Send us a textUniversal salvation: a beacon of hope or a path to heresy? This episode pulls no punches as we tackle the contentious belief that all people will ultimately be saved, dissecting it through the lens of scripture. We unravel this doctrinal debate by examining the persistent biblical themes of division between God's people and those who are not, drawing on narratives like Cain and Abel and Jacob and Esau. Throughout our discussion, we challenge the interpretations of universalists, contrasting them with more traditional theological perspectives such as Calvinism, and question how they reconcile their views with scriptural references to hell and eternal punishment.Our exploration doesn't stop there. We delve into the crucial biblical concept of division between the righteous and unrighteous, bringing into focus scriptures like Luke 12:51-53. By comparing figures like David and Saul, Moses and Pharaoh, and Peter and Judas, we underscore the biblical stance that salvation is not universal. We highlight the necessity of repentance and redemption in this life to avoid eternal condemnation, emphasizing humanity's inherent guilt before God. This leads us to Titus 2:14, which we interpret as evidence that Christ's sacrifice was intended for a select "us," rather than all, reinforcing the notion of a divide between God's chosen ones and others.Finally, we shift to the doctrine of divine election, examining how being chosen by Jesus creates an inherent tension with the world. Through scriptures in Galatians and John, we explore the distinction between the "children of promise" and others, illustrating that believers are set apart. This discussion touches on the problematic desire some Christians have for worldly acceptance, urging allegiance to God over societal approval. By reflecting on John 17, where Jesus prays for those given to him by the Father, we further underscore the theme of divine selection and the spiritual divide it creates. Come join us on this thoughtful journey through the complexities of salvation and divine choice.Support the show

Send us a textUniversal salvation: a comforting myth or a dangerous deception? Brace yourselves as we confront this bold and controversial belief head-on, challenging the notion that everyone, regardless of their faith or actions, will ultimately be saved. We argue that this belief undermines the core teachings of scripture and the true purpose of the gospel. By exploring the necessity of repentance and turning to Christ, we underline the severity of eternal life and death, warning against the false comfort that universalism offers.Join us in examining the theological and biblical perspectives that distinguish the saved from the unsaved. We navigate through the narratives of Cain, Saul, Nebuchadnezzar, and Judas to highlight the fallacy of the universalist view that all people belong to the same spiritual family. By questioning universalist interpretations and emphasizing faith through hearing the word of God, we invite listeners to ponder the gravity of rejecting the gospel's message. Our discussion aims to provide a deeper understanding of salvation's implications, asserting that the truth of the gospel remains unaltered despite modern misconceptions.Support the show

I'm wrapping up this review of David Bentley Hart's book, That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation. And I hope you understand, particularly those of you who are Christians that are listening to this, that I do all of this in the name of the Father. It's not to tear down Christianity. It's to uphold the mission of the Messiah, which has been lost over the past several hundred years of Christianity.

The idea that the God Above All Gods would condemn people to everlasting torment with no goal other than eternal punishment makes no moral or logical sense. It goes against the very nature of a loving and just God.

Even Mr. Spock would find it logical for a human to pursue the good in its own best interests, and that it is illogical, illogical all the way to insanity, to refuse the good, to refuse what is best for you. It's a manifestation of insanity, to refuse the love of God. I've noticed that many modern people seem to think of God as a yin-yang type of completion, that is, where evil balances good, where darkness is necessary to balance light, where the purpose of humanity, or what happens here in humanity, is that we are instantiating strife and struggle and evil for the teaching of God, for the completion of God. That is not right. That's wrong theology, folks. Our God is all goodness, and there is no evil that emanates from God.

This idea that most everyone and everything is going to hell rather than going to heaven is a relatively recent addition to Christianity, but it has been grasped so firmly with the great assistance of the Catholic Church and their doctrines that by now most Christians think that most people won't go to heaven. So even the Protestants who protest Catholicism—that's what the word Protestant means, one who protests—they've lost the original thread of universal salvation that Jesus was teaching. The Anointed came to save everyone, it says over and over in the New Testament.

