Thanks Paul. Yes I had a very good Thanksgiving. Turkey was super duper. Dressing was a hit.

No one goes to the Father but by me. Thanks for praying for me.

You don't seem to realize that someone can believe in Jesus and not think in the way you and most evangelicals think about Jesus and Hell and salvation and eternal life. We think differently. God Created us in his image.

Actually, the problem you have is a university degree. You touted your degree and you have no idea how that hinders your thinking. You spent $$ and hours listening to those professors telling you what the scripture meant. I feel for you

I am an universalist. To be honest, there is no amount of debate that will sway me, because your arguments are full of holes. We serve a living, loving God that loves EVERYONE.

If you want to keep on this discussion, I'll be perfectly okay to provide my side of the scriptures that provide plenty of scriptural proof of my side of the argument.

Romans 5:18: "One act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men"

Jesus "is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.” (1 John 2:2)

"Love never fails.” (1 Cor. 13:8)

"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should gladly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2:10:11)

"God was pleased to have all fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things on earth or in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation.” (Col. 1:19, 21, 22)

This one is special because God was the Father that was PLEASED to have all fullness dwell in Him.

Jesus "did not come to judge the world but to save the world.” (John 12:47)

But to be honest, you already know the scriptures. You, if you are worth your salt would have already figured out my side of the debate and had your defense already waiting.

But hey,

Lawyer stuff.

Let me know if you want to continue this debate. Love,

Sal
