I have researched the subject of Universal Salvation for over 10 years. In my
Studies, I have found that Yahweh (Creator) is not a vengeful being. He wants all
His children to be with Him in Heaven, and not to watch most of them burn in the
Lake of Fire for ever. I have found by His inspired words, that He is loving, and
forgiving, Creator. The following documents give the highlights of the important
scriptures that prove this.
Universal salvation in it’s simple and proper sense existed in most churches of the
founding fathers. It was very common and virtually unchallenged among early
Christians until the time known as the “Dark Ages” that started in the 5th century.
l
From A.D. 170 to 430 A.D, there were six main Christian schools of thought. Four
taught the salvation of all mankind. One taught total annihilation of sinners at the
end. One taught eternal torment in a burning Lake of Fire. The Roman Catholic
church took the latter as their doctrine.
Churches were forced to follow the Romans, and that is where the main body of
believers are today. (Schaff-Herzog encyclopedia). Mainstream Protestant churches
are still preaching some of the non Biblical doctrines of that era, and are passively
accepted by parishioners.
In the 1st century, Yahshua Messiah (Jesus) established His church. From the forth
century to this day, the Gospel, (Good news) became the bad news. The churches
teach an underlying doctrine, about the vast majority of people born from Adam
and Eve until the present, that are doomed.
They believe the multiple billions of people that have never heard of Yahshua
Messiah. Nor have they accepted, or believed Him in this life. They will be cast into
a Lake of Fire, to be tormented forever. This by our Heavenly Father, whose love
never fails. (Romans 8:39)
This my friends is a contradiction which defies rational thinking, and the
scriptures. The Bible confirms that Yahshua Messiah will have all mankind to be
saved
(1 Timothy 2:4)(1Timothy 4:10) Bottom Line 2 document has over eighty
scriptures that proves, all will be saved.
Here is a subject that theologians have no satisfactory answer for. An opinion
survey was taken of a number of preachers. They were asked why Yahweh would
allow the major population of the entire world, to suffer a horrible existence in the
Lake of Fire forever ?
They replied “ Because He is Holy.” This also defies rational thinking.
Theologians are correct when they say “You must accept Yahshua to be saved.”
Scriptures agree, and not only in this life.
This is a formality, because He saved all when He suffered and died on the cross at
Calvary. “While we were enemies, we were reconciled to Yahweh by Messiah’s
death. And much more, we are saved by His resurrected life.” (Rom 5:10)
Christians have been indoctrinated with the hell fire doctrine all of their lives. The
belief is, that the Roman Catholic church taught this to keep parishioners under
control with fear. In earlier years, they were not allowed to read the Bible. They are
not encouraged to, even now.
The fact is, that the Pope’s words and decisions always superseded the Bible. The
Protestants, since the reformation, have used negative sounding scriptures as
assumptions. There is embellishment and spin, in interpreting the scriptures, even
in this day and age.
Most Christians are taught and believe that parable stories are true. This could not
be more further from the truth. Strong’s Concordance states. “A parable is a fictitious
narration conveying a moral.” A proverb has the same meaning, as an illustration.
Theologians interpret, that every negative sounding scripture means hell fire. Their
church should be called the Church of Assumption. The scriptures they give about
hell and damnation aren't what they seem to be. An example is the parable of entering
the wide gate to destruction. (Die, perish) and the narrow gate to life. (Mt.7:13,14)
No Lake of Fire here, only an assumption. The wide gate, is a life of self
destructive sins. Crime, drugs, immoral sex and unhealthy life style, can shorten a
persons life very quickly.
Matthew (25:31-46) Is a parable about separating the sheep, which are righteous,
from the goats, representing sinners. The story was, that the sinners, didn't feed, (give
water), shelter, clothe, visit the sick, and the prisoners. Yahshua said “depart, you
cursed into everlasting fire.”
As for the moral of this fictitious story. The Jews were lovers of money. (Lk. 16:13)
They were not about to spend their time and money on strangers. The sin committed
by the people in this fictitious story, was knowing to do good and not doing it.
(James 4:17)
Their sins were not about breaking the 10 Commandments. Not murder, adultery,
stealing, coveting their neighbors wife, worshiping other gods ect. The Messiah is not
going to cast anyone into the Lake of Fire for not giving someone a drink of water.
