On Christmas Day, a friend of mine, Mike Owens, sent me his “word for the day.” Mike has made it a habit to learn a new word each day. The word for this Christmas Day was munificence. If the reader has ever come across this word, it was probably from reading or watching A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. After Uncle Scrooge’s encounter with the spirits of Christmas, Uncle Scrooge became very “munificent,” an extremely generous giver. Even as the word munificence is not in most people’s vocabulary, it is also not common knowledge that Charles Dickens believe in universal salvation, that is, the salvation of all mankind through the death, burial and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. Amazing love. Munificence at its highest!
And so as Tiny Tim observed, “God Bless Us, Everyone One!” And so He shall.
“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all mankind to Myself. This He spoke signifying what manner He should die.” John 12:32, 33. Not even the Gates of hell can hold back the magnificent munificence of our Father and His Son. Matt. 16:18 If you need some help comprehending such lavish love, visit tentmaker.org, lovewins.us or what-the-hell-is-hell.com.

You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the article you write.
The world hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to mention how
they believe. At all times follow your heart.
Hi I am so happy I found your blog page, I really found
you by error, while I was researching on Yahoo for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot for a marvelous
post and a all round exciting blog (I also love the theme/design),
I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but
I have bookmarked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time
I will be back to read much more, Please do keep
up the awesome jo.
I recalled from many years ago a woman who, as I recall was a great writer but one of her books (Zonderman Publishers?) was banned by this huge pub Co. because she dared spout a heresy of Universal Salvation. A title “Lambs Feet In High Places” came to my mind and I finally found the book and author (Hinds Feet… Hanah Hurnard.)
Fascinating. For years I have doubted the dogma/myth of immanent eternal torture for 60 odd years (or much less, including infants!)of a large handful of errors (“Sin” in the Western Judeo/Christian/Islamic worldview) vs. ignorance (the Eastern religio-philosophical word/perspective thereof.)
What was Christ doing in Hell just after death on the cross? If Christ as Infinite God died for our sins it is an Infinite Sacrifice for a very finite number of humans. I am blessed with your site (Thank you Hanah et al) and want to read some of your materials. Bless You gent in India Too!
