Really?
No one comes but through Jesus
is that SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND????.
Lets break it down to something people can understand, Sich obviously some do not.
Jesus is at the entrance, He says whoever wants to enter, Come to him, and he will take you in,
Try to enter any other way, An dyou will NOT GET IN.
JESUS is the only one wiht power to take us in,
We can follow him all the way to the end, But if we do not give him our hand so he can take us, we will never enter in. Many disciples followed him, until he said they must go through him, And this offended them so they left.
There is ONLY ONE WAY.

I agree.
There is no salvation in Universalism.
And actually, Universalism is anti-biblical and anti-God.
But there is a broader issue here.
It is about the final judgment of individuals.
In each case, God has the option to show mercy, or to require justice.
We may be in for some surprises in that regard.
Even our own salvation depends on a relationship with God.
If someone has the relationship, even outside of biblical parameters,
who are we to say which way that might go?

Dont fall for this guys. All the non-registered people reading this DONT FALL FOR IT.
If what he is saying is true (WHICH ITS NOT) then our ETERNAL LIFE, would come to an end.
Matthew 25:46 has the same word aionios for ETERNAL LIFE and ETERNAL judgment. Therefore both are of the SAME DURATION.

Unless they get a Governor’s Pardon which is what Jesus has done for us. 
Even we were already condemned before we received grace.
We were pardoned for our debt. God has the right to do that even at the final judgment.

But who are the righteous?
When was Cornelius saved?
Did he not already have a relationship with God before Peter came to his home to preach?
Acts 10:22
The men replied, “We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to ask you to come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.”

Nope.
Try again.
That is not what offended them. Read the account in John 6:60-71. What offended them is the fact they cannot come to him unless it had been granted by the father. In other words salvation wasn't theirs due to their free will choice.
That is what offended them, so they went away. They wanted salvation their way.
We see the same thing today, people make up their own Jesus and say they can come to him in their own free will. That is what is offensive to many.
Jesus stated it concisely: "The flesh profits nothing," yet we have those today who deny this and say "Oh yes it does, I chose my way into heaven by free will!!!!!!!!!!!!" That is what offends people, not the above truncated statement by eg.

No.......the bible is clear on this.....Broad and wide is the way that leads to destruction and MANY will go in there at.......and....Many will come before me in that day saying, "LORD, LORD, have we not done many wonderful works in your name, have we not cast out demons in your name and have we not prophesied in your name." AND JESUS will say unto them...I NEVER KNEW YOU depart from me ye that work iniquity.
Whosoever is not found written in the book of life WILL be cast ALIVE into the lake of fire......
MANY are called, but FEW are chosen <---not the word ALL is not found anywhere in that text!!