He was castigating the Jews for their total lack of charity. Another fact, is that the
Bible refers to mankind as sheep in 39 places, never as goats, whether good or bad.
There is the true story of Yahshua casting demons into the herd of swine. (Mark 5:
12,13) It’s safe to say, that the beings representing the goats, were demons in the
narration. They will be cast into everlasting fire.
Lazarus and the rich man’s parable shows more stingy people. The Jews that
Yahshua was preaching to, could relate to His story. They probably held on to their
sheckles very tight, when they saw a beggar. It’s another story of greed. The rich man
was symbolically cast into hell for not giving to the poor. Have you ever passed by a
beggar, ignored help or donations to a charity?
Forget about murder, rape, arson, drugs, porno, ect. Let’s get rid of those tight
wads. And guess what, we are not going to end up in Abraham’s bosom when we
die. Abraham has nothing to do with salvation, or the lake of fire.
The error of believing this was not a parable; is that the resurrection and the White
Throne judgment hasn‘t happened yet. (No brainer) Also Abraham’s Bosom would
be very crowded by now. (Luke 16:20-31) The Jews bragged, that they had
Abraham for their father. (Mt 3:9)
May this writer suppose, that since our creator endowed most of us with humor.
Yahshua might have injected some of it into the parable, when He said. “ Pluck
your eye out, cut your hand, and foot off, if they make you sin.” ( Mark 9:43-47)
The Jews that were standing there, were not stupid. They knew that those members
don’t cause you to sin. Their mental picture of the multitudes hopping around, on
one foot, with one hand, and half blind, must have caused instant laughter from the
Jews.
If Yahshua was serious with that command. Most if not all Christians, should be
getting their disability checks by now. Also, you would be cast into the Lake of Fire
for not giving a thirsty person a drink of water.
There is the parable of people casting out demons, doing wonders and prophesying in
the Lord’s name. “He said “I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice
lawlessness.”(Matthew 7:22,23) No Lake of Fire here. Anyway, this is not
something the average person has to worry about, maybe some T.V. evangelists
should.
Another assumption is (2 Thessalonians 1:7,8,9) “Yahshua takes vengeance on those
that don’t know Yahweh and don’t obey the gospel of Yahshua. They shall be
punished with ever lasting destruction.” Let the reader take heed. “You don’t know
Yahshua, if you don’t keep His Commandments.
If you say you know Him and don’t keep His commandments, you are a liar.”
(1 John 2:4) We do know for sure, that satan and his angels don’t obey the Gospel or
keep the law. They are not forgiven, but mankind is, through the death and
resurrection of Yahshua Messiah.
In Daniel’s prophesy, 12:2) it speaks of many that are asleep in the dust of the earth.
They shall awake, some to everlasting life. Some to shame, and everlasting contempt.
That is far less of a punishment than the Lake of Fire, which is not mentioned. The
Lord has canceled edicts in the past. This was always for the benefit of mankind.
(Exodus 32:14) (Daniel 9:9)
The Lord will send His Angels to gather all that offend, and those that practice
lawlessness, they will be cast into a furnace of fire, with wailing and gnashing of
teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom. (Mt 13:41,42,43)
Some Christians believe that when they are saved, they are sin free, and righteous.
Maybe they are more spiritual than the Apostle Paul. He said that when he sinned, it
wasn’t him, but the evil, wickedness, and sin dwelling in him. (Rom 7:17) Sinning is
lawlessness and it’s not righteous. “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not
one:” (Romans. 3:10)
How do we become righteous? “ The Lord will cause righteousness and praise to
spring forth before all nations.” (Isaiah.61:11) “When the Lord’s judgments are in the
earth, all inhabitants will learn righteousness.”(Isaiah 26:9) According to the
Bible, we can’t become righteous on our own.
Yahshua said “ The hour is coming that those in the graves shall come forth; they that
have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those that have done evil to the
resurrection of damnation. (John 5:29) The Greek word krisis in the Bible is used for
both damnation and judgment.
Revelation 16:7 Says “The Lords judgments are true and righteous” Truth seekers,
would agree that the evil and wickedness are satanic, which will be damned. Have
you ever done anything evil or sinful in your life?
All those that take the mark of the beast, the people not written in the book of life,
and all others. They are instruments of satan when taken captive by him. (2 Tim 2:
26) They will be delivered from their body of death, as Paul was waiting for.
