Here's a completely unbiased (as amazing as that seems) presentation about the three views with biblical defense from a teacher that is undecided on which view is best.I don`t know that you would have proof texts on this issue. Maybe some taken out of context and/or misread.
Conviction/certainty of Scripture as the word of God. . .turning my thinking not just upside down, but also inside out. . .a filling of my being with the Holy Spirit--in places I didn't even know I had. . .joy unspeakable and glorious. . .I didn't know or understand what was going on. . .had to learn what it was from the NT Scriptures.How did that play out in your life?
The Bible is the sole judge of truth and doctrine.Your link discusses the contradiction. (not the only one in the Bible)
Those with a literal view looking for clear direction are baffled. (thus the need for an article to explain) I understand that the
Bible is a book that points us to wisdom. It's not an answer book or a how-to manual.

I formed my theology from reading the Bible, requiring that my understanding be true to the words and in harmony with all Scripture.Interesting I have to say. Was this when you found Calvinism to be true?
I'm lost here. . .repentance is necessary as a qualifier for account/credit/impute?

Hell - Three Christian Views Lecture by Steve Gregg
So for everyone who isn’t a believer in the universal reconciliation of all things, would you prefer that universalism were true?
Thanks. Interesting to see him in long hair.Gotta see this. Love this song by Steve Gregg:
From that perspective, Universalism wins hands-down.Also somewhere he says the view of the eternal outcome defines our view of God.
Wow! . . .isn't that backwards? Shouldn't our view of God come from what God, Jesus and the apostles teach, rather than from our judgment of his actions?Greg makes a lot of effort to say he is presenting an objective case for each view, when it's pretty clear he isn't, and that he is undecided. He made no defence of the "eternal torment view" more than saying that some Church fathers and maybe the Bible teaches it. A matter of fact is that he philosophically debunked the idea.
Also somewhere he says the view of the eternal outcome defines our view of God.
So if he is undecided about that, it should mean he is undecided of the character of God,
From that perspective, Universalism wins hands-down.

All that will yield is a backwards (from man's point of view) understanding of God.

A simple yes or no answer to start your response would be great, then the rationale behind why you have picked either yes or no.
The only understanding I have of God is from Scripture. Where else would I get it?Our view of God comes from how we understand Him. I don't think we can say all our understanding of God is through scripture.

I question the source of the "want" for justice.Not necessarly. You do want justice to be done?
