Luke 18 -
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God." [note: to be clear, for the readers of this thread, in this context this is Jesus making the point that He Himself is God]
[...<snip>...]
31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Hi Hev,
I have to agree with you, the writer of the book the Shack is a universalist.
Some of the emotional issues are very true though.
Loss of children, guilt, resolution and acceptance that the Lord holds everything in His hands
are true.
I see so much that my heart resonates with, though its total outlook is not good.
I like the song though, and in this I praise God.
God bless you

Oy vey...
Anyone seen the news about that american 'christian' preacher shout racist slurs and excess profanities in a hotel in Uganda, punching the hotel staff and telling Uganda hates Jesus and refuses to repent. "You refuse to repent, all you ******"
He had a veteran hat on too, sheesh. He sucker punched the ugandan man a bunch of times but he kept his cool and didnt fight back, what a CALM man. He could of easily sent him to meet Jesus face to face by the looks of it.
Yeah...... Bad press for Christianity!

18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'"
21 "All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said.
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth.
24 Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
26 Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?"
27 Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
Luke 18:18-27

Dear forum please listen, "YourTruthGod" is trying to mislead the friends of decon by saying that; decon has had a "special revelation" when he was a young child but that is nothing but a "bold face lie" and a misrepresentation of what actually happened when decon was a young child. The fact is "Decontroversal" our beloved friend "never, never, never, had a special revelation." The reason is "YourTruthGod" is trying to deflect the fact that in his post below he claims that he does receive revelations from God.
The fact remains; Decontroversal has never received special revelation from God however YourTruthGod has received special revelation from God but he is trying to deny the fact of this truth.

The great thing with the real world is we are being honest and real with one another.
These forums seem to encourage competition and point scoring, which is sad.
But even so the Lord can teach us a lot of good things
May the Lord go with you, Amen

Is it possible some people might sincerely believe differently to yourself?
One of the hardest things is to see so many take so many different positions, if we saw
them all we could not cope. So I am grateful the Lord is gracious to lead me slowly through
things step by step, and person by person. God bless you.

... At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. Matthew 11:25-26
...And he said: “I tell you the truth, UNLESS you change and BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL NEVER ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Therefore, whoever HUMBLES HIMSELF like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But IF ANYONE CAUSES ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN ME TO SIN, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. “Woe to the world because of the things that CAUSE PEOPLE TO SIN! Such things must come, but WOE TO THE MAN THROUGH WHOM THEY COME! If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be THROWN INTO ETERNAL FIRE. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be THROWN INTO THE FIRE OF HELL. Matthew 18:3-9
DO NOT PROVOKE THIS MAN @YourTruthGod and therefore cause him to sin by being provoked into your evil schemings.
...Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become CONCEITED, PROVOKING and ENVYING each other. Galatians 5:25-26
...IF ANYONE TEACHES FALSE DOCTRINES and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is CONCEITED and UNDERSTANDS NOTHING. He has an unhealthy interest in CONTROVERSIES and QUARRELS ABOUT WORDS that result in envy, strife, MALICIOUS TALK, EVIL SUSPICIONS and CONSTANT FRICTION between men of corrupt mind, who have been ROBBED OF THE TRUTH and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 1 Timothy 6:3-5
...Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that NO MURDERER HAS ETERNAL LIFE IN HIM. 1 John 3:15
