Repped to the umpteenth power!

But He is in one mind, and who can turn Him? and what His soul desireth, even that He doeth...Lo, these are parts of His ways: but how little a portion is heard of Him? but the thunder of His power who can understand? (Job 23:13, 26:14)

You would limit God to your small literal reading and believing group? God is the God of ALL.

Such pride for such a "humble" man. I never said, she is not going to heaven, I said, you can't be a Christian and a universalist.

Hi there Shana...From Him everything (the all/ the ta pavnte) comes, through Him the all exists, and in Him the all/ ta pavnte ends. Our God is the Source, the Guide and the Goal of ALL that is, blessed be His most glorious Name!
Amen! Hi Birdy! So good to hear from you. I don't believe that you have received my last message and I tried the emails that were given, but they did not work. I will try again or may have to correspond through these direct mails. I am praying for you and hoping for your full recovery. God's blessings to you

Sis Shana

Why not according to Fundamentalist's viewpoint? Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I am Christian. I am a Christian who believes in the ultimate restoration of all to God as I believe this is presented in the Christian scriptures. Therefore I am a Christian Universalist, according to what is believed among Christian Universalists. It is what it is whether or not you are able to accept this God bless.

I too believe in the restoration of all things. I point people to Christ, I believe in Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and let God be the judge. As to what I'm called, what does it matter?
