Glad to see theologians noticing CU

Great videos! Can you do a video on the recent mass adoption as modern flat earth and especially the claim that the bible teaches a flat earth?

You can see why Christians love Trump reading those dreadful psalms.

With all respect and spiritual relief, I believe in the Holy Trinity's power to save all. My question is why was Jesus sacrificed on the cross? Was this to be the prototype of the resurrection and new birth? Thank you. God be praised!

Has the smaller and newer version of her book been released?

Does anyone on the internet know of an Christian Oneness Universalist theologian who does Not believe in the Trinity but believes in Oneness Universalism can you write me ?

Yes. Thank you and thank God.

:the most Holy Trinity... " i thought de Benneville was a unitarian?

If you take a look at John 14:6 New King James Version 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Doesn’t universalism provide another way other than Christ to come to the father? By eventually raising everyone up to the kingdom once their sins are burned away? Wouldn’t that technically be a third resurrection?

Too many ads

Apokatastasis is one of the most fascinating biblical doctrines. I research and study it frequently.

It is very hard to hear her on this interview. Would it be possible to get a transcript of it? I know there is software available for that. Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you for your work on the subject

Thanks Robin. You added a new concept for me to ponder. If Gods wrath was poured out on Jesus for our sins, to then pour more wrath out on sinners who die is perhaps akin to double jeopardy. We do not allow this in the courts of men. Would not the courts of Heaven more just than that of men? Food for thought, as they say.....in another vein, your elucidation of First Fruits and the ramifications of this God ordained principle at the Sanctuary in Colorado is again a major leap in the broadening of my understanding towards the word of God. May God continue to enlighten your mind and spirit for the edification of His children!! Awe-inspiring.......

I sish universalism was real and God was actually merciful but instead we have this sadistic god of torture. Life sucks and there is no good news or hope. Good job on a failed world god, nice,

I am very surprised that Vladimir Solovyov's name was not mentioned among the followers of Origen and Gregory of Nyssa. His earlier teaching is very deeply connected with the idea of apokatastasis, one of his main works is called Justification of Goodness, and he is the founder of a very strong branch of Russian Orthodox philosophy, which is not only alive today, but also successfully developing. V. Solovyov writes directly about apokatastasis at the end of his first dissertation.

This is truly amazing, all my unanswered questions have been addressed. I struggled for years with western theology ( fundamental theology) This conversation has brought me to the conclusion that universal theology really does make perfect sense. My 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle has finally come together.

Thank you very much for this magnificent input 🙏🇩🇰

The very nature of God, that being unrelenting LOVE (agape), has been steadily eroded since Augustine. Eastern Orthodoxy retained the truth of Apokatastasis, and at least Roman Catholicism maintained the concept of Pergotary. The Protestant Reformation with Calvin being a lawyer interpreted the atonement as a legal transaction. We believe in Jesus and we avoid hell and eternal torment and thus get a free pass to heaven in the life hereafter. Fear became the main reason (During midlife I was one of them) for aligning oneself with the Christian religion. This made it evangelical in nature rather than the two inherited Christian traditions. After the age of Enlightenment and as a reaction, Evangelism became more literalistic in its Biblical interpretations of Jesus's Rabinical rhetoric, in order to persuade the people to repent and seek the Kingdom of God in the "here and now." He was not so much speaking about the life hereafter, as the looming danger of the destruction of the Jewish nation if they persisted in trying to overthrow their Roman oppressors. Two centuries of Fundementalist bias has done it's work. Created in the image of God so many have struggled with this hell concept and the Father punishing Jesus instead of us (if we believe) , when in fact it is the Father co suffering with the Son in dying in order to reconcile ALL of humanity. Did not Jesus say " Greater love has no man than one who lays down his life for another. God's infinite life in exchange for ALL. The resurrection the beginning of the New Age in which we can partake ( the abundant life Jesus spoke off) and be transformed NOW. Thank God for grace as generally the Christian witness has not been startling (including myself at times). And yes thank God for His infinite mercy, for although at deaths door there will be LOVE's consuming fire eradicating all that was not of God in us. Deep regret and gnashing of teeth for what we were not and the pain of mostly having taken God's name of I AM (our true Christ centred self) in vain. And then? Reconciliation! The living HOPE that we who have been awakened due to the Gospel, can now begin to live that new life right now. I thank God for my early Evangelical beginnings while thanking the H.S. in leading this now old nobody in the eyes of the world into His peace and rest. And the life to come? Like a child I trust God being God will bless us beyond to " what earhly eyes have not seen, and ears what have not heard to that which awaits us. And yes thank God for Eastern Orthodoxy for not deviating from the doctrine of hope... Apokatastasis! Bless all those who are seeking the Way the Truth and the Life. It will be revealed as St Paul discovered (Galatians 1/16), and this despite all his once sincere and zealous religiosity. SHALOM ❤️

I have a question. Jesus knew he is supposed to die, so how can we believe that he expected God not to let him die?

While searching for information about universal salvation, since I'm a universalist, I came across your channel. I'm really happy I discovered your channel. May God bless you!

As an American, I thank you for speaking truth.

WOW - this is informative, and interesting! Thanks!

Great conversation!!! Did the short version of A Larger Hope ever materialize???

