Hesed Unlimited

The Initial Comparison

This is a very simplified diagram of the POPULAR CONCEPT of salvation. It begins with God. From God comes The Word. From The Word comes all of Creation. Creation becomes judged through the fall of man, Jesus brings redemption through His death on the cross, and so some souls become redeemed and go to Heaven, while others go to the place of Torment. In this view, both Heaven and the Lake of Fire continue without end. The redeemed remain in a created state in God's presence. The lost remain in a created state separated from God's presence, tormented continually without any hope of salvation. This is another very simplified diagram, now showing the UNIVERSAL CONCEPT of salvation. Like the popular concept, it begins with God. From God comes The Word. From The Word comes all of Creation. Creation becomes judged through the fall of man, Jesus brings redemption through His death on the cross, and so some souls become redeemed and go to Heaven, while others go to the place of Torment. However, unlike the popular concept, both Heaven and the Lake of Fire have an end. All creation is eventually redeemed by Jesus. Once this is accomplished, Jesus ("The Word") returns to God, and the circle is completed. This presents a picture of total completeness. Instead of multitudes being left separated from the Creator without end, all creation is brought back into harmony with God through the power of His love. As a new Christian, I was discipled in the popular concept, and I zealously promoted it. But a few years later a friend of mine encouraged me to search the scriptures carefully, and I found that many of our modern beliefs are actually not scripturally accurate. As proof of this, let's examine some compelling verses that provide the foundation for the idea of a universal salvation. Then, I'll address the objections that will naturally arise, given the currently accepted teachings...
