The goats were never chosen or loved by the Father, and therefore were cursed and damned from the beginning !

Mat. 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matt 7:14

[FONT=&]Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and[/FONT]few there be that find it.

Life here I believe is Eternal Life with God throughout Eternity. Its the same Life referred to here Matt 18:8

[FONT=&]Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to [/FONT]enter intolife halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

See the alternative ? Everlasting fire !

Or when Jesus said the young man who asked Matt 19:16

16 [FONT=&]And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Jesus in His reponse says Matt 19:17

[/FONT]
17 [FONT=&]And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Jesus unequivocally states that few will find Life ! Which is Eternal Life.

Now few is in contrast to many. Even though there will be a numerous multitude of saved souls Rev 7:9,10

[/FONT]
[FONT=&]9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
[/FONT]

[FONT=&]10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Its still few, a small fraction of the many many people who have populated the world from its commencement until the last day.

Many false teachers teach universalism, that all men will eventually be saved and enter into life, eternal life, but thats a lie against the truth.

Jesus also says that some shall not see Life Jn 3:36

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life[Eternal Life]; but the wrath of God abideth on him.[/FONT]

[FONT=&]
Folks if Jesus says they shall not see Life, you can believe they shall not see life ![/FONT]

What part of Paul will not see eternal life? referring to doing things against the will/law of his mind concerning the sensory flesh/old man lusting after the things of the flesh no longer being imputed to Paul even though he is still committing the act Romans 7:16-17, these two aspects in man allows all sorts of doctrinal silly putty when its figurative dualism being portrayed as two distinct races Jew and Gentile, they are behavioral characterization based on observable behavior yet both miss the mark equally while dressed in the garb to hide behind or flaunt as God's chosen, Romans 2:28-29.

The wicked in Paul will certainly rise to its self destruction in every man, but Christ in Paul the light that lightest every man coming into this world of death will never go out or stay blind in mortal sleep John 1:9, that is the light/word made flesh, your trying to claim can and will permanently go out for most of God's off spring, religious selective pride is all your teaching through perverted dualism, Galatians 4:22-30, shows the OT is based on mans dualistic natures portrayed in two characters that Romans sevens unravels for you if you have Christ awake enough in you to comprehend spiritual things of the dead letter, that rising is that light in everyone individualized, how many seasons and times it will take to experience scripture only eternity will reveal Ephesians 5:13-14, all things are not possible with men and your trying to help prove that's true for God as well, one big mistake though, this isn't about mans possibilities or some lucky star theology Matthew 19:26.

The Offer

Imagine this scenario. An automobile manufacturer builds a vehicle model which it hopes will become a great success. During testing, however, it becomes apparent that the car suffers from a severe design flaw and would pose an imminent danger to the public were it released for sale. Instead of correcting the flaw, the manufacturer decides it has a better idea; it mentions the flaw on page 122 of the owner’s manual and explains there how the owner can have the defect corrected at the nearest dealership “free of charge”.

Does it appear rather lopsided that the vehicle is sold to unsuspecting customers with little if any mention of the design defect? Does it appear rather absurd that the responsibility for discovering the dangerous defect and having it corrected falls upon the buyer, when the builder could have fixed the problem before taking the car to market?

Only a remnant as most will not repent, they will not let go of the addiction that Satan tempts them with, and rather be under its bondage as a slave to sin. So at the end, will perish.

Matthew 13:40-42 King James Version (KJV)

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

To resolve the conflict with the many verses that claim many are judged and condemned, we must understand that it must mean men of all kinds, from all races (not just Jews) from all walks of life (not just religious scholars), and from mankind of both sexes, not just 'men.'

Unless you are lucky enough to find out about my Son during this lifetime, and even if you are that lucky, if you don’t have the good sense to cooperate with my Son properly before you die, then I am going to raise you from the dead and I will either annihilate you, or sustain you alive in an inescapable state of eternal torment.

Christ's apparent mission: To save from annihilation or eternal torment only those who are lucky enough to hear about Jesus before they die, and also have enough good sense to properly cooperate with Him before they die.

Calvinist

Since there is nothing you can do about it because you are totally depraved and you are not one of the elect, it is obvious that I created most of you for the purpose of either annihilating you or letting you suffer eternal torment. However, I am going to unconditionally choose a few of you to go to heaven where you will be happy forever.

Christ's apparent mission: To let everyone be annihilated, or suffer eternal torment except the unconditionally elected few that He rescues by His irresistible grace.

Universal Reconciliation

Sooner or later, because of what Christ accomplished by His death and resurrection, I am going to save all of you from everything from which you need to be saved, including your stubborn will.

Christ's scriptural mission=

"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world" (1 John 4:14).

Jesus Christ will be completely successful in accomplishing the reason why His Father sent Him.

Jesus Christ IS the Saviour of the world & He will save it!

"It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.

Thats what the false teaching of universalist do. They take scriptures that are for the Elect of God and force them to include alll mankind without exception. Thats wresting scripture to their own destruction if they dont be Gods elect by which He will save them from destruction. Even though Im not 100 % sure, I believe all the elect have been converted in this late hour of world history !

Thats wresting scripture to their own destruction if they dont be Gods elect by which He will save them from destruction. Even though Im not 100 % sure, I believe all the elect have been converted in this late hour of world history !

I think so too !

All the elect ! Few will be saved in Christ. Sure the whole physical creation will be redeemed in conjunction with the Elect Rom 8:19-21

[COLOR=#000000][FONT="]20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,[/FONT]

[FONT="]21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.[/FONT]

-Rom. 11:36-

"From Him everything comes, through Him everything exists and in Him everything ends."

Ta pavnte= the all things.

Ta pavnte = in the absolute sense of the whole of creation, the universe. Of everything in heaven and earth that is in need of uniting and redeeming. From Him ta pavnte comes, through Him ta pavnte exists, and in Him ta pavnte ends.

-Eph. 1:-

"He has made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. And you too, who in Him were made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will."

The all things in the heavens, the all things in the earth, and you who once were dead in trespasses and sins. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one, the ta pavnte en/in Christ.

Ta pavnte = in the absolute sense of the whole of creation, the universe. Of everything in heaven and earth that is in need of uniting and redeeming.

-Col. 1:20-

"God purposed through Him to reconcile the universe to Himself, making peace through His blood...to reconcile to Himself through Him, I say, things on earth and things in heaven. And you..."

The all things (the ta pavnte) in the heavens, the all things (the ta pavnte) in the earth, and you who once were dead in trespasses and sins. God has purposed to reconcile the universe (the ta pavnte) to Himself. The ta pavnte/ the all, encompasses the ta pavnte on the earth and the ta pavnte in the heavens.

The ta pavnte= the all, the whole enchilada.

Ta pavnte = in the absolute sense of the whole of creation, the universe. Of everything in heaven and earth that is in need of uniting and redeeming.
