1 | Is Universalism Scriptural | Lev 16:34 | nicko715 | 198774 | ||
Doc, I must admit, you have me on that first one. I did ask the question and you did provide the answer. However, about "not interested in orthodox interpretations", what I mean is that there are plenty of "Biblical theologies" out there. If Martin Luther had cared only about the Catholic interpretation we wouldn't have Protestants. Calvin didn't care about the Armenianest traditions, etc. To go one step further, Jesus didn't really care about the traditions of the Pharisees which were the learned men in the Jewish tradition. So what I mean to say about "not interested" is that just because it has been taught that way for awhile doesn't mean it is right. Secondly, I am not trying to be argumentative with my question. I brought it up because in that string there was "discussion" over Armenianism and Calvinism, but both sides made it clear that Universalism wasn't scriptural. All three sides have scripture to support them (even if out of context) so why is Universalism dismissed so easily? Finally, I do not mean to upset anyone or stir up trouble (though to be honest, saying God will reconcile all often has that effect). Thank you for your response. I see from your profile that you attempt to help many with their questions and have done so with me as well. If I offended I apologize. Nick |

2 | Is Universalism Scriptural | Lev 16:34 | DocTrinsograce | 198778 | ||
Dear Nick, Offending me is a matter of no consequence. Who we must honor is the Lord. Every road has two ditches. Be careful not to condemn something you've not studied, lest you find yourself in direct opposition to the work of the Holy Spirit. (Proverbs 18:3; Acts 5:39; Matthew 23:1-3) You asked, "Why is universalism dismissed so easily?" In a nutshell: It is rejected easily (by those who hold to sola Scriptura) because it is clear from Scripture that not everyone is saved. Let us allow this old thread to fade back into forum history. The majority of the participants have long since ceased to post. In Him, Doc |
