He clings too much to man made doctrine concerning ages/eternity. He, like the catholic church who propigated it some 1100 years ago, refuses to believe the entirety of scripture. Including the apostles John and Paul, who both spoke of the salvation and propitiation of all. You guys just refuse to believe it. 1 John 2:2 ... and He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world, or corrected for you Emile "but for the sins of the entire believing world". You must insert your belief here. John 1:29 behold, the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world. Or corrected for you Emile. "Who takes away the sin of the world if they choose to believe". You must add to the word here. 1 Timothy 4:10 we trust in the Living God, Who is the Savior of all men, especially those who believe. Or corrected for you Emile "we trust in the Living God, Who is not the Savior of all men, but only those who believe". You must change the meaning of the word here Emile. 1 Timothy 2:6 for this is good in the sight of our Savior God, who wills all mankind to be saved. Or your version "for this is good in the sight of our Savior God, who does not will all mankind to be saved". You also change the plain meaning here. Yes Emile, if you're speaking for him, you might tell him that he really should believe the entirety of scripture, and not just pick and choose what he wants. And by the way, the roman "Church" has a few more problems than those. alan PS: Thank you for not ranting and raving about my "universal reconciliation" (see Colossians 1:20) belief being some form of talmodic bs.
