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

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: Things that… 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”?
Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
The reason I’m not Roman Catholic is really quite simple (although if you want the proof of my reason, it will require some homework on your part): There’s just no way to reconcile Roman Catholic doctrine with Scripture. (The same goes for Eastern Orthodox doctrine, but I’m just going to refer to Roman Catholicism throughout… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth
This article was updated on August 23, 2025 As I assume happens to every true believer at one time or another, I sometimes have occasions where I’ll begin to question whether the doctrines that those of us in the true body of Christ (some of whom are also referred to as “Concordant” believers) hold to… Continue reading Why I have reassurance that we believe the truth
The necessity of two Gospels
While it goes without saying that there are at least two Gospels (or Evangels) in Scripture (and please read this article if you aren’t aware of this fact already), some people might ask why there are two Gospels in the first place, and why Jesus didn’t preach the same Gospel during His earthly ministry that Paul later preached… Continue reading The necessity of two Gospels
Yes, Provisionism and Arminianism are wrong. However…
Watching Christians argue over whether Provisionism (not to mention the somewhat related “Arminianism” perspective) is right or wrong is both amusing and sad at the same time. Because yes, while Scripture does indeed teach that both Provisionism and Arminianism are wrong, it also teaches that Calvinism is equally wrong. Ultimately, both sides need to reject their… Continue reading Yes, Provisionism and Arminianism are wrong. However…
