The scriptural evidence against universalism is overwhelming. Share the gospel now, before it's too late!
That is a lie, jimmie. It is a "precept and doctrine of men" that we were warned about by Jesus. Thinking you are somehow special because you profess to believe certain things about Jesus and God is just ear tickling human vanity and hubris. There is no way you can "Brown-nose" your way into special status before God, period. We are all God's children and we are ALL loved. Some of us will reap whatever we sow and that is just, but it will not be more than we sow and it definitely will NOT be eternal. You and all who you convince to believe that evil doctrine will pay a price for your arrogance and pride, especially if you have mistreated or discriminated against anyone because of your misguided beliefs. You have no special points with God because of your self-centered beliefs.

Unless, you believe in the false teaching of eternal damnation that entered the Church or Religious Organizations over the centuries. The words endless torment (adialeipton timorion), eternal imprisonment (aidios eirgmos) or eternal punishment (aidios kalasin) do not appear anywhere in the Greek New Testament, at least not in conjunction. Neither, will you find the term aidios timorion or eternal torment. Therefore, whoever says that there is an eternal time set for punishment beyond this life is sadly mistaken. It's a limited duration of aionion (αἰώνιον - a period of time, as in an age) kalasin (Κόλασιν - chastisement or correction) which is in view; but the day and hour that it begins and ends is unpredictable. If it were eternal, then the word Aidios would have been used. But not even Jesus used the word for eternal in conjunction with any kind of punishment.
The evidence of FORGIVENESS is OVERWHELMING..share the LOVE NOW, before it is too late..
Amen. This world below is a hellish place for many and they need to be reminded that love is stronger than death. The last thing this world needs is more fear. I don't know how many times the New Testament says FEAR NOT - I know it is many.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. John 4:18
Those who constantly preach about fear are not helping anyone and they apparently have not been perfected by love.
6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
2 Cor. 6
Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
2 Cor. 6
Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
John 3 "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,
for God’s wrath remains on them." ~ Jesus
John 5
"Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already
because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son...
Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—
those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned." ~ Jesus

Didn't we just cover this not long ago? There is never a time when it's not now.

Does the next life exist in "time"?
