How many churches are there in the world that you have not "given a hearing", Mike? Would your short lifetime allow you to consider everything taught and believed in this world? Probably not. I have enough trouble keeping up with what is on my plate as it is - sure don't have time to study everything out there.

I have presented those churches for the benefit of whoever wishes to give them a hearing. Those who aren't interested need not bother doing so.
And, therein, lies the biggest problem with you Mike. It's OK for you to have FOUND THE PASTOR(S) THAT ARE RIGHT FOR YOU...and yet, you CONDEMN everyone else for doing the same, simply because they disagree with the teaching you have come to believe and accept...and, just because YOU'VE come to believe and accept a certain teaching doesn't necessarily make it THE TRUTH anymore than what someone else has learned, which may be contrary to what you have learned, is THE TRUTH.
I have yet to see anyone on this forum that cannot support what they have come to believe and accept AS TRUTH biblically...which just reveals how contradictory scriptures really are when there are a multitude of doctrinal positions that can be found in them...and you are simply deluding yourself if you truly believe that there aren't...because there are...which is why we have a multitude of denominations.
You do understand how WRONG it is to condemn someone else for doing the very thing you have done, when they disagree with your accepted position...don't you???? Don't you??????????

Accusations of condemnation are just that. Accusations. Those who do not accept Biblically revealed truth, are quick to attack those who stand in the truth. Everyone is born already under condemnation and on their way to hell, unless they respond to the gospel message. THAT is Biblically revealed truth.
So what you are saying is sit down listen to what I have to say or shut up because as you have already said you do not give a flying fig newton about what I have to say ? . I feel the same way about your beliefs and will not stop challenging and exposing what they are, for your sake and for any who are willing to hear.
What I am saying is present your views without getting personal. Many Universalists cannot seem to do this.
When a thread becomes not more than a battle of insulting each other the op must have been asked, answered and exhausted because this one is very off topic..
