I was searching the net for more Christian Forums to joins, because I love having fellowship. I found this one site called www.123christian.com I did not get the reply back that I was a member until late last night. And wouldn’t you know it one of the main topics there is Universal Salvation. It is the biggest thread there. The poor brothers who are in there trying to defend the faith is being over whelmed. Took me awhile to catch up on the forum it was so huge…..And there is more in other topic places about the subject. Unlike all the other doctrines within the church, this doctrine stands alone. It is way different than doctrinal issues. I am going to study hard and hopefully bring some people to understanding. I have never been so scared or sickened by a doctrine as much as I am of this one. It took me awhile to ask others to help me on this subject, for fear of stumbling a brother or a sister. And than I realized that a true brother or sister would be able to see this for what it is. I even had a feeling last night that my brother will see the light and come back to the faith. Sometimes we have to go through a battle to learn growth and gain strength. God bless to you all in Jesus Holy name I pray for each and everyone of our brothers and sisters out there. Especially those in other countries who are dieing in Jesus name.

Theology / General Theology / Re:Long Hair. 1Cor.11:1-16

When the bible talks about looking at nature to see if it is shameful for man to have long hair. I think it speaks for itself, we can look at nature and its creatures and see the difference between a male and a female. Man has a look that is different than that of a woman. I don’t know about you but I have seen some very pretty men, they look like woman. This is why the hair of a woman was given to her for her glory. We as man see woman with long hair and it is beautiful. Why would a man want to wear their hair in a way that is suitable for a woman, and vise versa. Nature tells us that it is shameful for a man walking around looking like a woman. Because it is the hair of a woman that makes her look like a woman. It does not make her more Holier than another woman just because her hair is longer. I thank the nature thing goes much deeper especially in this day in age.

As a child it is so easy to know about Christ our savior, but seem when we get older we have to go into great studies and doctrinal arguments to come to the simple knowlege of the truth. I

Evangelist I have read your site and I found it to be very edifying, thank you again for your response. I can not help to be so zealous about combating this subject of Universal Salvation. The reason being, I just had to witness the danger of this belief in the mind of someone very close and dear to me. He is someone who in my eyes has been strong in the faith. He has wrote many things on various subjects. I watched this belief in one short period of time totaly bring confusion and doubt into his mind. I to was reading this stuff and for a moment I entertained the thought for awhile, only to come to the realization of feeling a sweet stimulation in my stomach that became very sickening. This thought led me to believe there was something very wrong with this belief. Not just it being a bad doctrine, like many doctrines out there are. This doctrine is different, it attacks the very mind of a person and can leave traces of doubt even for a long time after even rejecting the idea. I can see this destroying the very heart of a Christian who was one ambitious to the cause, to become dead and unprofitable. To have that small trace of (maybe I can just wait until the end and maybe it is true that God will forgive me for my actions after all I am just a man) This idea can leave someone idle and dead to the fruits of the spirit. I just have a bad feeling that this belief can work its destruction in secret entering into the hearts of Christians and not only Christians, this belief is perfect for the whole world no matter what their belief. Even to those who worship other Gods can easily accept this thought of a new idea of Christ. After all in their mind they could be thinking, (look at the confusion and all the destruction people have done in the name of Christ). This belief can fill that little spot in the heart that has been against Christ for so long to being able to accept it, because it does not hinder them from being the way they are or even stop them from believing in other Gods. What ever the separation is between man and God can easily be resolved with this idea of Christ. This belief can very well shape the image of God who is Christ into an image made like unto corruptible man….I feel that this thought can lay hidden in the hearts of man and in the heart of a confessing Christian. I am sorry again for my rambling just please pray for my brother and for all those who might be struggling with these kinds of thoughts.
God bless to you all In the name of our precious Jesus Christ.

I want to thank you very much for your quick response. And yes the link you have given me has been a lot of help. But this is a link that I have already found. Surprisingly, there is not much info out there to combat this subject. I think it would be very nice and helpful if someone would do an in-depth study on this subject. I have a feeling this faith could be an attempt to change the message of the Gospel. I mean this stuff is dangerous to the mind of not only weak Christians but to anyone who might want to become a Christian in the future. During my reading of this faith I have found that that their main attack is directed and changing the meaning of the bible entirely. It was not bad enough for Satan to confuse people within the church but confusing the meaning of the bible for people can have devastating effects.
I am sorry for my rambling, thank you again for your response and I will be back to see if anyone has come up with any more info
GOD bless in Jesus name.

Hello I don't know if I am in the right place for this, but I need some help. First let me give the you the scoop. I have not to long ago encountered a Faith that calls themselves Universal Salvation. If anyone knows of this faith, they know they claim that their is a new message that is an old message that has been missunderstood since Christ died and resurrected. The message is that everyone is saved know one is lost, even the angels and Satan are going to be saved on the day of judgment. They say the lake of fire is not death but a purging and after the purging they will be saved.
Normaly I would not be so alarmed, but my brother because of me got mixed up in this stuff. I knew my brother had lots of knowledge and has written many things on certain topics. So I went to him So we could read and combat this if it has ever been brought up to us. Well to make a long story short now my brother is greatly confused and is fighting a battle now. He is not showing the fruits of the spirit right now. I need lots and lots of prayer for him, his name is Joe. I also would like it if only people who are very strong in the faith could give me help on combating this faith. Please only brothers and sisters who are very strong in the faith should go and read this stuff. Thank you so much God Bless
