I believe God is all loving, all powerful and righteous. I believe that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. I believe that He will drag all men to Himself. I believe that God wills for all men to be saved and come to knowledge of the truth. But by the church, that makes me a heretic. That also means Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, the 12, and all the early Christians were heretics. Such beautiful heresy...
Micah 7:7

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

John 15:5

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

I remember thinking the same when I first came in to UR. I think there is a blog or a website that is named something similar.

sometimes a heresy is beautiful hearsay.

Outside an authoritarian, monolithic Church, I don't think the concept of heresy even makes sense.  We have different points of view, but they should remain just that.  The concept of heresy should be put to sleep, given the mind-numbing multiplicity of views within Christianity.  :sigh: :2c: :sigh:
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

Eternal torment is the greatest heresy I have ever heard of. Worse yet, many believe it and call it just.

I was in awe at the truth and wonder in the lyrics of one of our worship songs we played/sang yesterday in our worship service:

"The more I seek you,
The more I find you;
The more I find you,
The more I love you.

I want to sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand
Lay back against you and breathe
Feel your heartbeat
This love is so deep
It's more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
It's overwhelming"

The More I Seek You, by Zach Neese

Amen! Once one knows the true God and His true nature, hard to imagine anyone not loving Him! I'm not at all sure it's even possible!(?)

Since I embraced the truth of UR, I have fallen ever so deeply in love with God. :HeartThrob:
I am more appalled than ever over the concepts of hell and ET. :eek:
