How about trying to understand something all the way, first? :think: You might as well cast Calvinists after Manson. How can you possible have a friend with the Manson family? Where you are intending to go with this? :think:
:think: there’s even hope for Manson in my heart. On the final day of reckoning, the wheat and the chaff will be separated. But... Jesus DEMANDED they grow together. Why? Because we’re not the reapers with the scythes. Whatever salvational fate may be... the Blood of Jesus was Given by Jesus to All men and is sufficient for All men.
The Gift Provider, provided. The blood of final fate isn’t and should never be on our Crucified Christ’s hands. His blood, that was on His hands... is the blood of loving salvation.
There’s even hope for Manson... who’s dead now, and I wouldn’t even dare to judge him.
All means all, and for me... cheapening the intention is reduction of Mercy. That’s not Universalism... that’s supporting the words that God desires that NONE should perish but ALL should come to eternal life.
Have you ever thought that the Father gave Judas to the Son? Yet, Judas was proclaimed lost by the Son, Himself. If the Father gave something and it was (lost)... which is clearly accounted for... Calvinism has a gaping theological error.
I renounce all theological alliance and submit to John 5:39 alone. I have no boundaries of friendship, but I do become indignant at deceptive words that are “Flowery” and empty the simplicity of “For God so Loved”.
