Title: Episcopius' first post

I have the book THE ONE PURPOSE OF GOD by Jan Bonda. He was a Dutch Reformed minister who, after retirement, began seriously investigating Universalism. It went against many of his Calvinist beliefs, so was hard for him to accept, but he did. The book is largely an exposition of Romans, in a radically different way than I had ever seen before. I am on a few boards as Episcopius, a few as Anto9us, and a few as DancesWithGnostics. I am halfway through Bonda's book for the second time, the first time convinced me that Universalism MIGHT BE true -- this time it seems it IS true. William Barclay is the only other commentator I have read who is Universalist. I am Methodist/Arminian. Episcopius was a spokesman for Arminius' followers after Arminius passed away.

Universalism is GOOD NEWS! :banana:
