The truth is that if hell is real than Christian Universalists are risking their own souls in teaching what we do in order to remove the fear and torment of hell from people who suffer in this world because of the doctrine of ET. So, any true Universalist is braving the threat already by their own volition. And not only separation from God in hell after life, but anathema and curses from the organized Christian community as an whole in this life. I know men who have lost everything they have worked for in their ministries because of their vocalizing and teaching their hope and faith in the doctrine of UR. Brave and enduring men and women indeed.
I'm just curious to know how many universalists are there? What is your church called? I've been a Christian for many years and I've never heard of the "universalists" before a few days ago. I had no idea that people who claim to be Christians don't believe in hell.

I believed in hell 100% for many years , then i began to see the true nature and character of God through the scriptures, which transformed my mind , which i credit the Lord for , though many who are evangelical about eternal torment would say i am deceived of the devil , which is fine by me .

I knew nothing of "universalism" as a label until recently but even earlier in my life than that I had a heart to heart with God... My outlook on life changed, my marriage changed, my relationship with others in general took on new meaning... and I knew that God would not let anyone suffer in the Christian Hell BECAUSE he IS love (1 John 4:7) and he wants all to come to him. He WILLS it to be so.
Micah 7:19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
It is the iniquities that are thrown in the "lake of fire"... anything that does not conform to the book of "life" is removed and you are sculpted anew by your creator.
Once you remove the majority christian idea of hell from the gospel you will see God in a new light.
Romans 9:16 It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.
This is the verse that impacted me most. The mercy of God is what determines salvation and God will have mercy on all.
Romans 11:32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

I learned a lot from Romans. Sorry to ramble.
Not rambling
Regardless of what I believe, I like to learn more about other people's beliefs. I was talking with my mother the other day and she's never heard of UR either. She's been a Christian for over 30 years.
If you don't go to church, where do you meet other universalists? Where do you get "fed"?
Universalists don't go to church? Is that what you are saying?
No i don't .
I feel a Hebrews 10 verse 25 coming at me
