“Hopeful Universalism” is becoming pop - the promise that all men volition travel saved past times Christ, whether they range got Him inwards this life or not.(1)
Adherents claim that all godly people should desire it. After all, God “wants all people to travel saved” (1 Timothy 2:4).
Whether they realize it or not, they're hoping Scripture is instruction error. If nosotros can't believe what Scripture teaches almost hell, how tin give notice nosotros believe what it teaches almost sky or anything else?
1 Timothy 2:4 doesn't only nation God wants all to travel saved. It says He wants them “to come upwardly to a noesis of the truth.”
These learn manus inwards hand. God volition non deny His holiness as well as jurist to vantage men who’ve rejected His honey as well as grace. Nor should nosotros promise He will.(2)
