Hello, my name is Shawn. I grew up as a Nazarene, taught hell fire damnation and have been bothered by this teaching for many years. I have heard many of the UR arguments and have found them very strong. I have tried to discuss this for learning on typical Christian message boards and have met great resistance. I need to learn. I'm hoping I can do so here. It's good to be here.
:cloud9: I have a feeling the term "great resistance" might be an understatement. :winkgrin:
That's why we're here.....resting in Him, searching like the Bereans. Join us and welcome..... :thumbsup:
:welcome: Shawn :hithere:
I've seen those discussion boards. Often a lot of views can be discussed in a polite manner.
But when the term "salvation of all" is used then suddenly some snaps in their heads and the mud fight starts.
Such place a greta to blow of some steam but not for education. IMO

lol...yeah I have been called a heretic, someone worse than a satanist etc and so on. Funny thing...I don't even consider myself a UR guy. I am here to learn. I came to some knowledge through Martin Zender on UR stances. I brought up some points for discussion. I thought it was interesting and the points were very strong. I am open and willing to receive whatever truth God wants to give me.
I was PM'd on that site and told the moderators were watching me...accused of conspiring with a UR guy on their board and other very paranoid language. I was a bit shocked at the resistance to be honest.
I just want to say this one thing hell..............o!
