These observations are a cause for great celebration... at least for believers and me. As I explained, questions about the extent of God's grace in salvation grew like a dark cloud in my life, clouding my relationship with Christ. I was not sure I would be able to rejoice in Heaven. I needed to agree that Christ had done the right thing in saving some while eternally damning others. Yet I could not and so... read more.

Consider the words of Luke 16:19-31 (WEB), 19) Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. 20) A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores, 21) and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22) The beggar died, and he was... read more.

Hopefully I have persuaded you to consider the weaknesses of the popular traditional salvation models. Both Arminianism and Calvinism are reasonable at points, but unreasonable at other points. These facts ought to be enough cause for every Christian to consider the interpretation of Scripture that Christ is victorious in the salvation of all mankind. Yet perhaps you still do not feel comfortable with ALL of PART, or PART of ALL, or ALL of ALL combinations... read more.

SOME>> Wait! Some are not written in the Book of Life from the creation of the world! ME>> Good point. Consider Revelation's mention of the Book of Life. He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 3:5 (WEB) All who dwell on the earth will... read more.

OBJECTOR>> You make too much of one verse with Romans 11:32. One verse cannot prove that God loves all mankind! ME>> You make an excellent point that one verse cannot build an entire system of truth. However, I would add that one verse cannot build an entire system of truth... that is at contradiction with the remainder of the Bible. HOWEVER, one verse can speak truthfully and powerfully. One verse can speak truth that cannot... read more.

I am not the first to leap for joy over this awesome news! The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father," (Philippians... read more.

Before we charge ahead, let's review a longer list of notable individuals with opinions about Christian salvation. Theologians of all stripes have taken up their pens to give reasonable explanations of the gospel. Hopefully we all agree that the Bible is the source definition of the gospel. However, it is not wrong to write books that attempt to explain the meaning of the Bible. I am doing it myself right now! But, before going deeper... read more.

In this model Christ did PART of salvation for PART of mankind. This model assumes that when Jesus died on the cross he only paid for the sins of PART of mankind. Furthermore, suppose he only did PART of the work so that individuals must meet an additional condition to be saved. For an extreme example, suppose that Mother Teresa is not within the PART of mankind that Jesus forgave. Or suppose she misses the... read more.

A Question>> I logically understand your thesis that Christ is the Savior of all Mankind and would like to believe it. However, I just cannot let go of the centuries of Christian scholars who have defended both Arminianism and Calvinism. Why would I want to change? A Reply>> I can fully understand why it is difficult to let go of either Arminianism or Calvinism. These systems have existed for centuries and so have a long... read more.
