@sola_chad Inerrancy is a modern day invention. Even those who established the canon itself didn’t believe in it the way evangelicals do today.

@sola_chad Calvinism is a disease.

@sola_chad Here I fixed your caption: “Look how spiritual I am”

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@DonnieDarkened Thanks for reminding me how ridiculous my fundamentalist belief system used to be. Sometimes I forget how hilarious it all sounds. Man life is so much better on the other side 😎

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

The only error we can make in preaching the Gospel is underselling it. Embellishing the goodness of God? Impossible. Exaggerating the reach of his grace? Inconceivable.

In Christ there is no such thing as
"too good to be true."

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

Tell me, which of Christ’s mockers and murderers repented and chose to follow him before he said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”?

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@haymes_joshua In his 1,800 pages of “Institutes of the Christian Religion” Calvin didn’t once reference 1 John 4:8/16 “God is love.” Real glorious 🤡

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

How could a God whose “anger is but for a moment” enforce an existence of endless torment?

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 Nope. One went to Paradise “that day”. It doesn’t say the other went somewhere else.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

It is impossible to honestly desire and rejoice in following a God who tortures people forever. Thus it is a logical fallacy for that kind of God to exist. Thus… hell is one hell of a fiction.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 Ah I see you think it’s okay to add to the scripture, because that’s not in the text 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 So Paul is Kirkland brand Rob Bell?

As in Adam ALL die so in Christ shall ALL be made alive

God has consigned ALL to disobedience that he might have mercy on ALL

As one trespass led to condemnation for ALL so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for ALL

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 Jesus said EVERYONE will be salted with fire. In Revelation, all the saints are also seen standing in that lake, described as a “sea of glass mingled with fire.” It’s where death goes to die. It’s the fire of God’s love. And it makes all things new.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 You can reject it all you want, but you can’t escape it. Every knee will bow and tongue confess.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 If Hitler is in heaven then that would mean God is good to those who are evil. Oh wait… what was it Jesus said? “God is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.” Or do you really think the power of sin is stronger than the power of God’s love?

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@JamesIsaacs440 Someone who endlessly tortures his own creation for their finite, immature decisions in a sliver of time is… good? No one actually believes that. We say we do because we were told that’s what the Bible says (it doesn’t) but deep down it doesn’t register with anyone.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@_1984Sheepdog @realprophetguy @MrWanMath1 I’ve studied the Bible extensively and the universalist interpretation is the most robust and intellectually honest exegesis I’ve ever encountered.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@_1984Sheepdog @realprophetguy @MrWanMath1 That’s a common misunderstanding. https://t.co/8COO8RKxZS And no, the vast majority did not reject universalism. 4 of the 6 prominent schools of thought in the early church embraced universalism.

[Ben Anderson @benpanders0n]

@_1984Sheepdog @realprophetguy @MrWanMath1 Ironic that you brought up two points that Scripture leads us to logically conclude universal salvation. 1 - God desires all to be saved (1 Tim 2:4) and 2 - He will accomplish all he desires (Ps 115:3, Is 46:10)
