1Co 15:22  for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

I say that ALL will be in Christ in the finished end, and will be made whole(saved), you may argue and debate, but when you do, you are saying of a truth, that "perhaps and  maybe"  God CANT or WONT save His whole creation, for whatever reasons you have (however sad) for you lack in and of its self, the capicaity for love, even in the rough and rurual sense of caring for another person. To even consider that  God, who IS LOVE, would/could lose one soul, to anything from His Love, I say is very un-Christlike and lacks all the teachings of the Saviour, His disciples, and Apostles. Check your eye and its "beam" my friend.
Peace and Love Through Jesus

"who can say this verse is false?"

Yes, in the Christ all shall be made alive. But you need to have faith in order to be in Him. Unbelievers are not in Him. And if you die without Christ you shall never be in Him. For it is laid up to men once to die, and after this -- judgment.

 :cloud9: Yes, but His judgments are unto victory......there is no victory in toasting unsaved mankind forever. (UR mode  :winkgrin:) Blessings....

Hi Micah7:9,

What you say is right but I have heard Baptist preachers say, " everyone will be made alive and all will live forever, some in heaven and some in hell". People actually believe this.

CHB

WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE

When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, the SPIRIT made you alive together with Christ, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Jesus said, " the scriptures cannot be broken" (John 10:35)

The apostle Peter testified,

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
(2Pe 1:16-21), and

The apostle Paul testified,

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(2Ti 3:16-17)

Jesus our Lord, the only begotten Son of God understood the importance of the scriptures.

After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
(Joh 19:28)

Joh 13:18  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

Again Paul says,

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
(Rom 9:17)

The scriptures speak to the past present and future because they come from the mind of the one "who was and is and is to come". It is He who gave us the "aionios euaggelos"(Rev 14:6), the aionian gospel of Jesus Christ, a message that transcends the ages- good news of glad tidings to all(Luke 2:10,14)

Everyone touts their faith in the scriptures until they hear something that stretches their faith., but "faith comes by hearing" and "hearing comes by the word of God". The doctrine of the integrity of the scriptures is a deeper foundation than the doctrine of the reconciliation of all.

Though my reason rejoices that Jesus is making "all things new", and my heart and soul rejoice thet "mercy triumphs over judgement"- it is my understanding of the scripture, illuminated by the Spirit, that rewards me with the clear testimony- "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory forever, amen".

If anyone has not believed our gospel, it is because the god of this world has blinded their eyes so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Let's proclaim it like we believe it brothers and sisters. :bgdance:

There can't be restoration of the body without the foundations...... repentence and faith towards God, doctrines of baptisms and the laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead and eternal(aionian) judgment(Heb 5:12 -6:3).

The doctrine of eternal judgment is the teaching about what God has done through the aions and why.

"That God may be all in all", "For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things"- so that all things may celebrate the love of God in universal harmony is WHY.

Why?

(1)Because it was begun with "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"(Rev 13:8). (ALPHA)

(2)It is being accomplished in an administration suitable to the fulness of times- the summing up(gathering into one NASB) of all things in Christ (Eph 1:9,10).

(3)It will be finished when the scriptures are fulfilled(Rev 5:13) (OMEGA)

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all[/color].
