God created us for his glory. Paul says he glorifies his wrath and mercy in the vessels fitted for mercy and the others fitted for wrath. Without sin we cannot know God's love, righteousness, goodness, justice and so on.
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV 1900)Nonsense. Show me where that is from in scripture.
“What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Romans 9:22–23 (KJV 1900)Will you quote the exact verses that says God glorfies his wrath.
Because Christian universalism doesn't teach it doesn't matter what you believe - I only that all will eventually believe in Jesus.
Yes, but John says "if we sin", not "when we sin". It's like people say "these things happen". But why do they happen? Because they say "these things happen"......from the comedy "It's a mad mad mad mad world".Ok, so we have the ability to fall short or fail to one degree or another in our own development?
I'm not making a case for Christian Univeralism, I'm merely answering your question about it. It simply teaches that people go to hell for a time, not for an eternity. It doesn't teach it doesn't matter what you believe. I'm just trying to clarify these common misconceptions about it. It's good to address a subject with an understanding of what it teaches and not a caricature of such.One day, every knee will bow and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. People will believe in him when they see him.
But that doesn't mean they will be saved. If they rejected him while they were alive and died with their sins unforgiven, they will not be with God for eternity. THAT would be hell; seeing Jesus, knowing without a doubt that he not only exists but is Lord - and also knowing that you rejected him when you had the chance, refused to go to him for forgiveness and have to spend eternity as an unforgiven sinner with no repentance.

Check the entire context there's much more.
If we are sane, we want all men to be saved. If we are biblical we know there is double destination. In my left hand I hold the hope for all men, in my right hand I hold the knowing of the double destination. I never let my hands meet.

Brother, bring your hands together in prayer and let the Spirit cleanse you of doubt and double-mindedness.
Scripture does not support universal salvation. If you consider all of it.
I know that there will be double destinations.
“Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” Romans 9:21–24 (KJV 1900)Many eminent Christian thinkers through the ages would disagree.
The foundational covenants are universal in scope (all the nations shall be blessed, God will ultimately renew all things), the gospel is universal (glad tidings of great joy for all mankind), God is good and His explicit plan is to be all in all, Jesus came to save the whole world, Yeshua means God's Salvation and is the omega. God is love, light, gracious and merciful beyond measure. His enemies are spiritual, He loves His critters so radically that He forgives even the crimes of deicide and regicide. Jesus heals and forgives, chastises all those he loves.
So show me the fine print?
It still works out that most end up in hell.I think it says God was willing to make known the riches of his glory to the vessels of mercy. The word "glory" is not connected to vessels of wrath and destruction, but the word "longsuffering".
But that doesn't mean they will be saved. If they rejected him while they were alive and died with their sins unforgiven, they will not be with God for eternity.

it's their sentencing.But wait, they're back:
"Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city. (Matt 10:15)
It's hurts to get healed when you're so far gone. The Great Physician needs surgically remove some of those strongholds.
