    This guy describing churches of Christ is pretty lame. “About a hundred years old?” No its movement is 200 years old and a central part of the 2nd Great Awakening. Some truth to what he says about focusing on scripture and independence. And generally don’t care about the patristics. However the former is true of innumerable groups (Presbyterians, Baptists, etc). And there are many CoC scholars and ministers who use theology and philosophy. But, of course, Hart is generally right about universalism.

    I would really appreciate it if someone told me how Dr. Bentley comes to grips with Marc 9:44 (ὅπου ὁ σκώληξ αὐτῶν οὐ τελευτᾶι καὶ τὸ πῦρ οὐ σβέννυται). If this "worm" stands for the suffering of hell, as I believe it does, is it not clear that this involves a never-ending process (οr rather state?). Mark that it is a "worm" the text is talking about, and I think the metaphor does not admit of any benign allegory like "fire", which I guess could possibly switch from consuming and burning to warming and illuminating. I guess I will have to read the book, but I would nevertheless find a hint in advance very helpful! Thank you all!

      I guess Jesus was talking about the literal worms in Gehenna and the literal fire of Gehenna of the literal corpses that were thrown down there. Nowadays Gehenna is a beautiful green valley with no corpses and no fire. That "ending" was the worse for a hebrew of those times because you didn't had a tomb or a name, you perished nameless. So it's a metaphor of how many people won't enter the New Jerusalem but remain without a Name outside as a corpse burning in shame and anger, seeing the Fathers entering and you being left outside. Definitely I see we both agree it's used as a parable. But the important part of Mark 9 is when Jesus says "For everyone shall be salted by fire, have peace therefore with one another". Salvific fire. That's what hell is about, and we all suffer it in some way.

    He's so right here. I've thought this for some time, but lack DBH's gift for presenting the problem - that of analogy. The goodness presented by the infernalist God seems so far removed from my idea of goodness that worshipping him as such would render all of my moral intuitions absolutely worthless. I'd feel like somebody with a stiff smile, agreeing that the DPRK is democratic.

    I think a big thing that people are having a hard time grabbing onto this is, what if they are wrong and it happens to them? and even if they hide It in other things, I think that is a big mountain, but Jesus spoke of a furnace and said to fear not, also we are told we are worth more than many sparrows, Implying to my understanding that is about human beings, and another thing Jesus uses the old testament, He brings it up, things that the jews already knew of, and God called the slavery in Egypt "an iron smelting furnace" Proverbs 17:3 The crucible for silver, the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart, God is Love.

God will show you He is a trinity, and He is Universalist only if you humble yourslef. You are right, religion has made it so hard that is why Jesus preached so hard on these people. Here you have the verses you ask for and Christianity willingly avoids: "Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came //to all men//, resulting in justification of life." Rom5:18 They are not faithful to scripture: "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. These things COMMAND AND TEACH."1Tim4:9-11 THEY JUST DON'T COMMAND AND TEACH THIS, BECAUSE THEY ARE UNFAITHFUL, BUT AT LEAST THEY TRY, THEY ARE HUMAN. Paul wrote that at the end of his life by the way, exhorting Timothy to look for fair and sane doctrine, which what you asked for. ------------------- Another fair point is God literally created this world as test/first-hell, which Christianity denies. That is why He won't give you the answers before you make your test: "Where is the "scribe", where is the "wise", hasn't God made foolish the Wisdom of this age(Eon)? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe" 1Co1:20 YOU ARE NOT GIVEN THE ANSWER BY DUMB THEOLOGIANS AKA PARROTS 🦜🦜🦜 I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD WHY...

