No, it condemned Origenism - as your link describes more completely than I can fit here. Universalism was not a topic of debate at that council.
From link provided in OP:
Topics
Nestorianism
Origenism
Those who follow the teachings of men and the doctrines of demons,
Those who follow the teachings of men and the doctrines of demons, they are the ones who will find themselves facing the wrath of the Lamb.
Yes yes we all know who you are talking about. Mandatory anti traditionalists post.

It's done, finished, Over etc. The issue has already been resolved. There's nothing left to debate.

The Emperor isn't a council. It's questionable that these anathemas actually came from the council. The council was convened to condemn Theodore, in the vain hope of reconciling some of his enemies.The Anathemas of the Emperor Justinian Against Origen

I agree that Universalism is false. It's hard for me to condemn Origen himself given his context and love for Christ he displayed in his life.
Congratulations you've just estranged yourself from the rest of the group. if this was a conversation meant for "The Church" should it not be in The Ancient Way - Eastern Orthodox forum? I don't accept universalism either but if you're going to play with others this "us and them" routine isn't productive and it only works towards disunity. If you want a conversation about universalism then be prepared to talk about it rather than pretend it's not there because it's only the fake church anyway.For "The Church" it is.

The creeds came out of the politics, so this may not be such a good approach.many only care about the creeds, not the politics so ignore the rest.
The Canons and Decrees of The Ecumenical Councils are Infallible.

What is your support for that statement? Was it another decree of the Ecumenical Councils?
I never paid ANY attention to such things, having been raised as a Southern Baptist. That being so, I was taught that the Bible was the reference standard for Truth. In time, I encountered the Universalist message, and I investigated my KJV from one end to the other to see what was true. In the matters we are discussing in this thread, I found the KJV to be faulty, and I have moved on to better translations. YMMV.
