The reason I believe in the eventual salvation of all humanity is really quite simple. Many years ago, while I myself was still a believer in the popular doctrine of never-ending punishment for unbelievers, I encountered debates between other Christians who also believed the popular doctrine arguing with a seemingly strange group of people who… Continue reading Why I believe in the salvation of all humanity

Answers to “12 Questions for Those Considering Universalism”
Randy Alcorn just re-published Michael McClymond‘s article titled 12 Questions for Those Considering Universalism (originally published in December on The Gospel Coalition website as 12 Questions for the Would-Be Universalist). Because some Christians who haven’t studied the topic carefully enough might not know how easy it is to answer these questions, I thought I’d quickly do… Continue reading Answers to “12 Questions for Those Considering Universalism”
You’re not ready to reject Universalism yet
As I wrote last week, many Infernalists (and, I should add, even some Annihilationists) will quote Bible verses assuming that they disprove Universalism, and presumably also somehow assuming that we’ve never heard those passages before (or at least assuming we don’t believe those passages are true). Anyone who does that without already knowing how it… Continue reading You’re not ready to reject Universalism yet
The Concordant Gospel Resources website is not run by the Concordant Publishing Concern
It’s been brought to my attention that some people have mistakenly assumed that the Concordant Gospel Resources website at www.concordantgospel.com (which is another website I run in addition to this one) is run by the CPC (the Concordant Publishing Concern, who are the people responsible for the translation and publishing of the CLV, meaning the… Continue reading The Concordant Gospel Resources website is not run by the Concordant Publishing Concern
Questions you must answer
In order to convince us Mid-Acts Dispensationalists we’re wrong about our belief that there is more than one Gospel proclaimed in Scripture, one has to be able to first answer some questions. If one can’t answer these questions, they won’t be able to convince us that we’re wrong (it’s as simple as that). First, would… Continue reading Questions you must answer
Concordant Christology: Arianism vs Socinianism
Those of us “Concordant” believers in the ecclesia (or church) called the body of Christ are not Trinitarians (nor are we Modalists, for the same reasons we don’t believe in the Trinity). As far as why we aren’t Trinitarians, I’ve written about that elsewhere, so please click here if you’re interested in learning more about that topic, but in… Continue reading Concordant Christology: Arianism vs Socinianism
The Hebrew Scriptures prove Infernalism is unscriptural
First, a quick explanation of the Infernalist doctrine. Infernalism is the theological name for the soteriology believed by most Christians, which is the idea that if someone has committed a single sin in their lifetime — which every single human aside from Jesus has done at some point while they’re still a young child —… Continue reading The Hebrew Scriptures prove Infernalism is unscriptural
Events still to come
I wrote the following in response to a post on Reddit some time back, and I thought it might be useful to share on my website as well, for those who aren’t necessarily entirely familiar with eschatology and what the various books of the Bible say is still to come. I should say, this is… Continue reading Events still to come
Why I can’t take most Christians seriously, and a challenge for those who disagree with me
If someone sent you a link to this article, there’s a good chance it’s because you’re the type of person being discussed in it (although not always), so please read the whole thing carefully to learn how to make sure you aren’t included in this group. When a Christian discovers that my current interpretations of… Continue reading Why I can’t take most Christians seriously, and a challenge for those who disagree with me
Did Paul mean the opposite of what he wrote?
[All passages are quoted from the Concordant Literal Version of the Bible.] Me: I’d like to quote some passages the apostle Paul wrote that I’ve memorized. Would you be willing to listen to them and let me know if I’m remembering them correctly? Him (a street preacher): Sure. Go for it. Me: Okay, cool. Thanks.… Continue reading Did Paul mean the opposite of what he wrote?
