Steve7150, You wrote: You're an interesting guy Homer since when you call Steve on the air you sound so reasoned and thoughtful yet on this topic you just can't grasp anything other then eternal hell for almost everyone who has ever lived.

Re: Any Hope?

Hi David, You asked: So you are answering "no" to my original question, correct? That dead unbelievers have no hope of salvation? Yes, I believe they have no "hope". But in some ways I am perhaps more liberal than my Universalist friends. I say they have no hope but they do have a possibility. Perha...

Re: Any Hope?

David, I will answer no and explain some of my reasons when I have time. I may be the only one posting here who will say no, or who believes the answer is no and has any interest in saying so. I believe the parable of the "unmerciful servant" is a clear "no" when understood as Jesus intended. More r...

Re: Infinite offense = Infinite punishment?

Hi Josh, Welcome to the forum! I suspect the argument over "finite sin"/"infinite punishment" is an ancient one. It is, however, a very weak argument for universalism because it does not take into consideration that sins are "unbounded events", that is, events in time are infinite in their effects. ...

Excerpt from Wright vs. Reynolds Debate

Here is an excerpt I transcribed from the Wright (atheist) vs. Reynolds (Christian) debate (see under Christian Evidences and Challenges category): Wright: Could I ask you a question in terms of reasonable? Do you believe a Buddhist who lives a morally exemplary life does not go to heaven because he...

Debate on the Existence of God

There was a very interesting debate on today's Hugh Hewitt program with the author of the popular book "The Evolution of God", Robert Wright of the New Republic vs. John Mark Reynolds, professor of philosophy, Biola University, and of course, Hugh Hewitt. The program can be heard if you go to http:/...

Re: In todays evangelical world....

Jim,

That would fit in with communion which has become a private moment of introspection rather than a communal celebration. Not much communion in communion. :(

God bless, Homer

Re: 1 Timothy 2:11-15 and 1 Corinthians 14:33-40 revisited

Danny, Considering "Junia - the First Woman Apostle", pages 34-35, I am surprised to find that someone found enough information to write even 10 pages about him/her. Apparently the only solid information we have is: Romans 16:7 (New King James Version) 7. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my countrymen an...

Re: Head Coverings

Hi Matt, You wrote: Is long hair on a man universally disgraceful? Seemingly not. Paul, at times, had long hair. I presume you are referring to Paul's vow, Acts 18:18. This probably is no help in regard to your questions. It is assumed Paul's vow was a Nazarite vow which could have been for 30 days....

John 6:37-40 and Universalism

I do not recall the following statement of Jesus ever being mentioned in our long discussion of universalism. It would seem to clearly rule out any possibility of post-resurrection conversions: John 6:37-40 (New King James Version) 37. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who co...
