Yep, that's pretty much what I see too.

I haven't seen that, i see them proclaiming God IS love, regardless of whether anyone including the Fundy or Uni lives up to it. GOD IS.What you and I do does not change what God IS.

I agree 100%. I don't even think they realize how arrogant they sound.

That to me is the dead give away and testimony of how false universalism is.....

I will let the lurkers read these to determine where the true arrogance resides. God IS love . . . we are supposed to try to achieve some harmonic resonance with His love. Christian Universalists follow Christ and TRY to obey His commands to "love God and each other" . . . no matter how hard you ET and AN fundies make it.

They call it being "spiritually mature".

You are right Mystic.

Dear Universalist friends keep speaking HIGHLY of His Amazing love. After all, is not this the desire of all who are the beloved of this amazing lover.

His mouth is sweetness itself; HE IS altogether lovely. This is my lover, this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.Songs of Solomon 5:16.

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?

There is nothing bitter about the love of Him who IS altogether lovely.

Nothing unlovely could ever be said to come from Him who IS altogether lovely.

If you have seen him who IS altogether lovely you have seen the Father(God)John 14:9

Well, Israel...is what I meant......are you angry about something? I don't know but there seems to be some...tick offedness in your reply. To be honest, I think we need to quit worrying about who this and that are, the representation..the symbols, just confess with your lips, repent, try your best to live a holy life, and leave the rest to the Father. Uh, Yahweh is still in charge you know. Followers of the one and only begotten Son, should really show a little more love.

And P.S. I read scriptures every day, it doesn't mean I have a full understanding however, no more than YOU do. Blessings to you, never the less.

All I am saying is that I do not agree with God's logic as portrayed by Bible believers that if you do not believe in Jesus your works do not matter and the example of killing women and children on taking a piece of land.

With this in mind I tend to believe there must be some error somwhere that people come up with this type of logic God has assuming the Bible is the word of God, take care.
It's not what "bible believers" believe, it's what the old and new testaments say....you can read it for yourself. I read somewhere, when you read the Word, (God's Word) with the intention of finding error, you will. I'm not judging you, but if you are a "Christian" then you believe, that the Father, sent His only begotten Son (Jesus, Yeshua), so that who so ever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.

I personally, do not know, how to reconcile, what Muslims, Hindus and other faiths/religions believe. All I can do is pray, for my brothers and sisters, of other faiths/religions, cuz I don't have all the answers...and like the Book say.."My ways are not your ways.."

That's right. I don't know why Elamigo says people "come up" with the beliefs, when the Bible repeats the same message to no end.