(Romans 7:24) They will be bowing their knees and confessing to Yahshua Messiah
at the judgment with all mankind. (Rom.14:11)
People won’t believe that sin is of the devil, even though scriptures say so. They
believe that all sin is man’s doing and on his own. satan’s tactics are in the powerful
influence he has over ALL mankind. The plain fact is, that there is no sin in a
persons life without satan’s input.
The man that had 2000 demons cast out by Yahshua, had to be the most wicked in
the Bible. And yet he was sitting at Yahshua’s feet, and in his right mind. The
scriptures show that our spirit is really us. That our bodies with it’s carnality, are
only vehicles.
In Galatians 5:17 “It speaks of the flesh that lusts against our spirit, and our spirit
against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you don’t do the things
that you wish.” There are negative scriptures like: “Vessels of wrath prepared for
destruction.” ( Romans 9:22) There are other scriptures that tells of that spirit of
evil, wickedness, and sin that dwells with in us.
"The Lord will have all mankind to be saved, and receive the knowledge of the
truth.” (1Timothy 2:4) “All are saved and specially those that believe” (1 Tim 4:10)
This is love, not that we loved Yahweh, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be
the appeaser for our sins. (1 John 2:2)
Basically the Bible is saying, even if you don’t have the knowledge, believe, or love
the Lord in this life, you will be saved in the next. These scriptures explains it.
“Look unto Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am Yahweh, and
there is none other. (Isaiah 45:22)
That unto me every knee shall bow, and every tongue take an oath. (Isaiah 45:23)
“As I live says Yahshua, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall
confess to Yahweh.” (Romans 14:11)
With the heart, one believes to righteousness, and with the tongue, confession is
made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10) Yes, Salvation is that simple when you add
Yahshua's sacrifice. There are no scriptures that say, it’s too late after death to
accept the Lord. People that don’t believe, are blinded. (2 Corinthians 4:4) )
Revelation 21:8 States “All liars, (among others), will be cast into the Lake of Fire.”
A simple question; If Adolph Hitler and a liar were swimming together in the Lake
of Fire. Would the temperature be the same for both? If a person lied, were
accidentally killed, and had no time to repent, do they join Adolph?
Believe the truth and not man. It will make you free. (John 8:32) Remember to
praise the Lord for His love, wonderful works, forgiveness, and mercy that endures
for ever. Also remember to give to the poor.
If you want to get a real insight into Universal Salvation. Bottom Line 2 has over 80
scriptures. They do not have to be interpreted, as they stand on their own.

Salvation for all
Todays Commentary Dec. 30 2009
We will be starting a new year in 2 days. The years seem to go by 5
years at a time, when you get older. Then we wonder: What is God's will?
Some even say, who is God? Will I be saved ? Some questions we can't
answer, and many are right in your Bible. Start reading it on 1/1/2010 with
an open mind, and without pre conceived ideas. Then the truth will make you
free.
Todays Commentary Dec. 31 2009
Two hours and thirty five minutes till January first, two thousand and ten.
Here I am, writing about the new year, and missing all the merrymaking.
I just happened to think. I won't wake up tomarrow, with a king size head
ache, and my Porsche smashed up, which happened many years ago. By the
grace of our Father in heaven, I gave up those things years ago. As you see,
following the Lord, can be very healthful and safe. Try it, you will like it.
Then you might ask. How can I be saved ? Who can be saved ? Just
Remember, all will be saved.

Life Story Part 1
Desember 29 2009
This may seem like an unlikely place to air one's life story.
I will show that a wreckless, aimless, and sometimes dangerous
life can have a good ending. I started off life in Oakland California,
of parents Paul and Estelle in May of 1935. My sister Virginia
was born in 1930. Both my parents were born in 1900, and were a
little old to have children. We were not a close family, and it seemed
that I was the one that got wacked ( Not beaten) all the time by father
mother and sister. My favorite time was getting away from the family,
to play army with my friends. We lived in Alameda, across the street
from the San Fracisco bay. I had a kayak, and lived in the water all
summer. Grammer school years were univentful except for the start of
world war 2 on December 7th 1941. My grandmother, on dad's side,
was born in 1875. She wanted me to go to church camp, and go to
Sunday school every Sunday. She was very religious and got her way,
which was before my teen years. Later I joined the Boy Scouts and
went to their camp. I also stopped going to Sunday school when I entered
high school.
