FWIW this is exactly what UR believes. Not Unitarian.
Christian Universalist. Jesus in the only way.

Can't you see this is not in defence of UR it's a response to rejecting present day truth and then saying to those who are open to it as having itching ears , when it is the other way round.

You cannot deny that God as been bringing light back to HIS church which was lost and began to return with Martin Luther having the revelation that the just shall live by faith, Luther did not even have half the Light God as revealed to us today . All that the Lord required from Luther and those who believed the revelation (light) was to walk in the light recoverd in their day and nothing more.

Let me help with that.

I'm pro-life
Christian, my views tend to be mostly non-denominational
I believe in the Trinity
I believe the JWs , Mormons, UPC, are cults.
I believe the 7th Dayers are Christian, but tend to lean into being cult-like.
I believe the Catholic church is Christian, but also tends to act like a weird cult at times...(Mostly over the Mary stuff)

I believe in eternal damnation
I believe in real wine with the Holy Meal, but it's not that big of deal to me.
I believe we can have women lead in our church.
I dont agree that the Gays should be able to be married, however I do see room for legal civil unions that give the Gays the same rights are normal people.

While I believe a person should be an adult when baptised, I so recognize baby baptism too.
I dont believe for a moment that a child that dies that is unbaptised goes to hell.
I believe the dead church is with the Lord.
I believe Jesus rose from the dead in a real body, and one day I will have such an everlasting body too.

I do not believe any of the UFO stories.
I think that evolution is true and has enough support in science to be taught in schools.
I think 6-day Creationism is a joke

I believe I can dring a beer after work or while I watch football and it's ok.

That's fair enough but at the end of the day how much of that list which is probably not complete, honestly really matters in the light of knowing our wonderful Lord Savior and us being Gods ambassadors calling to the lost "be ye reconciled to Him who is no longer imputing sin against you" ? .

I believe the 7th Dayers are Christian, but tend to lean into being cult-like. work righteousness is a problem for me
I believe the Catholic church is Christian, but also tends to act like a weird cult at times...(Mostly over the Mary stuff) I agree if that Catholic is ignorant of Catholicism

I believe in eternal damnation
I believe in real wine with the Holy Meal, but it's not that big of deal to me.
I believe we can have women lead in our church. I don't see it in scripture that women can be elders
I dont agree that the Gays should be able to be married, however I do see room for legal civil unions that give the Gays the same rights are normal people.

While I believe a person should be an adult when baptised, I so recognize baby baptism too. I don't see the point but I am not going to be dogmatic
I dont believe for a moment that a child that dies that is unbaptised goes to hell.
I believe the dead church is with the Lord. I call it the liberal church and I believe some are with the Lord.
I believe Jesus rose from the dead in a real body, and one day I will have such an everlasting body too.

I do not believe any of the UFO stories. I do but I don't believe they are little gray men

I believe I can dring a beer after work or while I watch football and it's ok. only because my wife shares your view

I can understand if churches preached about hell but that's not the case-there is no increase but a decrease, churches do not preach about hell in fact many Pastors tell their congregation not to, just tell them Jesus loves you, God loves you. You know the doctrine people prefer and want to hear. Hell is a forgotten doctrine so much so that less than 50% of evangelicals even believe there is a hell or even a devil.
What's tragic here is that in this case hermeneutics isn't even required as the verse and the phrase are self-explanatory. Yet he claims to have some evolved and increased understanding of the Word. Baffling.

Except those who do not and did not believe in Jesus and committed genocide and other horrific crimes unrepentently will stand next to the likes of Mother Theresa in Heaven.
