Re: Christian Universalism

I don’t believe you, quite simply. But maybe you’re right. Maybe your modern day translation of the most recent form of the Bible canon does indeed form a picture of eternal torment prescribed by God for those who die in a state of not believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Now if you cou...

Re: Christian Universalism

Phillip you’ve completely ignored everything I’ve said in regards to arguments in the Bible for universalism haven’t you? All you’ve done is throw a link at me that you didn’t seem to even read yourself. Universalists have plenty of scriptural evidence for their views, some of which were provided in...

Re: Christian Universalism

Abiogenesis evidences? You mean evidences that would still require miracles, just not ones of an Intelligent Creator! Read this assessment of abiogenesis here, in Reasons.org's "Evolution as Myth" Series (Part Three): https://reasons.org/explore/publications/articles/evolution-as-mytholog...

Re: Christian Universalism

I think a lot of backslidden Christians, or even those who have since rejected the faith, will get a huge wake up call when the cataclysmic events of the tribulation and end days like the mark and so forth start unfolding. There will be those who are fooled by the deceptions (fake Aliens, etc.) tha...

Re: Christian Universalism

Seraph, now I remember interacting with you a long while back. So, what caused you to drop your Christian beliefs? A combination of many things, the main ones being 1. Genesis is scientifically absurd and could not have happened literally, given the evidence available. Biological evolution and abio...

Re: Christian Universalism

Well no not exactly, I was a strong Christian for about 12 years, during which time I was a regular poster on this board. The vast majority of my posts here were supporting Christianity, not attacking it (though I’d lock horns with presuppositionalists a lot). Once I was no longer convinced Christia...

Re: Christian Universalism

And if God intends to torment the non saved for all eternal eternity, he did a very poor job of presenting it in the Old Testament, which never once refers to a hell or eternal torment for any non saved. The only word mentioned is Sheol which literally means “the grave” or the state of being dead. A...

Why believe that the modern Bible canon is inspired by God?

Pretty self explanatory. Christianity makes the assumption that the Bible as we know it today (which differs in ways based upon your denomination) is the inerrant and inspired word of God. However the Bible has evolved many times throughout history and it was humans with political agendas who select...

Questions for Universalists: https://mattdabbs.com/2011/09/19/ten-questions-i-have-for-christian-universalists/ Most of these can be answered by one of three answers: 1.

Re: Christian Universalism

Universalism is going beyond more chances for repentance though....it's saying that everyone will ultimately end up with God as far as I am aware. As long as we have free will that will never happen. And God is the one that gave us the freedom to choose. I don’t believe in metaphysical free will si...

Re: Christian Universalism

The vast majority of Universalists do indeed believe in a hell, they are called “Purgatorial Universalists”. They do not ignore scriptures about hell but believe it is a temporary purging hell for the reasons I mentioned in the OP. Let me ask you, if someone finds themself in the lake of fire and ma...

Christian Universalism

About 8 years ago I stopped calling myself Christian and rather began identifying as Agnostic Theist. However lately I’ve been someone enticed by the ideology of Christian Universalism. It’s come to my attention that the Greek word used in reference to “everlasting” punishment in the New Testament i...

Re: No such thing as a "gay gene"

Yeah, that's a nice objective definition that won't cause any issues...* cough age*, *cough mental state*, etc Okay? I definitely agree that children cannot give consent because of their mental and sexual immaturity. I never argued for pedophilia in the slightest sense. Homosexuality and pedophilia...
