Totally! Thanks my dear brother ❤️

I love the name of your channel. My background with Christianity is in the Arminian camp. I never even knew about Calvinism and what it taught until about 3-4 years ago. The Calvinism of Calvin himself is absolutely repulsive but if you modify it slightly and make atonement unlimited it's beautiful. I think I need to embrace this kind of Calvinist Universalism because I don't trust myself. I think if I were permitted the ability to damn myself eternally and the gates of hell are locked from the inside then that's probably what I would do to myself because I'm an exceedingly harsh self-critic. I need a God who will kick those gates down and rescue me from myself. Any kind of "free will" that would allow me to punish myself forever is a free will I don't want. Give me the Sovereign Love of God instead.

Thanks for your comment. Daniel. It was C.S. Lewis who famously said that the gates of hell are locked from the inside. I love Lewis - but ultimately I think this notion is wrong. On the other hand I completely agree with you that I am glad my salvation doesn't ultimately rest on MY "free will" - but God's! In spite of our fallenness and bent toward the downward spiral of sin - I think Scripture (especially Paul) teaches us that there is something deeply "very good" (Gen.1:31) that remains in every human - "the image of God". Scripture further reveals that Jesus Christ IS that image.... I believe this is the "inner man" of which Paul speaks - and it is in desperate need of redemption and restoration. If you'd like to read more about why I differ with Lewis on this one point, please see: C.S. Lewis, Hell and Human Nature sovereign-love.blog/2020/05/19/embracing-hell-a-response/ Thanks and God Bless! wayne

And what delays sanctification is blending the covernants in your fellowship. This is because we keep believers down by the fear of old covernant rules. If we were controlled by love and we encouraged believers to blossom in a true new covernant way relationship would trump rules to appease God.

I was attending a local Baptist/Calvinist church a few years ago, except that when I joined them, I didn't have a clue what calvinism was. When I found out, the first book I read, to educate myself about calvinism, was WHAT LOVE IS THIS, by Dave Hunt. Strange enough, Dave Hunt is/was an evangelical, yet his book is for everyone and, whether he realised it or not, many of the things he said in his book were very much about universal salvation. May he rest in peace.

Absolutely based

PCUSA is, perhaps not surprisingly, much more inclined to believe in universal reconciliation, or at least no ECT, even if we're not ready yet to openly embrace it. I hope for the day when we will openly speak it.

Im a simple non denominational man that loves the Lord n all the glory goes to God n I stand on the KJV Bible~~Its really not hard of ya take the words how there written I do not like universalism but I do believe i9n the Salvation of All Its biblical n one must study very hard to see this that Gods got a plan He tells us we can know the end from the beginning

Thanks for your comment, Robert... So - are you saying you believe that (in the end) - all WILL be saved? Sorry to have to ask - just not sure I understand what you mean... For myself - I cannot get over, around or under the simple clarity of this statement: "That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him" Eph.1:10 (there are many more - but this and Col. 1:20 are compelling to me, "And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.") Thanks!

I disagree with the man being interviewed about 'free will' because of its affect on faith. I like John Warwick Montgomery's take on faith. His take on faith is that it is a gift that we can use, as all gifts, but for God's grace to save us, we need to use the gift of faith in the direction of God's grace.

Duncan - thanks for your comments. I will try to briefly reply to both here... I (the guy doing the interview, Wayne Fair) cannot speak for Peter ("the man being interviewed") - but I think he would agree that what we are talking about is God's ultimate will and plan. We both believe that humanity has "free will" - at least in some limited degree (this is a huge discussion in and of itself!) - but that God's will cannot and will not be ultimately frustrated - that God will - in the end - get what He wants and desires! What is God's desire and purpose in Christ? "[God is] not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance." 2 Pet.3:9 "who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth" 1 Tim.2:4 "He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment-to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ" Eph.1:9-10 "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." Col. 1:19-20 God WILL ultimately get what He wants - His "Word" (Jesus Christ) will win the day! Jesus did not come to condemn the world - but to save it: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17 "so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 God will do ALL of this while not violating our "agency" or "free will". How? No human can fully answer this - but Jesus answered when asked, "Who then can be saved?" - and said, "with man this is not possible - but with God ALL things are possible" I believe we are all created in God's image - and this image has NOT been destroyed - and this defines our "created" nature (not our "fallen nature" which does not define our "true" selves). Like the prodigal son - when we have come to the end and fultility of our rebellion we will, like him, "come to ourselves" and return to the father... We were made BY Him and FOR Him... Apart from the enslaving deception of Satan and the blindness he has imposed on us - we will by our God-given (created) natures seek the good - which is of course ultimately God... As Augustine said, "Our hearts are restless until they find rest in thee..." - nothing can satisfy what we long for - all the money and pleasure of the world will leave us restless - unsatisfied... Only God can fill that Christ-shaped hole in the center of our being... As all analogies fail at some point - I still think of this in relation to "free will": we are really only "free" to do what is in our natures (e.g. birds fly - not pigs - they have differing "natures") A dog by it nature will be drawn towards eating meat - But a sick dog may refuse it - the problem is not its created nature - but the sickness that has invaded its body... We are like that I beleive: sin has sickened us - even blinded us - and we cannot "see" and be drawn to the Glory and Beauty of God apart from being "healed" - instead we are doomed by our spiritual illness to death. Jesus - the great physician came to heal us - and He will ultimately succeed in doing this - that is God's promise.... Richest Blessing in Christ! wayne

What is a Calvinist universalist? Is it one who holds to the complete sovereignty of God in all things, plus tuip (minus the L)?