We discuss universal salvation, a perennial idea within Christianity – that all of humanity, or maybe even everything in the universe, will be saved through Christ's salvific atonement – with Morwenna Ludlow of the University of Exeter. Starting from Clement of Alexandria and ending with the current state of play in sometimes-unlikely Christian circles, we explore the long history of an esoteric (and sometimes not so esoteric) Christian idea.

In this series of podcasts (Episodes 126—131), Dr. Oord discusses and explains the many "love advantages" of Open and Relational thought.

Following the previous episode about the Kingdom of God, Jeremy and Jonathan felt it would be helpful to address the idea of salvation for those outside the fold of Christianity. What happens to those in the end that do not confess Jesus as Lord?

Full Text of ReadingsFeast of Saint Luke, evangelist Lectionary: 661All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint LukeLuke wrote one of the major portions of the New Testament, a two-volume work comprising the third Gospel and Acts of the Apostles. In the two books he shows the parallel between the life of Christ and that of the Church. He is the only Gentile Christian among the Gospel writers. Tradition holds him to be a native of Antioch, and Paul calls him “our beloved physician.” His Gospel was probably written between 70 and 85 A.D. Luke appears in Acts during Paul's second journey, remains at Philippi for several years until Paul returns from his third journey, accompanies Paul to Jerusalem, and remains near him when he is imprisoned in Caesarea. During these two years, Luke had time to seek information and interview persons who had known Jesus. He accompanied Paul on the dangerous journey to Rome where he was a faithful companion. Luke's unique character may best be seen by the emphases of his Gospel, which has been given a number of subtitles: 1) The Gospel of Mercy 2) The Gospel of Universal Salvation 3) The Gospel of the Poor 4) The Gospel of Absolute Renunciation 5) The Gospel of Prayer and the Holy Spirit 6) The Gospel of Joy Reflection Luke wrote as a Gentile for Gentile Christians. His Gospel and Acts of the Apostles reveal his expertise in classic Greek style as well as his knowledge of Jewish sources. There is a warmth to Luke's writing that sets it apart from that of the other synoptic Gospels, and yet it beautifully complements those works. The treasure of the Scriptures is a true gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church.

