Subject: Scriptural proofs that the Bible teaches universal salvationSee Author: Rodger Tutt (http://www.tentmaker.org) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:39:03 06/28/08 Sat In reply to: nt 's message, "That is hard to believe Tutt" on 22:56:04 05/12/08 Mon Scriptural proofs that the Bible teaches universal salvation. See http://www.tentmaker.org/books/ScripturalProofs.html http://www.tentmaker.org/books/Bible-Proofs-modern.html http://www.tentmaker.org/articles/universalism-is-not-in-the-bible.htm Also see four scriptural expositions expounding UR at http://concordant.org/expohtml/HumanDestiny/doubts.html http://concordant.org/expohtml/HumanDestiny/1cor15.html http://concordant.org/expohtml/TheEons/index.html http://gtft.org/Library/condon/QuestionsWithoutAnswers.htm Regarding the most common argument that the same word for "punishment" is also used for "life" see the following: All three of these articles should be studied with care, especially the third one. http://concordant.org/expohtml/TheEons/eon1.html http://concordant.org/expohtml/TheEons/eon2.html http://concordant.org/expohtml/TheEons/eon3.html also see http://concordant.org/expohtml/TheEons/aion.html http://concordant.org/version/tranprin.html A little test about the word "ALL" that's found in Scripture. If Truth is changed to not be all inclusive, when the context renders that it should be it then becomes error. Reconsider the following Scriptures, without using any preconceived thoughts or forced interpretation upon them. This may be more difficult to do than first realized, because we all resort to an immediate interpretation of something based on our past understandings of the verse. The darkest doctrine ever devised by men was that of an "eternal suffering" for the billions of souls that die lost without Christ. Like wolves among the sheep, carnally-minded men within the church system found it very effective to use the fear of an unending hell to control the masses that enter their religion. Unfortunately this doctrine has remained at large in Christianity as a whole. The Lord Jesus said, "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself." - John 12:32 LOOK AT THE VERSES WITH THE WORD ALL Savior of all, especially believers (1 Tim 4:9-11) http://www.tentmaker.org/Dew/Dew7/D7-EspeciallyThoseThatBelieve.html God wills that all mankind be saved (1 Tim 2:4) Operating all in accord with counsel of His will (Eph 1:11) In Adam all dying; in Christ shall all be vivified (1 Cor 15:21-23) It says "in Christ shall all," not "all who are in Christ." One offense for all mankind for condemnation... (Rom 5:18-19) Lamb of God taking away sin of the world (John 1:29) Correspondent ransom for all (1 Tim 2:6) Every knee bowing (Phil 2:9; Is 45:23) And we know that anyone who acclaims that Jesus Christ is Lord, especially when it is to God's glory without any hypocrisy is saved for 1Corinthians 12:3 says so. Locks all in stubbornness; to be merciful to all (Rom 11:30-32) All created ... to reconcile all (Col 1:16-20) He should be tasting death for the sake of everyone (Heb 2:9) That the world might be saved thru Him (John 3:17) God was in Christ conciliating the world to Himself (2 Cor 5:18) For our sins, not ours only but the whole world (1 John 2:2) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
