Universal Reconciliation

I was looking for a Forum on Universal Reconciliation (not Unitarians). I found a Forum suggestion that is closed. Why? and Why is there no Forum for Universal Reconciliation? There was a lot of support FOR THE FORUM ON UNIVERSAL RECONCILIATION. I enjoy the fellowship with like minded believers and do not enjoy the debates with the calvin and arminium(sp?) believers. We each have our strengths in scriptures and UR's also have stregnth in sharing historical documentation of translations language and historical origin of hell. We need and we want a place we can continue to support and encourage each other in this truly good news message to the world that we joyfully share how Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.

Universal Reconciliation is often misunderstood and accused as being a free ticket to eternal life without repentance or acceptance of Christ and if those who make such an accusation truly understood the scriptures they too would follow the True Message of Salvation to All of Mankind and that Christ truly is the Saviour of All the World.

Of course I am same luvs_luv.

I look forward to discussing Universal Salvation in General Theology forum, Ethics and Morality forum. Can you send me a PM on how to set up a Goggle Alerts for Universal Salvation. I guess I am kind of low tech, but that is a feature I would like to have very much.

Brethren, I am a rock-solid, Bible-believing fundamentalist with no apologies to anybody, and I am surprised at how strong the case for universal salvation is.

The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is only through faith in Christ, without works, but there are passages that seem to teach that everyone in Hell will eventually turn to Christ.

I have asked this question on other forums: Where does the Bible say that you cannot be saved after you die? Book, chapter, and verse, please.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT." (Hebrews 9:27)

"The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy." (Psalm 145:20)

"He became the author of eternal salvation unto all the that obey Him." (Hebrews 5:9)

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in therat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:13-14)

These verses spring to mind immediately. The first suggests there is NO opportunity for salvation after the first death and the others help make clear that universal salvation cannot be true.

You have no concept of what JUDGMENT is--JUDGMENT does not mean eternal torment or THE END of anything.

There are plenty of verses that show Universal Salvation as well. Looks like we need the Holy Spirit to truly learn how to rightly divide what is LITERAL and what is not.
