Universal Salvation(1) – the belief that Christ volition salve all men regardless of their beliefs - is a hot topic lately.
This is largely due to the popularity of The Shack.(2)
As Christians, it should live on our heart's wishing to portion Christ then men in addition to women tin come upwards to a noesis of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).
But hoping God volition salve unrepentant men who spend upwards Christ agency hoping God is lying nigh salvation inwards His Word. We should never promise for that (Titus 1:1-3).
If nosotros can't trust what God says nigh hell, how tin nosotros trust what He says nigh sky or anything else?(3)When confronted alongside clear Biblical principles, I sometimes postulate heed Christians say, "Well that depends on how you lot translate Scripture."
Christians translate a release of non-essential doctrines differently. But nosotros concur on the essential doctrines of organized faith inwards Christ which are clearly presented inwards Scripture, in addition to hell is ane of those doctrines.
