I just ran into this same statement (Universal Salvation) on another forum. I guess I am behind the times on this one and am going to have to look into it. I agree with you it is a very dangerous teaching from what little I gather on it.
My prayers are with you and your brother.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

No one can say a woman is not called to preach, except God. Didn't catch the irony? I do. 2Timothy chapter 2.

Did you know that Zondervan announced on 19 October this year that they are coming out with yet another Bible? This one is designed for teen boys ages 13 to 16. The owner of Zondervan is also the owner of Sun, a UK newspaper. Now I have never seen the "Sun" but I understand that on page 3 there are always displayed young girls, improperly dressed. Thiese girls are commonly called "P3girls".
It is currently planned to pull the maps and concordance out of an NIV and replace them with pictures and testimonies of some of the P3girls.
felix102,
Did you know that the KJV is written in a 4.5 grade level and the NIV is written in a 6th grade reading level?

You are wrong. I have read this teen study bible myself. I asked that question as I wanted to understand your comments on it.
In my experience with teens that have not had an extensive Christian upbringing and are new to Jesus Christ that the "alternate definition" would have a tendency to stick out to them and they wouldn't read any further as that is the "language" that they understand the best. It would have been best just to leave the "alternative definition" out of it completely.
I must admit that I do have a problem with the NIV also as portions of the Bible was left out in its translation.

blackeyedpeas, If things turn out that way my family and I will be seeing you in Borneo. Please pass on to your son that there are many back here pulling for him and his shipmates and we all thank him for carrying on where we left off. That is coming from an old Chief Petty Officer and his friends. And you are right this is a battle between good and evil. All the other issues fall under that as a secondary result that supports the main one. The majority of the active duty Soldiers and Sailors that I talk to daily are for Bush and they are unable to respect Kerry. One thing I was taught in the military was, in order to be a good leader you must first gain and maintain the respect of your troops.

Yes, at least our leaders there are showing some indication of humility. That's a very big lead. Would we ever see Kerry (or P. Clinton) doing that?? I don't know. Maybe flipping the bird to the photographer, I guess. Right now, Tuesday eve, from over at Drudge: Popular Vote 11% of Precincts Reporting George W. Bush 55% 8,101,550 John Kerry 44% 6,502,610 Electoral Bush 102 Kerry 077 So right now, P. Bush definitely in the lead, but that's only 11% of precincts. 89% still to go. So it's still very early. 'Just thinking, tho, what if Kerry DOES win - militarily, to me, the absolute unthinkable. I just see us, militarily, overseas, in a total rout, if Kerry wins. And, in our Supreme Court - we have possibly four seats coming open, in the next four years? Yikes! With a liberal President, our Court will become even more liberal than it already is! Just those two realities, I think, would be the beginning of the end, if not quicker, for the U.S. - quicker because of a castrated military, but perhaps longer as the court gradually becomes more and more a liberal, socialist court, and legislates us into subjection to the U.N. That's the way it looks to me - a deathnell militarily, and in our courts. I agree with your summation on a Kerry administration. Our military would become less than a police force. With Kerry in office then former P. Clinton would become a shoo in for Sec Gen of the UN. That with a drastic change in the courts would tie us in to full control by the UN.

I have limited time this morning so I will give you a brief statement on this.
Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
This does not necessarily mean brother as in sibling nor does it mean that we are to hate him.
If you can check back with me here I will present the rest the Bible has on this.

Hmmm, I only count five. FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
and I've already violated any time limits - by far. *sigh* I waz alwayz the last one finishing tests, too. HMMMM. WAIT! THERE ARE SIX! I just now noticed another one in the 'ofs'. Dumbkopf! How dumb can you get. *sigh* And I've had to 'study' it too, at least four times, just to 'find' all six. *sigh* It's all for naught. I'm dumb. It's true. *sigh* But it IS a good game. Actually a little sophisticated. How would you know it single out 'fs' as a letter people would repeatedly miss? Why do we miss them? Must have something to do with the way our lips pronounce them - linguistics. B/c the 'f' in 'of' is pronounced entirely different from the 'f' in 'files', so we miss it completely. Because we're 'lip' reading, when we try to find them. I'll betcha that's why. But TimV ain't here no mo, so we can't ask'm. When reading most people do not actually read the word "of". Our minds for some reason pass over this type of word. Try writing a paragraph sometime using "of" frequently leaving it out in numerous occasions. Most people will not even realise that you left any out because their minds will assume it to be there.