    Everybody who is not saved by trusting in Jesus Christ while alive goes to hell forever. There is an abundance of scripture to support this. I used to be in the faith, but now I hate God and I'm also dying, I know that I will go to hell forever when I die, and I know I have a demonic Spirit living in me because every time I hear true theology, I get very angry and it's like something lives in me that makes me angry at the thought of eternity in hell being true because whatever lives in me is taking me there with it. Those who have faith in Jesus will inherit the Kingdom regardless of their doctrinal error because faith is what saves you, but most people will not be saved. There are very few bible verses to support universal salvation, especially when measured against other verses that's the otherwise. I am damned, I know I'm going to hell and though it sucks there's nothing I can do about it because I don't know how to trust in God anymore. My mother went to hell, my brother will go to hell, and so will my oldest brother. None of us love God. I have tried many times to believe that universalism is true, but after being I believer for 25 years prior to my fall from grace and turning my heart against God, I remember every scripture, and it haunts me day and night, because I know for sure it says I'm going to hell forever. I guess the bright side of it is that I will see my mom and two brothers there, and that's all I can hope for. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Although, I'm pretty sure God will not even allow us to see our loved ones in hell, and if we do we will be in too much pain to even enjoy seeing one another. I really wish my mom would have aborted me before she ever allowed me to be born, so that there is no chance of me going to hell forever, but there's nothing she can do now because here I am at 41 years old and going to hell any day now. I was supposed to be dead a year ago because I'm terminal, and even though I don't seek medical intervention, I'm somehow still here just to be tormented in my soul day and night. My experience alone proves to me that God hates me, and that he has no love for me at all. Those who believe God loves everyone refuse to see in scripture that God even laughs at the wicked sometimes, that he only loves those who love him, and that he will take pleasure in torturing the wicked.

      I’m so sorry to hear that you are suffering so much and have no hope for anything better. With the time you have left, I would recommend you take a large dose of mushrooms or LSD. Then try again, actually read David Hart’s book That All Shall Be Saved. And see if it makes sense to you.

      @@JesusIsAboveAllOtherNames Well, the picture you give me leaves little room or time for slow and gentle remedies! As far as I can tell you have nothing to lose! After all, you imagine yourself definitely going to hell, and soon, where your torments will be far worse than any you could experience on earth. It may not be for you, but it has helped quite a lot of people. And is being studied again now (John Hopkins etc), claiming psychedelics as a positive awakening for those suffering from many things. I only refer to it as a way of “getting ouside” yourself in a reflective way. A break from your own Ego, which you would normally not be able to escape. These moments of clarity have traditionally been positive in terms of personal growth. But yes, of course many people have bad trips, but this is generally considered to be the result of poor environment/context (or even just lack of hydration) rather than the nature of the drug itself. These drug do not have a “nature” in the sense you mean. What they show you is specific to you. Do your own research of course. It’s just a suggestion. This video ought to provide you, at the very least, with some doubt regarding your deeply felt beliefs on what God may intend. So, if it doesn’t, in my way of thinking, I imagine that you may be held back by a deep guilt or shame or breach of trust. We all suffer from that. It’s just that you may suffer far more than others. We all need help with it. It would be natural not to be able to seek God or to want to, in that state. Ketamine clinics also, might give you quick relief. Just so you can be clear afterwards, if you seek meaning beyond this fallen world. Pain is blinding.

      @@RootinrPootine Meh... I don't know. 🤷‍♀️ I would smoke some cannabis to calm my mind, but I don't have access to any. Even if I had access to the usual strain I used in the past to relieve my fears, I wouldn't have the money to purchase any. I do know that mushrooms, LSD, Dimethyltryptamine have helped people with fears of hell, social anxiety disorders, etc., but I just never felt that they were for me even though I've tried all of them recreationally in my past. Cannabis was the only substance that ever helped me with any spiritual attacks. I don't believe in mental health disorders in the sense that someone is born with a mental health disorder, so you might not be too fond of my beliefs, but I believe all negative emotions are caused by demonic spirits. I believe every negative emotion is approach of the enemy attacking the mind, and that only my seeking the face of God can one overcome. Do you have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? I'm not here to judge you at all, I'm just curious is all. My brother loves the Lord and serves Him, but he uses LSD once in a blue moon to help him deal with stress. Yes, I'm certainly held back by a breach of trust. I was brought up in traditional Christianity, so I've always believed in the traditional doctrine of hell. I also believe that because I lost my faith by choosing to live in sin, God no longer loves me and unless I repent he cannot love me. So, because I believe he doesn't love me, then I can't love him. I don't even know how I came to believe this to be honest with you, because I used to always believe God loved me even whenever I feel into sin, yet I find it increasingly difficult to trust him again. I've never experienced this in my 17 years of believing except for the last couple of years. There is certainly a demonic attack in my life, no doubt about it.

