Since you firmly believe that ALL will be in the Kingdom of GOD, then why did you abandon your native religion, Catholicism? You say "youWhen I was a Catholic I too believed in forever punishment. Verses such as Matthew 25:46 terrified me. Fortunately, but the grace of God, he brought me out of that false system and I began reading the Bible and listening to countless people discussing God and the Bible. I now firmly believe that ALL will be in our Father's Kingdom. I want to share why I believe this.
Not only many may disagree with you, the problem is that it is the Word of GOD who disagree with you, the Word is GOD, understand? Your thinking is from a human perspective, a stumblingblock, not from GOD's perspective. Matthew 16:13-17 and 21-23, take a look.I know most will disagree and I hope that we can nevertheless remain brothers in Christ. Here is the first verse among many that I will share to demonstrate that ALL will be in God's Kingdom!
Ephesians 1:9-11
English Standard Version
9 making known[a] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
What does the Word of GOD say?According to this scripture, it is God's will that ALL THINGS be united to him. It was/is Jesus's mission to do so. Everything is worked out according to God's will.
There are many more scriptures to share but I wanted to start with this.
What does the Word of GOD say?If you notice, Christ was sent forth "as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in Christ."
What was the plan? The plan is all that believed in Him would be delivered to the Father spotless, body, soul, and spirit.
That is God's plan of redemption at work, and all that He promised to those who love Him.
Christ said, narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there be that find it.
It's all of His plan in Christ that is united, and many exclude themselves by rejecting Christ and thereby rejecting the plan.
GOD said: Genesis 1:26 -> And GOD said, Let us make man in OUR image (GOD Father and JESUS), after our likeness: -> But JESUS was not known at that time or around 6,000 years ago; Genesis 1:26 only happened or JESUS was known only 4,000 years after Adam, or 2,000 years ago. ->JESUS said:This is also what Calvin ignored, though it was there for him to see.
God predestined man to a plan to be conformed into the image of Christ. His redemptive plan.
God did not predestine the individual of His choosing for salvation, that is pagan!
GOD said: Genesis 1:26 -> And GOD said, Let us make man in OUR image (GOD Father and JESUS), after our likeness: -> But JESUS was not known at that time or around 6,000 years ago; Genesis 1:26 only happened or JESUS was known only 4,000 years after Adam, or 2,000 years ago. ->JESUS said:
That said, it was still the fourth Day:-> JESUS said: -> My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.-> That said, now we are exactly at the turn from the sixth to the seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium. Genesis 1:31->And GOD saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.-> Then only now, even now, from now on, at the turn from the sixth to the seventh and last Day,GOD will make MAN in His image by the Lord JESUS Christ His EXPRESSED IMAGE(Hebrews 1:3).->And 1Corinthians 15:45-49 and 51-55 say:
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
That said, only from now on will be fulfilled LITERALLY Genesis 1:26-27, as follow:
26 GOD said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
27 So GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD created he Him(by JESUS); male and female created He them.
Philippians 3:20-21:
20 For our conversation is in heaven(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-10 and so on); from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall CHANGE our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body(Genesis 1:26-27), according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself.-> Matthew 28:18, take a look.
Daniel 12:1-3 combined with 1Thessalonians 4:15-18:-> 15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel(MICHAEL), and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds(in the third heaven that will be established from now on->2Corinthians 12:2-4, take a look, the FIRST and SECOND heavens will be burned with fire for everlasting time), to meet the Lord in the air (in the third heaven that will be established from now on): and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Revelation 4:1 -> After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven(heaven?Ephesians 1:3-10, and so on): and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Then you 'BETTER GET READY!', LOL.
OSEAS3 just keeps spewing SDA demonic vomit.
With universalism truth doesn't matter. Existence exists and doesn't need anything. 1 + 1 = 2 proves universalism is a lie.
Then you 'BETTER GET READY!', LOL.
