You are saying all interpret the bible as you do. This is certainly not true. If it was, there would be no denominations.

The difference is: universal atonement doesn't save anyone. That's why it is Pelagianism. So you give me an opportunity to compare our systems. You also must save yourself by jumping through the hoops they assign for you to jump through. I believe and live a Holy Life because Jesus purchased my...

I like to give people alternatives to what they've been taught. Many read the posts so you can relax and not assume I'm here to argue. Your resistance provides info for others to consider.

I see why you won't argue. Universal Atonement is Pelagianism condemned as heresy at Ephesus in 431. Luther went after the Catholic Church when they violated this creed and taught free will instead.

The Greek word "World" has a wide area of meanings. In one case it says "God so loved the world". In another case, Jesus says he prays for the elect "but not the world" many still assume he died for. So we can see two meanings of the same English translation of the "world" that contradict each...

Have you ever noticed the several times it says God blinded the Pharisees so they could not believe? Or where Jesus says "all that the Father gives to me will come to me" Or how he purchased the church with his own blood. Can't you see how these verses derail universal atonement?

We say "Jesus never fails". Universalists say "Jesus always fails".

For the Christian, the Sermon on the Mount shows the way to having needs met by God: Matthew 6:24-34. I made a successful career from this. Knowing God is your source gives you great freedom.

What about Paul's Man of Sin? “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no...

Jesus says he will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on me. So I try to do this and closing my eyes helps.

Are you agreeing that Universal Atonement comes from eisegesis?

They deny Jesus came in the flesh. Thomas Cranmer the martyr proved Churches have been doing this for centuries. Is the Antichrist in your church?

Jesus says believers have eternal life. But if you are unrepentant God will either kill you as was the case with the Corinthian brother, until he repented. Or he will chastise you to the point you will not wilfully sin ever again. But eternal life is forever. If you can lose it, you are the...

Did you know the Jesuits introduced a future antichrist to deceive you and others? So that you would not think the papacy is the antichrist? https://christianityhaven.com/threads/is-the-antichrist-in-your-church.12801/

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV 1900) I'm sure this must have...

Why did God create the universe? Paul says to teach his created order about his manifold wisdom “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the...

a generous amount of distilled water.

Why aren't all saved in your Americanised understanding? If He paid for everyone's sins? How about the Pharisees whom God blinded so they could not believe?

For Pelagians only. He ignores the big picture and substitutes his interpretation for scripture. This is eisegesis when you ignore the many scriptures that force a different meaning onto the passage.

Did God lose? He didn't get what he wanted? This is a limp-wristed godling, you describe, not God.
