16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”
Luke 13
22 And He was passing through from one city and village to another, teaching, and proceeding on His way to Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27 and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’
I knew that the first response would be someone quoting John 3:16. These 2 scriptures that do not say what you think they are saying have blinded many christians and made the arm of the Lord short to save and denied the ability of the great persuader to show mankind its need to be reconciled back to himself.
So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy and now before you start defending the right of your god to show mercy to whoever he wishes to.......... Put this in your pipe and smoke it....... For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all
What about babies who die? Once to die and then the judgment?
May be your belief - not mine. I see children as exempt until God deems them to possess the age, maturity, and mental capacity to be held responsible. That's God's call - not mine.
What about babies who die? Once to die and then the judgment?
What about it?
"God is no respecter of persons" Acts 10:34
"people are without excuse" ......Romans 1:20
"without faith it is impossible to please God" ..... Hebrews 11:6
"I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just" .... Jesus
Universalism is the backhanded accusation that people who go to hell if so is because of an unjust judgment by God
