Along with Homer and Christopher, who quoted He 9:27-28,
Homer wrote:Hebrews 9:27-28 (New King James Version)
27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28. so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
(as) We die a physical death once, we face judgement once, (so) Christ died for us once, never to be repeated. The bible knows nothing of repeated judgement(s), any more than it knows of Jesus repeatedly dying for us. Or do the Universalists think the condemned get a pass later without a judgement? After all, they say they will be saved "just like us".
First, in my new thread I'll show how universalism doesn't teach "salvation" at all, with the exception of those who believe before they die. Universalsists are more or less 'traditional' on that part, as far as I know [Christians, who believe while they're alive go to heaven]...though the other things universalists believe present many, many problems, even if they agree with 'traditional' Christian teachings in part.
The Bible also knows nothing of "being sent to Hell as a 'corrective' experience" in which God will (eventually, how long, who knows?) bring those who are in Hell out of it, in order that they may be with Him forever.
Agreed, Homer: There won't be any other new "pass" to escape judgment other than 'faith-before-you-die' in Jesus and the sacrifice of He made on our [and everyone's] behalf.
The Bible never says anything that could be interpreted to mean, "You can choose to be a Christian after you die." It's simply not there. It might be nice [or what have you] if it was, but it's not.
Universalists have been saying, "Unbelievers will be saved just like us," meaning that, after being sent to Hell for however long, they will confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. Nothing in the Bible says anything remotely about this as being possible or becoming a
potential reality. For one thing, the unbelievers who get sent to Hell will NOT have been saved! (as all Christians always have, are, and will be). Universalism denies
this salvation---which is biblical salvation! and the only salvation it teaches!---is needed to be with God forever.
One life, one death, one judgment.
Believe now before it is too late!