But the word of God says that "By their fruit you will know them". If or when one looks at the fruit/tree of calvinism, which is a person (Calvin), we cannot help but realise that this man was a cruel man, who hurt a lot of people, and one would be forgiven to believe that he was very much like the apostle Paul, BEFORE he experienced his radical conversion, on the road to Damascu.

He IS Love- and Love Himself keeps no record of wrongs - endures ALL things… Love NEVER fails ❤️ Therefore “We have put OUR hope in the LIVING God - Who is the Savior of ALL mankind, especially those who believe” (1 Timothy 4:10) Blessings! wayne

@@duncanwashburn Look at Genesis 5. There we see that “image” language is all about a child being an image and likeness of their father… I believe that the scriptures give us good reason to hope for the salvation of all mankind. I beleive that Jesus Christ is the last Adam - The "first" Adam brought sin and death into the world and brought "condemnation for all people" (Romans 5:18) Jesus will do no less - "so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people." (Romans 5:21) Neither the first or the last asked our permission to do what they did... and what they did has a profound influence upon all mankind... Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8) - godless... And he did this not merely to make an "offer" of salvation - but to save us through the Sovereign Power of His Lordship. In fact Paul says that even BEFORE we come to faith we are reconciled, "while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son..." Romans 5:10 The Gospel is not first and foremost an invitation - it is a proclamation summarized best in the words "Jesus IS Lord!" All who make this confession do so by the power of the Holy Spirit ("no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit" - 1 Cor.12) Paul twice says that "every knee will bow, and every tongue confess" that 'Jesus is Lord!' to the glory of God the Father...(Phlp.2:10-11 and Romans 14:11) God's ultimate purpose is (to me) most succinctly expressed in the words of Ephesians 1: "9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment-to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." Colossians 1 tells us that this "all things" are all created things - made in, by and for Jesus Christ. Then we - again - are given the sweeping and ultimate purposes of God that will not fail: "19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." I believe that every human born is fearfully and wonderfully made in God's image (and that somehow this image IS the imprint of Jesus Christ on us all - who IS the image of God) - and that we are "all His offspring" (or "children" as the Amplified dares to translate the word). Yes - we are fallen - sinners - deserving of death ("the wages of sin") - we have been deceived and blinded by the god of this world - taken captive to do his will... and yet - the image remains - and we remain His children - We are all like prodigals who have gone our own way - but someday after either a hell of our own making - or a hell into which we are cast for purification and refinement - we will (as the prodigal) "come to ourselves" and return to the Father... Yes - this is what I believe - I cannot unsee what I have seen ❤

@@MrHwaynefair I would not be disappointed if you are correct. As to the children and their fathers' point you started with ... it's the Mormons that believe their god was a man once, just like implying that our the image is the same as God's in the manor you suggest, imo. I highly doubt the image similarity of father/child is the same as being created in the image of God, that's why I think (that which I think I see that I may or may not be able to unsee) is the triune similarity. Surely we aren't eternal from the past, are we, like God? In your opinion, what does it mean to 'perish' in John 3:16? What does it mean for some to be condemned in verses 18-21? As to the prodigal: what if he died in the pig pen? Would he have enjoyed the sonship he went back to after repenting and trusting in the mercy of the father? It's hard to take a parable and make too much out of it, imo. You seem to think that because we are all part of the family of humanity, we are all part of the family of God.

@@duncanwashburn My understanding is nothing like the Mormons - I do not believe that God was once like us and then became a god... God is the eternal Triune Being who exists in three persons - Father, Son and Spirit. My point about Genesis 5 is that it is significantly the FIRST place the same language of "image" and "likeness" are used after God's creation of man - and this should give us a strong sense of what is intended: Adam had a son, Seth - "in his own image and likeness". We are ALL the "offspring" (children!) of God. Acts 17:28-29 Many verses can be quoted to counter this claim (Like Luke 8:21) - e.g. that we are "children of the devil", etc. But I will allow NONE to over-ride this fundamental Truth of our Being... they must be reordered to this creational Truth - not the other way around... I find the paradox most wonderfully expressed in Jesus words, "that you might become children of YOUR heavenly Father" - Do you see this? God IS our Father - yet we need to "become" what we are! It is like the fact that we ARE reconciled (Romans 5) - but now we need to BE reconciled (2 Cor.5) Who IS the eternal "image of God"? Jesus Christ - eternally begotten of the Father... Col.1:15 - Again, I believe it is specifically the Image of Christ is what is stamped on every human being - He is the Archetype of humanity ("the Son of Man" who came down - and then ascended). We are ALL (apart from faith) "perishing" - wasting away -even "condemned" - but that is far from the final Word that God has to say about us In Christ. Consider the meaning of "lost" - as in lost sheep, etc. - or "lost" and "dead" prodigal son (which is what his father said of him) It comes from the Greek word, Transliteration: apollumi Definition: to destroy, destroy utterly. THINK about this - "lost" sheep and "lost" prodigals are not GOING to be "lost" - THEY ARE LOST! That means they are already literally (in some sense - perhaps especially spiritually) utterly destroyed! AND YET! God is the God of the impossible - and His Love marshals ALL the Sovereign power of God to insure that NONE of His sheep REMAIN lost - He will search for even one - "until it is found"! THIS is the Love I trust in! Oh Love that will not let me go! "God is NOT willing that ANY should perish" "God desires that ALL should be saved..." God WILL get what God so passionately desires!

