Warn people about what? They don't believe there is anything to warn people about.
That's my point. Their belief goes against what Paul was doing. When a believer delivers the whole counsel of God, there's God's love and His wrath to be preached. If sinners reject God's love, they will die in their sins; and there's a hell awaiting them.
Since Paul preached the whole counsel of God, he was free from the blood of men if they die in their sins.

Yes, but if one does not believe there is Satan, or hell, then there is nothing to warn people about. Not only did Paul warn people of hell, but Jesus himself did too:
Matthew 13:42: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Matt 25:41: "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." This passage relates to Jesus' judgment of all the world.
Mark 9:43-48: And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." The reference to fire is repeated three more times in the passage for emphasis.
Luke 16:24: "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." This is a plea described as coming from an inhabitant of Hell.
Do Universalists warn people, as Paul did, to be pure from the blood of all men? If so, what are you warning people about?
Acts 20
[26] Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
[27] For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
[28] Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
[29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
[30] Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
[31] Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Paul spoke all of the council of God - not just a part of it - it seems to me that we are to warn that there is judgment. Repeatedly those that do believe in UR say that people reap what they sow and repeatedly those that oppose UR for the sake of opposing it say that we are saying that there is no judgment
What I think happens is that as humans we tend to catch on to part of Gods plan and make it into the total plan calvinism, OSAS, keep the sabbath, works, grace, preterism, futurism etc
There is judgement
The road to destruction does not mean one is damned forever, and simply because there may not be eternal consequenses for ones actions does not make it insignificant.
Jesus' message is in harmony with Paul's -- because the message came from God.
Mark 16
[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
[16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
[18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
[19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
[20] And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
This is why Paul warned men! Damnation awaits sinners. We must repent and be obedient to the LORD.

They don't believe in Satan either?

Once it's revealed to you, ET goes against the entire Bible...
Scripture does not support the UR belief.
