I am looking for something to share with people to introduce them to the idea and get them interested enough to study the matter more. Preferably something short or maybe in video form(to inspire interest and doubt in ECT and get them thinking and researching rather than something to convince or convert someone by itself). I know there are free books but I know that if someone is making a claim I am skeptical of then I am honestly less likely to read it if I go to a shared link and it is really long. I thought that universal salvation must have been a "cult" or non-scriptural wishful thinking before I studied it(and the only reason I studied it is because I was desperate and stumbled across one of the John Wesley Hanson books on this site and saw the claims about the words translated to hell but normally I would not have read something so long). I suspect people will be more likely to read or watch something if it it is short(especially considering the skepticism and suspicion the idea of universal salvation faces). Also what do you think is the best summary of myths about christian universalism that you have seen?

Here is a link to a short (about 9 minutes) video someone else recently shared here on another thread that I liked a lot. It is a testimony by J. Preston Eby about how he came to understand the truth of universal salvation. It is clear that he is not someone that pitched the bible out the window and went with UR cuz it tickled his fancy better. That is what people thought I did and a video like this can be very helpful to show the heartfelt love of the scriptures by someone who believes in the salvation of all.
Bushy , you dont say a lot but when you do :thumbsup:
I agree that many will be called heretics for the gospel of Jesus Christ and ultimate salvation of all
I am in my own household ,,
I know we have to believe in God and not go along with the men pleasing
Just as Prestion Eby says , we never know the time our hour when the Lord comes to us , it is like a theif in the night / darkness and ignorance
Some like him were called from birth I believe
Just as Samuel and John the baptist and Jesus , great examples of Gods calling and being purposed in Gods plan
I can recall the first time I questioned the authority of a preacher , preaching in Isaiah 4 and how he failed to read the context of the message
But used it to instill fear of the Lord and hell fire.
I knew than something was not right .
GOD is no respecter of person , This is the main thing that made me think clearly , that mankind has a problem understanding this, and definitely is a respecter of person
GOD is good always and HIM BEING SPIRIT of LOVE and we being human are simply not good always , but tasting the Spirit /GOD and knowing this truth is good
Does put a craving for more of HIM ...
