To the consternation of many and the joy of others, I don’t see how any christianity can be a good in the world if the possibility of an eternal hell (let alone full-blown infernalism) is considered anything other than the worst blasphemy and heresy against Christ. Deific apokatastasis or bust.

Oddly ended up on an evangelical track website today and came across this jewel. I’m lightly tempted to buy a few to check the second box and mail back in. Whatever this religion is it isn’t my Christianity. This moral stupidity must end.

The Apostles (esp. Paul) were not 19th C Catholics, 16th C Protestants, 6th C Augustinians, or even 4th C Nicenes, they were 1st C Jews whose apocalyptic expectations were radically different even from their own post-apocalyptic traditions 50-100 years later.

Random person asks if anyone knows what this long Greek word apokatastasis means?

The whole triune God indwells the whole of creation. None should pretend to be islands separate from the infinte ocean of being that is God—and to be part of God is to love neighbor and enemy as oneself.

Many Christians now: Humility? Gentleness? Weak. Passive. We want power and wealth!
The idea that having wealth is a virtue that obviously commends a person to a position of power is antithetical to Christianity. Nope, it's a huge red flag.
This applies even to the "good" billionaires, y'all.

I don’t think I have met two people with the same definition of progressive revelation. Some uses seem fine, but others, as with this unfortunate cleric, cede far too much to fundamentalists and then mirror that error in the opposite direction.
