    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    That would line up well with the start of Jesus' ministry being the 80th jubilee 490 yrs later. So if you took 121 Jubilees as the final time line, and started with the 70th in 460 BC then add 51 forty nine yr periods you get 2039 as the end of the cycle and 2040 as the beginning of the 52nd? I...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    You put a lot of work into that but do you really think the mark could be implemented within the next 14 or so yrs? Seems pretty tight as far as a time window for that. Personally in the US I think the church goers would have a revolution if that took place in the near term. If the falling away...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the REST WERE BLINDED. Just the flesh as they are vessels of dishonor made to destruction. Rom 9 And we are right back to your not being able to differentiate the second death as to its true...

    Saved by Grace doesn't mean our works don't matter. Ephesian's over all context screams this.

    I have 1 problem with that and it is this. Phl 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Jesus Christ returns. Transformation is indeed a process that God performs on and in you. Sanctification is the...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    And who is whosoever? They are the ones that God has chosen to believe for now and then eventually all as He is in control of the order in which each believes. He must give the faith and love of Jesus Christ to each person as His justification of them. It cannot be something you earn as none...

    Saved by Grace doesn't mean our works don't matter. Ephesian's over all context screams this.

    Rom 8:29-30 For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the Image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren. And those He predestined, He also called(election into Christ); those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. Eph...

    Saved by Grace doesn't mean our works don't matter. Ephesian's over all context screams this.

    Rom 8:33 NLT Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one- For God Himself has given us right standing with Himself. Rom 3:26 To demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. How is He the justifier...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    Personally I was water baptized 3 times. It was only the baptism in the Holy Spirit that actually changed my nature permanently. It is that baptism that Jesus does that actually means anything. The water is just symbolic. As Paul stated there is ONE baptism, which is it? Water or Holy Ghost that...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    Once again "As in Adam ALL die, even so In Christ SHALL all be made alive". As all have not yet been made alive, they are not IN CHRIST yet.

    The Argument for Universal Reconciliation from the Book of Romans

    I can agree with you on the one thing. Salvation itself must be worked out on an individual basis. However; initially you are bestowed with faith and love that come from the fullness of Jesus Christ. That is the election process of God. Whomsoever He bestows those things upon are the true...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    To briefly answer your questions. Vs 23 is only addressing those who are Christs at the end of this age or dispensation of time. When Christ comes He will reign on the earth for only 1000 yrs. Then we start the second period of death. In which another crop of fruits is to be matured and...

    The Argument for Universal Reconciliation from the Book of Romans

    Support? It is an election according to grace at this time. Paul would argue on the side of grace as he does in 1 Ti 1:13-14 Not on your willingness to receive it. For ye are save by grace through faith and that(faith) is not of yourselves, it(faith) is the gift of God. We who receive Christ...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    Gal 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Obviously only those that have received the faith and love that come from Jesus Christ have been baptized into Christ, thus put on Christ. Have become a member of the body. Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth until the...

    Can Universalism be refuted without using the word "aiōnion"?

    Almost but not quite. Paul was referring to God Himself, not Christ in that dissertation. "For of Him(God), through Him(God), and to Him(God), are all things: to whom be glory forever Amen". Rom 11:36 The only ones IN Christ are the ones who have been born of the Spirit as of now. That changes...
