No, but I needed to ask "on the record," so to speak, considering the policy memo I received from the Theology Admin. I'm not going to waste my time composing responses to people who close threads on the OP's whim before I can hit the "post" button.
I'm through with posting in threads that are going to be closed on a whim.
BTW, I hope everyone will post their thoughts & feelings in this wiki thread:

Isn't there a verse which says hell and death will be thrown into the lake of fire?
Would not that annihilate them?
I honestly don't know, do we know everything about what happens?
(((((Joykins)))))I will not request that the thread be closed.
I will also not grow wings and fly away, which is just about as likely as me asking for the thread to be closed
I don't know what it means either. Once death is dead, can you kill it again?
The other thread is closed.
If you're not sick of the topic, have at it here.
I'm still interested in discussing the benefits or drawbacks of Universalism especially as relates to evangelistic efforts.
Feel free to range a bit off-topic also.
From an evangelistic effort perspective, it renders evangelism unneeded. Why GO! and preach the Good News if everybody is saved? Why GO! and preach the need for a savior from sin and destruction if everybody is already saved? Why GO! and preach repentance if everybody is saved?
Universalism and all that it stands for run contrary to the purpose of Jesus Christ dying on the cross and Commissioning His people to GO!
Isn't that Good News?From an evangelistic effort perspective, it renders evangelism unneeded. Why GO! and preach the Good News if everybody is saved?
Do you seriously want to engage in a discussion of this issue?Yet neither time did you change the fact that the doctrine of universal salvation runs contrary to the testimony of God's Word.
Good question.But is that (all are saved) the Good news we are told to proclaim?
Yet neither time did you change the fact that the doctrine of universal salvation runs contrary to the testimony of God's Word.
I've thought we are to proclaim today is the day of salvation, open the door before its too late.Good question.
Why do you think it isn't?
Pro - Everyone is happy
Con - It's not scriptural.

Universalism spreads the good news of the Gospel...
That the Grace of God has appeared bringing Salvation to all men
That God will have all men be saved and come to the relisation of the truth
That Christ has paid the Sin debt of all of Creation on the Cross at Calvary
That this will be testified in due time.....
We are the only teaching that is in line with what the word of God actualy says...right accross the entire Bible.
