That "Jesus club" mentality is so sad. Again, why is the idea of comforting someone who does not, or never will, believe as you do so out of the realm of your desire? Is it because you believe that your God will abandon those people forever, and so they are of no consequence to you?

I can see the Pharisees sitting around talking to themselves saying - how many of these Christians do you know in real life? One? Maybe Twelve? Thirteen, maybe?

If your trying to fit into a majority Finn_Jarber, then universalism is not for you YET. But one day it will be the majority.

In the other hand bible based Christianity has billions of followers, so wouldn't you agree that God has prevented ur from succeeding, and has enabled Christianity to succeed?
How is it that you believe billions have found the narrow gate that "few will find" and only a few have found the broad gate that is "easy to find?"

Exactly Mystic What they say and what they mean is 2 entirely different things.

All said and done they do not know what they believe, they believe something, but it is certainly not who Jesus Christ IS.

There is no way of knowing who will, and who will not one day believe, so we talk to people who might one day believe. Is there something wrong with that?

You appear to be a master at avoidance of the crux of an issue by playing around the edges of it.

To how many people has God revealed the "truth" of UR? Not many, which leads to believe it is a failure. Either God has failed to reveal this "truth" to mankind, or it is not the truth. Which is it?
