the Saviour of all mankind, especially those who believe/ trust in Him. Command this & teach this."

Please note: God is not a potential Saviour, nor is He only (monos/monon) the Saviour of those who believe. God is the Saviour of all mankind, but in particular, the Saviour of the malista.

 

[Pneuma3]

I posted this in another thread but thought it would go nicely here.

In Hell there grew a Judas Tree
Where Judas hanged and died
Because he could not bear to see
His master crucified
Our Lord descended into Hell
And found his Judas there
For ever haning on the tree
Grown from his own despair
So Jesus cut his Judas down
And took him in his arms
"It was for this I came" he said
"And not to do you harm
My Father gave me twelve good men
And all of them I kept
Though one betrayed and one denied
Some fled and others slept
In three days' time I must return
To make the others glad
But first I had to come to Hell
And share the death you had
My tree will grow in place of yours
Its roots lie here as well
There is no final victory
Without this soul from Hell"
So when we all condemned him
As of every traitor worst
Remember that of all his men
Our Lord forgave him first

ERV We hope in the living God, the Savior of all people. In particular, he is the Savior of all those who believe in him. This is why we work and struggle.

ISV To this end we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, that is, of those who believe.

NLV Because of this, we work hard and do our best because our hope is in the living God, the One Who would save all men. He saves those who believe in Him.

Dear he-man: What part of all/pas do you not grasp?

How many ways can 1 Tim. 4.10 be translated?

1 Timothy 4:10 - That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

Malista escapes your grasp & all you desire to change to less than all. You are a bad he-man.

Plan b minus=

God is[the] Saviour of less than all of mankind, and only(monon/monos) the Saviour of the malista.

From Him the all comes, through Him the all exists, and in Him the all ends...

What part of of (not ‘all’) as manγ as G3956 do you not grasp?

Dear he-man: I see your addition of "not all" to God is Saviour of all mankind. Perhaps we can vote you most likely to succeed as the newest translator of koine. LOL!

By these three prepositions Paul ascribes the universe (ta panta) with all the phenomena concerning creation, redemption, providence to God as the...

Ex= The Source

Di= The Agent

Eiv= The Goal

The Koine, ta pavnte, is the strongest word for all in the Scriptures; it literally means the all.

Romans 11:36=

ta pavnte/ ta panta, "in the absolute sense of the whole of creation, the all things, the universe, and, everything in heaven and earth that is in need of uniting and redeeming."

It is not in the limited sense of "nearly all", "pavnte" minus "ta

The final preposition [eiv) reveals the ultimate goal of all that is. What has been provided in Christ is a re-turn, a re-storation, a re-newing, a re-demption, a re-concilation, a re-surrection, a re-stitution.

The prefix "re" means back again, again, anew--and all the words with this prefix speak of something that left its place and has now made its circuit and come back to the point of its beginning.

In the Christian story God descends to reascend. He comes down;.... down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature He has created. But He goes down to come up again and bring the whole ruined world up with Him. -C.S. Lewis

[Roseonathorn]

Loving God? How much. I heard Americans Loooove a lot of things. But God has to be first, You have to love God even more than Your kids or spouse, if it comes to that, not just more than Your makeup, money or pride. But it can be a hard walk. It can also be hard if You have to live around tempting things in the world as a christian, If You are born into a luxurious sinful rich family that only laugh at Your attempts to follow the will of God.
