With regard to the last article I published, I know many members of the body of Christ believe that one can’t be saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision today, instead believing that one can only be saved under Paul’s Gospel right now, but passages like John 3:16 and John 20:31 combined with Romans 10:9-13… Continue reading Salvation today under the Gospel of the Circumcision

Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are
I can’t give an exact number, but I’d guess that about 99% of Christians (including all the Mid-Acts Dispensationalists who do understand that there are two Gospels but who aren’t Biblical Universalists) have actually been saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision rather than the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (also known as Paul’s Gospel). Simply… Continue reading Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are
Why I am not a Christian
[Before getting into the details of this post, while I’m not a Christian, I should point out that I am a Bible-believing member of the body of Christ, and that, no, they’re not the same thing; we might have been called Christians in the first century, but we stopped using that label a long time… Continue reading Why I am not a Christian
Common misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism
There are a lot of misunderstandings and misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism out there, and I’ve written about many of them before, but to make it easy for me to give you some examples (for those who might not be familiar with them, or who might not have read all my articles or books), Dave Jenkins… Continue reading Common misrepresentations of Biblical Universalism
List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels
This list is taken from my Things that differ article. For even more proofs that there are multiple Gospels taught in the Bible, please read that article in full. This page is simply here for quick reference to the list of differences from that article. All scriptural references are based on passages from the KJV. The Israel… Continue reading List of differences between the two biblical churches and Gospels
What is a believer?
Before beginning, I should clarify that I’m referring strictly to believers within the body of Christ who believe Paul’s Gospel in this article, and not to believers within the Israel of God who instead believe and obey the Gospel of the Kingdom. If you aren’t familiar with the difference, please read this article: Salvations Over… Continue reading What is a believer?
Why Christ died, and why He had to die
As everybody should know by now, the Good News is that “Christ died for our sins” (and, of course, He was buried and rose again the third day as well), giving himself a ransom for all, as Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:3-6, and when a ransom is fully paid, all those who are held… Continue reading Why Christ died, and why He had to die
Why do we sin and die?
Most Christians are under the impression that we die because we sin, and that our sin is entirely our fault, and many of them also somehow apply the guilt of Adam’s sin to us at the exact same time. Well, the apostle Paul actually blamed our death on that very man — Adam — rather… Continue reading Why do we sin and die?
Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
This often comes as a surprise when I bring it up to many members of the body of Christ, as well as to other Universalists, but no, Jesus did not preach the salvation of all humanity during His earthly ministry. That’s not to say He didn’t teach the salvation of all at a later time,… Continue reading Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?
[Please note that I put “free will” in quotation marks because it’s a nonsensical concept that can’t actually exist in reality. This article wasn’t written to prove that fact, though, nor was it written to prove that God is ultimately in control of all things, at least from an absolute perspective (including all sinful and/or… Continue reading Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?