TheTree of the knowledge of good and evil was not evil in itself. (God made it grow and put it in the Garden!). BUT what was evil was LISTENING someone OTHER than God and going against His word (encouraged by snake). We can compare it to the Law. It also gives us knowledge of good and evil - but the Law itself is not evil. It just does NOT provide nor preserve LIFE of the man. Life comes only from God directly, listening to Him only, and perfectly, 100%. Which Adam and Eve were not capable of,, as they were not from above, as the Onlybegotten Son was.

New testament, letters of ap. Paul especially, are CLEAR proof of christian universalism, or salvation of ALL through the ONE: Romans, Philipians, Colossians, Ephesians.. Christians do not even have to go any further than that in search for proofs and answers. (Your work though is commendable and thorough). But, as ap. Paul said, wolves came in...And twisting and distorting of the God's Word.

Thank you so much . This is a bit of topic but God’s name in the Old Testament is it Yahweh or Jehovah? Is both good or is one better than the other?

He wasn’t Platonist; Origen was Anaxagorean!! cf. Tzamalikos

Big thanks to you, Robin. God bless and regards from Sout-West of Germany.

The view of eternal punishment should be looked at as a quality instead of quantity. In the terms of eternal means that it's permanent and the punishment should be corrective so it's a permanent correction of all people.

Man's freewill is nothing compared to God's will for us. A man's heart devises his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

Now here's an interesting point that even most universalists fail to see. The Bible from cover to cover teaches that God called his Priesthood in both testaments, and because of the glory of this new covenant, we called into this priesthood and do keep the Commandments of God AND the faith of Jesus Christ will be the primary people to not suffer the second death, which we know is correction. This is not any choice of the called priesthood, but all of this is by the election of God alone who calls, sanctifies, justifies and glorifies his chosen from before the world began.

Big thanks, Robin. Lots of joy listening to you. Praise the LORD. Having trouble with Christians all my life. Regards from South-West Germany.

Do you know of any Christians in the past who where universalist evangelist and went out preach to the lost ? This is question I get all the time. The thought is that our message makes the need to preach null. I know this not true. But I can’t help to admit the pressure for me to save world has been lifted lol . Any ways thank you !

1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1Ti 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. I pray 🙏 God will open your eyes and stop the madness heresy manufactured by the Devil! You must take Jesus at his word! 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. Jhn 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mat 13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:Mat 13:48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.Mat 13:49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,Mat 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

I believe in all restore to God

I was waiting at some point for Saint Maximos the Confessors view, that solves the issue much more convincingly and realistically. But it never came. You can't have divine Mercy without divine Justice. The title is wrong it should of been: "Origen, the misunderstood genius"

Prayer doesn't seem to come natural to me yet, but I have noticed that I have my best prayers when tears are involved.

Thank you Robin for your service! God is wonderful. Be blessed. Regards from south-west of Germany

I loved this sermon, thank you.

This doctrine has helped me to make a return to the church and re-ignited my calling to ministry. I was raised in the Pentecostal tradition and considered myself an Evangelical Pentecostal. I moved to the United Methodist Church as and served as a clergyperson since 1984. I was shoved out of the United Methodist Church over conflicts related to their views of human sexuality and ministry. I left the church altogether for many years, thinking there was no place for me to belong. I guess it became a point of beginning my faith's deconstruction of a sort over those years that left me part of the spiritual but not religious. A I deconstructed, I served a UU congregation and served as a chaplain in a prison for several years. I have reached a place where I am basically writing my new Credo to lay out what I believe and, more importantly, the reasons for my beliefs. At this point, I am at the place of reconstruction of my faith. Now I am looking for a way to serve and share what I have learned as a result of this journey. I have no doubts that there are many others out there who need to be affirmed in their journey and beliefs. They are the burgeoning Universalists that need one another.

I would love to find out that universalism was well supported in the early church, but the fact that Origen felt the need to hide this idea from immature believers suggests to me that eternal torment was probably the standard view. If it was what the apostles taught and passed on to their disciples, there would be no need to hide it because everyone would know it already.

Robin, with respect, you seem to have disappeared from the Christian Universalism scene. There’s basically no way to reach you regarding dialogues with the best opponents of CU, you haven’t engaged Chris Date (at all), I have *not* seen you reply to a TH-cam comment or to a blog comment within in a bizarrely long time, and you let the Evangelical Universalist forum shut down. I work have been happy to help contribute.

Amazing interview! I really enjoyed this!!

Also, why do you only allow comments on select videos ? You should debate on Cameron Bertuzzi’s channel.

You should reactivate the Evangelical Universalist blog! It helped. And its absence hurts. A lot.

7 ads for a 7 min video seems excessive

I listened to all of them Wow ! So, a simple but profound thing i am getting is: we are nothing, ( and yet we are) we just exist because God wills it, and although we are finite being, we are nevetherless willed by God, and therefore i think: we will still "be" by His willing, everything, everybody and always ... because God' will cannot be anhiilated... 🤔

Can you please make a video or explain on turning the other cheek in Matthew 5:38-40?

Thank you for these videos I’ll be featuring them in an article on my blog soon. I hope more people will learn from these. God Bless