@MrHwaynefair

Жыл бұрын

Yes - only by ignoring many other passages of scripture can you maintain that we are all "totally depraved". We are all sinners - infected with the fatal "virus" of sin - But this far from removes our agency - nor does it remove or destroy our having been made in the image of God. I believe that we have a "bent" towards sin (much as Jewish theologians understand the yetzer hara) - that "sin lieth at the door" , etc. I believe that Paul describes our condition in Romans 7 (and this is not about backslidden Christians) - that apart from those who embrace depravity (Romans 1) we have desires to do the good - but apart from Christ are not able to perform it (with any consistency). Only Christ can deliver us "from this body of death", etc.

For anyone bothered by Calvinism, watch "Romans 9 decalvinized" (and many other videos) by Beyond the fundamentals. Calvinism is philosophy, not Bible. So is Arminianism by the way. You don't have to agree with everything, but it becomes pretty clear that Calvinism is nothing more than a man-made philosophy and completely unscriptural.

Faith is a gift from Christ. And God hates the workers of iniquity (Psalm 5), although God loves contextually through His son (John 3:16).

@MrHwaynefair

Yes - God both hates and loves - both perspectives are "true" - but, above all - God IS Love ❤️(not Hate) Romans 5: 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: *While we were still sinners, Christ died for us* 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, *while we were God’s enemies* we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

It is true that all in Adam will be made alive in Christ. However, the issue with Calvinism is that they have mistakenly focused on a platonic idea of heaven and hell. Everyone is going to be raised from the dead. God is the savior of all people from death. However, being saved from the first death is not enough to be saved from the second death as Jesus said, “to everyone, who has, more will be given. To him who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away”

I am sorry - but I honestly do not have the time to enter into a long and protracted debate over these things. If you do not believe in the ultimate reconciliation and restoration of all things - that's your right and privilege. I fully acknowledge that certain passages of Scripture can be weaponized against Historic Christian Universalism - but, in the end, I find that the many passages that speak of the ultimate salvation of all humanity to far outweigh the alternative. Above all that God's Love, revealed in Christ, will fully accomplish all that He was sent to do: "For God did not send his Son *[the "Word" of John 1]* into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:17 "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 The ultimate purpose of God is not an eternally divided world - but one that is reconciled - brought together into perfect peace and harmony: "and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." - Col.1:20 This is ultimately my guiding rule of interpretation: try to out-imagine the Love of Christ! "17...And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge" - Eph.3 Thanks - and God Richly Bless You! wayne

Let each one take care how he builds upon it. [11] For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw-[13] each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. [14] If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. [15] If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Those “works” being built on the foundation are people, Wayne. Be careful. It really is people, not our “good works” that are being burnt up. See below.

@@PizzaDisguise I appreciate your concern and covet your prayers: I would rather be struck down than preach a false gospel! But I must ask you why you add to the plain text of Scripture (not to mention Plato)? Nowhere does the Bible say that "God is the Saviour of all from the first death" - No, it simply says, God "is the Saviour of all men" (while elsewhere in Revelation it speaks of a "second death") - Nor does 1 Cor.3:10-15 speak of "people" as that which is consumed by the "fire". Even here there are hints of our Father's mercy and grace: "though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire". As Jesus said, we "will all be salted with fire"... I realize that when it comes to the plain text and most apparent meaning we will be confronted by paradoxes - e.g. when Jesus says if we would follow Him we must "hate your father and mother" - yet elsewhere commands us to love even "your enemies". So it is the case that between those many passages that speak of universal reconciliation and those like Revelation that speak of those who will be cast into the lake of fire (the second death). For me when genuinely facing this enormous paradox/enigma in scripture - I cannot and will not let what is said in Revelation rob me of the joyous assurance of the truly Good News of God's complete victory over sin and Satan - that, in the end, God will be "all in all".... Here are some of the many passages that speak of this hope (with no comment or interpretation added): “And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”” Luke 2:10-11(ESV) “Behold the Lamb of God - who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29 (NAB) “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2 (NIV) “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.” John 12:32 (NASV) “for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and ALL are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23 (NIV) “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” Rom.5:6 (NIV) “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom.5:8(NIV) “For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Rom.5:10(NIV) “Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.” Rom.5:18(NIV) “I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved.” Rom.11:25-26 (NIV) “For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.” Rom.11:32 Psalm 106:1, “Praise the LORD!
