Of course the angels were not lying. If they were sinful or sinned they would've been cast down just like Satan was, and all his angels.

And it WAS good news.

God's grace extended to ALL who had ears to hear, and accepted His grace, and repented.

This IS good news, is it not?

No they weren't lying. They were proclaiming the GOOD NEWS of the GOSPEL!
That The lamb of GOD , the Savior was born to the world, & all who repent of their sins & would believe with Faith in JESUS CHRIST the Son of God who came to pay the debt for our sin will be saved from the wrath of God.

Technically, it's not lying.

The message was indeed announced to everyone eventually, only some took some 2,000 years for them to hear the message

The angels "sorta' " lied?

See posts #3 and #6.

The angels were not preaching Universalism is the false /teaching/belief that everyone will be saved.

Universalism is not taught in the Bible.

Dear I.M. So the entire mega joy which "shall be" for all people must be accepted. When?

Every knee, every tongue, every dimension of the heavens, the earth & the underworld

 

[Pedra]

The message of the Gospel is offered to all but "all" does not mean that "all" will be saved, that is Universalism.

The verse about every knee bowing is true. All, even Satan and his angels and the unrepentant, WILL be compelled to bow their knee to speak the truth on WHO Jesus the Christ is. It is not because they are loving Jesus or adoring Him, but because they will be compelled to speak the truth whether they want to or not, in the midst of their condemnation. They will be declaring WHO they have rejected, and slandered, and lied about, and thus stating why they are thus condemned and sentenced to the lake of fire for all of eternity.

Since the gifts and blessings of God need to be accepted.....do you also believe that the punishment and curses of God needs to be accepted before you can receive them as well? If not....why do you think God made His gifts optional, but His punishment mandatory?

 

[FineLinen]

1. No
2. Yes

Dear Aussie: #1 correct>>>#2 correct

#3

Why did the angels not make clear the megas joy for the pas of God's kindness of glad tidings was based on acceptance?

 

[RaymondG]

Universalism is not taught in the Bible.

Yes the term Universal ism was not used in the bible or in the OP.... so Why do you keep using it in your Posts? Are you able to make your points without referring to terms and doctrines not used in the bible?
