God won’t force everyone to go to heaven
When discussing the topic of Universal Reconciliation, some Christians like to argue that God wouldn’t force everyone to live with Him forever in heaven, because they think He wouldn’t do anything that would go against our supposed ”free will” (many also try to sanitize the idea of never-ending torment in hell or in the lake of… Continue reading God won’t force everyone to go to heaven
God is still on Plan A
In my last article, I mentioned that those of us in the true body of Christ tend to believe God is 100% in control of absolutely everything, and that the “absolutely everything” He’s in control of includes evil and the suffering it can result in (since evil and suffering are a part of “absolutely everything”).

“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” — Anne Bradstreet As one learns more about the theology of those of us in the true body of Christ, they’re often extremely surprised when they discover our theodicy,… Continue reading Unmerited suffering and God

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” – Romans 10:9-10 Misunderstanding what Paul wrote in Romans 10:9-10… Continue reading Confessing and believing
Save yourself!
Did Jesus Christ save you, or did you save yourself? Most Christians will claim to believe that Jesus saved them, but when you look at the facts it becomes apparent that they actually believe God only helps those who help themselves, and that they believe they are, in fact, their own (at least partial) saviours,… Continue reading Save yourself!
What the Hinnom?
A lot of Christians are under the impression that a particular “hell” mentioned in the Bible is a reference to the lake of fire, specifically the “hell” that will be located in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and that some people will suffer consciously in that place without ever being able to escape… Continue reading What the Hinnom?
Don’t blame God — He tried His best
After all, is it God’s fault that He made 90% of humans too stupid or foolish or selfish or stubborn to choose to get saved? I’m sure He did everything He could think of to get as many people saved as He possibly could, but at the end of the day He made humans in… Continue reading Don’t blame God — He tried His best
