I suggest that you are not reading my earlier posts.
I thought it was addressed but I will attempt again.
Indeed He is the Word. John 1:14
If we repent! 1 John 1:9-10
Its not that that mankind is incapable of repentance but that we choose not to.
And with enough resistance we have this end result. A reprobate mind.
Romans 1
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for
God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that,
when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they
became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I am not demanding anything. I am reading God's word and He alone can demand.
As to your charge of Universalist I plead
not guilty!
Is this universalism?
John 1
29 The next day John seeth
Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world.
And of course I
will not let go of John 3:16
16 For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
And lets look at Isaiah 53
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we shall see him, there is no beauty that
we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of
men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and
we hid as it were
our faces from him; he was despised, and
we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne
our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet
we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for
our transgressions, he was bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of
our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed.
6
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned
every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
I see this meaning more than
some.
I apologize for the long post but trying to be thorough.
