Universalism: The Antichrist And Heretic Teaching
The doctrine of UNIVERSALISM otherwise known as INCLUSION is a teaching from the devil and its purpose is to pervert the grace of God as well as kill the spirit of evangelism.
This teaching posits that at the "end of age" EVERYMAN shall be reconciled to God due to the sacrifice of Christ and the enormous love of God that transcends all things. The bottom line of this teaching is that IRRESPECTIVE OF MAN'S RESPONSE TO THE GOSPEL OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
This FALSE doctrine is making waves in Europe and across the globe. A good number of Christians in the USA and the UK are subscribing to this ANTICHRIST doctrine. YES!! I MEAN ANTICHRIST, without any apology to whosoever. Maybe the UNIVERSALISTS should get a different description for themselves and not call themselves CHRISTIANS.
WHO IS SAVED?
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
John 3:16,18
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Acts 16:30,31.
30: And brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved, and thy house.
The above scriptures rightly tell us how to be saved and by extension tell us who is saved. The concept of Salvation is a simple one. God gave us his son as a saviour and to be saved you have to believe in him as your saviour. It's simple.
God however will not force Salvation on you as the universalists will want you to believe.
LOVE is the GREATEST and SUPREME ethic of God and by extension humanity. Love operates on free will. The concept of choice comes in where there is a free will. The love of God that was "commanded towards us while we were sinners" needed to be responded to by believing in Jesus. It is WRONG to think that God will eventually save you after he gave you the freewill to decide. If he does that, he will break his respect for freewill which moves hand in hand with his LOVE.
THE SATANIC DEVICES
I will straight away want to respond to the evil interpretation of scriptures often done by Universalists to get people to believe their false teaching.
1. Aion /Olam.
The universalist will always claim that if we understand Hebrew or Greek, or if we understand the concept and context of issues addressed then we will believe what they teach. Well, I made time to look up for the meanings and usage of the aforementioned Greek and Hebrew words respectively.
Aion -Greek-(noun) - an age
Adonis (adjective) - pertaining to age
olam - Hebrew ( Aion equivalent)
The universalist posit that 'Aion' is based on the Hebrew word 'Olam' . This suggests that the words mean the same. Hence if 'Olam' can't mean "forever", 'Aion' can't also mean "forever". They will quickly refer to Jonah 2:6.
Jonah 2:6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever (olam): yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
We see Jonah uses the word "forever" as a hyperbole and not literally. AGREED!! Hence the word forever (olam) in this context doesn't mean forever. Let's quickly Jeremiah 33:11
Jeremiah 33:11
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom , and the voice of the bride , the voice of them that shall say , Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever (Olam): and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
The above scripture doesn't suggest God's love as temporal but eternal. The universalists will hide behind verses like Jonah 2:6 to say the word "Olam" simply means an age. However, Jeremiah 33:11 uses "Olam" to mean an eternal thing.
This line of debate is used by those that believe that there will be a form of punishment. They at same time as believe that God's punishment for those that reject Christ will be temporal.
The lake of fire is real. Some men will find themselves there because they rejected Jesus Christ and the gospel. It is eternal (without end). Let's further look into this idea of "olam" and "Aion" using concordance.
From the NAS exhaustive concordance aionion is defined as age-long or eternal.
Truth is the terms Olam and aionion could mean an age and also mean everlasting or forever.
Content defines meaning.
Let's consider these few scriptures.

From the NAS exhaustive concordance aionion is defined as agelong or eternal life. Content defines meaning. Let's look at these few scriptures.
John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting (aionion) life.
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal (aionion) life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal (aionion) life believed.
Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal (aionion) life
1John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal (aionion) life, and this life is in his Son.
Hypocritically, the universalist will agree that in this case aionion means forever or eternal.
Yes it talks about eternal life but the Bible doesn't talk about eternal hell" they will always say.
This is also another lie from hell and a device to cause men to lose fix on Christ. Even Jesus the master speaks and mentions of hell than he spoke of heaven.
Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting(aionion) fire.
With the above scripture they will resort to saying that aionion means an age.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Universalism believes that the devil and his angels will as well be restored at the end of age and that the torment won't be forever. This is a lie. The scriptures are clear on this subject.
Jesus did not die for angels. He died for men. "He took the form of sinful flesh". It's obvious why I am not a universalist.
It claim the above are not talking about eternal torment is playing the Roman fool intellectually.
Hell is real and men will go there and live there forever if they don't receive Jesus as lord and Savior. Don't be fooled.
