Seriously though.

Universalism sounds good and I wish it were so but I'm not convinced that it is correct because of the gospel of Christ that persuades me to take heed.

Heed of what?

The dangers of ignoring the message of sin and death and reconciliation/Propitiation. I believe that Ezekiel 18 spells it out quite clearly.
Those who sin and reject propitiation/righteousness "in" Christ shall unfortunately die. (Lose the reward to live in eternity unhindered by time.) And only God knows what He has prepared for us.��

I've grown to appreciate you brother. Are you in Ft. LAUD? If so pm me so we can meet...
If not PM me anyways.��

I think it's obvious I don't believe in eternal torment. I will expound on that in the fullness of time as The Lord leads. I'm hoping others will expound on this as this is one of the few venues I frequent and do appreciate the talent that is here even though I don't always agree with the finger pointing as we all are not perfected yet. I've been considering lately the tares and the wheat.....

Shalom.

Okay. How do you define universalism and how does what you believe differ from it?
