Did you ever consider that the mainstream teaching (the broad path) might be the one that is following "seducing spirits?" That what Jesus taught about the love of God is NOT consistent with the idea that punishment could ever be without possibility of change? Look at the "fruit" of the doctrine rather than the popularity of it.
Speculation, not founded in scripture (bolded above). In fact, Jesus taught the opposite.
Universalism doesn't need Jesus if we all end up in heaven without Him......the pipe dream of no judgment denies who God is. God is total love but also just........choices have consequences. Man disobeyed in the garden and the accumulation of sin debt began, a debt sinful man couldn 't pay. Only a holy God could pay the debt for us.
Universalism goes directly against scripture which proclaims ALL have sinned and fallens short of the glory of God. We are ALL born spiritually dead and separated from God.......there will be no heaven ever for those who remain that way. Any thoughts to the contrary are merely denial and escapism........don't buy into it........
Grace and peace

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Funny how what we are commanded to teach you guys believe is not to be found in scripture.
Scgraham states that 1 Tim 4:1-2 is in reference to universalism, however it is actually in reference to to the doctrines of ET and annihilation. And if they had have kept reading 1 tim 4 they would have seen exactly what we are COMMANDED to teach.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,*specially*of those that believe. These things command and teach.
You guys simply believe and teach that which you should not.

Jesus is the Saviour of all men, Jews and Genttiles alike, but most reject Him and so He can't save them.

Jesus can't save the unwilling, just as he couldn't do any mighty work among his countrymen.
Matthew 13
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Well you either believe what we are commanded to teach or you do not. however teaching anything other then what we are commanded to teach is a strange doctrine that 1 tim 4 speaks about many believing.
You seem to believe that Adams sin, which brought all men to sin is stronger then the cross of Jesus Christ and that which he did. That would mean Adams sin is greater in scope then Christs redemption. That alone should make you question the doctrine you hold to.

John 3:16 (along with the Timothy passage) teaches that, to access grace, we must believe. "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews)

A classic sign of false doctrine is to take one verse, of which they have no understanding, and make a doctrine out of it.

And what makes you think not all will believe? do not the scriptures tell us that every knee shall bow (the word bow here is always used in worship) and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
God gets no glory from lip service jim, thus the confession is from the heart.
