Here’s what Christ said about the Holy Ghost convicting the lost: But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will […]
What Does It Mean That the “SEA” Gave Up the Dead?
Let’s read the passage in question with focus on verse 13: 11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were […]
Why Did God Allow the BLACK DEATH and So Many to Die?
There are several examples of the Almighty bringing pestilence on certain peoples at certain times as a judgment against sin/rebellion (e.g. 2 Samuel 24:15 wherein 70,000 died).

Universalism, Inclusivism, Restrictivism, Purgatory and the Judgment Seat of Christ
Will everyone be saved eventually, as universalism teaches, or are there conditions for receiving God’s gracious gift of reconciliation and eternal life?
