Hello! My name is cristina!!!

[CST]

Some Traditionalists believe that Universalists are being possessed by demons.I want to know what you guys think about it.

This is what I think of it:

Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.  50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. (John 8:48-50)

   Welcome Cristina with your stimulating stance    .

  I believe as we judge so shall we BE JUDGED !

It is never a good thing to judge  anyone without mercy  , unless you  don't want   mercy  yourself ..

  The Good Lord said they spoke  evil of  Him , so expect the same treatment   and to count it   all as joy  in the Lord Jesus Christ 


   I believe the    WORD OF GOD is within everyone  who believes in God , as the WORD OF GOD judges us all   man cannot live by bread alone , but every Word that proceeds out of the  mouth of God .
    Jesus Christ is His name  , there is NO NAME  UNDER HEAVEN  BY WHICH YOU MUST BE SAVED ... HE  IS  ALSO  called the WORD OF GOD 

REV19   ...12His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems;

and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

13He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses....

Isaiah 63:2
Why are your garments red, like those of one treading the winepress?

Isaiah 63:3
"I have trodden the winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me. I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I stained all my clothing.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.


I do think   the  babes  sins/carnal  still  are forgiven  them for His names sake  , but they have   yet to overcome the evil one , the accuser  of the brethren  an awful lots of growing in truth and grace    to do   still .

  and    will mature   in the fulness of Gods LOVE ,  if God permits   1 John 2

...11But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.


13I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning.


I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father....

   14I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning.


I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
By the grace of God   we are what we are  , it is Gods grace    whom saves us   all and His "gift to mankind "

I wonder what it meant to judge someone as having a demon in biblical times. What did they believe about how people got a demon, how much the demon affected their autonomy, how responsible were they for there the fact the had a demon or demons?

If traditionalism was true then why didn't Jesus say "for God so loved the world he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him in this lifetime shall not perish but have eternal life."?

I'm not keen on having big discussions on the introductions forums because they're likely to get lost and wasted. But it might actually be implicit to the original hearers/readers in what Jesus said or John wrote. There's some dispute over whether the statement is John recording what Jesus said or John's commentary on what Jesus said.