    One ought to ensure themselves that Hart's theology is entirely self-defeating and unconscionable. His mistake is that he collapses nature into hypostasis -- but these must be rendered as distinct categories. And, as taught by several of the fathers in the doctrine of universal recapitulation -- the doctrine in which Hart finds himself handicapped -- universal human nature will be restored, but not all hypostases that had adhered to this nature. Try to actually read Maximus the Confessor. Meanwhile, Hart, and followers of Hart alike, are seldom found capable of understanding free will. To suggest that every human hypostasis will be recapitulated within the Logos is to betray the freewill of the latter who can choose by their own self-conscious volition to be among those who had "done evil" resulting in a "resurrection unto condemnation" (John 5:29). Stop trying to epitomize heresy! I pray that Christ help all those fallen ill to the heresy of Hart and the universalists.

      "If the work stands that someone built upon the foundation, that person will receive a wage. But if someone’s work is burned up, that one will suffer loss; the person will be saved, but only as through fire." - 1 Corinthians 3:14‭-‬15 "And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna." - Matthew 10:28 "May the God of peace himself make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Thessalonians 5:23 There's a distinction between body, soul, and spirit. A soul in its ancient biblical context is defined as "a living being, the breath of life, or the vital force." It's not synonymous with spirit which is defined as "the divine nature of one's soul." In God's love, He will break down my soul after death if I choose to reject Him and a new soul will be born from the old. My spirit would remain intact and my born-again soul would glorify God for His unfailing love. This is similar to how the souls of Christians are born-again. The process is very burdensome but the result is freedom inexpressible. "For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross [through him], whether those on earth or those in heaven." - Colossians 1:19‭-‬20 "That the Lord may grant you times of refreshment and send you the Messiah already appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the times of universal restoration of which God spoke through the mouthful of his holy prophets from of old." - Acts 3:20‭-‬21 "The Lord does not delay his promise, as some regard “delay,” but he is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." - 2 Peter 3:9 "This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth." - 1 Timothy 2:3‭-‬4 "For this we toil and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the savior of all, especially of those who believe." - 1 Timothy 4:10 "For the grace of God has appeared, saving all." - Titus 2:11 Whatever God wills, He intends to accomplish. Whatever He intends to accomplish will be done, no matter what. God bless.

    Spiritual abuse of children. I held a little 7 year olds hand in a dark room, as the rest of the Sunday School watched the angels battle Satan and his minions with swords, casting them out of heaven ( from a very popular children’s bible cartoon series). The child got so scared we had to leave. My own son -different church- was told he would go to hell if he didn’t believe in Jesus. He couldn’t sleep and the fear engulfed him. He began washing himself obsessively and could never feel clean again. He carried this anxiety into adulthood. His fear of hell prevents him from seeing Jesus as a loving savior.

    This was outstanding! Both Peter & David really resonated collectively. As this gains momentum and clarity in the minds of Post -Evangelicals, I think it will be important to more firmly define what Universal Reconciliationists 'Do Not' believe'. A lot is being said and thrown around at the expense of consistency and it is important to solidify the key essentials. Cliched and shallow stereotypes of "Universalists" are being promoted by books such as "The Devils Redemption", which those who are of an 'Infernalist' mindset love to promote. I think Barth was hesitant in his Church Dogmatics to come right out and say that Universal Salvation was 'obligatory' of God, because of the anthropomorphic arrogance of such a proposition. However, he clearly saw, as did Gregory of Nyssa, that God's full circle of inclusive redemption was essentially boundless and not contingent upon our sense of justice..