“The Ultimate danger is that progressive Christianity can send a person to hell.”Those were the words of Franklin Graham of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.If there ever was an oxymoron, the term progressive Christianity is the ultimate. CHRISTIANITY IS CHRISTIANITY. It is what it is, means what it says, cannot be reinterpreted or interpreted away. Christianity is a belief system, with standards and values which one accepts or rejects. It cannot be “cherry-picked”, one cannot take some and leave others. CHRISTIANITY IS ALL OR NOTHING! But, it is indeed progressive, radical, revolutionary, life-changing, even radical in terms of faith, hope and love. Mankind in its infinite wisdom cannot make it better, soften, as one so-called progressive, woke thinker said the “hard edges of Christianity” to make it easier, more adaptable to current culture and broader in terms of inclusion. In fact, Christianity is exclusive, excluding what it clearly terms “sinners” and non-believers and rather than a broad gate and lane of welcoming: Straight and narrow is the way.And there is only one way and that is absolute faith and commitment to the God of the Bible and all out commitment to Jesus Christ.There is, says writer Michael Brown, now in current culture, the so-called gay rights revolution. That movement sought to normalize same-sex relationships, completely expand, even change the definition of, morality, and fashioned today the category of LGBTQ(IA)+ with even more to come. No matter that up to the late 20th century, when major Christian denominations believed and taught that same-sex relationships and marriage were wrong and according to the Bible “sinful”, LGBTQ fought for complete change in sexual and moral behavior, a movement in the forefront of today's culture where “anything goes”. To disagree with anything gay at work was to champion HATE, flagrant discrimination the movement said and it determined at every turn to silence or punish those who exercised freedom of speech and spoke out against the new moral revolution and lifestyle in favor of the old biblical standards of morality. Today, it seems that so many Christians, Jews, and even Muslims, the sacred writings of each condemning such a lifestyle, are silenced, intimidated and refused to speak out. Even though LGBTQ is a small minority of the population, it has become loud, vocal, even championed by high tech, digital (Facebook and Comcast among others) and it has clout far beyond its representation. In some cases, it demands inclusion in the Christian church, even though the lifestyle is condemned. This progressive approach, the widening of the road, the narrow road which leads to salvation, is an objective which would include far more and broaden beyond scripture the doctrine of salvation. It is said by Lutzer, the essential goodness and understanding of human nature today as something equally important to determining salvation and morality as the requirements and demands of scripture itself. Man over God or at least co-equal with God, in terms of truth and interpretation. Franklin Graham is right. This so-called progressive Christianity can lead a believer therein “straight to hell”.We should today expect that my fellow Christian, the apostle Paul warned us in2 Timothy 4 that: “the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth.”Surely you know, as I do, that is exactly what is happening today. The Bible is old, crusty, musty, written for ancient times, out of touch, UNWOKE, greatly in need of reinterpretation and modernization so as to be acceptable by all human kind in this radical PROGRESSIVE culture. NOT ME AND MINE. As for my house, my family, my company, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD OF THE BIBLE! What about you?Progressive Christianity denies the concept of original sin. Humankind they say is innately good, born good. Wrong according to the Bible.The new woke Christianity simply does not believe in the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ, the blood. There is no need for the unnecessary and mythological doctrine of salvation. The cross of Christ and the blood are totally unnecessary.Progressive Christianity denies the existence of hell. Woke Christianity expands the doctrine of marriage to include almost anything. The movement centers around a global attempt to effectuate so-called UNIVERSAL SALVATION. It champions social justice far more so than any doctrine of individual or personal salvation.It rejects the concept of sin and the need for redemption. It just seems amazing that these radical, woke, progressive individuals would even bother with Christianity. Why not be totally honest, progressives, and deny anything and everything Christian.Be not deceived, progressives. GOD IS NOT MOCKED. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. I WILL REPAY. Perhaps it is the ultimate sin (unforgiveable?), the denial of the true God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and the substitution of the so-called intelligence of mankind and the re-write, the fundamental change-over of the Bible of old. Now comes to life, the words in the book of Judges: “They (mankind) did what was right in his or her own eyes.”The bottom line, my fellow Christian, and for every Jew and even Muslim, is that the all-out war against: PEOPLE OF FAITHhas begun and moves full speed ahead. You stand up, and do so NOW, Christian, or the faith of our fathers, the truth of ONE GOD may well be extinguished forever. More than ever, now, you and I must FIGHT THE FIGHT OF FAITH. We must stand for biblical truth, ALL OF IT. There can be no exceptions, no interpretations, no cherry-picking. Scripture and the Christian way of life is ALL OR NOTHING. This still remains the right way, the only way: THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!

Various questions on Molinism and Middle Knowledge and the likelihood of Pontius Pilate releasing the body of Jesus to Joseph of Arimathea.

What Is Universal Salvation: With Michael McClymondIn this video, Michael McClymond is with us to discuss the doctrine of universal Salvation. In this video, Michael McClymond will equip us with a strong orthodox apologetic for reaching those who embrace universal salvation. Specifically the branch of universalism that has snuck into modern evangelical churches "Christian universalism". Michael McClymond will give us the origins, theological errors, and erroneous philosophical assumptions found in Christian Universalism in order to rescue those who hold such a dangerous position. As many of you know we find the doctrine of universal salvation to be reprehensible and heterodox to the Christian faith. Many leaders, even friends of ours, have moved closer and closer to completely eradicating the punitive wrath of God until the God they worship is an Idol of their own making and not the God of the Bible. This trend appears to increase year by year and an episode like this is probably past due. Donate (Paypal)https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6___________________________________________________________________________________Exclusive Content (Patreon)https://www.patreon.com/TheRemnantRadio__________________________________________________________________________________We're social! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRemnantRadioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theremnantradio/___________________________________________________________________________________Our Favorite Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/shop/theremnantradio___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Rowntree's Church Bridgewayhttps://www.bridgewaychurch.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Miller's Church Reclamation Churchhttps://reclamationdenver.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes__________________________________________________________________________________The Gospel Of Mark Group Packets https://the-remnant-radio.creator-spring.com/listing/the-gospel-of-mark-workbooks__________________________________________________________________________________Download Free Ebookhttp://eepurl.com/hSCQRv
