Eventually
On this web site, the
dominant theme our Lord Christ Jesus! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
and none may come to the Father except through Him!
Systematic Reconciliation
must not be confused with the gospel of inclusion or any false, non-biblical
universalism! The fact is that all shall come to the Father through the
heart-felt confession, “Jesus Christ is Lord!” But, when will that happen?
Christians have been given faith to sustain us until that moment! The answer to
the question is.
“eventually!”
Mainstream Christian theology
teaches that God punishes most with an “eternal torment.”
I feel that to be impossible.
Since the torment being
discussed has a beginning, it cannot be “eternal.”
Oh, it will happen, but it
will not be eternal.
That is a simply stated,
straight-forward fact!
Another fact that has become
truth to me is that the Bible never speaks of an eternal torment.
Never!
If you study the Greek text
that truth becomes clearer.

Reconciliation teach anything about the

who believes in Systematic Reconciliation can also believe that people will be

Absolutely!
The first reason they can
believe that is because the Bible says it will happen!
The second reason is that the
Within mainstream theology
there is a twisted teaching that says, God loves the world, but is willing to
destroy most of the world He created because those known as “lost” will not
admit that Christ Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, the way, the Truth, and
the Life.
It is my view that the
confession “Jesus Christ as Lord” is mandatory
for all!
When the Bible tells us that
none may come to the Father except through Christ Jesus, I believe it!
The biblical fact is that
some will go into the
It is also a biblical fact
that all will---eventually---come to
worship God.
As we look around, that may
seem to be a contradiction, unless you understand that---eventually---all men
will cry out to God for mercy, and in His love, He shall grant their request!
The Bible repeatedly tells us
that God’s mercy endures forever.
The Bible tells us that all flesh will come to God (Ps.
65:2).
The Bible tells us that all nations shall come and
worship before God (Ps. 86:9).
The Bible tells us the Lord
is good to all (Ps.
145:9).
The Bible tells us that God
shall swallow up death forever (Is. 25:8).
And, it tells us so much more
about God’s love for His creation.
The fact of the
John 6:40, 44
40 And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
44 No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at (Gr.
en-en) the last day.
Many attempt to interpret
those verses as teaching one thing or another, but the obvious truth is that
all who have been given to Christ shall come to Him and Christ Jesus will raise
them up, resurrect them at/in the last day.
There is another fact that
cannot be ignored.
Matt 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Do you believe that part of
the Bible?
I do!
If someone is committed to
the
It is at that point that the
Father will show His loving mercy and raise that person up to life.
There is no such thing as a
resurrection to death.
How can a person who is
already dead be resurrected to death?
That is illogical---totally
illogical, and yet it is taught in Churches world-wide and has been for
centuries.
Long before Christ came to
earth as a small child, when he was with the Father in heaven prior to His
incarnation, the Father prepared for the moment when He would ask the seemingly
impossible.
Ps 2:8 Ask
of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
On the cross, Christ looked
down on a lost and dying humanity and said, “Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).
God the Son never asked for
that which was outside of the plan of God the Father.
At that point something
wonderful and inexplicable happened.
Isa 53:6b
the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Has anybody ever explained
that to you?
Do you realize that Christ
Jesus took responsibility for our sins?
In that request from the
cross, Jesus fulfilled the promise God made through John the baptizer that He,
Christ Jesus, would be the lamb that would take away the sin of the world (John
1:29b).
It was at the time of that
pain-filled request that Christ Jesus took upon Himself the sins of the world
by becoming the propitiation, or substitutionary sacrifice for all the sins of
all the world (1 John 2:2).
Later, when He arose from
that cold grave, victorious over death and sin, Christ Jesus, God the Son
officially became the Savior of the world (1 John 4:14).
The crucifixion and
resurrection of Christ Jesus is far more than just a benign event in the march
of history.
His resurrection proves
conclusively that God’s mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13).
Christ Jesus took upon
Himself the responsibility for our sins, and in fact for the sins of the world,
and yet He has risen and indeed sits at the right hand of the Father (Romans
8:34).
Through the work of Christ
Jesus
Eventually
we too will be raised to
life, and will joyfully and wonderfully worship Him who made us.
Then we will understand.
Rom 11:36
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
It is due to Jesus’
crucifixion and resurrection that God the Father is making all things new (Rev.
21:5).
The response to Christ’s
request for the forgiveness of mankind at the point of crucifixion is not now
evident, but
Eventually
all shall come to Christ, and
through Him they shall be reconciled to their Creator.
You can serve Him now or
serve Him later, but
Eventually
you all will serve Him.
