About two months ago, the Holy Spirit impressed within me "I am Truth". It was firm and reassuring. For seven years I had walked without God in my life.
Prior to that 7 years, I had studied the Bible very much and had attended many different denominations. I kept searching for truth ( I am a learner by personality), but there was always something evasive. In frustration, I decided that the Bible was just the work of man, the same as other mytholgies throughout history, namely, based on Astrological Mythology.
My time away from God was pretty much meaningless. By that I mean I saw the futility of life. As I was still seeking a meaning for life, I searched into what science had to offer as well. That led me to realize, that life and the cosmos was not happen chance, but was definitely by design. But who was the desinger? It was just after that realization that He spoke within me; "I am Truth".
Since that day, right before "Easter" of this year, I have been in God's word continuously. And one of the revelations that He showed me was the Universal Salvation of All his Children.
My brother believes in eternal hell, and just recently I emailed him and asked him a question; "What sin didn't Christ die for?" and what did Paul mean when he said; "In Adam all die, but in Christ shall all be made alive"?
He didn't answer the first question, but said that all men will die because of Adam and that all will be made alive because of Christ, some to eternal life and some to eternal damnation.
Since then, as I pondered that, I thought how rediceoulous that is. What would be the point in atoning for everyone's sin, just to turn around and condemn them again! Hopefully we will continue that discussion, although it will be a challange.
Anyway, I am really glad for Tentmakers website and all the content. I look forward to much study and discussions on the forum.
The first one I want to post is "The lake of fire". The Holy spirit revealed to me something pretty neat and I would like to share that.
